I was having a peaceful, dreamless, sleep but sprang straight up when the screaming started. I was so tired, my eyes barely opened.

"What are you doing in her bed? What are you doing in bed with him?! What the fuck, bro, that's my little sister?! Dammit, Avery, that's my best friend!" Alex ran to the side of my bed, pulling at his hair.

I looked down at Jack who was still sleeping, even through all the yelling.

Alex didn't like that. He snatched the pillow from under Jack's head then started to swat at him. "Wake the fuck up!"

Jack stirred, his arm tightening around my waist. Slowly his eyes opened. He saw me first and smiled, then he saw Alex and he had to do a double take before realizing what was happening.

"Alex! I...she...we..."

Alex started nodding his head profusely. "Yeah, mhm, go ahead. Try to explain. Please, explain to me why the hell you're in my sister's bed!"

I sat up on my knees. "Alex, you're over reacting."

Alex pointed his finger at me. "You shut the fuck up. You're not exactly innocent, Jack's my best friend. What, did you seduce him like a little harlot?!"

My eyes went wide. "I am not a harlot!"

Jack scratched at the back of his head. "That's so not the case, man." He stared at the wall for a second then looked back at Alex. "Did you just say harlot?"

Alex glared at him. "Gotta problem?"

"Who the fuck uses that word anymore?"

He looked like he wanted to say something, he would open his mouth and point at Jack, but he just settled for punching him in the arm and storming out of the room.

Jack clutched his arm, closed his eyes, and fell back on my pillow. "Holy fuck, that kid has a swing."

I leaned on the pillow. "I'm sorry about all this Jacky...you were just trying to comfort me and Alex punched you."

Jack opened his eyes, "Hey, it's okay. If I walked into my little sister's room and saw Alex sleeping in her bed with his arms around her, I wouldn't wait for explanations either."

"Does your arm hurt a lot?"

"It's not too bad."

Then it was silent. Neither of us said a word. It was slightly awkward.

"So.." That made it even more awkward.

Jack laughed. "So?"

I groaned and lay down next to him. "Jacky?"

"Yes?"

"Who were you talking about last night.." My fingers fiddled with my comforter, "When you said that someone is in love with me?"

"That's a secret."

"Why can't you tell me?"

"I promised I wouldn't."

I crossed my arms. "Did you pinky promise? It's not that legit of a promise unless you promise with your pinky!"

Again, he laughed. "Yes, it was a pinky promise."

"Well that's stupid."

Jack put his hand on top of mine. "You'll find out sooner or later."

"Well it better be sooner."

Jack rolled his eyes just as the door opened.

"Hot damn! I couldn't believe it when he said it, but it's right in front of my own eyes now! Little Avery in the sack with Jack!"

Rian walked in with a silly smile on his face and a morose looking Zack following him.

Jack immediately sat up. "Shut up, Rian."

Rian sat on the foot of the bed while Zach lingered by the doorway.

"Now, now, Jack. No need to be so hostile. You just spent the night with Alex's little sis, you should be happy as a clam!"

"Fuck you." Jack glared.

I just sat back and laughed. I looked back at Zack so we could both laugh at their childish banter, but he had his arms crossed. I stopped laughing.

"What crawled up your butt and died?"

Zack glared at me, the first time he's ever glared at me, then left the room.

My throat felt clogged. "What's up with him?"

Jack stood up. "He's just going through stuff..I better go talk to him." He leaned down and kissed my forehead. "See ya later Ave."

I watched Jack leave in pursuit of Zack. I truly do not understand boys. I don't think I ever will.

"I hate boys." I groaned and laid back.

"We hate you too sweetie."

"Aren't you supposed to say something nice and make me feel better?"

"Am I?" Rian shook his head, "Nah, I like this better. But anyways, what were you and Jack really doing?"

"I was upset!" I practically screamed in his face. "Can a girl not be consoled by a boy without everyone jumping to conclusions?!"

"Sure they can." Rian stood up. "Just not when people find them sleeping in bed together."

And then I was left alone in my room.

I walked into the kitchen to find Alex sitting on the counter, Lisa leaning on his legs and rubbing his thighs with her slimy hands.

Mental note: find a noose to hang myself with.

"Good morning Avery. You look tired, have a hard night?" Lisa gave a little giggle.

I started at her. Did she just over exaggerate the word hard to make a dirty joke? Fucking whore.

"Oh, Lisa. You are just so funny." I grabbed a banana.

"I know right."

"What about you?" I looked straight at her. "You choke on any balls last night? I know you have a problem, what with having a really bad gag reflex. That must suck more than you do."

She just glared, and I knew I was right.

"Don't you have friends to bother?" Alex mumbled as he played with Lisa's hair.

I shook my head. "No, I'd rather just fuck yours." I figured, if everyone was gonna make a joke of it, I might as well make one too.

And the face Alex made was priceless.

I went back to my room and because I didn't feel the need to be around the it couple anymore. I pulled out my phone and hit 2.

"Pick up bitch.." I murmured as I started to peel my banana.

"So, would you like to tell me why you slept with Jack last night?"

I rolled my eyes. "I don't even get a fucking hi you bitch?"

"Hi Avery," Gretel's eye roll was felt through the phone. "Now, tell me why you slept with Jack?"

"Holy fuck, this rumor is spreading faster than Lisa's legs." I sat down one my bed. "Now, Gretel. Have I ever shown any interest in Jack?"

"No.."

"Then why would I sleep with him?" Mental note numero dos: Kill Alex and all his friends for having big mouths.

"Cause you're a loving person?"

"Not that loving." I threw away my banana peel. "Anyway. Totally not why I called. Call Griffin, I wanna get out of this house."

"Mall?"

"Let's do it. Meet you guys there in thirty minutes?"

"If we have to wait longer, we're going to Pac Sun without you."

"Fuck you." I hung up and started going through my clothes in my closet. It didn't take long to pick out my outfit.

As I was leaving the house, the sickly two stopped me.

"Where do you think you're going?" Alex snapped.

"Out." I rolled my eyes. "You think you'd be grateful. Now you guys can fuck as loud as you want."

"Go to hell."

A chill went through my body as he glared at me. "Already there, big brother."

"By the way," Lisa giggled her stupid giggle. "Those suspenders look stupid."

I put my hand on my chest. "Thank you so much for telling me. Now let's see how many fucks I give." I looked around for a second. "I guess not as much as you."

I left the house and as soon as the door shut I let out air I didn't know I was holding in. Looks like it's gonna be a long day.

Posting in the middle of AP English because I'm a rebel like that.
Anyways, loved your guys' comments from the last update.
Leave me more! xx

Ps. I blame the auto correct on my iPhone and my brain cells dying in AP English for not catching the bloop with Zack's name**
