“I can’t believe you’re finally here!” I squealed as I got off of Aliyah.
“I know!” she mimicked my excitement for a moment before her face turned to hate, “I can’t fucking believe you!” she screeched as she pushed me. I stumbled back a little in confusion. As I looked into her eyes I saw a playfulness flash across them, but only for a moment, so I played along. “What the fuck did I do?” I yelled back and pushed her making her stumble as I did.
“You didn’t tell me that you got back in touch with them! And you let me look like fucking shit in front of them!!!” she swung a fist at me, so I ducked and all she hit was air.
“You would’ve done the same to me! So don’t make a big deal out of it!”
“Hey, E-” Jaime started talking so I cut him off, “Just stay out of this Jaime! It doesn’t concern you.”
“Yeah!” Aliyah butted in before grabbing a magazine off of the coffee table and throwing it at me, “And that’s for lying to me!”
I quickly picked up the magazine and tried straightening it out, but it was no use. I looked up at Aliyah who had a smile on her face, “What the fuck, Aly! Out of all the fucking magazines on my goddamn coffee table, you had to throw my favorite edition of AP!!! Are you fucking kidding me!” I tossed the magazine on the couch and started walking towards her, I know we were just playing around, but for one; that was my favorite edition because it had the boys on it and it mentioned me in the article. And two; we had to make this believable, like Jack and Alex said, if the kids don’t believe, lets make them believe.
Aliyah had pure fear across her face; I don’t think that she thinks this is a game anymore.
“I’m sorry, but I’m fucking pissed! You know how I felt about last time I saw them! I looked fucking ridiculous!” she tried hiding the fear in her eyes, and I couldn’t help but laugh a little bit. “I don’t fucking care! I wanted your first day here to be memorable! But ex-fucking-cuse me for trying to be an awesome friend!” I lunged at her and we both toppled to the floor.
“What the fuck!” she squealed as I pinned her down. I was sitting on her and had her arms pinned down. “Emily, what the fuck are you doing?”
I was smiling as I sat on her, “take back everything you said or I’m going to spit on you.” I laughed as she started squirming, “No! Never! You can’t take me alive!” she started laughing as she struggled.
“Okay, what ever you say!” I started making noises with the back of my throat so she started freaking out for real, “ Emily please don’t do this! Please I beg of you!”
“Apologize.” I let the spit start making its way past my lips, but it still hadn’t fallen.
“Okay! Okay! I’m sorry! I take back everything I said! Now please get off of me!” we both laughed as I rolled off of her and onto the floor, “Good!” I held my hands up in the air, “Jaime. Will you pwease help me up?”
Jaime shook the confused look off of his face and came to help me up. He grabbed my hands and helped me up, “thanks sweets.” I kissed his cheek.
“Yeah, sure.” He chuckled
“Hello! Still on the ground here!” Aliyah looked up at me and whined.
“You can get up by yourself, miss priss.” I scoffed and turned towards the guys. They all were standing with looks of pure confusion on their faces, “What? Have you never seen girls fight before?” I smirked
“We have, but we haven’t really seen anyone fight as weird as you do.” Vic laughed
“Emily!” Aliyah whined, I rolled my eyes and turned towards her one again, “Fine! I’ll help your lazy ass up.” She smiled and held her hands out towards me, I took them and yanked her up causing her to be launched past me and she stumbled into Vic who was standing behind me.
Vic caught her and made eye contact with her, they both stood there for a couple seconds and then Aliyah came to, shoving herself off of him and clearing her throat, “oh, sorry about that.”
Vic looked at her confused for a moment before acknowledging that she had said something, “oh, yeah it’s okay.” After that everything went completely quiet. It started getting awkward because all of us were just standing there in the silence, so I decided to break it in a funny way, “chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp”
Everyone laughed breaking the silence, “What was that?” mike chuckled
“It’s cricket chirping because of how quiet it was.” I smiled, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket so I pulled it out and checked it
From: Aly Bear<3
*I’m going to die a slow and miserable death. .-.*
*Why? * I quickly typed back and turned my attention back to everyone, “so what are the plans until Charlie gets home?”
“I guess we can watch a movie or something.” Tony suggested
“Okay, well that works. I already have a movie in mind.” I walked over to the movie shelf and grabbed the movie, everyone sat down on the couch and beanbag while I put the movie in. when I turned around, Mike, Jaime and Vic were sitting on the couch Aliyah was sitting on the big beanbag and Tony was sitting on the floor. “Well, this just does not work.” I folded my arms and popped my hip.
“And why doesn’t it work?” Aliyah asked knowing what I meant, “Well, I want to sit by my boyfriend and he’s over by Vic and you’re expecting me to sit by you. Aly I know that we haven’t seen each other in like forever, but cuddling with you isn’t like cuddling with Jaime.” I heard Jaime laugh so I smiled at him, “What? It’s not. Just like spooning with her isn’t the same as spooning with you. There’s no awkward boner.”
