Camila
I woke up in the middle of the night to a crash in the kitchen. I looked at Thomas to see him under the covers in the bed next to me. Ethan was snoring softly as I wiggles out his grasp. I pulled his hand gently and sat up, smiling at how he was sleeping. I heard a glass shatter in the kitchen as I pulled the covers back over Ethan and walked out of the room, closing the door behind me.
"Hello?" I whispered softly walking barefoot down the wooden hall. I didn't get a reply back, I became more worried to who was in my house.

I made it into the kitchen and finally found out who was in my house. Jasmine was crashing into everything as she slurred her words, something she never does. She spotted me and smiled sadly as she stumbled over to me, putting all her weight in me as I used my strength to keep her up.
"Heyyyy Camila." She hiccuped.
"Why are you drunk Jas?" I said in a disappointing tone.
"I-I'm sorry for h-hitting you." She whines as she hiccuped. I gritted my teeth as I brought her over to the couch.
"DONT TOUCH ME!" She screamed and pushed me away.
"Keep your voice down please." I pleaded trying not to wake the boys up.

Ethan
My ears perked up when I heard females shouting in the living room. I noticed Camila was t next to me so I got worried Incase someone was inside the house trying to hurt her.
"DONT TOUCH ME!" I heard as I sat up straight, adjusting my sweatpants so they were twisted.

I peered around the corner to see Jasmine pushing Camila away. I knew Jasmine was drunk by the time of her voice and how she hiccuped every word she said.
"Keep your voice down please." Camila whispered putting Jasmine down on the couch gently.
"Are you ok?" I asked Jasmine as Camila gave me an uneasy look.
"W-Where's Grayson." Jasmine cried out as she tripped over her own feet making her fall in my chest.
"I'll call him, yeah?" I said giving Jasmine back to Camila as I reached for the house phone to call Grayson.

Hearing the three rings, Grayson picked up on the forth as he grumbled.
"Grayson, I need you to come get Jasmine. She's at our house right now and she showed up drunk." I said cautiously looking over at Camila who was running her back.
Grayson shuffled, probably getting on his shoes .
"Yeah of course." He said with a raspy voice before he hung up.

Camila has gotten the blanket from the couch and put it over Jasmine as she went in about how she thought the Earth was flat. Camila had tired eyes and she nodding her head to every word Jasmine was saying.
"Ethan?" A tiny voice said as I saw Thomas walking from the room running his eyes.
"Go back in the room." I whispered bending down.
"But I'm scared. I don't want to be alone." His lip quivered.

I picked him up as I huffed, setting him in the counter. I looked towards the door as I heard hurried knocks echo through the house. My feet padded in the hardwood floor as I unlocked the handle, opening the door to see a restless Grayson. He peered over my shoulder seeing Camila look at him and nods her head before turning back down to Jasmine.

He looked at my with anxious eyes as I opened the door fully, letting him come into the house as he ran over to check on Jasmine. Camila rolled her eyes at him as Grayson tried to shake Jasmines shoulder, waking her up before Camila slapped his hand away.
"Let me take her." Grayson said furrowing his brows as Camila shook her head no.
"You should have been watching over her more carefully. How did you not notice she ducking got drunk?" She asked getting in his face before I quickly separated the two before a fight could happen.
"Sorry that I had to look after her all day and all night u til she finally went asleep because she felt bad for hitting you." He growled pushing me back which made Camila mad.

She shoved me out of the way before getting close to Grayson and pushing him back, making him tumble. He closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she moved out of the way and let Grayson pick up Jasmine carefully, like she was a fragile china doll that could break at any moment. Grayson nudged Camilas shoulder as he passed her, making her take a few steps back before he glared at me and took Jasmine back out to his car and bucking her in the passengers seat before hoping in his own, driving away.

I sighed, closing the door making Thomas jump and Camila whimper. I whispered to Thomas to go back in the room and I would be there shortly as I steadily walked over to Cami, pulling her up and sitting her in my lap as I sat down. She pushed herself into my chest as her small cries damped my shirt creating big wet marks.
"I shouldn't have gotten in his face." She cried some more as I wrapped my arms securely around her and drew patterns on her back.
"We all do things we regret, but we can always fix them." I whispered in her ear as I played with her hair, attempting to braid it.

Camila led her back in her room as she slowly shuffled back under the sheets, padding next to her for me to get in. I blushed as I climbed under the sheets, pulling her closer with my arm. She help my hand as she drifted off to a deep sleep, mouth parting letting soft noises escape from her throat.

I smiled as I fell asleep soundly, nothing interrupting me from starting my dreams.

Camila
I thought about what Ethan said and how we can always fix things. I decided I'm going to ask Grayson to come over tomorrow so I could apologize and maybe restart with him, if he lets me......
