"I KNOW!!!" I shouted on the phone, I hadn't been able to call Danny in a long time and now he refused to talk to me. When he softened up enough he said he would come and see me, he was angry and hurt I could make that out and besides I had aleeady decided what was to be done.

When I see, I needed to end this. The relationship couldn't go on not while Stephen loved me and I him.

The past few months had gone by very quickly. Stephen had kissed me, hugged me and even promised to be with me for eternity if only I left Daniel like he had left Riana for me.

It had to be done and done today Danny had to go. I saw the pain Stephen went through when I talked about Daniel. He had even tried talking to Stephen! Can you imagine that?

Why would he do so? What right had he?
So it was decided today after school, we would see each other. Maybe for the last time I thought but a familiar pain took over I still loved him. I really really did. Then what was I doing? Oh well. What has to be done has to be done.

School went by in a rush, I wasn't even paying attention to the classes. As the time for my departure from the school galloped closer. I felt butterflies in my stomach.

The familiar twitching of the heart and a beautiful nervousness.

I saw him waiting by the tarmac outside our school. He was wearing a green striped shirt and a cargo looking like a God as usual.

He saw me and waved whilst I waved back. I walked to him and he held my hands for a few seconds.

Escorting me to a café we sat down beside each other. Danniel looked at me for sometime before whispering three words as if it hurt to say them," I love you "

I couldn't return his gaze. I just couldn't and shame took hold of me. Hadn't I promised this man my love? Hadn't this very man earned it?

Stephen was just a phase, I couldn't let him go now but he'll soon pass by. I looked at Danny. My Danny.

Tears pooled his eye's. I had NEVER heard Danniel cry. NEVER. My baby was strong but the poor thing hadn't ever fallen in love before...before me.
I am ruthless. " Oh baby, babay don't cry!" I wiped his tears, " please don't cry"
He took my hand and kissed it. " I love you too " I gasped and told him. He looked at me and I was stupid to have not been able to see the emotion there. The turmoil I had put him through but I didn't see it.

" You know what you're doing right love?" he asked me. " Are YOU okay "

I was stunned. I didn't know how to answer such a question. Was I okay?
No I wasn't.

I was heartbroken as well. Sad so sad all the time. Momentary joys were nothing. Stephen teased me and didn't even recognise me when he was with my father. It hurt me so very badly, then he had moodswings where he kissed me and didn't talk to me for three days. On the fourth day again he held my hand and motioned that he loved me.

Daniel understood my confusion. He put an arm around me, " Love. You may or may not know what you're doing but I'm here okay? " he reassured me, it sounded like begging, " I'm here and." he paused to breath, " and whatever happens I'll be there. If you tell me you love him I'll make sure that bastard loves you too "

" Don't call him a bastard " I protested even though it wasn't really fair. I had allowed Stephen to call Daniel one once. " Very well " Daniel said before getting up.

" We'll talk later " He didn't wait for an answer, hugged me once. A tight bear hug that made me calm and want to go to sleep. Then left like the wind. Without any trace.

What was I doing? I thought before heading towards home.

" Hello" I answered to me dad's call.

" Shell's come to the office once will you? I'll leave for home with you then "

" Sure dad"
My heart gave a jolt of excitement. Office meant Stephen and Gunther and Amanda! Yippeee!

Gunther however for many months had started to avoid me. Whenever I came near him he left the room. It hurt me profusely and I had even asked Stephen what it was that I had done but Stephen said that Gunther was only being foolish.
Oh well! Stephen talked to me now.
___________

I went into the office but there was no Stephen. " He's gone for some work. Will come back soon enough " Amanda laughed at my impatience to see my semi - boyfriend.

Her phone was lying near by and I started fiddling with it. She was once again focused on her work. I went to her messages, snooping isn't good I know.

Someone named S. A. sent her a message saying, " Dear love. I love thee true. Every morning I wake thinking about you " I didn't know she had a boyfriend.

" So you have a boyfriend do you? " I asked her very sweetly.

"N-o" shw turned her head to see me and saw her phone in my hand. Shocked she snatched the phone from my hand. Why would she do that?

"Amanda it's okay" tell me.

" Well I don't have a boyfriend happy?" she snared. I was a bit taken aback but fear started to crawl inside me.

I left the room to ponder about several things. 1. Why was she suddenly such a bitch?
My dad sent for her, I heard him and as soon as he left I went to her room.

Her phone was on the table without a password.

I went to contacts and searched S.A.

It was Stephen's number.

Seriously? My heart went down. What?? How was it even possible?
Amanda didn't know everything but she knew of my attraction towards him and he knew of his love for me. I'll have a word with him later maybe.

As soon as the worls froze. Stephen came up the stairs, he saw a phone in my hand and left the room. I went back to my dad's room not really willing to talk to Stephen.

Somehow he understood my glum mood and called me into his room. " You know, what you're doing is not right" he said.

" I'm sorry " I whispered even though I didn't know what to think.

" Dating two people isn't done. Choose "

I didn't say a word.

Stephen knew about Danniel, he always did. He even promised to be there for me when Danniel wasn't.

Stephen nodded and left his office room. Making me wait alone in the tiny space.

My mood as it was, was glum that day.

It was even gloomier the next when I heard Stephen had taken leave.

The next week was worse. Stephen had asked for his resignation.

I was heartbroken, I couldn't talk. I didn't even step into the office and my parents as supporting as they were didn't talk to me either. Taking matters into my own hands I sent hime e-mails. Three of them.

No response. One day however I saw this e-mail.

Shells. However I want to talk I'll have to keep it for another day, This is not the time. Study now. There's a lot of life ahead of you, so much more to live. Do what you have to and do it well. No one's ever going to look at me the way you do. No one's going to love me the way you did. You'll soon forget me but you'll always be remembered by this person. Count on me always

I read and re-read the emails thrice. Not one word of his love for me isn't that funny?

Imagine my surprise when the very next day I saw a message on my dad's phone which said,

Sir I have tried but your daughter keeps calling me and e-mailing me. Please do make her stop as I feel her crush on me still persists.
Forever grateful, Stephen.

I didn't know what to do! I called Daniel and asked him to delete all my conversations with everybody. Danniel did so, if it hurt while reading my messages he didn't mention it.

It's a good thing he left.. Now I could concentrate on Danny only! My heart fluttered and I felt dizzy. Why would he do this though?
__________

One month after this came a phone call. The details were very simple. Amanda had run away with Stephen.

Simple.

Then why did it hurt so much?
