"Hey lovebirds, sleep well?" Zoe asked as soon as she walked into the kitchen.

Billie's head snapped up.

"I slept really good, actually. Sorry for crashing, I don't even know when I fell asleep." Yohan answered.

"I'm sure Eilish here had something to do wi— "

"Drew can you watch the eggs for a second?" Billie interrupted.

"Sure wifey."

Billie grabbed Zoe's hand and dragged her to the living room before she could say something else.

"Do not tell Yohan we slept together."

"You did it on my own couch Eilish? You two are going to have to buy me a new one," Zoe smirked.

Billie blushed at how what she had just said sounded.

"Shut up you know what I meant."

"Billie, I'm pretty sure she knows you guys cuddled all night."

"No she doesn't Zoe. She thinks I slept in the spare bedroom."

"Why would she think that when everybody in the house knows where you two slept."

"Because I told her I did."

"Why would you do that?"

"Because I let slip that I had slept really good and I didn't want to make her uncomfortable."

"Clearly she's just so uncomfortable. You're hopeless Eilish."

"Please Zoeee."

"Fine, it's not like it'll erase Yohan's memory anyway."

"She doesn't know Zoe."

"Sure Bil."

"So, you slept really good huh?" Drew teased Yohan.

"Yeah?"

"On that tiny couch?"

"It's not that tiny."

"It is when you're tall and you have another body next to you," the girl smirked.

Yohan's head snapped up. "You saw us?" She whispered, hoping Ella wouldn't hear. Though Ella was currently coloring a safe distance away at the dining table, not paying attention to them.

"Of course we saw you. Both of you were cuddling before Zoe and I could even finish the movie and make it upstairs."

"Oh." Yohan blushed.

"If it makes you feel any better, I know she slept really good too." Drew teased.

"Yeah sure. I mean she did say that to me but then she lied and said she spent the night in the spare bedroom so I don't know what to think."

Drew rolled her eyes. "Typical Billie, avoiding her feelings."

"Does she do that often now?"

"She's a walking poster child for avoidance."

"I did that to her." Yohan said sadly. "It's like all the things she used to struggle with before are ten times worse now." She said remembering the anxiety attacks, the way Billie avoided talking about things, the way she could see shame and guilt etched on Billie's face constantly. The way she could see Billie punished herself.

"Hey, it wasn't your fault. It wasn't Billie's. It wasn't anyones. It's life. No one rarely sets out to be the bad guy on purpose. We all just deal and cope however we can and try our best to figure it out along the way. Sometimes we hurt people unintentionally in doing so, but you've got to forgive yourself for something that was out of your control.
