I can't believe Jennifer hit me in the eye. How am I supposed to explain this to my parents! I thought to myself, still in the bathroom at the movie theater.

After about 10 minutes after Lisa left, I decided that I should head home now so I exited the bathroom and to my wondering eyes, I saw Taylor waiting in the lobby.

*Taylor's POV*

Finally, she came out. Ohmigosh! Look at her eye. How could Jennifer do something like that?

"You okay, Julia?" I asked her.

*Julia's POV*

"Yeah, I think I'll be fine. It's just a little swollen. What are you still doing here?" I replied.

"I wanted to make sure you were okay. I care about you," he said.

"You do? Why?"

Taylor didn't answer right away. He kinda looked around like he was trying to get his words out right. "Yeah, I do care about you, Julia. And I don't know why. All I know is that I care about you and that you are one of my best friends. Maybe more. I don't know."

"Well, you are more than one of my best friends. I like you, Taylor," I said.

He smiled and blushed a little. "C'mon! I'll walk you home."

We exited the movie theater. About halfway home, he grabbed my hand. I didn't say anything until we got to my house.

"Thanks for walking me home, Taylor," I said.

"No problem." He gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek and then I opened the door to my house and went in.

*Taylor's POV*

"Oh, Julia, Julia, Julia. How I love you. What's a guy to do when he loves two girls that are best friends?" I said outloud but in a whisper to myself. Then I headed to my house for the night.

*Jennifer's POV*

Ding-dong! It took awhile for somebody to answer the door at Julia's house. It was Julia.

"Oh, hi," she said.

"Hi Julia. You have a right to be mad at me, but I'm really sorry for hitting you in the eye. I go off like that sometimes when I'm really angry," I tried to explain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Julia's POV*

Should I take her apology? Should I trust her? "Yeah, you're forgiven, Jen. I'm sorry too. If you want to be friends with Taylor then you can."

"Friends? No, I'm going to go out with Taylor, whether you like it or not!!" screamed Jen, right in my face.

"What?" Why did she just yell that? I thought.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Jennifer's POV*

"GOOD-BYE!" I yelled in her face and stormed off.

I'm going to get Taylor away from Julia no matter what it takes!!! She doesn't deserve him! He deserves me... I deserve him!
