*Carry On*

**Kaylyn's POV**

After hearing the whole backstory of what Aubrey did to Brian, I can completely understand his reservation with jumping back into a relationship. She was materialistic, vain, selfish and took advantage of Brian's affections...I hope that bitch burns in hell for her evil ways.

I softly kiss his shoulder and whisper his name to explain that I will never take advantage of him, if he would be willing to give me a chance...give US a chance.

"Please don't pity me too..I get enough of that from Jimmy. I know I was an idiot and I refuse to make that mistake again. I'm never going to be I a relationship again...so if you're looking for a 'friend' I can handle that....but don't ask me to be..." he rambles off quickly before being interrupted by my cell phone ringing.

I can't help but feel disappointed that Brian isn't even willing to let me prove that we could be so perfect together, because that's what this feel like....Perfection!

I reach for it off my nightstand and sigh when I read the name on the caller ID, 'Jimmy Sullivan'....this should be interesting.

I slide the answer button and Jimmy immediately begins talking, "So was Brian hiding under the bed or in the closest?" he says with amusement evident in his voice. I bite my lower lips and he lets out a chuckle, "Oh don't think I'm as naive as Zee...after all you agreed with a statement that I knew I lied about" he laughs and I can't help but let a small chuckle escape my lips.

"He was in the closest" I say and Brian looks over at me with wide eyes. I bet he's freaking out thinking I just ratted him out to Zacky or Matt...yeah right, that would get us both fired. "Do you need to speak to him, Jimmy?" I ask and Brian noticeably relaxes back on the bed.

"Nah, but if you could ask him for his room key that would be great....I found myself a hot Vegas plaything" he exclaims and I can almost picture his excitement.

"Jimmy needs your room key" I whisper to Brian and he nods his head and slide out of bed to grab it out of his pants pocket.

I can't help but stare at his flawless naked form and my heart breaks slightly because I realize that he will never truly be mine.

I end the call and there is a soft knock on the door and Brian hands Jimmy the key before turning back to face me. I bite the inside of my cheek to prevent myself from frowning...I know if I show him that I'm disappointed in being JUST his friend...or friends with benefits, in our case...that he will run again.

Brian crawls back in beside me and I turn to face him. He looks nervous, "I was saying that I can't be-" he mumbles out before I silence him with a kiss.

I gently run my fingers across his well defined cheekbones, "Shh, I know what you were going to say and I-I understand" I say with a shaky voice then clear my throat, "I want to be here for you...even if it's just as a friend...I'm-I'm ok with that..." I lie and he pulls me closer to his chest.

"You're incredible...friend" he whispers as his eyes drift closed.

Hm, maybe he'll realize that I could be an incredible girlfriend, if I'm ever allowed out of the 'Friend Zone'

Merry Christmas! :)
