If that's the case then I'm ready to die [Ch.26]

~Anthony POV~


"Where are they, it's been over an hour."

"Bro, calm down. Don't trust them, or something?" Phil asked annoyed that I wasn't being quiet enough for him to watch the movie.

"I dunno." I said flopping back down on the sofa next to him.

Caleb walked in and pulled Mandie through the threshold. She slipped of her shoes and ran out of the room, Caleb sat on the armchair and waited calmly. She came back out in her pajamas, ready for bed.

"Night." she said sweetly kissing Phil's cheek like usual and leaving the room.

"Mandie's decided to spend the night with me." Cale said following her.

By the time my mind registered, his door was closing. "Worse then I thought."

"Don't worry, they know better." Phil said half hugging me and leaving for bed.

When I woke up Mandie was sitting on the bench of her makeup table in our room. She looked up and blinked rapidly running a hand over her eyes.

"I'm sorry about Jenna." I said. "I truely am, she was the girl every guy wanted - and she was after me. Do you know that feeling?"

She bit her lip. "If you don't remember, I was that girl. Mr. Popular always drew me in, but I rejected them; I had my eye on someone." she paused. "You. And adorable no-body, at the time, who was in love with music. That was all I knew, not even your name at the time, and that you put your buddies before yourself."

"What's your point?" I seriously didn't know, it didn't come out as snippy as it sounds.

"No I am the no-one, and I'm being rejected my the one who 'loves' me. Ant, do you know how it makes me feel to know you want Jenna - she's just into you because I had you, she was always trying to be me!" Mandie yelled.

"I don't want her." I stated flatly.

"Don't you, now - her kisses didn't win you over 100%?"

"Don't be like that, I was just caught in the moment, guys like to be kissed. Now about you and Caleb..."

"We're just friends, close ones. I have no feelings for him, what-so-ever." Her face remained tense with truth.

I stood up and walked over to her. "Then we're fine? As couple-like as we can be for this month."

She nodded, I bent forward and kissed her. Her warm breath spread across my face when she said, "Anthony."

I smiled, eyes closed. "I really really like you, Jenna." my eyes sprang open. "Mandie."

She stood and slapped my face as hard as she could. I followed her into the hallway, Caleb was coming out of his room, she grabbed his hand and pulled him back in.

~Mandie POV~

Salty tears collected on my lips as Caleb held me in his arms.

Anthony was banging on the locked door yelling, "Caleb, Mandie!" repeatedly.

I heard Phil yell for him to shut up, there was a struggle, then silence.

"So what happened?" he whispered into my ear.

"Anthony kissed me, when he pulled back he called me Jenna."

"Harsh." Cale pointed out.

"Mmm, what do I do?"

He sighed heavily, "Give me a shot."

I looked into his eyes and forced a smiled. "As long as you can deal with one thing?"

"Anything." he assured me.

"Anthony and I, we're going to have another baby. Actually, its the first one I guess."
