Ev's pov:
Its the end of school, and we're all supposed to meet up at Louis' place.
"Hey baby, lets go", I say reaching out my hand, to Isaac. He grabs onto it, and we get inside his car. He doesn't say much, he just sits in. He looks at me smiles, and gives me a kiss, on the lips. He pulls away and says, "How come you went with Sam, to get lunch today?". I reply with, "Well, we were both in the same class, and we finished 15 minutes, earlier, so we just thought we might as well get food, whilst the line was still short". He looks up at me and says, "But I got my food, before you. What where you doing then?". I smile and say, "Don't worry, he just had to speak to a teacher, about some homework, or something, so we took longer, than you". He smiles, as he puts his hand on my inner-thigh and says, "Sorry, I should trust you, sorry for asking". I say, "it's fine, you just need to understand, that I would never cheat on you", and he starts the car, and we make our way to Louis place.

When we get there, Louis and Sam are in the kitchen; Louis is making the pasta sauce, and Sam is well, eating it, "it's plain pasta, how can you still eat that?!", Louis says in disbelief. Sam replies with, "I'm hungry", whilst sitting on the counter, with a full mouth, of plain pasta. I chuckle and say, "Hey guys, where's Venus?". Sam mumbles, "She's in Louis room, having a shower, I spilt some sauce on her". "And your spilling pasta crumbs on me, don't speak, with a full mouth!", as I hop onto the counter and nudge him, playfully. Isaac pours himself a cup of water, as Louis it busy near the oven, doing whatever he does, to make his pasta so good. "Sam, be helpful, and take out plates and forks, for the pasta". He jumps off the island and sets the table. Isaac says to Louis, "Well, everyone is always saying how good your pasta is, and as an Italian, I shall give my professional opinion". I reassure Isaac, by saying, "Trust me, you're gonna love it".

Louis pov:
"Pastas ready, it's just hot so-". "Aaah, son of a- it's boiling", Sam says, spitting out the pasta. "I warned you, well, I was warning you". Everyone laughs, and I realise Venus still isn't downstairs, so I go up to my room, to check if she's okay. I walk in, and I hear, "don't come in!". She realises it's me and says, "Ugh, you scared me". I look at her and smirk a little. She says, "No, there's pasta downstairs, I'm hungry, and I still need to change, so, no!". I walk closer and say, as I grab her hips, "I think I like you in this, there's no need to change into clothes...". She giggles and says, "Well I doubt my brother will like me like this, and Sam will like it a little too much". I agree and say, "hmm, you make a good point", I kiss her on the neck and sit on the bed, as I watch her walk to my closet. "I'm sure I left some sweatpants here", whilst touching her hair. "Uhh, yeah they're hanging on the door". She pulls them on and says, "I'm going to need to borrow one of your shirts though...". I reply with, "yeah, of course, choose any you want". "Oh, yes, there's that really nice N.A.S.A shirt I've seen before". I smile and say, "yeah, it's on the end of the rack, right there". She was just about to put it on, but I walk up to her and pin her against the wall. She kisses me, passionately, as she breathes heavily. I kiss her chest, and move onto her stomach. She giggles and says, "You just couldnt let me change, could you?". I stop kissing her, and look at her and say, "not when you look this good". She pulls me up, from her stomach, and kisses my lips. She kneels, as she pulls up my shirt and kisses my abs. I pick her up and push her, against the wall, locking hands with her. With our our bodies pushing against each other, she chuckles and says, "okay, we gotta go". I whine a little and say, "ugh, nooo". She smiles as she pecks me on the lips, and pulls on the shirt.