Aly spit out her drink and put her cup on the coffee table while choking as the entire room erupted in laughter. I looked at her in surprise, “Are you okay?”
She finally stopped coughing and answered me, “I’m good, I just really wasn’t expecting to hear that from you. I mean, I knew that you would say something like that, but I’d expect it when all of the boys leave.”
“There’s a lot that has changed around here. And it’s going to keep changing for a while. But still, you and Jaime need to switch spots.”
“But I don’t wanna sit by them.” Aliyah whined
Both Vic and Mike put their hands on their chests in shock and I laughed while switching my look from them to Aliyah once again, “See. Now you’ve hurt their feelings. No hurt feelings are allowed in my apartment! Apologize.”
“Fine!” she groaned and looked at them, “I’m sorry. There, happy?”
I smiled, “yes, yes I am. Now move your ass and switch places with Jaime.”
“Ugh!” Aliyah and Jaime got up and switched. I plopped on the beanbag with Jaime just as the movie menu came up. “Yes! Perfect timing!”
“You remembered?!” Aliyah exclaimed
“You thought I would forget? It has always been our tradition! I even informed the guys that we were watching it!”
“Oh my god I fucking love you!” she squealed and pulled her legs up to watch the movie. I laughed that she was now stuck in-between the Fuentes brothers. Vic was staring at the TV and mike was on his phone. I sighed and pulled out my phone to text him real quick, * Put your phone down, loser. Tonight is a movie /party night. Let go of the technology world and join ours, please. *
I set my phone in my lap while I waited for a reply. After a few seconds it went off
From: Mike Wasowski!
* Fine. But don’t think that I’m doing this for you. *
* Okay, I’m fine with that. *
I put my phone in my pocket, snuggled up to Jaime and started watching the movie.

“I got chills, they're multiplying. And I'm losing control. 'Cause thepower you're supplying, it's electrifying.” Aliyah danced
“You better shape up, 'cause I need a man, and my heart is set on you.
You better shape up, you better understand, to my heart I must be true. Nothing left, nothing left for me to do.” I sang and pointed at Jaime while dancing with Aliyah.
The boys were laughing at us, but we didn’t notice we just kept singing and dancing. After the song ended we both stopped and fell to the floor laughing “That was awesome!” I said out of breath and held my hand up for a high five.
“It definitely was!” Aliyah tiredly returned it.
“Remind me again why I’m dating you?” Jaime laughed
I looked up and gave him a cheesy smile, “because I’m the fun half of our duo.”
“Oh really now?” he gave me a mischievous grin.
“Yep!” I laughed and stood up
“I can be fun!” he pouted
“Sure you can, bud. Sure you can.” Vic laughed
“Hey, I can! I will prove it!”
“And how will you do that?” I questioned while Aliyah and I both sat up to look at him.
“Aliyah will have the best fucking night of her life, and I will make sure of it!” Jaime jumped up and tore Aliyah off of the couch and ran to the kitchen, Aliyah screaming the entire way, “Emily! Help me! Your boyfriend has gone insane!”
“I’m coming love bug!” I yelled getting up and running into the kitchen. Jaime still had her over his shoulder and was trying to grab a case of beers, “Jaime what are you doing?” I laughed
“He’s trying to kill me that’s what he’s doing! I can’t breath, his shoulder is shoved into my lungs.” Aliyah was struggling to get down but couldn’t.
“Okay, I guess I’ll put you down. I can’t grab as many drinks with holding you.” Jaime sighed and let Aliyah down.
“AIR! THANK GOD! PRECIOUS AIR!” Aliyah grabbed her stomach and gasped.
I laughed as she walked over by me, “What are you doing? Why don’t you go and talk with Vic and mike?”
“Because it’s awkward as fuck! Plus I don’t think that Vic likes me.”
“Who we talking about?” Jaime came over to us holding a couple cases of god knows what.
“Oh, she just really likes Vic and she thinks it’s awkward because she doesn’t think that he likes her.” I rolled my eyes and looked at Jaime.
“Oh no, he likes you. I can tell, if he didn’t like you then he would talk all of the fucking time and interrupt the movie.”
“Are you sure? I mean, he’s just been really quiet and I think what happened over skype just made it worse.” Aliyah let out a nervous laugh. “Wait, what happened over skype?” Jaime asked suddenly incredibly intrigued
“You tell him.” Aliyah laughed
“Okay, well you know when you called me and I said I was on skype with her?”
