Hello, and welcome back to It's Complicated chapter two. I got some really encourageing comments so I decided to continue it. And yes, as you can probably tell, I finaly figured out how to make custom titles thanks to my friends on TS2N. So yeah I am very exited about that! I hope you guys enjoy this chapter! Tell me what you think afterward, I love to have your feedback.

My heart lurched, what hadn't he told me??

"Listen....Leah I....I never stopped liking you after we went our seperate ways. I have spent five years thinking about you, you never left my head, I stayed up late at night whispering your name, I need you Leah!" He looked at me and rubbed my arm.
Tears stung my eyes, no one had said something like that to me in a long time, I looked into his electric blue eyes and felt peaceful and happy with myself.
"But..." he said sadly "Leah.....I regret it now"
I looked at him shocked, I opened my mouth to speak, but I couldn't think of words to say, I just stared at him in disbelief.
"I regret it Leah, because in all that time that I went crazy thinking about you, I-I met someone else, and now......now I am living with her. Leah......I am engaged, I am so sorry" He bowed his head "I shouldn't have come, I just wanted to see you again, I love you Leah, I wish things were different"

Tears were now pouring down my face in rage, how dare he come here like this and seduct me just to leave me in the dark again. He got up and left the table. I had a very strong urge to get up and slap with with my pale shaking hands but I couldn't. I just sat there with my head in my hands sobbing. When the waitress came and asked me if I was ready to pay I glowered at her and gave her all the money in my wallet just to get her to shutup and leave me alone. I wish today had never happened, I thought darkly, if Adam hadn't come into my office this morning I wouldn't be upset like this! I was trying to calm myself down and tell myself that it was no big deal that Adam was seeing someone else, but it was, he had made me feel more alone than I ever had. I hated the feeling almost more than I hated Adam.

I thought about our love as teenagers. We were so carefree. I remember feeling safe and protected around Adam. He made me feel complete. He always took me to this resaraunt and then we went bowling. I remember dreading going back to my own house where my parents didn't want me. He was my life.

I remember having our very first kiss in this restaraunt. He looked into my eyes. I remember feeling warm and happy. Then he slowly pulled me towards him, into a tight embrace. We looked eachother in the eyes. He leaned in and his lips touched mine. They were softer than feathers, the feeling was so great that I stood there with my eyes closed, kissing Adam. It is the happiest I ever felt. How could I have forgotten???

I got up from my table, pushing these memories aside and walked home. Once I got there I flopped down on the couch. I couldn't let this ruin my life, I had been living in the dark up until tonight. Then, in the hour that me and Adam spent together he brought me back into the light again. And I liked being in the light. And I liked Adam, no, I loved Adam, but I hated him, I hated to love him really. Unfortunately it was like a burning passion in me that took over my whole body, I couldn't control it. It controlled me.

I walked into the kitchen, thinking about Adam. I opened the fridge and looked in. Damn, I thought, empty. I would try and remind myself to grab some groceries while I was out next.

I grabbed a make it and go sort of meal. That was very unlike me, usually I would've cooked up some extravagant dinner. I didn't even know how this make it and go meal got in my fridge. But I was too exhausted and angry to bother myself with a full meal tonight. So I popped it in the oven and sat down at the island.

As I sat there waiting for my make it and go meal, I began to think about his girlfriend, I wonder what she looks like, I thought to myself. She would have to be really pretty, Adam had high standards! She probably has a really nice house too. Tears began to well up in my eyes just thinking about this. I was going mad with jelously! Adam probably lives with some georgoues super model in a really big beach house or something! Infact, I didn't even know where Adam lived! This struck me as odd. He had never said if he lived here or in some other town. He had told me he always wanted to live in florida. Even though he had grown up here, in North Carolina.
The oven dinged, I was so preoccupied n my thoughts that I didn't hear it. I just sat there. A few minutes later I started to smell I foul burning smell. I lurched out of my thoughts and my head spun to look at the smoking stove. I jumped off my stool and ran over to it.

I opened the oven and smoke came billowing out right into my face. I coughed as the sooty air filled my nostrils and lungs and stung my eyes. I stood there coughing for a few minutes until I had finaly cleared enough of that smoke out of my throat to breathe properly. I opened my eyes. I looked at the stove first to make sure that it wasn't on fire. Good, it wasn't. Then I glanced inside it nervously. My make it and go meal was charred and sooty. I closed my eyes in frustration. Great, just my luck.

I picked it out of the oven and inspected it. No good, I sighed sadly and tossed it in the garbage. What was I going to do now. By now all the stores would be closed, so I couldn't go buy groceries, unless I wanted to spend the time making another make it and go meal I had nothing to eat. So I popped another one in the oven, not really having a choice either way, and waited.

The next one ended up burning too. I had drifted off into my own little world again and burned it. This time I didn't have a choice. So I ate it reluctantly, I mean how bad could it be. Bad, is the answer to that question, I sat there sourly eating crispy corn and charred spinach and pork.

The rest of the night passed by very slowly. I worked out to my tv. Something I had always enjoyed even as a teenager.

and had a shower. Washing away all that sweat and smoke. I noticed that ever since I had seen Adam earlier today I hadn't been as self concious. I mean I had still thought about it, but I wasn't paranoid. I rubbed the shampoo on my soft face, well, one thing had changed, I knew I was beautiful. Thank god for that.

Well, thats it for the second chapter! I know they are short, but this way I can get them out faster. The next one should be out soon, tell me what you think I would love to know. If you don't like it, please don't rate, I am not a big fan of downraters:)
Oh and you may be wondering who this is??? HAH! You'll have to wait till the next chapter to find out!:D
Thank you so much for reading.
