"You're such a fucking liar!" Charlie screamed, pushing past the two and back out of the room.

"Charlie, please, you don't understand." Whiskey chased after her. Miles walked the opposite way with a smirk.

"I don't understand? You're cheating on me and Duke. Seems pretty fucking clear."

"No, it doesn't because there are things me and Duke haven't told you!" As they walked down the hallway they didn't notice they past Andi, who was watching closely before getting a notepad out.

Charlie stormed into their shared room and began to pack her suitcase, angrily throwing her clothes in.

"What are you doing?"

"What do you think?" Charlie snapped.

"What are you going to do? Swim away?" Whiskey scoffed. "There's no boat to take you."

"I'd rather go drown then look at your face anymore."

"That's a bit dramatic." Whiskey scoffed.

"What's with all the yelling?" Duke walked in, eyes snapping between the pair.

"She's fucking Miles!" Charlie looked at her boyfriend for a little comfort.

"She saw us, Duke... she knows." Whiskey walked over to him, putting a hand on his arm.

"W - What?" Charlie felt betrayal as Duke didn't look one bit surprised. "You knew?"

"I can explain - we can explain - "

"Oh my God." Charlie turned away, running a hand through her hair in disbelief.

"You know he wasn't putting me on Alpha News. Me and Whiskey thought that if she - if she was with him, he would change his mind. Cut me some slack."

"You pimped yourself out so Duke could get on fucking Alpha news?" Charlie spoke deadly calm but her whole face went red. She had never felt this angry before.

"It wasn't a choice - "

"Yes, it was!" Charlie cut Whiskey off. "You went behind my back with some dumb ass plan that in the end would never fucking work because Miles is a selfish prick." Charlie shook her head. "You thought you were smarter then him but this whole time he's the one who's been using you. You did all of this for nothing."

Whiskey felt herself begin to cry.

"W - We did what we had to." Duke tried again, not wanting to listen to her word.

"Keep thinking that if it makes you feel better but we both knows it's a lie." She looked between them. "You're both disgusting. Stay the fuck away from me. After this trip you will never see me again."

She shoved herself past them, fists clenched by her side. She couldn't look at them anymore. This whole time she had alarm bells ringing in her head but she ignored them because she trusted them. She should have trusted her gut instinct. She should have known.

You can't trust anyone.

Whiskey fell to the bed, her face in her hands and sobs left her.

Duke stayed standing, jaw clenched in anger. "You should have tried harder with Miles. He was - he was going to let me have Alpha news. You ruined it."

"We just lost our girlfriend and that's all you're worried about?" Whiskey shouted. "Fuck Alpha News."

"She'll forgive us. It doesn't matter."

"We both know that's not true." Whiskey glared at him. "We lost her. Over nothing."

"Just stop talking." Duke held up his hand. "Just stop."
