(A/N: I just went and altered a few thing in the previous chapters so you might want to reread them before reading this but it's nothing major)

"I dare you....... to kiss Ross."

I froze, my heart beating faster.

"What?"

"Kiss. Ross." He repeated, like I was dumb.

"No, sorry" I went over to the edge of the pool, I felt physically sick with anxiety.

"Oh come on! You have to! You chose dare." Riker teased.

"I can't... I can't do that." Pushing myself out of the water.

The others looked a little taken aback that I was actually getting out of the pool and Ross looked kinda hurt in a way.

"I'm sorry."

"Molly wait!" I heard Rocky call.

I stood up and ran back inside, up to Rydel's room and shut the door. That's the first time I've gotten that anxious since I was about 13. I stood there for a second thinking about what had happened before getting dried off then I changed into some of the clothes I'd bought earlier. Then I switched on the tv and sat on the bed and tried to control my breathing. I waited for Rydel or any of them - well maybe not Ross- to come up because I sure as hell was not going back down there. They're all going to thing I'm weird for over reacting so much, it's only been a few days since I met them and they're probably already going to hate me... But I couldn't have kissed him like that. Not after what happened, it was only a matter of a few weeks ago. He didn't even remember me, that just shows how many girls he plays. But now they're all going to ask me why I freaked out so much, maybe I should've just done it. Urgh I don't know.

After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." I mumbled.

The door softly swung open and Rocky came in.

"Hey, you okay?" He came in and sat down on the bed next to me.

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Why did that get to you so much? All you had to say was no, we all would've understood."

"It's nothing. It really doesn't matter anymore." I gave him a soft smile, "anyway, I'm going to the bathroom." I didn't really have to pee.

I got up to leave but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back so I was sitting next to him again.

"Molly... You can tell me, I promise I won't tell the others."

I sighed. Should I tell him? I'm just gonna tell him "ok... It was a month or so back, and I was in a club and Ross and I kinda danced for like the whole night and we kissed and he doesn't even remember and we weren't even that drunk and I feel.... I just feel so stupid for thinking it meant something when it's obvious now it meant nothing and...." I started to cry, which was unusual for me as I'm usually quite a strong person and I act like I don't give a shit about anything. It's quite rare to see my cry.

He pulled me into a hug.

"Hey, it's okay. Ross is a dick. We all know that." He said, releasing me. "He wasn't always like this though, he used to be super nice and caring but then something's changed in him and none of us know what happened." He placed my hand on my shoulder. "Please don't feel stupid, because you're not at all."

"Thank you Rocky, you're such a good friend." I hugged him.

Rocky stayed with me for a while and we watched a few minutes of toy story 3 on netflix before Delly came and told us that the pizza her and the boys ordered had arrived so we went down stairs.

I already knew that Rocky and I were going to be great friends. He was already acting like the big brother I had always wanted.

They had ordered 2 large pepperoni, a large cheese and a large Hawaiian.

"Yassssss, hawaiian's my favourite!" I smiled.

"Mine to," said Ross as he came from behind me, sliding his arm between my arm and my waist and grabbed a slice of pizza. "What a coincidence."

I could feel my cheeks turning red. I ignored it and gave him a fake laugh.

"WHO WANTS TO WATCH A MOVIE?"

"ME!" We all chorused.

After a lot of debate we decided to watch the conjuring.

"But I hate horrors!" Ryland moaned.

"I love themmmmmm!" I smiled.

"Yeah because you're all like alternative and grunge."

"I'm actually not." I retorted.

"Guys shh, it's starting." Rydel whispered.

We all settled down to eat our pizza. I sat between Rocky and Rydel with Ross sitting at the far side of the room and everyone else filtered between.

I picked at my pizza for a while before deciding I had no appetite and put it back on my plate.

I lay back and got comfy with my legs across Rocky and my head on Rydels knees. I could see Rocky getting more and more scared as the movie went on, and my leg was suffering.

"Um, Rocky?"

"Mhm?" he nodded, barely taking his eyes away from the screen.

"Mind not squeezing my leg so hard? It's going numb."

He looked at me, then the screen, then his hand, realisation flooded his face, soon followed by a blush as he quickly pulled his hand back. We all burst out laughing and I swivelled my legs round so I was sitting upright again.

"Oh c'mon Rocky, it's not that scary." Riker teased.

"Pfft, what? I'm not scared of some stupid movie."

We continued to watch the movie for a while but I could feel myself drifting off.

I was woken up about an hour by someone shaking my shoulders. I raised my foot and kicked them where the sun don't shine.

"Ooooft."

"Oh shit, Rocky, sorry" I said, bolting up just in time to see Rocky doubling over clutching at his pants.

"It's fine." he said, his voice strained.

"In my defence you shouldn't have tried to wake me.... Where are the others?"

"They went up to bed but I was watching the TV. I didn't want to wake you but I kind of had too, I couldn't leave you lying on the floor" He came and sat next to me.

"Hmm, I suppose." I laughed.

We sat there in awkward silence for a minute.

Before Rocky leaned in.

And pressed his lips to mine.

For a second I was to stunned to move or react.

He pulled away.

"Oh shit, I'm sorry." He blushed furiously.

"No..." I said, turning away from him. "It's fine."

"I'm sorry." he repeated, backing away. "I've just fucked everything up."

"What?" I questioned. But he just shook his head before turning and walking up the stairs.

Woah.

Rocky fucking lynch just kissed me.

But I don't like him like that, he's like my brother.

I didn't kiss back so I couldn't be leading him on in anyway.

I couldn't stop thinking about it all night until I fell asleep still lying on the sofa.
