"Crystal, this is where you come in," Kate said.
Neil stopped and then rested his head on her throbbing heart. with a sigh he let her go. the moment had come...so soon.

"Hey whats up?" Will asked noting her litle stutter. he placed a hand on her shoulder and looked at her trying to look concerned instead of smug
 
Crystal looked a Neil for a moment then let go and walked out onto the stage.

Her heart was still going and her breath was still gasping but she had to do this.

She took her copy and sttod over next to Cara.
 
Will nodded still smiling.

Kate walked up to Crystal, "ok so you and Cara are best frineds and you know that she is in love with Will," she said pointing at teh page they were on, "this is the part of the play that is the turning point. you know that Liam and Anna are in love despitt eh fact that Will and Anna are engaged," she cept on explaining and showing general positioning.

Niel watched Crystal walk out on stage and tried to catch his breath. it couldn't be over...but it was...he had to accept that.
 
Rehearsal seemed to drag on for ages. Neil was finally called out on stage and walked through his parts with Crystal. After upward of three hours it was over.

“Good everyone and I will see you all tomorrow same time same place,” Kate said.

Neil nearly jumped off the stage and walked to get his bag. He needed to get out of there before he did something stupid. Sure she said she like him…but like and, “please be my boyfriend” were to totally separate things.
 
Crystal saw Neil nearly run off stage she wondered if she'd done something wrong.

She dropped everything and ran to catch up.

She cought hold of his arm and swung him round.

"Neil," she said ,"Whats up?"
 
"What so your just gonna up an leave, without even a goodbye," she said after him.

She wasnt smiling, she felt like she was falling appart.

She had really believed Neil was different and now he was just gonna walk out like nothing had ever happened between them.

She felt one small tear roll down her cheek.
 
“Wait…what…no…” He shook he head and dropped his bag. This wasn’t what he had imagined at all. He grabbed her and pulled her into an embrace as tightly as he could. So she wasn’t going to leave? Or was he just going about it the wrong way? He was so confused
 
"Then what are you going to do Neil, your sending me mixed messages, I'm confuzed.

"I like you, i really like you, like making it official like you, but what do you want," she said pulling away.

If he didnt feel the same way then she'd go, she'd leave now and find someplace else she was happy to do that, well no it would break her heart once again but it would heal evantually.

She looked up into his eyes, it was as though she was looking through a film, she blinked and another tear rolled out.

She let it silently fall down her face looking up at him.
 
He lifted the tear off her face with his finger and just looked at her glossing eyes. he had hurt her already?
“I’m…I just…I didn’t want to jump to conclusions. I mean…I’m sorry. I like you too…like I said a lot…and…I’m just sorry.” Again he felt like the stupid school boy.
 
"Do you want a relastionship or not or was that just a quick thing," she asked.

Her face had gone from sad to hard.

She shead no more tears and she just looked at him with blank eyes.

She knew the answer would be "No" so this was her way of preparing herself, she would break down only when he was gone.
 
"Crystal I..." he took her face in his hands, "I didn't know if that is what you wanted so...I didn't want it to seem like I was forcing..." nothing was comming out the right way. he wished this was as easy as the play, sripted and written out so all he had to do was memorize the right words, "I want a relationship if that is what you want." he finally said. it sounded so...odd saying it.
 
"Really," she said she was so shocked, no guy had ever said yes to her before. She had usually just been laughed off and left to get on with life, never seeing the guy again but no, he had said yes... yes.
 
Neil just nodded, she seemed shocked but so was he. What was he thinking? He hardly knew her and she had a kid…two things he was told to avoid and two things he was diving head first into right now. Sam had brought them together…or that is how he saw it…so he was going to run with it, “Really.” he finally said
 
Crystal's face broke into a smile.

She was so happy, happier than she had ever been.

It didnt matter that she barely knew him it didnt matter that he was 2 years older than her nothing mattered anymore just them.

She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him.
 
Cara walked off the stage and put her jacket on and picked up her back pack. she shoved her script in her pocket and headed for the door.
 
Neil smiled and hugged her back. his family would have a thing or two to say about this but he would cross that bridge when he came to it

"Hey Cara!" Will called after her, "want to hang out or soemthing?"
