"george!" i whispered.

"yea?" george said.

"can you pretend we go out? just for one night. to make john jealous" i asked.

"yeah, i mean i guess" george shrugged.

"thanks! i love you" i said, peppering his face with kisses.

george laughed.

johns house.

"you look lovely" paul smiled.

"thanks, you look nice too" i replied.

"rory i need to kiss you!" george whispered into my ear.

"uh- okay" i said.

george kissed me.

his lips stayed on mine for a second before moving and grabbing attention from people around us.

i kept my hands on his neck while his stayed in my hair.

when we parted i turned to see john and cynthia's faces red and mouths dropped.

"you two are to- together?" john asked.

"yeah, she's all mine. beautiful one she is, don't ya think?" george smiled, moving his arm around me.

john hesitated before nodding.

"fuck you! i should've known when you made a move with me while going out with her that you'd do it to me also!" cynthia yelled at john.

"i just agreed that she was beautiful! i didn't shag her!" john yelled in return.

"that's just as bad! your job is to make me feel like the only beautiful girl in your life!" she yelled before running away.

"so i'm working a job now?!" john shouted, before chasing after her.

george chuckled beside me.

"hey!" i giggled while smacking his chest.

"i wasn't lying by the way" george smiled.

"about what?" i asked, furrowing my eyebrows.

"you being beautiful, because you are rory, you are beautiful" he whispered.

i smiled.

"and you're so handsome george. i mean i have no idea how all the girls don't jump on you!" i laughed.

george smiled and with that we parted ways.

"you and your little boyfriend have ruined everything for me and cyn!" john whispered.

"that was on you, not me and george" i said.

tears began to well up in my eyes, did i really cause that? was it all my fault? was i a terrible person?

i ran toward the stairs away from everyone else at the party and began to sob.

i felt an arm snake around me and i turned to see george.

"you're always there when i'm hurt" i whispered.

"what're you playing in your earphones?" he asked.

i showed him my phone.

"no surprises by radiohead! who hurt you and made you no surprises sad?" george yelled.

"it's john" i said.

george tutted

"well, why're you sitting on the steps? who hurt you?" i asked.

"jane" he looked down shamefully.

"you know she's no good for you" i said.

"and you know john's no good for you"

"yeah, whatever" i chuckled.

"here we go again" george rolled his eyes.

"what?" i asked.

"we always end up here, hurt by other people. we've only got eachother, you and me" george sniffled.

"yeah i guess we have only got eachother" i smiled.

"you know that list you saw on the bus?" george started.

"yea.." i said.

"i think i figured it out" george nodded.

"figured what out?" i asked.

"rory, i- i am that boy" he said.

"i don't understand" i admitted.

"i think you're the most-"

just then the beautiful melody and bass line of the stone roses hit i wanna be adored rang through our ears from the speakers in the living room.

"it's true y'know" i said, dully.

"what?" george asked, now it was his turn to be confused.

"i just wanna be adored" i said.

"rory" george whispered, lifting my chin.

"i adore you" he whispered before kissing me.

the kiss was full of love and passion.
the sweet taste of george's lips on mine, i was in a trance, maybe i just liked the idea of falling for john..maybe just maybe all along, this whole time it was george, no. not 'maybe'
it was always george.
