Lilian halts her sentence, Nick is glaring, as both look down. There was a football that had stopped right at Nick's foot.

She examines Nick's mood and then peeps at the boys, Dalton rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly, understanding their mistake. Wade had his hands up, gesturing for Nick to throw the ball back at the group but Nick simply stares at him as he blew another batch of smoke out.

Lilian shift on Nick's lap, going to stand up and pass the ball being the nice friend she was to Wade but Nick had a firm grip on her hips, not letting her move. "I'm not moving," she whisper and shiver, seeing his eyes were still steely. The male nuzzles his nose in Lilian's neck, to comfort the girl yet his eyes never left Wade.

Wade stares back at Blake and Dalton, wondering what to do. Dalton had avoided looking at him, instead, he playfully whistles as he turns his back to them. Blake gestured for him to get the ball himself. Sighing, Wade starts walking up to the two, Nick notifying this, whispers to his girlfriend's ears, "Stand."

Lilian did as told, holding onto his beer as she watch Nick pick up the football before Wade could, his grab on it was tight before launching it far off to Blake rather hard that the man grunt from the impact.

"Nice arm," Wades rolls his eyes, turning to look at Nick, "I see why they gave you a scholarship." Lilian promptly went beside Nick, knowing this would be heated if someone wasn't interfering, she glance at Carly who was already walking her way towards them. Placing a hand on Nick's chest as she whispers calmly between them, "Please, guys. We just got here, let's not argue."

Nick frowns, he knew she was right but he didn't like the tone Wade had with him, wrapping an arm over Lilian's shoulder as he scoffs, "Yeah, it's a real tragedy, ain't it?"

"Yes, it is," Wade replied, staring at Lilian and this made Nick's temper issue urge more as he took a step forward, only to be stopped by Carly, "Wade, go help Dalton with the tent, okay?"

Nick ignored the two, clicking his tongue while rolling his eyes. Discovering no more fun in taunting the male, he put a finger under Lilian's chin and tilt her head towards him, kissing her softly, his eyes staying on her expression. Loving how whenever they kissed, Lilian would have her eyes close and lean in more to him.

Her face turned red, feeling embarrassed by the kiss but she didn't stop him, she'd rather get him out of this situation so everyone can avoid further arguments between the two males. Nick smiled as he pulls her to him, wrapping his arms around her body, and taking a deep breath of Lilian's scent, in the corner of his eyes, he notices Wade finally leaving, "Bye, Wade."

"Asshole," that was the reply given by Wade.

Carly stomps her foot towards the couple, turning her attention to her friend and brother, scowling hard at Nick mostly, "You can be a prick to me, that's fine. But he didn't do anything to you."

Lilian nestles her head into Nick's chest, letting out a sigh that only he caught, just when one argument stops another one is welcomed. Comforting her side so she knew that he didn't like to argue in front of Lilian, but Nick too isn't a person to avoid a fight. "So," Nick stares her sister down, "You admit you did something."

"I admit, according to you, I did something, sure."

"You dimed me out!"

Nick releases Lilian, distinguishing that the fight is escalating with the voice being raised. She shouldn't hearken to the siblings bickering about his arrest. Using her freedom, she moved to sit on Nick's chair as she took a small sip from the beer knowing she was easy to get drunk with alcohol.

"I did not dime you out. When the sheriffs asked where you got the car, I said I didn't know. I didn't even know it was stolen," Carly reply angrily, "You're blaming that on me?" Lilian watched carefully afraid the siblings might be physical, her eyes would peer at Dalton and Paige sometimes. Dalton is already keeping eyes on her, making sure she was good.

"You could have covered for me, huh? Even Lil fucking did it." Nick snaps at his sister, at this point, they sounded like they were growling at each other.

Carly snaps her head to Lilian who nodded her head at the attention, telling the truth it was her first time lying to someone and it was the cops.

"T-That's because she's a fucking idiot, who would fucking lie to cops."

Nick scowls harden at Carly, his irritation multiplying trembly, Lilian chooses to ignore the comment, despite feeling hurt by the fact.

"You get caught stealing, it's my fault. You're resisting arrest, and it's the cop's fault -"

Nick cuts Carly off, "He took a swing at me, and don't get Lil involved in your shit talk, at least she cared enough to lie for me that my own flesh and blood won't." Carly rolls her eyes and continues her words, ignoring Nick on purpose, "Get kicked off the football team, it's the coach's fault. Mom and Dad kick you out of the house, it's their fault. You can't keep a job for two weeks, it's every manager's fault."

Nick took a big sigh, he stares at everyone, not Lilian, "I'm surrounded by idiots."

"So why did you come?" Taking a step closer as she tries to intimidate her twin, "To piss me off?" Nicks scoffs, "Don't you get it? You're the good twin. I'm the evil one."

Paige gestures towards Lilian to the siblings, seeing this could get more heated, agreeing Lilian stood up, wrapping her arm around Nick's waist as she whispers, pleading with him to calm down. Nick glances down at her, a flash of guilt perceiving how worried his girlfriend is in.

"Grow up! You are so afraid to take things seriously."

Nick snap back at Carly. He was just a second away to walk away with Lilian but his sister just had to push his buttons more. His emotions had changed differently when he gazes into Lilian's eyes, "Yeah. As afraid as Wade is of leaving good old Gainesville?"

He smirks knowing that was a trigger to Carly as she's worried about her future relationship with Wade, "New York City. Well, I hear they got buildings as tall as the sky." He spoke in a mocking southern accent, a grin that was pushing Carly off more. His mood changes drastically as he put on an emotionless mask, stroking Lilian's back softly as he took the beer from her, leading her back to the chair.

"Okay." Carly nods, her eyes peering at Lilian, "I don't even know how she deals with you."
