"Frankie get down here!" Craig yelled.
Frankie got off the bunk and once she was out of the way, Craig reached up and pulled Max down, almost knocking him to the floor in the process, and pulled him out to the living room, Frankie followed.
Monte and Robert looked up, not knowing what was going on.
"What did I tell you guys about sleeping with her?" Craig said.
"We weren't sleeping together..we kissed..that was it." Max said.
"Kissing falls under the category too." Craig said.
Max rolled his eyes. Craig looked at Frankie. "Frankie..is this the first time you and Max have kissed?"
"Yes." Frankie said. Lie.
"Promise me?" Craig said.
Frankie nodded. "I promise. We haven't done anything else and this was the first time we kissed or anything..which was unintentional." she said. Lie. There we go again with that word "promise".
Craig nodded. "Alright." he said.
"I'm going to bed." Frankie said and went back to the bunks.
Craig looked at all of them. "I'm only going to say this once more. No kissing and no touching or looking at her inappropriately and especially no fucking."
"What if we're drunk?" Monte said.
"You don't drink." Craig said.
"Not me in general..I mean Max." Monte said.
Max looked at them. "Why are we talking about me?" he asked.
"Because you do get drunk and you do sleep with people." Robert said.
Max rolled his eyes. "Okay, dude, we promise not to touch her or kiss her or think about her while we're masturbating in the shower."
"I'm serious Max." Craig said.
"So am I. I'd never do anything with Frankie..she's not my type." Max said.
Frankie could hear them because she had yet to fallen asleep yet. When Max said that, she felt her eyes swell up with tears and had to roll over and bury her face in her pillow.
"You don't have to worry about me. I got Jessica." Robert said.
"Yeah and Frankie doesn't really talk to me that much anyways, so." Monte said.
Craig nodded. "I just don't want her getting hurt..and if she falls for any of you..especially you, Max, I know she'll end up getting hurt."
"You say that like I use women or something." Max said.
"Well..I mean..you kinda do..if you look at it." Robert said.
"Hey, whose side are you on?" Max asked, looking at Robert.
"No one's...I'm just stating the obvious. You get what you need from them and then leave them." Robert said.
"Hit it and quit it." Monte said.
"Fuck you guys." Max said, getting up and going outside to smoke.
"Well..I'm going to bed. I got to get up to call Jessica in the morning." Robert said.
"Yeah, I'm going too." Monte said.
"Night guys." Craig said as they walked back to the bunks.

"Please tell me you have another cigarette?" Craig said as he found Max.
"Maybe." Max said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a cigarette and his lighter.
