I opened my eyes and sat up before putting on my glasses. "You're awake." Aaron said as he pulled on some jeans. "Yeah."
"I'm stealing some clothes."
"Why? Yours should be dry."
"I know, but it means you have to come to my place to get them back."
"I still feel bad."
"You weren't worried when I fucked you last night?" Aaron laughed.
"Oh, shut up."
"Or at the hotel."
"Fuck off."
"Like I said I've been trying to break up with Chad, just give me until his mom gets somewhat better."
"Fine, but I don't like this."
"What?"
"I've come between you and Chad."
"I want you though."
"And we're lying and hiding from people again."
"Not ideal, I know."
"None of this is ideal, I think you should just go back and stay with Chad."
"How can I when it's you I want?"
"Maybe you just need to forget about me."
"I can't."
"Why not?" Aaron sat down on my bed next to me.
"You're the first, and only, person I've ever said it to."
"Why?"
"I couldn't bring myself to say it to anyone else, Chad keeps saying it all the time, but I've not said it to anyone but you."
"This is probably the worst thing I've ever done, even worse than not telling Brooke."
"I'm the one that's cheating."
"But I came between you both, if I hadn't of shown up, you'd still be together."
"You don't know that."
"You said I have to come and get my clothes back, right?"
"Yeah."
"I'm already visiting Willam at the weekend."
"Are you now?"

"Brooke, I have a problem."
"We all know that." She sighed as she looked up from her phone.
"Not the time, it's serious."
"What?"
"I might be seeing Aaron even though he's dating Chad still."
"What the actual fuck?"
"I know, it's bad, I told him we shouldn't, but it just happened, and it made me realise how much I missed him."
"Shit."
"Are you mad at me?"
"No, I'm sorry I was such a bitch before, I guess I was jealous and worried that Aaron liked you more."
"I'm sorry."
"Anyway what about Chad?"
"Aaron said he's trying to break up with him but he's waiting until his mom is somewhat better, but I feel so bad."
"I get why."
"I'm a shit person, aren't I?"
"Do you honestly want me to answer that?"
"No."
"Thought not."
"Do you think I should just tell Aaron that this can't happen."
"Why are you asking me?"
"Huh?"
"Surely it's up to you."