“Yeah, I know you two were talking now get to the funny part.” Jaime laughed
“Well, anyways, like two hours after I hung up with you, we were both dancing to disasterology and when I sang ‘can we create something beautiful and destroy it’ Aly looked right at me dead in the eye and said, ‘no Emily, you cannot destroy Vic and I’s kids.’ And then Vic walked in right when she said that and heard it. So she thinks that he thinks that she’s really weird. That and she fainted when she realized that it was him.”
“Are you serious?” Jaime tried really hard to hold his laughter but failed and busted out laughing and Aliyah shot him a glare, “Shut up! I’m sure that if you saw one of your all time heroes that you also have the biggest crush on you would faint too!”
Jaime sucked in air to throw a comment back but I cut him off, “okay, both of you calm down. The boys are probably wondering why we’re taking so long and knowing mike he’s probably saying that we’re having like a threesome or something. So we’re going to go out there laughing and looking like we were just getting drinks and we’ll go on with the rest of the night having a great time and then Aliyah and Vic will have sex and we’ll all be happy!” I smiled and walked into the living room while Jaime and Aliyah followed.
“What took so long?” Vic asked
“They were probabl-” mike started but I cut him off and laughed a little bit, “Shush up Fuentes.” Mike looked at me with a pouting look, “Why are you so mean?”
“Because I can be. Now who wants to start partying?!” I exclaimed while handing out drinks.
Just as all of the drinks were passed out, I decided to pull Aliyah out to the balcony,
“What do you want? I was just about to start drinking?” Aliyah pouted and I gave her a sad and worried look like I was about to cry. Her eyes filled with concern, “Oh god, what happened?”
I started to cry a little bit so she pulled me into a hug and I hugged her back, burying my face in her shoulder/neck, “I don’t know what to do, Ali.”
“What happened last night? What happened before I got here?” she rubbed small circles on my back to try to help me stop crying.
“Mike. That’s what happened.” I sobbed
“What did that son of a bitch do?” she put her hands on my shoulders and brought me out to where she could look me in the eyes.
“He kissed me. I didn’t want it I swear! It just happened. We got in a fight about how he thinks that I have feelings for him and I don’t. I mean, I did in the past, but that’s the past. Jaime is my present, and I know we’ve been dating for only a few days, but I love him so much. I’ve loved him since I went to Reno with them, and I’ve spent everyday since then thinking about him and wishing that I could be with him. He is my world right now and hopefully forever. I don’t want to lose him; you know how bad I am with that. Every man that I have loved in my life has left me. Whether it was their decision or Time’s. They have all left. I want to tell him, honest I do. But I don’t want him to leave, what if he blames me? I just don’t want to lose him when I just got him back.” I started crying even harder at the thought of losing him. I really can’t take it if he leaves. I don’t want him to think that I wanted it to happen, because I honestly didn’t. God, why does this always have to happen to me?
“Everything’s going to be okay. I’ll go inside and bring him out here and we’ll talk about it. I mean, we can’t wait until later, because the longer we wait the more pissed off he’s going to get when he finds out. Now, is there anything that you’re leaving out about this so I don’t go in there guns blazing and then end up looking like a complete jack ass?” she laughed and made me look her in the eyes.
“Vic lied for me.” I managed to say, just above a whisper.
“What was that? You’ve got to speak up, Hun.” Aliyah laughed once again
I cleared my throat and said it louder, “Vic lied for me.”
“What did he lie about?”
“After everything happened, mike stormed off and I went to my room and cried. Vic came in there after me and calmed me down and held me as I cried myself to sleep. And then the next morning when I woke up, Jaime was there and he told me that Vic had told him what happened. He said that it wasn’t my fault that jack had come back after Jaime left. Vic told him that jack had come back, he lied for me and I think that that fact that I played along with it is going to make it worse.”
She sighed, “well, all we can do is tell him the truth. And if shit hits the fan, just remember that I will be here every second by your side to clean up the mess. No matter how gross and smelly it is.”
I laughed and Aliyah wiped the tears off my cheeks and the makeup from under my eyes. “Now, I’m going to go inside and get Jaime. Just stay out here and take deep breaths to keep yourself calm. Okay? You can do this Emily, I know you. If you can dent a locker with a girls head all because she called me a cunt, I think you can handle this.”
I laughed, “yeah, I think that I can.”
She smiled, kissed my cheek and disappeared through the curtains hanging in front of the sliding glass door. All I could do was be silent and hold my breath, trying to keep the tears hidden.
I stood leaning on the railing and waited until I heard Jaime talking to Aliyah, “What’s wrong with her? I thought today was going great?”
“Don’t worry Jaime, it is. But she just needs to talk to you.” they both walked through the door and Jaime smiled at me. That made my heart hurt, just seeing him happy all because I lied to him.
“What’s up, Emily?”
I gave him a weak smile, “Nothing really. I just need to talk to you.”
“Okay? Am I in trouble?” he laughed
“No, you’re not. But you might want to sit down.” I smiled showing him that I was telling the truth.
