"Ugh," I groan as I sit up, my head pounding, "Why the hell did I drink so much?"

I look around the room and stop when I see Ethan sleeping in my bed, "No, no, no, no, no." I stand up and run a hand through my hair, "Oh, my God, what'd we do?"

"Relax," Ethan groans as he wakes up, "I was barely drunk, you were very drunk. I wasn't going to take advantage of you like that."

"So what'd we do?"

"We just made out." he looks at me, "It was great, but I wasn't going to go further."

"Thank you."

"I should probably get home. I left my car at the dudes house." he stands up and I nod, "Should I go out the front way or--"

"Probably not, Ill go down and check." I respond and quickly walk downstairs. Both the kitchen and living room empty. I quickly walk upstairs and walk Ethan out, "Do you want me to come with you?"

"No, that's okay. Take advil for your head."

"You, too." I respond and he walks away. I shut the door and put my head against it, looking at the floor. The door then opens and I stumble back, Mariana standing there.

"Why did I see Ethan walking out from your driveway?" she asks and I look at her, then look away, "No! Sky! No way! Did you --"

"No! We made out and he didn't want to take advantage of me or anything."

"Aw, why can't Grayson be as sweet and polite as Ethan? They're twins." she rolls her eyes and I shrug, "I need to shower." I walk upstairs and go into the bathroom. Mariana goes in my room and waits.

Once done, I walk back into my room and grab the Advil out of my nightstand drawer. "So, you guys only made out?"

"Yes."

"Do you like him?"

"Not like that." I respond, "Not at all like that."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! I could never see myself dating Ethan, plus he's one of my best friends. It'd be too awkward. And who knows what Grayson would do?"

"Fuck, Grayson!" she exclaims, "Seriously! He's not your boyfriend anymore, he's an asshole! You don't need his okay! If you wanna date Ethan, date Ethan. If you wanna be best friends with Cameron, be best friends with her. If you want to date his best friend, go for it. He can't tell you what and what not to do."

"Just with Ethan, Mariana, it's hypocritical." I respond, "I flipped on him making out with my twin sister."

"He cheated on you, so many times. He was a douche to you. You were nothing but amazing to him and you never cheated on him. It's not the same. It's not hypocritical."

"Either way, I don't like Ethan that way."

"Fine. But if you ever do, go for it."

"I will, he's hot anyways."

"Exactly, he's hot and considerate, perfect match."

I walk into the kitchen to see everybody sitting at the table, "What is this? An intervention?"

"Yes, sit." my mom says and I look at Sawyer who widens his eyes. I groan and sit at the table next to Sawyer.

"Why am I here? And why am I stuck in the middle of them?" Sawyer asks,

"Why am I here? We're not even fighting."

"Because this family is slowly falling apart and I will not have it!" my mom says and my dad looks at us, raising his eyebrows. "So what's everyone mad at?"

"Skylar." Sophia blurts and I look at her,

"I didn't do anything."

"You told everyone at the party Im pregnant!"

"You made out with Grayson!" I exclaim,

"Jesus, again, Sophia?" Sawyer asks,

"Shut up, Sawyer. You guys aren't even together anymore so it shouldn't matter!"

"You're my twin sister! You're supposed to hate him, too! Then again, you knew he cheated before and you seduced him into sleeping with you to get back at me!"

"You did what?" my dad asks and Sawyer looks back at Sophia,

"You had no reason to bring that up!" she exclaims,

"And did you sleep with him again last night? You left right after he did and went the same way."

"What do you care, you went home with Ethan!"

"Skylar!" my mom exclaims and I look at her,

"He walked me home! We didn't do anything!" I say,

"God, this is entertaining." Sawyer laughs and I look at him,

"May I be excused?" I ask,

"Yes." my dad says,

"No!" my mom exclaims, "You guys are twins and this is getting ridiculous!"

"Getting?" I ask,

"I'm only mad because you told everyone at the party."

"They'd find out anyways, Sophia. At least I didn't say who the father is." I respond and she looks at me,

"I just went to make sure you were going to get home safe."

"And thank you for that, but can you all admit you were just a spy for mom and dad?"

"Not for me." my dad coughs and my mom glares at him,

"I was worried about you at a party full of alcohol, sue me." she says, "I'm your mother, I had every right."

"Well, I'm okay." I look at them, "You're right, I shouldn't have blurted out that you're pregnant and I'm sorry."

"Thank you." she says and Sawyer and I look at her, "And I'm sorry I made out with Grayson."

"Why'd you do it anyways?"

"We were talking and it sorta just happened." she says, "I really don't have better reasoning."

"This a messed up situation." Sawyer laughs, "And I'm literally in the middle of this."

"Alright, now that that's all sorted out, Sawyer."

"What did I do?"

"You punched Grayson."

"He's fine, you're overreacting."

"You cannot go around punching people!" my mom exclaims,

"Hun, he was protecting his sister, its fine." my dad says, "There's no need to punish any of them. It's been a hard couple of months as it is."

"Fine." she says,

"May I be excused?" I ask,

"Yes." my mom says and I get up, grabbing my keys and going out to my car. That resolved nothing we just told everyone what had happened, completely pointless. I put the key into the door to unlock it and someone walks up,

"Looks like I'm not the only one fooling around with the others twin."
