Chloe's POV
I tuck a drunken Josh into the covers, and plop down on the foot of his bed.
"Where's Paige?" I ask finally, after a few moments of silence.
Josh's voice kind of sounds like he's under water, "She drove Nick home.." He snorts in laughter and I wrinkle my brow,
"What?"
He smirks and runs his fingers through his hair,
"They hooked up in the backseat of the car."
Josh might think this is hilarious, but I don't find it funny at all, "What?! Are you serious?" I shriek, jumping to my feet.
Josh nods, "He texted me."
I groan and start to pace the room,
"Why does she always do this to Brooke? Wait, wasn't Nick like thrilled that he and Brooke were back together?"
Josh sits up in bed, and grabs my hand. I can't help but let a smile spread across my face at his touch.
"Chloe, I feel like shit. Not now." And with that, he tugs me down next to him and pulls me close,
"Can't we talk about this in the morning?"
I nod and start to get up, "Yeah, I'll call you when I wake up-"
"No." smirks Josh, coaxing me back down next to him, "I mean, can't we talk about this... tomorrow morning...?"
I give in, and deliver a kiss on his lips, "I guess that'd be okay."
Paige's POV- The Next Day
I came in late last night, and stumbled my way back to bed in a blur. When I wake the next day, I hear the sound of laughter, Josh's deep chuckle. But, then, I realize, his laugh isn't the only one ringing through the wall.
Chloe's jingling giggle fills my ears, and I spring out of bed.
She did not. No possible way. Chloe did not spend the night.
But, when I fling open Josh's door, there she is, tucked underneath his covers, snuggled in his arms. They turn to face me so fast that both of their necks nearly snap off.
"Paige!" Chloe calls, wrapping a blanket around herself and rising to her feet, "We need to talk."
"Not until you cover your junk!" I shriek, scrunching my nose in disgust, "You're disgusting," I turn to point at Josh, "Both of you!"
In the hallway a few minutes later, Chloe reappears in an XL T-shirt she must've stolen from Josh.
"Now," she crosses her arms, "Are we gonna talk about all the nothing's that need to be talked about?"
"Like you staying over with Josh?"
Chloe's jaw drops like it always does when she's pissed,
"No! Like you and Nick!"
My heart stops and I'm suddenly filled with the shame that I had forgotten to feel,
"How'd you know?"
