She stared at him, but he continued to ignore her. And now she realized how it felt, how it felt to be ignored. And he was her best friend. She put her hand on his shoulder and he flinched away. Now she really regretted telling him her feelings for Josh.
Finally Aaron got up, stepped towards the door and walked out. And Eliza was alone. Because the boy she thought she cared about, was in love with another.

Love, what a strange word to say. But as Shea contemplated it over she began to see the beauty it possessed. The likeness that it contributed to every one's daily life, no matter how horrible they seemed. But what puzzled her most was how that word escaped out of Conner's mouth. And that word was directed towards her.

The bottle lay on the dresser, staring at the weak hazy face that was suposed to be a man, the pupils almost filling the eyes completely, causing the bottle to see into blackness.
The man picked up the bottle again and pushed it to his mouth to seize the temporary greatness of escaping from the world, if not only for a moment. When he let the bottle down, the bottle could see an emptiness in the man's eyes. Like he didn't care what happened to him next.
The man pulled himself to his feet, carying the bottle with him. He walked a few steps, stumbled, and dropped the bottle. The bottle felt it's self crash into hundreds of peices. And with one of it's big, unbroken peices, it saw the drunken man fall onto his bed and cry. The crying lasted only a few minutes, then was broken by sleep. But the bottle felt nothing for the man. No pity, no sadness. For it was just a bottle, and nothing more. And as night turned into day, and day to night, the peices were finally swept up and thrown in the trash. Because it was just a bottle, and nothing more.

Olivia turned to Hunter and said, "You mean you love me?"
Hunter smiled and said, "Yes, yes I love you!"
Olivia's face got hot as she began to smile saying, "I love you too." And that was all Hunter needed to know that he could kiss her. He walked the two steps, closed the gap between them and kissed her, enveloping his arms around her. And she kissed him back with the wanting of nothing else but him. And with that kiss, they both knew that one was crazy for the other.
