A/N: This may get a bit confusing but just bear with me. The beginning is all the way from the night of the party. It's the car ride home with Jace.}

Rose POV

        The car ride was beyond awkward. I wanted to ask a Jace so many questions, but I was still angry at him. He was a part of all of this. I mentally debated with myself for a while before finally coming to a decision.

        "Can you explain this little plan of yours in more detail please?" I asked through clenched teeth.

        Jace sighed, as if he expected me to ask him that eventually. "You have to promise to hold all your anger until I'm finished."

        "Pinky Promise."

        "Okay," He began. "I guess this whole idea came to her after she saw you in the hallway with Vincent. I guess you kind of pissed her off."

        I rolled my eyes remembering that day very clearly.

        "She wanted to get you away from Vincent. She said she saw some sort of connection between the two of you. Something Vincent didn't usually have with other girls. She knew she was going to have to play dirty. She had someone who works for her mom do a background check on you. She found out what school you used to go to and she looked up information about that. She stalked your Facebook and the Facebook of all your friends and everything. Somehow she managed to stumble across a picture of us. "

        Damn me for never taking that picture down. It was one of my favorites. The picture of Jace and I with his hand on my baby bump. But I have that picture set up so only I could see it. Sneaky Bitch! She must've hacked my Facebook. Oh, there was going to be hell to pay...

        "Well, she eventually approached me and came up with this plan to get you and Vincent to break up. She figured if she could get Vincent to sleep with her and you to find out, then you would want to break up with him. That's where I'd swoop in and be your knight in shining armor. It took me a while to realize that's not what I wanted. I din't want to be a rebound. Especially not to Vincent. He's supposed to be my best friend. How could I betray him like that? I felt horrible every time I was with Jessica or when I thought about what I'd be doing to Vincent; to you; to both of you! I never wanted to hurt anyone. I just wanted to be with you."

        I Sighed as I fought back the new set of tears that began to rush in. I had to fight them this time and keep my composure. "Well, her plan worked perfectly. I obviously underestimated Vincent's feelings for me. I never thought they were that strong to begin with, but the fact that he couldn't even say no to Jessica." All I could do was shake my head. It was unfathomable. How could he do something like this? He didn't even think about how I would feel.

        "No, I don't think Vincent had much of a choice."

        "Jace, what are you talking about? I watched them the whole time. There was no sign of struggle or anything."

        "No Jessica had to do something to lead him to have sex with her. Vincent may have dumped girls like nothing, but he never cheated on any of them. Mind you he never really dated any of them long enough to really cheat anyway. But that's beside the point. Despite popular belief, Vincent has morals. He would never cheat on his girlfriend."

        "Then why the hell was he doing that with her." I'd let my anger get the best of me by this point. Thinking about all this shit with Vincent was really pissing me off.

        "I think she drugged him." Jace said pointedly.

        "What?"

        "It's a logical explanation isn't it? If she drugged him, then he wasn't in his right state of mind. He had no control over his actions. He probably didn't even know where or who he was. "

        Jace was right. Or at least I wanted to believe he was. I'd just talk to Vincent later and straighten all this mess out. That is if I can keep from chopping his balls off out of anger.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        I walked into Jessica's house with butterflies in the pit of my stomach. Scratch that. They were more like wasps because the last thing they did was feel good. I was so nervous. How was I supposed to confront Vincent? Was I supposed to just barge into her room and demand an explanation and then beat the shit out of Jessica?

        As I got closer to her bedroom, I noticed the sound of muffled voices.

        "You drugged me?" I heard Vincent roar, though he sounded more astonished than anything else.

        So Jace's assumptions were right. I'd need to thank him later, though I was still mad at him. I continued to listen to their conversation. I was a good distance away from the door so I knew they couldn't see me. Hell, I could barely see them.

        Jessica snorted and probably waved her little hand as she spoke. "Oh whatever. That was just to get you to loosen up a bit. Trust me you had just as much fun as I did."

        Anger rose in me and I wanted so badly to go in there and knock her head off her shoulder.

        "What did we do?" Vincent asked.

        She didn't answer.

        "Answer me!"

        "Alright, Alright." Jessica started "You want to know what happened? Last night we fhad sex. No Jace, no Rose. Just Vincent and Jessica; just like in the old days.One amazing night of pleasure."

        I heard Jessica mumble something before Vincent's angry voice boomed through my ears again. "Forget it! I don't even want it. Keep it as a memoir because this is the last thing you'll ever get from me. I should've cut you out of my life a long time ago. I'm done with you, now if you don't excuse me I'm going to go find my girlfriend."

        My heart would have exploded with joy at his last statement if it wasn't for the fact that noticed Vincent about to storm out of the room. I quickly slipped down the stairs and headed to the front door. Before my hand could twist the door knob, Jessica's Icy voice stopped me.

        "It's no point. She's probably cuddled up with Jace somewhere."

        "What?" Vincent responded.

        "They used to Date you know. Tragic story actually. Rose got pregnant and lost the baby, then blamed it on Jace. Sad? I know. Luckily, Jace still has for feelings for Rose, and let's face it, girls have this weakness for the guy that holds their first time. Rose and Jace are meant for each other. It's fate Vincent. She's not like other girls. You won't be able to win her over like you do everyone else. Give up."

        I couldn't even listen anymore. I silently crept out the house and headed towards my car as the tears began to prickle at my eyes. No. I wasn't going to cry. I took a few deep breaths before sticking the key in the ignition and letting the engine rev to life.

        "Rose!" Vincent called out to me as he stepped out of Jessica's front door.

