The next day I tried and tried to keep Mark and Jason from meeting up with each other. Everytime I tried, I failed, BIG time. It always turned into a heated argument over who was gonna have me and this and that. All i could do was keep trying.

"Jason, Listen to me!"

"What?"

"We never once had sex. If he told you we did, he was only hoping I would."

"I don't know what to believe."

"You're being SO stupid. You cannot believe everything he tells you. I have not once lied to you. If you love me, you'll believe what I'm telling you."

"Savannah, I'm sorry for doubting you. He just sounded so sure of himsefl when he said it."

"It's ok. I guess I kinda got what I deserve too."

"Savannah.."

"Jason, I should've told you we were sharing a bed and none of this would have happened."

"Yes it would. I still would have been angry at you."

"I know. I"m sorry."

"It's ok. I should have more trust in you."

He kissed me on the forehead and everything seemed to be getting better when Mark came down the hall.

"Stay back Savannah."

"Jason don't. There's already enough going on here without you fighting."

"Hey Savannah."

"Hey Mark. What do you want?"

"To apoligize. I was stupid last night. I'm sorry."

Jason and Mark shook hand and then looked at me. I knew what they were thinking. We were by the pool.

"Oh no you don't!"

Before I could get a step away Jason grabbed me threw me in the water. I didn't have on my bathing suit.

"Jason, you all are going to hell!"

"Yeah, but you're comming with me."

Mark had to leave so that left Jason and I all alone.

"Savannah, I love you."

"I love you too. Now let's get ready to go to bed."

Everybody was waiting on us in the room.

"Why are you wet?"

"Ask Jason ,Kenny. He knows."

"Man, you are stupid."

"Shut up Kenny."

"Ok Jason. I'm just stating a fact."

We all settled in our bed a couple of hours later and soon fell asleep.

"Good-night Savannah!"

"Good-night everyone."

Everything seemed to be getting better. Things could only get better right?? I only hope thing can get better.
