I woke up rolling over squinting my eyes to the light shining through the window. I searched the covers trying to find my phone. When I found it I saw it was 11:38 and my phone was on 14 %. I sat up on the bed and threw my hair up in a messy bun.

I walked into Lias room seeing both Mae and Lia still sound asleep. I threw myself onto the bed landing right on top of them trying to wake them up. When I saw that didn't work I started to shake them.

"WW-WakE UP!" I yelled. Lia groaned and rolled over causing her arm to fly over hitting Mae in the face. My mouth gaped open for about a second before I busted out into laughter. I saw Mae move Lias hand off her face and sitting up rubbing her nose.

"Ow?" Mae said. I giggled and replied.

"Help me get her." I said as I grabbed one of Lias hands.

Mae grabbed her other hand and we pulled forcing Lia to sit up. We herd Lia groan before she woke up and started to rub her eyes.

"What happened?" Lia said as her voice shook.

"Nothing." I said trying to cover up my own thoughts. My mind was immediately brought to Harry even though neither of them had any clue about it.

"I am never drinking again." Lia said as she threw herself back on the bed. Mae crawled over her getting out of bed making her way out of the room.

"Come on." I said as I grabbed Lias hand to go to the kitchen.

When we got into the kitchen I saw Mae making herself a cereal. I decided to grab a pop tart out of the pantry. I walked over the the table and threw it down pulling out the chair and sitting down. I started to open the pop tart as Lia and Mae came over with a bowl of cereal.

"I'm pretty sure I died last night and came back from hell." I could feel my breath shorten as I thought about last night. I twiddled with my pop tart seeing them look at me in silence.

"Is this about Harry?" Lia started.

"Did you see?" Mae finished.

I looked at them confused thinking they were talking about the party. I looked down at my pop tart opening the package all the way.

"We didn't want to tell you we knew you'd be like this. We're sorry." Lia said making a sad face. I looked up at them with a straight face even though I was confused.

"What do you mean." I said keeping calm seeing them look at each other.

"You saw Harry at school?" Mae said. Lia turned and hit her arm causing her to flinch.

"Talk. Now." I started.

"Well-" Lia stopped Mae and finished herself.

"Mae was walking past the bathroom and she herd people in there when she came back she saw Harry and some other girl pressed against the wall making out with him." I stayed silent for a minute.

"Did she have Brown hair." I asked.

"No blonde why." Mae quickly replied. I didn't say anything back.

"Ellorie..." Lia said leaning forward and trailing off. I took a deep breath and finally gave in the talking.

"Last night I just saw Harry and someone I-It's not that big of a deal." I herd Mae sigh.

"El I'm sorry." Lia said.

"Yea." I whispered under my breath.

I got up and placed my pop tart on the counter starting to walk to Lias room. I turned around hearing a phone go off thinking it was mine.

"Shit." Mae said taking a spoonful of cereal and standing up..

"Hmm?" Lia said with a mouth full of milk.

"I gotta go I'm supposed to be working on a science project right now." Mae said rushing to Lias room gathering her stuff.

"On a Saturday afternoon?" Lia said following her.

"I don't know my partner has a church picnic thing all day tomorrow and the projects due Monday so."

"How are you gonna get there?" I said quietly. Mae loudly sighed and threw her shoulders down.

"Take me?" Mae said smiling while looking at Lia.

"Fine come on." Lia said walking out the door.

"I'm okay I'll be here when you get back." I said as they nodded their heads and walked out the door.

I herd the door open and keys being placed on the table. I saw Lia walk into her room as I was laying on the bed, but I didn't look.

"What are you doing?" She asked. I turned my phone towards her showing her I was playing a game.

I took a deep breath and turned my phone off looking at her. I remembered something I wanted to ask her so I sat up and started talking.

"Hey what's your Twitter password?"

"Hmm?" She said trying to sound sidetracked.

"You changed it right?"

"Well yea-"

"Why?" I asked abruptly. She took a minute stuttering to reply.

"I think Mae was logged in."

"And?" I asked raising my eyebrows. She started silent not knowing what to say.

"Lia!" I yelled causing her to jump.

"Okay okay people are... talking." She paused.

"About?" I asked becoming antsy.

"Oh just Harry." I continued to stare at her.

"And... you." She said making her voice fade. I felt my heart drop as I remembered the one comment I had saw on her account that one day.

"What are they saying?" I said trying not to react.

"O-Oh nothing they're just... talking." Lia said not looking at me. I knew exactly what she was talking about, but I needed to hear she say it to make myself believe it. I tried staring at her as I could feel my heart beating harder and harder.

"Liana." I said trying to make her give in. She closed her eyes and squinted them before sighing.

"It's not good stuff El. It's bad I can't have you seeing it-"

"But I have to." I said under my breath looking down.
