*Beverly Hills*
Coop was laying down trying to get some sleep when Spencer came walking in. "What are you doing?" She asked. "Laying down the opposite side of you. What does it look like?" Coop wasn't feeling that. "Uh, shouldn't you be upstairs with your girl?" Spencer sat down on the couch. "She doesn't want to talk to me" he said. "Is that her words or yours? Because I'm sure she won't be able to sleep without you and since when do y'all go to sleep without settling your difference? Trust me you don't wanna go to sleep without making up.." Spencer knew Coop was right. "Yeah but what if it turns into another argument?" Coop placed her hand on her friends shoulder. "Then don't let it. Settle this Spence cause I'm not trying to share this couch with you" he chuckled. "Aight. Thanks Coop" she gave her friend a smile. "Anytime, go make it up to your girl and don't be too loud either" Spencer chuckled before standing up. "You know you should've took your own advice. If you would have, you and Patience would still be together. Goodnight" Spencer walked out the living room and went upstairs leaving Coop in her feelings because she knew Spencer was right. Spencer knocked on the door before entering. Olivia's back was facing him so he wasn't sure if she was sleep. "Liv?" She sniffed her nose as she turned her body so that she could look over her shoulder at him. It broke his heart to see that she was crying. "Spencer.." he walked over and sat down on the bed to hug her. "I don't want to go to bed mad at each other" he told her. "I don't either. I hate this. Us fighting and being mad at each other. It's too much Spencer. It's stressing me out and I just...." she stopped from being out of breath. He pulled back to look at her. "Baby breathe. I hate this too. So let's fix this" he insisted. "I don't know Spencer. This isn't the first time we have fought because of her and I don't think it will be the last. I can't deal with this right now" she told him. "What are you saying?" She was dreading what she was about to say. She shifted her eyes to the side because she couldn't look at him. "Babe..." he caressed her cheek seeing her eyes shift back onto him. "I think we need some time apart right now" hearing those words broke his heart but he had to accept her wishes. "I'm sorry" more tears fell from her eyes.

JR was seated in the bleachers alone when Thea came to find him. "Hey, I've been looking all over for you and you haven't return my calls and texts" she was looking up at him. "My bad... just wanted to be alone" he said. "What happened?" She walked up the bleachers to where he was. "Coach is sitting me out in the next two games for missing practice" he said. "My God, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault.." she sat down next to him. "Nah. It's on me. I wanted to skip practice to make sure you wasn't going to make a big mistake by going on a date with Damon. I just...." He sighed. "I have so much confidence off the field but on the field not so much. And I'm just Damon's shadow—" she cut him off as she was shaking her head. "You have so much potential. You just have to believe in yourself like I do" he looked over at her. "You believe in me?" She started grinning. "Of course I do. I've seen you play. You're an incredible athlete. You just have to have the same confidence on the field like you do off the field. I know it's hard. Im still learning to have confidence. Tennis is all I've known my entire life. No friends. No boyfriend. Just tennis. But I want my life to be different. And I know you do too. So let's help each other. I help you gain confidence on the field. You help me gain confidence off the field" a smile formed on his face. "I'd like that Thea. You just know what to say to make me feel better" she looked down blushing. "I try..." she said. "You don't need to try. It's natural. It's who you are. You're a caring person and I can't wait to be as competitive on the field like you are on the tennis court" she looked at him smiling. "And I'll be cheering you on JR as if I'm your biggest fan" a chuckle escaped his lips. "As if? Why don't you just be that. My biggest fan" he continued to smile. "I can work with that" she grinned shyly at him.