        He was shirtless and barefoot and it really made me hurt. A wave of pain flashed through me before I turned and started backing up.

        "Wait!" he called again. He stood in front of the car with both hands on the hood stopping me from moving. Damn did I want to run him over?

        I clenched my teeth together and glared at him. "Move out of the way Vincent."

        "Please Rose, just give me a minute to explain." He begged.

        "There's nothing to explain, Jace told me everything. I know that you were drugged and that what happened last night wasn't your fault."

        "Then why are you angry?"

        Here come the water works again. "Because that doesn't change the fact that it happened. It doesn't change the way I feel."

        Vincent didn't say anything. He knew there was no need to keep me here any longer. He took his hands off my car and moved out the way so I could drive home. I don't know when I'll feel better about all of this, but right now, I feel so weak and vulnerable.

        Somebody please save me...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        I hadn't talked to Vincent in a week. Not since he tried to stop me from leaving Jessica's house. I guess it was kind of my fault. He was giving me the space he thought I needed. I should've been appreciative, but I wasn't in the slightest. I was upset and afraid.

        The whole thing with Vincent and Jessica didn't even bother me anymore. Okay, well it bothered me a little, but that wasn't what was stopping me from reconciling with Vincent. I was afraid of how he was going to respond to what Jessica told him about Jace and me. What if he was disgusted and didn't want to be with me? So technically, we're not together because it was all just a game, but you get the point.

        I didn't want to be rejected. I couldn't handle it. Especially coming from Vincent. I was becoming my own worst enemy at the moment. Every time I got in my car to drive to his house and talk to him, I chickened out before I even started the car once.

        School was a no go, because he ignored me in all of my classes. I understand that he wanted to give me some space, but the distance has become to much for me. I miss his overwhelming presence. I was so used to being around him all the time, it just became a second nature to me. Without him I feel like an important piece of my identity is missing. I feel like Squidward without his shirt or Brian from Family Guy without his collar. It just wasn't right.

        There was a light tap at my door before my mom pushed the door open cautiously.

        "Come in." I groaned sitting up and pressing my back against the head board and bringing my

        "Sweetie, you have some company. Should I let him in or..?"

        My eyes went wide and I jumped out of the bed. Vincent had finally come to talk to me! I bolted past my mom and ran towards the door a quickly as possible. When I finally opened the door, I wasn't disappointed to see the face standing before me, I was more so surprised.

        "Adam?"

        "Surprise, surprise." he said with a cheeky grin.

        "What are you doing here?"

        "I was sent here to fetch you. Come on. I have something I think you're going to want to see."

        Adam grabbed my arm and didn't even give me a chance to grab my shoes. I was still in my pink bunny slippers.

        "Where are we going?"

        "You'll see." His smile was even wider now.

        He led me to his car and kept that that Cheshire grin on his face the entire car ride.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        "The Staples Center?" I asked as we stopped in the parking lot of the huge arena.

        "Yup! The Lakers are playing."

        "But I hate basketball," I complained.

        "Don't be such a whiny brat. You needed to get out of the house. I was just doing my job. As a friend I'm supposed to help you cheer up, right? Well I'm doing it in the best way I know how. Trust me, this game is worth your wild."

        I sighed heavily, but followed him inside. How the hell was a stupid basketball game supposed to make me feel any better. Adam led us inside and gave the ticket man out ticket. The Arena was packed, and I was amazed by how good the seats he got were. We were on the very first row.

        The Lakers were playing against the Cavaliers. According to Adam it was a really intense game. Whoever won this got to go to some playoff thingie. I don't really know or care. I was to bored to pay attention to him.

        When half-time started I was really relieved. That meant I was halfway through my trip to hell. Suddenly all the lights went off. There were a bunch of worried mumbles, but all was quiet when a spotlight appeared in the middle of the court. No way. It couldn't be.

        "Hello," He started. "Um, Hi. My name is Vincent. Vincent LeClaire. For the last month and a half I've been dating the most spectacular girl in the world."

        The whole crowd erupted in a wave of Ah's, but I just continued to listen, not wanting to miss a singe syllable that left his mouth.

        "Well I guess it wasn't actually dating, considering it was just a bet to see who could fall in love with who first. Crazy? I know. Honestly, I thought the idea was stupid initially, but it wasn't just about victory to her. I think it was about proving a point." He glanced around the whole arena before returning to his speech.

        "My whole life, I've treated girls like dirt. I never cared about their feelings, and I would always break up with them after telling them how special they were to me the night before. I think this girl knew this, and knew something had to be done. She was right."

        A spotlight landed on me and Vincent's eyes locked with mine. "Rose I want to thank you. You made me see a side of life, that I never thought I could see. I am a terrible person, and I probably don't deserve you, but I really do care about you. Even though what we had was fake, It did't seem fake. Every kiss I gave you was genuine. all the memories that I have of you are something that I will keep forever even if you don't want to talk to me."

        He was getting closer with each word until he was only a short distance from me. "I that I screwed up, but if you give me a chance, I promise I'll make it up to you everyday you let me. I lost that bet Rose. I'm in love with you."

        Tears poured down my face, but for the first time in years they weren't tears of sadness or pain. They were tears of joy. Vincent didn't forget about me. And he did love me.

        "What are you waiting for?" The lady beside me asked. "Girl you better go get your man!"

        I didn't need to be held twice. I jumped into Vincent's arms and promptly pushed my lips against his.

        The crowd erupted in roars and I didn't even care. All I could think about was Vincent and me. At that moment, it felt like we were invincible. We'd always rise to the occasion and no force, not even Jessica, could make us feel any less.
