*Kian's PV*

I walk downstairs to the living room and find Jc.

"So you ready to tell me the truth about what happened?" I ask.

"I think you know," he says with a sly smile.

"I don't understand how you could do this?"

"I was pissed off at everyone. I knew I could make Erin upset by kissing Annie, and I knew it'd make you mad too. I stepped on her foot so she'd scream and you guys would run out and find us."

"I think you should get out of my house," I say.

"No that won't be happening," Jc laughs. I spot someone moving around on the steps behind Jc. Erin's head pokes around the corner and she nods her head at me.

"And what makes you say that?" I ask.

"Because I'm staying here with Copeland and Erin."

"You really think Erin's going to keep believing this lie?" I ask.

"Please, Erin believes any lie I tell her."

"Oh do I?" Erin asks as she walks all the way down the steps and into the living room.

"You what?" Jc asks trying to act like he didn't say what he just did.

"I heard everything Jc. Kian's right you should leave."

"But what about me and you?" He asks.

"I think you made your decision a while ago," she says.

"Fine then I guess I'm leaving," he says as he gets up from the couch.

*Annie's PV*

When I wake up from a good four hour nap I check my phone. There's another missed call from Kian. I guess he's not going to leave me alone.

I toss my phone onto the bed and get up. With every movement my head spins causing me to feel like I'm about to throw up. I get into my suitcase and pull out a bottle if Advil and take one hoping that it'll help my head.

A knock at the door grabs my attention. I get up and steady myself. I eventually get to the door and open it. Sam stands in the doorway.

"Hey. What's up?" I ask.

"I just came by to see if you were alright," he says.

"I'm fine. You don't need to check on me," I say.

"Look I know how much you mean to Kian and I'm not going to let anything happen to you."

"If I mean so much to him why'd he do this to me then?" I ask.

"He made a mistake. Everyone does. You made one last night going to that party and getting drunk."

"That wasn't a mistake on my part, that was a reaction to a mistake that Kian made," I state.

"Well mistake or not I know you regret doing it."

I bite my lip trying not to say what I'm thinking. "I do not."

He gives me a look as if telling me to tell the truth. "Fine. I do regret it."

"That's what I thought," he says. I roll my eyes.

"Well I'm fine, you can go now. You don't need to check on me anymore. I won't do anything stupid."

"I know you won't but I need to tell you something."

"Fine. Come on in." I open the door all the way and let him in. I take a seat on the bed and he pulls up a chair in front of me then takes a seat. "So what's going on?" I ask.

"I talked to Kian," he says.

"You didn't tell him did you?"

He has a guilty look spread across his face.

"Sam, I trusted you! Why would you tell him?"

"He had to know Annie. He found out that Jc was lying."

"That's not the point though. I don't care anymore if he believed what I told him or not. He broke up with me over it. That's the point. Now he's going to swoop in here like Prince Charming and then everything's going to be the way it was again, right? Everything will go back to normal until something else hits the fan and our relationship blows up in our faces again and again."
