((hey y'all sorry for not updating anything. I've been hella busy with life. Just got a lot going on, I'll do my best to keep the updates coming.))

I wake up and stretch out on the bottom bunk bed. My head is pounding from the night before. I slide out of the bunk in a pair of shorts and a tank top. I head for the bathroom knowing Luke keeps pain meds in the cabinet.

'Jesus my head hurts. Maybe I had a few to many shots' I think to myself.

"Morning sleeping beauty." Luke says passing by the bathroom.

"You're too loud." I grumble following him to the kitchen with some aspirin in hand.

"No you're just hungover." He laughs while passing me a coffee cup.

I take the aspirin and flip him off as Caroline walks in the kitchen. Caroline and I start working on making breakfast for the whole crew. Caroline notices Brittney walk in and start to help us, but I don't notice because last night brought back some painful memories.

'I cant believe its been five years since hunter and I split up over such a stupid argument. He should of known me well enough to never assume I would cheat. I'm not that type of person, plus the guy I was hanging out with on the boat was my cousin on my mothers side. We had finally reconnected after he got home from a three year deployment overseas. I just don't understand why people always jump to the worst possible explanation.' Caroline nudging me pulls me out of my thoughts.

"Girl I think the eggs are done." carol teases

"Yeah any longer and I think we might need a fire extinguisher." Britt says.

"Oh shit!" I exclaim and remove them from the burner. Britt and Carol laugh as I frantically check to make sure I didn't burn them.

"What's so funny?" Jason asks Brittney.

"Firecracker over here almost caught the eggs on fire." Britt wheezes.

"In my defense I'm still hungover!" I retort.

"No I think you were dreaming of Mr. Sexy!" Caroline says jokingly.

"I was not." I say a little defensive.

"What's going on in that pretty little head of yours?" Jason asks.

"Just things." I say open endedly.

"Oh I'm sure." he jokes but motions me to follow him off the bus.

"Jas I'm just not sure what to do." I say softly following him.

"What do you mean by that?" He asks with a worried look.

"Last night seeing Hunter brought back some bad memories." I partially explain.

"What happened between you guys exactly? the media blew everything out of proportion and no one knows what really happened." he says sitting down in the chairs that we left out from last night.

"Well there are a few that know the true story. Hunter thought i was cheating on him with someone. I wasn't cheating, i was spending family time with my cousin. He is in the army and had just gotten home from a three year long deployment." I explain

"Wait so that guy you were hugging in all of those photos is a family member?" He asks

"Yeah he is a cousin on my mothers side of the family." I reply.

"Did you try to explain that to him?" He asks confused

"Yes and so did carol but he just wouldn't listen and we ended up getting into a massive fight. that lead to me walking out of the relationship." I say