We both walk downstairs and we see Sam, gone and what seemed to be Isaac and Ev arguing. We walk in, awkwardly, and when they notice us, they stopped whatever they were doing. Me and Venus share an alarmed look. Venus asks, "where's Sam?". "He's in the kitchen, getting some more pasta." Ev replies. "Ooofcourse he is", I say, as I gesture to Venus, to come in the kitchen. We walk in and she says, "what was that about?!". I look down and say, "I don't know, it's probably nothing..". She holds my face in her hands and says, "you know something, what is it?!". I reply, "I don't know what you're on about!". "No, I know when you're lying, tell me!". I reluctantly, explain to her, what happened the other day, between Isaac and Ev. "I can't believe you didn't tell me, I knew something was off, but I didn't want to be rude. I can't believe you, Louis, if you told me I could've talked to Isaac!". She looks away and walks off. I look back and up, and lock eyes with Sam and he mouths, "ouch", as he walks over, my way. "What were Isaac and Ev doing, whilst you were, in here??". Sam says, with a full mouth of pasta, "That's what I've been trying to figure out! Something not right..". He goes to have another large mouth-full of pasta and I scoff, as I pull away the spoon and say, "Can you stop eating, for one second?!". He sighs, as he puts down the plate and says, "Well, let's just leave it for now, we can't just go around solving their fights, they're a couple, they'll make up eventually, plus you have your own argument to solve" Sam says glancing at Venus. I nod and agree. "Hey, you know I wouldn't let Isaac do anything to Ev, but some fights, they gotta resolve on their own", Sam says, as he pats me on the back and walks, into the living room. The dinner was kind of awkward; Ev and Isaac weren't speaking, Venus wasn't speaking to me and Sam kept on getting more pasta. "Okay, I think I'm gonna head out now" Isaac said, pointing to the door. "Yeah, me too", said Sam. "Can you give me a ride Sam?" asked Ev. Sam glanced at Isaac, scratched the back of his head and said, "uhh, yeah, I guess, just grab your stuff". Sam looks at me, confused on what to do, and I just shrug. When they all leave, Venus, comes out of the bathroom and says, in a low tone, "oh well, uh thanks for the pasta" and beings to walk out. I say, "Wait up,Venus!", as I grab her, by the hand. "Look, I'm not good, with this, so I don't know how to phrase it properly, so I'm probably making myself seem really dumb here, but that's only because I care.  I'm sorry for not telling you sooner, I know you trust me to tell you everything you need to know, and now I feel as if I've broken that trust, I'm- im sorry". She smiles a little and says, "You haven't broken my trust, I just got upset that you felt, as if you couldn't tell me because he was my brother. He did something wrong, and as the older sister, I would obviously recognise that, and explain to him that what he's doing isn't okay". I apologise again, and let go of her hand. She hugs me and whispers, into my ear, "Your cute, when I make you nervous". I chuckle and she kisses me as I walk her, to her car. "Text me when you get home, safely, okay??". She nods, and we share one, last kiss, before she drives off.

Sam's pov:
Okay, just drive her home, do not ask about it, she clearly doesn't want to talk about it. But she looks so sad, NO, just keep your eyes on the road. "This is killing you, isnt it?" she asks me. I smile and say, "What is?". "Not being able to ask, or having any way of finding out why Isaac isn't driving me home, and what happened, when you went, into the kitchen". I laugh nervously, and say, "yeah, but you don't have to talk about it, if you don't want to...". She says, "This time, I do.". I look at her, with surprise. "It was just over something small, he thought me and you were-". My eyes widen, as she was about to finish her sentence, I knew what she was going to say, I knew this day would come, ugh. "-flirting...". I remain silent, "which we were not, he just feels threatened, by you. It all started, when we hugged, in the kitchen...". To ease the tension I say, "damn, why do I have to be so good-looking". She slaps my arm and says, "stop, this is serious! My relationship is on the line here!" I reply, in a serious tone, "well, you have to make him see, that we're friends, and that in the past, I may have had a crush on you, but not anymore!!". She looks up at me, when I say that, "you used to??". "Hell yeah I did, wow your even more oblivious than I thought...", as I stop the car. She slaps my arm again and says, "shut up, it's just because you never admitted it". "Well, if I'm honest, with you, I was going to ask you out, but then Isaac came into the picture... But it's okay now, I'm soooo over you. Plenty more fish in the sea" as I leans back on my chair, folding my arms, under my head. She goes to slap my arm again, but I catch her hand. For a split second, we make eye-contact, but I break it off and say, "well, we're here". She says, "oh, right, thanks for the ride". She leans over her chair, and hugs me, and then walks out the car. I wait, in my car, until I see her, safely in her house. She shouts, "you don't have to do that, you know!!". I shout back, "I know!!". And then, we both laugh, and we share one more look, before she waves, and steps, into her house. I back out of her driveway, and go home.

a/n I'll make the next chapter longer, sorry.
