Before Niall and I could make for the door, Hero rushed towards us, shoving at him. 

"What the fuck, man? You're dating my cousin, now you can't keep your hands off my girl?" 

Niall scoffed. "Why don't you read the entire picture before making assumptions? She needed a ride." 

"Bullshit." Hero hissed. 

"Why do you even care?" I demanded, slapping at Hero's jacket. "I'm surprised you noticed I was gone. Was the kiss worth it?"

Hero looked at me with a perturbed expression. 

"You know exactly what you were doing, purposefully calling Niall over because you were jealous." 

"Can you fucking blame me?" I shouted, shoving at his chest with as much force as possible. 

Hero loomed over me, anger clear in his eyes. 

"It was a god damn game! What choice did I have?" 

I clenched my jaw, feeling overwhelmed with fury. 

"YOU COULD HAVE LEFT THE GROUP AND NOT DONE IT!" 

We were both breathless and weak by the time we'd finished yelling at each other. Looking around, I saw that nearly every student was staring at us. 

Though the music was still pounding, the energy had left the room. 

Much to my displeasure, Kylie, Ellie, Nora, and Annie were smiling widely not bothering to hide their joy on their faces. 

I ignored them, turning back to Hero, not yet finished. 

"You wanted to do that... I know you did." 

"Hey you guys," Niall began awkwardly, "I think I should leave you to it-" 

"NO!" I all but screamed. "I still need that ride!" 

Hero narrowed his eyes.

"You have a ride. You came with me." 

He then looked at Niall dismissively. "I got this."

Without saying much more, Niall rushed out of the frat, through the front door.
 
When Hero and I were faced with each other once more, I continued on with the conversation. 

"Think about it; I've forced you to change your ways. Being with me means that you can't mess around and party. You wanted to come here in the hope that seven minutes in heaven would happen again." 

In front of every gawking eye, Hero smoothed his hands through my hair.  

"Kristina, we both know that's not true. I told you before. I don't need to party or mess around. I don't need any of these people. I'm happy to give it up." 

I wiped at an eye. "Clearly that's not true. Look what happened. I heard what was said-"

Hero rolled his eyes. "Stop thinking about what was said- fuck- let's go-"
 
As he paved a way for us through the mass of partiers, he started shouting:

"Don't you all have something better to do? Mind your own damn business!" 

When we made it out to the lawn, Hero continued. 

"Look... what Nora said... that was her trying to stir up shit, baby. I'll be honest with you... I said some choice things that night. I told her I was pissed at you and wanted to fuck her. Said I wanted to do a multitude of things but... we never actually did anything. You have to believe me." 

I folded my arms.

"Why was Annie in on it then?" 

Hero groaned.

"I know she's a good actor, but that's how she is. Once she hears a rumor, she likes playing it to her advantage. Look... despite what you think... I didn't want to kiss Nora. I was stuck in a rut. It wasn't the best decision on my part, but I knew giving her a quick kiss was better than cuddling with Kylie. I knew how you'd feel about that." 

In my opinion, it wasn't a quick kiss, but he did have a point. Though I tried to convince myself it didn't matter much, I would have been upset at him and Kylie being so close. 

I sighed.

"I suppose you're right. Just for clarification on my part, I was trying to make you jealous of your best friend but I swear we weren't planning anything." 

Hero grumbled. "Maybe you weren't." 

I shut my eyes tightly. "No, he wasn't either. I know for a fact he wouldn't do that with me."

Hero raised a brow. "Trust me, I know my friend. He's likes chasing girls like-"
 
I grabbed ahold of his shoulders.

"Hero, listen to me. I know he won't do that. He's asked Jo to marry him."

Hero's eyes went round.

"What? Niall? No. Niall isn't one to settle down. He isnt capable of commitment."

"Well it's true. He admitted it before you joined us. You can't say a word of this to him or Josephine. She has a dinner scheduled and she wants us to come. She's going to tell everyone."

Hero held up both his hands. 

"Fine. I won't say a thing but don't blame me if the dinner goes to shit." 

I pursed my lips.

"One other thing you should know: Chad is going to be there. If I had any other choice, I would have skipped out but this will mean the world to my best friend." 

Hero groaned. "I know. But if he says a word to you, I'm going to do something." 

I smiled. "That's fine. Come on. Let's go home. We need sleep."

At this Hero bit his lip.

"Maybe more than sleep."

Hope you all have a good one.

How do you think Jo's parents will take the proposal?

Love you all ❤❤
