I freeze, pulling my hand from his wrist. "Julian, I don't-"
"Wow." This time the voice didn't come from Julian or me. I turn my head, meeting the eyes of Kenny.
"Great." Julian mutters, running his hand through his hair.
Kenny glares at Julian. "How many times are you going to attempt to steal my girlfriend?" Kenny snaps.
I turn, grabbing on Kenny's shirt and push him back. "Kenny...don't." I mutter.
"Oh come on Thea, you can't be serious. He can't just say things like that." He tells me, pointing at Julian.
I shrug. "I can't control his feelings Key. And you can't prevent him from feeling them."
"The-"
"Look I chose you, not him. Don't you trust me?" I ask softly.
That seem to calm Kenny down a bit. "Right, listen to the girlfriend. The one you stole from me." Julian mutters.
I grip Kenny's shirt tightly, trying to refrain from turning and smacking Julian in the face. Kenny holds my wrists, pulling his shirt from my grasp. "Thea, let's just go watch a movie or something." He whispers.
Before I could answer, another voice speaks up. "Woah, what's going on here?" Donnie asks.
Kenny sighs. "Julian just confessed his lo-"
"Oh yeah no, I heard everything. I'm just trying to get Athena and my snack, so I'll just..." Donnie grabs my arm, yanking me into the kitchen.
"Did you find something." I whisper excitedly to Donnie.
Donnie's gaze darts back and forth from me to Kenny and Julian. "Besides the fact that I'm living in a literal soap opera?"
"Yes."
"Okay, good news is I found your family."
I grab Donnie's arms, spinning him until his back was facing the Kenny and Julian. "Are you serious? That's amazing!" I say in a excited whisper.
Donnie shrugs, forcing a smile. "You haven't heard the bad news yet."
My shoulders slump. "Which is?"
"They're in Arizona."
Wait, that's it? I thought he was going to say they were dead or farther away. Arizona isn't that far. "Don, I don't think that classifies as bad news."
Donnie rolls his eyes. "Sure it isn't terrible but come on, you can't go see them, not now."
"That's not entirely true." I say.
Donnie frowns, letting out a sigh. "Dangit Athena, what are you planning?"
"Nothing! But you have to admit that Arizona would be safer for me, especially with the mole walking around here somewhere." I tell him.
Donnie takes a moment to think. "True...but not if the mole tells Philip where you are." I grin at Donnie causing him to sigh again. "What?"
"No one else has to know." I say, grin growing wider.
"There it is, your horrible awful plan." Donnie mutters.
"It's not horrible!" I whine.
Donnie glances behind him. "If you're set on keeping this a secret then we can't talk here." Donnie grabs my arm and pulls me towards the infirmary. "If I see you pull your gun, I'm getting the taser Ken!" He yells.
"I'm not going to shoot him!" Kenny say innocently, gesturing towards Julian. "...Yet."
Donnie gently pushes me in the room, closing and locking the door behind us. "Why do I feel I'm getting kidnapped. Again."
