my mom goes to work in the evenings.”
“I’m sorry, Andrew.” I took his hand that was cleaning my knee. I stroked my thumb on the top of his hand.
“It’s okay.” He looks at me. He puts a big band-aid on my knee and unrolls my pant leg down. “All better now.”

Andrew drove me to my car which was parked in front of the café. As I got of the car, Andrew gave me my keys. I stood by the drivers side of my car, “Thank you, for caring for my knee.”
“No problem.” We stood there in an awkward silence. “I should probably go, so I’m not too late.” He walks away. As I was about to get into my car, Andrew grabbed my cheeks and kissed me on the lips. I wanted to push him off but I couldn’t. My knees were buckling and at the same time I felt like I was gonna fall. I finally pushed away from him. “Sorry.” He says looking down at the ground.
“It’s okay, I enjoyed it but I just don’t know if I’m ready to move on.”
“I understand. I’ll settle nothing more than friends from now on.” I hugged him with some compassion.
“Thank you.” I kissed him on the cheek.
“You’re welcome.” I let go of him and I got into my car and drove off.

I parked in the parking lot of the apartment complex and I took the key out of the ignition. I sat there thinking about Milo and how much pain he was probably going through right now. I could feel tears starting to form in my eyes and they fell down like a river on my face. I laid my forehead on the steering wheel and cried and cried and cried.

Later on, I was in my room and my cell rang. I looked at the caller ID and it was my cousin Cassandra. I answered, “Hey Cass’, haven’t talked to you in a while.” I wiped my tears away.
“I know, same here. Hey I was wondering what your were doing this weekend?” she asks me.
“Nothing, why?”
“Because, I was hoping you’d be able to come over to Florida and visit.”
“Yeah sure.”
“Cool, I already got you a plan ticket and emailed it to you. I can’t wait to see you. Love you. Talk to ya’ later.”
“Bye.” I went on my laptop and looked at my email. I printed out the ticket and started packing, but then I thought I should tell Milo so he won’t think I just left and abandoned him. Your's To Hold- Milo's POV

I was watching a movie on t.v. while there was a storm going on outside. It was pretty windy and rain was coming down hard. There was static coming from the t.v. and then the electricity goes out. “Damn it!” I yelled out. I walked to the fireplace and turned it on. I grabbed a jacket and walked out the front door to get some wood from the garage but guess who was standing in front of the house................... Quinn walks closer and then stops.
“I’m leaving tomorrow for Florida, going to visit Cassandra. But I wanted to make things right before I left.........” The winds was picking up.
“Come inside.” I said to her. She comes up to the porch and we both walked in the house. I took off my jacket, she was drenched in rain. “I’m all ears.” I said to her again.
“I’m sorry, for keeping Rachael’s secrets from you.”
“You should be! I mean if you cared so much why didn’t you say anything before?!” She just looks away from me.
“I didn’t want to see you get hurt.” I grabbed her cheeks and I looked at her.
“I would’ve got hurt either way.” I hugged her and kissed her on the cheek. I kissed her on the lips once, and then she pulls me back in. I place my hands on her waist and she wraps her arms around my neck. I push her against a wall and I kissed her neck.
She unbuttons my shirt and takes it off of me. Her hands slid up from my chest to behind my neck. She pulls me in for a kiss close as she rubs her wet blouse against my bare skin. She takes of her jacket and I slide my hand up her blouse tracing her bare skin with my hand. I lift her up and she wraps her legs around my waist and I carry her to the living room where the fireplace was still on. I lay her down on the ground gently and I leaned over her and kissed her again. She rolls me over and onto my back and she was over me on her knees. She takes off her blouse and I rolled her on her back. I kissed her again on the lips then I went to her neck then chest, stomach, and belly button. I sat up and Quinn sit on my legs and kisses me. She kisses my forehead and she wraps her arms around my neck. My head rested against her chest. I could hear her heartbeat. I wrapped my arms around her waist and I held onto her not wanting to let go of her. “I love you.” She whispers in my ear. I lay my head back and she kisses me again.


I kissed her a couple more times before she left for Florida. I held her in my arms, kissing her over and over again. I stopped kissing her and our foreheads touched. “I’ve gotta go. I love you.” she smiles at me. I smile back at her.
“I know, I love you too.” I released her from my arms and she kisses me one last time and then she walks away. As she walks up to the ticket person she looks back at me.
“Come to Florida!” she says to me.
“When?” I asked her.
“I don’t know surprise me!” She smiles and enters into the plane. I smile back, turn around in a circle trying to figure out were to go. When I decided were to go I thought I should just hop on a plane to Florida now. But I just walked out of the airport and walked to my car. Drove home, smiling and I couldn’t stop thinking that Quinn would really want me to come to Florida to see her. I felt like nothing bad happened between us and I didn’t want this happiness to go away anymore...............
