He got out of the car, slamming the door behind him. "Fucking hell." He grumbled as he marched up the stairs of his best friends house.

"She did." He announced as he flung the unlocked door open. Sydney and Sean was cuddling on the couch, but instantly jumped apart when they saw he tear streaks running down his face. "Mark, what?" Sydney asked as she inched closer to him. Sean immediately stood up behind her, "You okay?" He asked. "Obviously not Sean. He's crying for heavens sake." Sydney harshly whispered to him.

"She cheated on me with that Michael kid." Mark whimpered. "Wait.. What?" Sydney asked, instantly wrapping her arms around her best friend. "I went to get my S-SD card out of the car a-and he was there, saying how she's a-amazing in bed and all this other stuff." He hiccuped.

"Shh. Shh. Hey, hey. Mark, they were together in the past. The past. He could just be talking about then." Sydney whispered, holding her friend carefully. "She's right Mark." Sean agreed. "I don't know Syd." He whispered, "He seems like that person that would brag about getting laid.. Especially to the girls boyfriend.."

"He's a dick." Sydney agreed. "But. Pandora wouldn't do that to you, Mark." Mark just stayed silent. "Mark? You honestly think she'd do that?" Sean asked. "I don't know anymore." He whispered back.

Sydney slowly pulled away, looking up at Mark. "I promise you that if she did cheat on you, I'll beat that bitch into the ground." Sydney started playfully, trying to lighten the mood. "But I promise she wouldn't." She finished, staring at him. "But isn't she your best friend?" Mark asked, "What happen to that girl code? You know, 'fries before guys'? Or something like that.. Or it might have been 'chicks before dicks'.."

Sydney let out a soft chuckle. "You're still my best friend, Markimoo."

"I know. and you'll always be mine." He smiled sadly at her.

"Mark, why don't you go to the guest room for the night?" Sean offered. "Yeah.. I guess." He mumbled as he walked up the stairs. "Should we call her?" Sean asked his girlfriend while he was twiddling his thumbs.

Sydney nodded, sighing as she did. "Alright." He said as he stood up, his phone in his hand. "I'll be back." Sydney nodded once again before settling back on the couch, a frown now etched on to her features.

He walked outside, softly shutting the door behind him. "Hey Panda.." Sean shakily said into the phone once she had picked up. "Can you come over?" He asked.

"-alright. See you in a few." He said. He let out a breath of air before turning around and walking inside.

"She'll be here in a few Syd." Sean stated. Sydney instantly stood back up and started pacing around the room, biting on her lip. "What's wrong honey?" He asked, "-and don't say nothing because we both know something is wrong." She let out a huff before stiffing in the middle of the room, the taste of metallic on her tongue from chewing on her lip. "What if she did cheat on Mark?" The doorbell rang; both of their head instinctively turning toward the door, "Then I guess we're about to find out, aren't we?" He muttered.

Sydney breathed in deeply before nodding, pursing her lips as she walked to the door. She glanced back at Sean before opening it. "What's up?" Pandora asked once she stepped into the cozy apartment, "You guys never call this late to hang out." She stated as she shrugged off her jacket, "Oh. And have you heard from Mark? He was supposed to edit his video and never came back inside."

Sydney jaw instantly clenched, her arms folding as she glared daggers at Pandora. "Woah. What's wrong with you?" She asked Sydney as she backed up. In all honesty, Sydney was fucking scary when she was pissed; and that's why Pandora always made sure not to make her mad.

"You. You and fucking Michael. He made sure to share the information that you were 'great in bed' when he was outside of your fucking apartment. Not only did he say that, but he said it to Mark. Your boyfriend." Sydney hissed as she stepped closer, Pandora backing up with every step Sydney made it until she was successfully pinned to a wall. "Mind explaining why Mark is asleep in out guest room right now?"

"What?" Pandora was genuinely confused, "What the hell are you talking about? I never 'fucked' Michael. That was in the past. I told you, I'd NEVER hurt Mark like that." She said as she tried to move away from Sydney. Sean was just standing in the back, watching.

Sydney instantly had her arms at either side of Pandora. "Well your ex boy toy made it seem like you two still had a thing. So maybe you'd like to explain why he was outside of your apartment in the first place."

"How the hell should I know?! He's probably one of the crazy stalkers or he's still pissed because of what I told him at the cafe." Pandora growled, "and why do you care anyways? And also, you know I hate Michael, so why in the fucking hell would I hook up with someone I hate? Especially when I have an amazing guy."

"Does the phrase 'hate sex' pop up into that little head of yours? Mark walking in crying over this. It may not matter to you," Sydney started as she pressed her hand against Pandora's shoulder, pressing her harder against the wall. "but it does to me."

"It does matter to me." She spat as she shoved Sydneys hand off of her shoulder, "You don't believe me, do you?"

"At the moment? No I fucking don't."

Pandora sighed before walking away from Sydney. She sat on the couch before looking between the two people that mattered most in her life, "I think I know why Michael said that.." She started. "And why is that?" Sydney almost growled as she crossed her arms. "He hates me. My brother hates me. What better way to get revenge then get rid of the most important people in my life? That's the best revenge they could have do." She sighed before her eyes concentrated onto the carpeted floor. "But if you don't believe me, then I'll go. Tell Mark I'll have my things out by tomorrow."

"If that's true, then why the hell don't you explain that to Mark?"

"He didn't give me a chance! He didn't even come back inside!" She fought back. "Bet he didn't tell you that, did he?"

"So now you're going to be a cocky bitch?"

"Maybe I am." Pandora rolled her eyes, "Maybe I am because the only three people I care about; are fucking pissed at me for something that isn't even true!" She stood up before walking toward the door.
