“Audrey?”

“Hey, let me let you go, Levi is at the window,” she said before hanging up the phone while Piper screamed something along the lines of ‘Don’t open that f**king window.’ But Audrey did and said, “Hey.”

“What the hell, I’ve been waiting for almost twenty minutes.”

“I was on the phone,” Audrey said simply.

“Obviously, come on, let’s get out of here. We’ll go back to my house.”

He went to open her door but it was locked, and for some reason, she knew not to unlock it.

“No, I don’t have time for that. What did you want to talk about?”

Levi let out a frustrated breath before leaning against the car door. Putting a smirk on his face, he said, “You look good, cupcake, you alright?”

Audrey nodded, “Just fine.”

“Good,” he said nodding, “so do you miss me?”

Audrey shrugged her shoulders, “Sometimes.”

“Well I miss you, why don’t we just by pass all this talk shit and get to what we both want.”

“I don’t want to bypass anything. I told you my terms, Levi. I don’t want to be just your f**k buddy.”

“Audrey, come on, this is stupid. Why are you doing this? I thought--”

“I thought you said you wanted to talk about forever?”

Levi laughed, “No that was my way of getting you here. Nothing’s changed. I just want you, bad.”

“For f**k sakes,” she muttered, reaching to start her car.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m leaving,” she said through her teeth, “You turn me into a crazy person, Levi, and I’m f**king tired of it.”

“Oh come on, why are you being like this. We both know that isn’t true, that you want me.”

“You’re delusional. Move away from my car, please.”

“No, get out, let me talk to you,” he demanded, moving his arm into the car to hold on to her steering wheel.

“No Levi, get your hand off my steering wheel, and leave me be. Don’t bother me anymore.”

“Why? It’s not like anyone else will ever want you? I’m the only one who wants to deal with your whinny bitch ass self,” he sneered, still holding onto her wheel. For a split second Audrey was a tad bit scared but that was gone and anger replaced it.

“And you wonder why I don’t want to be with you! You’re an ass**le! Get the hell out of my car,” she said smacking his hand away. His eyes went wide and he let go of her wheel as he took a step back, “I don’t even know what I was thinking coming here!”

“You care about me! You love me!” he yelled.

“No, I’m done,” she yelled back and then she blurted out, “I’m seeing someone!”

Levi’s laugh sent chills down her spine. He then leaned in close, his face only inches from hers causing her to back into the headrest. He then flashed her a devilish grin before he whispered, “Your heart belongs to me and always will. No one will ever be what I am to you, you may think I’m an ass**le and all that, but you know I am good to you. I took care of you in bed. I was there when you needed me. I don’t know what your problem is, but get the f**k over it. I’m not going anywhere and neither are you. No one and I mean no one will ever want you, so why even try?”

“That’s not true,” Audrey whispered as Levi smirked at her, his eyes dark with anger.

“This guy only wants your hot pu**y, that’s it. I know you, you probably slept with him within the first week, and now he is hooked. He won’t treat you right and he won’t be there for you. He’ll end up hurting you after he is done f**king you. When he gets to know you, the whiny, needy, bitchy Audrey, the one who wants the house, the kids, and white picket fence, he’ll run. You’re not worth anyone’s time, Audrey.”

Audrey shook her head as tears gathered in her eyes, “But you want me, what makes you any different from all these guys, Levi?”

“Because I’m just as f**ked up as you. We are good together, Cupcake, so stop fighting this shit,” he said softly, his eyes boring in hers. For a moment she believed that this was the Levi she loved, but something wasn’t right. She knew this was wrong, her heart didn’t want him, because if it did, she wouldn’t be thinking about what Tate would think about her being there with him.

Shaking her head, Audrey said, “I’m sorry, Levi, I deserve better. I deserve the husband, the white picket fence, and maybe,” she swallowed passed the lump in her throat, “maybe children, but what I don’t deserve is this shit from you. I will always love you, but it isn’t the love I thought it was.”

Levi shook his head, “That’s bullshit.”

“I care about you, and know that I will always be here for you, but not in a romantic way anymore, but as friends.”

Levi’s face was tight with anger before he slammed his fist into the side of her car. Pinning her with a look of death, he sneered, “Fuck you, and your ‘friend shit’.”

And with that, he was gone.

Audrey watched as he stomped angrily to his car, and even watched as he pulled away. When she started crying it wasn’t because she had officially ended things with Levi, it was because everything he said could very well be true.

Tate sat on his porch with water in his hand and his phone in the other. He thought it would be a little weird to text and ask Audrey were she was so he decided to stalk her Facebook. There wasn’t anything on there and he was confused. He thought she would have been home, getting ready for their date, but she wasn’t.
