Jason's POV

"We were in eighth grade, and Cora and I were sitting together during home room. Usually she would read, and I would talk to whoever say beside me that day." That made Emma snort, even though it wasn't that funny. "Well, she had just finished 'Catching Fire' and had nothing else with her to read, so she got out her sharpie and started drawing on my arm. I didn't argue, I just watched. She wrote things like 'Cora wuz here' and little quotes that she had seen in her books. One of them one a love quote. It said, 'Maybe okay will be our always'. I had recognized the book, so I knew what it meant. While she continued to draw on my arm, I thought about all the things we had done together, all of us. But it seemed that often, Cora and I had shown affections for each other that we didn't show to anyone else. To be honest, the second she looked up from my arm and told me to judge her masterpiece, I started loving her." I remembered the day so well, and it felt good to tell someone other than Adam about it.

"Okay.... then why did you go out with all those other girls if you knew you loved her." I knew the answer to Emma's question, I just wasn't happy about answering it.

"You see, one day, only a few weeks after Cora drew on my arm, some guy that had a crush on Cora told me that she didn't like me in that way, and that I might as well get over her." I take a deep breath before continuing. "The next day, he asked her out as she accepted. That was so disappointing for me, that I decided that I would try to love other girls. But really, I loved Cora all along." Emma tries to take in what all I just said.

"Now, I know what I'm about to tell you isn't really my story to tell, but I think you deserve to know." Now I was listening. "That same guy that Cora went out with, well he and Cora were in some book club together and they were friends. Well, one day Cora trusted him with the secret of who she liked. She told him that she liked you. But since he liked her, the same day that he told you that she didn't like you in the same way, he told her that he had spoken to you, and that you had said that you didn't want to be with her like that." I inhale sharply. I never liked that guy, he was a needy little freak. "The thing is though, that Cora quickly broke up with him after talking to Adam about it. But by then you were already going out with all those girls, and you guys stayed friend zoned. Although Adam and I could always tell that you liked her, dude, you were one horny 14 year old." I couldn't help but laugh at Emma's remark.

"Okay then." I smile to myself.

"So, thank you for telling Jason that tidbit of information." Oh God, Cora was a wake with her arms crossed over here chest staring at us angrily, but her expression softened when she looked at me. "I don't appreciate you telling my personal business to anyone, but Jason is my boyfriend so I guess it's okay." With that, Emma got up and walked out of the room. Nothing but awkward silence between Cora and I was left.

"So, yep..." Was all I could say. This was just too awkward. She continued to stare at me with this rock-hard expression.

"You are going to hold Emma down while I murder her ruthlessly, kay? Kay." Okay.... She's not mad at me. Sorry Emma, better you than me.

"Um....."

"Yesh.... YESH!" Cora jumped up from the bed and walked out the door abruptly.

"EMMA! RUUUUN!" I yelled frantically at Emma.

"Waht?" Emma, TAKE A HINT!

"Run! Cora's going to fucking kill you!"

"What?" Was Emma serious?

"Emmaaaaaa!" Yep, Emma was going to die.i could see Cora stomping towards her.

"Oooooooh! So, I need to run, from Cora. Okay." Emma was just now getting that?

Cora was now madly trying to trip and/or capture Emma. Wasn't working out very well.... Hmmmmm. How did I end up with these people?!

"Okay, TRUCE!" Emma held her hands up for a truce, but Cora just stared at her, they all needed some help *face palm*.

"What do I get in return?" Cora was attempting to negotiate, now we were getting somewhere.

"Um.... I'll give you ONE kitkat?" Cora's expression went from murderous to willing.

"Fine." And she simply walked out of the room, dafuq?

"Are we all okay?" Emma gave me a look that seemed to indicate that I was hopeless.

"Naw dip sherlock."

"Hey, it was a valid question." What, is it a crime to want to keep all your friends in one piece? "Hey, do you know way time it is?" I ask.

"IT'S ADVENTURE TIME!" Cora yells from the other room.

"No... It's time for all of you to shut the fuck up and let me sleep." We had all forgotten that Adam was sleeping on the couch.

"Oh sorry..." I muttered.

"Oh, and by the way, you're sleeping on the couch tonight too." Cora was kicking me out?! Well, I guess I sorta deserved it.

"Stfu!" I called back.

"You all realize that we are so pose to be moving in with Team Crafted tomorrow right?" Shit, I had completely forgotten.

"Psh! No. But in that case.... GOODNIGHT!"

"GOODNIGHT!" Emma and Cora screamed back.

"LOVE YOU!" Was the last thing Cora said.
