Somehow my phone ended up in my bra, and woke me up when it started vibrating. Ben's number was on the screen. I sighed and pressed answer.

I hopped out of bed and got dressed. I put on an Asking Alexandria shirt, and some black ripped skinny jeans. I decided to just wear some black vans instead of my 'I'm too damn lazy to tie my shoes' Moccasins.

I grabbed a granola bar before I left, and left a note for my brother saying I went out to visit an old 'friend'.

By the time I got to his house, I had already finished the granola bar. I was not going to last very long on a special K granola bar. I didn't want to look like a fatass though... Ugh, I'm overthinking everything!

I knocked on the door, and it seemed to open automatically. I shyly walked in and was welcomed by Danny and Sam smiling at me and waving. I gave a huge smile back to both of them, and Ben locked his fingers between mine, and gave both of them dirty looks. Danny looked at Sam, trying to hold in a laugh, Sam looking like he was about to throw up. Ever since the concert, Sam seemed unsettled, but today he just looked like he wanted to shoot himself in the head.

"Did he do something wrong?" I wondered aloud.

He didn't say anything, he just stared at the ground. He looked like he wanted to rip out all his hair. Just flat-out frustration.

"Ben.. Is uhm.. something bothering you?"

"N-no.. I'm fine. I just ... nevermind."

"Please tell me?" I gave him a comforting look, and rested my head on his shoulder.

"I'll tell you later, okay?!" He shouted.

I took the hint, lifted my head off his shoulder, and stood. I walked into the kitchen and sat at the table with Danny and Sam.

"Lacey! Hey sweetheart, want to know why Ben's angry?" He had this way of saying things that made it obvious he was joking. But right now, I really couldn't tell if he was being serious or not.

"Kinda, but if he doesn't want me to know, don't tell me..."

Sam looked unsettled, and kind of disturbed. He looked down and scanned the tile of the kitchen floor.

Danny glanced over at Ben, who had his head in his hands.

"Sam, James, and Cameron were wankin' over you. Ben was real pissed when he found out." He was talking quieter than before.

My mouth hung open, and my eyes grew wide.

"Ol' Ben is jealous one of em' might try to get you from 'im." Danny half-joked.

"I'M NOT FUCKING JEALOUS DANNY. SHUT UP!" Ben's voice was murderous, and Danny lifted his hands in surrender.

Sam lifted his head up, and gave me a small half smile, and ran up the stairs.

I looked at Danny. His face was blank, and he was staring at something behind me.

I turned and followed his blank stare. James and Cameron were standing in the doorway, staring at me, they were both turning red because they knew I had found out about what they did.

I stood up and sat on the couch next to Ben. He had his head buried in his hands, unmoving.

I grabbed a beer out of the fridge, chugged it, got another, chugged it, got another and etc.... Soon I was feeling a little light-headed and decided to scream out, "I fucking love penguins!"

I heard doors open and a few words being exchanged. Suddenly, my own body is to heavy to carry, and I feel myself falling to the floor. Danny, Cameron, Sam, and James all come down the stairs and make a circle around me. I could hear their laughter, booming through the house and causing me to wince at the loud noise. Ben suddenly popped between Danny and James, an amused look on his face.

"You're so drunk! I thought you were just being weird. I mean, penguins are fucking adorable, but nothing to scream about." The voice chuckled. Definitely Danny.

"Lacey, I didn't think you were the type to get drunk, you've made me so proud." Ben praised. I could hear them all laughing. Seconds late I'm pretty sure I passed out, because I don't remember anything after that.

I just woke up at home with Ben next to me, shirtless, and three condoms on the floor.

What the actual fuck?!

A/N:

I'm sorry for the length of - or lack of - this chapter. I'll try to make them longer!
