I wake up to someone rubbing my shoulder. I open my eyes and look up. Ethan is smiling down at me. I smile up."'Morning."

    "Morning. How long have you been up?"

    "Just got up before you. I was gonna get out of bed, but you started to stir." I smile and cuddle closer to him, nuzzling into the crook of his neck. He suppresses a giggle, though not hiding it well.

    "Right. You're still ticklish." I say, reluctantly stopping my nuzzling. After a few seconds of quiet cuddling and him playing with my hair (every girl's dream), he gets up.

    "I'm gonna get some breakfast, and then maybe we can go see a movie?"

    "Sounds great, since I never get to finish a movie with you, even last night I fell asleep before the end." He laughs while opening the door.

    "Ironically, one of us always falls asleep as if for plot-convenience." I smile, and he walks out, closing the door behind him. I get up and stretch, and I feel happiness bubble inside me like some sort of warm and soapy bubble bath. I am officially Ethan Nestor's girlfriend! I hug myself as if to keep from bouncing off the walls. I take a deep breath.

    "Calm yourself, Alexandra, you have to get ready." I open my bag. I grab a pair of teared skinny jeans and my new Undertale t-shirt. I put on the outfit and take out my phone. No notifications. I have a feeling this is gonna be a good day! I pull on my socks (my sneakers are at the door), take my phone, and head out. As soon as I open the door I hear someone yelling.

    "-AND TO THINK I ACTUALLY STARTED TO TRUST THAT BITCH!" I freeze. Mark sounds really upset... maybe I should go back into the room for now. I start to open up the door again when I hear footsteps, and Mark stomps around the corner. There is no warming welcome in his dark brown eyes. Only pure hatred and mistrust. "How long have you been standing there."

    "J-just left m-my room." I stutter, not even trying to hide how scared I am. He grabs my wrist and drags me into the other room. I gasp in pain. "Ow! Mark, what're you-" I stop as I walk into the room. Ethan is standing behind the kitchen island, and he looks close to tears. Mark lets me go so I'm on the other side of the counter, across from Ethan. He glares at both of us.

    "Does someone want to explain?" His voice is calm, but it's deadly as hell. If looks could kill, I would be on the floor drowning in my own blood. I try to keep myself from freaking out. I start to shake and my breathing gets shallow. I'm in danger of another panic attack.

    "Wh-what do you mean?"

    "Last night. What happened." I swallow, trying not to hyperventilate.

    "Well... Ethan offered to watch a movie with me. So we watched, and..." I turn crimson. Mark gives me a hard look.

    "I knew it."

    "Knew what?"

    "YOU FUCKED MY FRIEND IN MY FUCKING HOUSE!" He yells, slamming a fist on the table. "WAS THIS YOUR PLAN ALL ALONG, TO GET WITH HIM AFTER MEETING HIM AT PAX?" I gawk at him.

    "What? No! I would never-"

    "Don't even try, Alex. Isn't it obvious? Now, please explain why you thought this was a good idea to do this in my FUCKING HOUSE!" He says, gradually getting louder.

    "I didn't have sex with Ethan! I can't believe you would accuse me of this out of the blue! We just met last week!" I say, exasperated. He shakes his head

    "Stop trying, you can't deny it. If you would just explain-"

    "No, Mark, you explain! Have I not proven to you yet that I'm to be trusted? I don't want any trouble!"

    "No, you don't. You just want to hook up with my friend." He says flatly. I feel anger boil inside me.

    "I JUST WANTED TO COME HERE, MAKE THE SHIRTS, AND LEAVE. IF YOU MUST KNOW THE REASON HE CAME TO ME IN THE FIRST PLACE IS BECAUSE HE HEARD ME HAVING A PRETTY MAJOR ANXIETY ATTACK!" I yell. Mark goes completely silent, face blank. I feel close to tears. "I was so scared on what to do. I finished the shirts, and I didn't know to stay or not, and I was so scared of you guys - my idols, my heroes - judging me on any decision. I had an anxiety attack, and ended up passing out. Ethan helped me, trying and succeeding to sooth my nerves, by watching one of my favorite movies with me." I say, choking back tears. "I fell asleep, and so did he. We did not do anything else."

    "You have no way to prove-"

    "NEITHER DO YOU! AND IF YOU CAN'T TRUST ME BECAUSE OF SOME REASON YOU DON'T CARE TO SHARE, THAN WHY AM I STILL HERE?! I'M LEAVING!" I shout.

I storm into the room and grab my computer and chargers. I leave my stuff I storm back out and to the door. I slip into my sneaker as I yank the door open.

"Wait!" I turn. Ethan is speed-walking towards me, holding an overnight bag. He takes my hand, looking into my eyes. "I'm going with her." He says to Mark, still looking at me. I shake my head.

    "You have to stay."

    "If I stay I'll never see you again." He says, looking on the verge of tears. I nod, and walk out the door. As I go to close it, I look back to Mark. He has fire in his eyes. You can almost see the smoke spewing from his ears.

    "I left my bag. You can look through everything, I don't care. I'll be back tomorrow so you can apologize to Ethan for not trusting his integrity and to me for assuming I'd take advantage of him like that. If you want to know more about me, go through my sketch pad. I lost my dignity long ago, so don't feel bad now." I say in a hard voice, tears welling in my eyes.

    "Fine." He snaps, crossing his arms.

    "I hope I can still call you my hero after this." I choke, and I slam the door.
