"Well, we both really want to we can if you want." I say with a faint smile.

"We probably shouldn't," I smile faintly, although I can't shake the feeling that I really want to.

I sigh a bit. "Okay then.'' I say softly.

"Sorry," I mumble, letting go of her and moving to sit round so I'm facing forward on the couch.

I sigh, feeling a tear fall, but I wipe it away before he could see. "I'm the one that should be sorry." I say softly, still looking at him.

"You've got nothing to be sorry for Shell," I reply evenly, keeping my gaze straight ahead.

"Maybe I should go or..." I say trailing off, not really wanting to, but stand up and reach for my coat off the chair.

"Just...please keep in contact? I want to..." I gesture weakly at her stomach because I don't really want to say it out loud, "I want to...know about all this, and be there...and...please, just don't cut me out or anything."

I look down at my stomach and sigh. "This should be fun. You and Jay sure hit it off didn't you?" I say looking at him.

I reflexively put a hand to my jaw, which is still bruising up. My ribs don't ache as much anymore, only if I move too much.
"Well, that's one way of putting it," I mutter.

I sigh a bit. "Sorry about that." I say looking at him, as he feels his jaw. "Ian, I still love you..." I bite my lip. "Do you feel the same still or not?"

"It's fine," I mutter, then nod, "Of course I still feel the same, Shell. But...I love Maddie."

I close my eyes slowly.
You knew it Shelby. Now look at you. Pregnant with Ian's baby.
"And I love Jay." I say trying to hold back my tears from him, not wanting to cry anymore infront of him.
Then why were you hoping that he was going to choose you over her?

"I'm sorry," I say quietly, watching her cautiously. I know a part of me has been hoping that somehow this could work. But I've probably known all along that it couldn't. Not while she has Jay and I have Maddie.

I turn around, not being able to hold the tears in anymore. I silently cry, wrapping my arms around myself.

"Shell..." I mumble guiltily, putting my hand lightly on her shoulder, "Please don't."

Post by Shelby Chou on Jan 26, 2008 22:23:18 GMT
"No, I'm fine... Really.'' I say still not turning around.

My conscience lets rip a stream of colourful insults directed at myself and I swallow guiltily.
"Please, Shell, don't."

"I said I was fine." I say again, still managing not to cry aloud.

"You're not acting fine," I say quietly.

"How else am I supposed to react Ian?" I yell turning around, now sobbing.

I flinch away from her slightly, answering softly, "I don't know Shell."

I sigh softly, taking deeper breaths. "I'm sorry I lashed out at you. I just don't know how to deal with all this, when normally I have some idea." I say looking up at him.

"It's alright, don't worry about it," I shrug as an acceptance to her apology, but I'm not sure what to say to her second remark so I just don't say anything at all.

I sigh softly. "H-He took me back. And when I went for a walk on the highstreet late a couple nights ago, he actually went looking for me." I say with a faint smile. I had no idea why I mentioned this, but I didn't want to stare there in front of him, not saying anything at all.

I smile, although I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm very glad I haven't ruined things for her, but I'm slightly disappointed and I don't really understand why.
"That's...great, Shell."

I nod my head. "Did Maddie come back?" I ask him softly. I look at his expression and looked like something was bothering him. "What's wrong?"

"Yeah, she came home," I smile weakly, then shrug and drop my eyes to the floor.

"Ian. I know something's wrong." I say putting my arms around his waist loosely.

"It's just..." I shrug slightly again, moving my arms absently around her back, "I don't know. I still have feelings for you."
