**Previously**

I moved over giving up. I hated feeling alone. I hated that fucking feeling. So I moved. I rested my left arm under Slate and my right on his chest resting my head on his chest. 

I felt him tense, then relax as he moved his arm to wrap around my waist. I closed my eyes and smiled, loving the feeling of laying with Slate, I moved my leg so it was touching his. I felt my heart begin to relax, and my breathing settle.

I was happy. Again. With Slate, right between my arms.

This is one hell of a night.

I laid there. For what felt like minutes. Me and Slate. Slate and I. Just us. Together. In his bed.

"I'm sorry about tonight" I whispered taking a deep breath in and out. I felt his warm breath fall down my face. I adjusted my hand so it landed on his stomach where I felt his muscles under his shirt. I smiled and felt him move my hair out of my face. 

"Nothing to apologize for, it ended alright." He said proudly

 I scoffed before I felt him move his hand from my waist to my face wiping my wet eyes. 

"Why are you crying?" He asked putting his arms completely around me. 

"Levin told me something that freaked me out." I moved my hair so it was resting behind my back as Slate kept correcting the rest of my hair out my face. 

"What did he say?'' He asked moving his legs under mind and rubbing our feet together. 

"He told me..." I stopped, getting up and starring at Slate in the eyes, he sat up too, noticing my hesitation, he grabbed my hand. "...he told me that you were kinda a player to..." I sighed one more time and looked down at his hand on my mine blushing. "... too many girls." I complete looking at him. He laughed, then let go of my hand. 

"I'm still a virgin so that's not possible." He laughed again laying back down. I didn't, I just moved back to my original position laying on my side on the left end of the bed. 

"I dated a girl named Ally." Slate explained. I sat back up putting my hands in my crossed legs looking down at them as he continued to talk. 

"Ally was my first love. Or at least...I think." He looked at me when he said that but quickly looked away.

 "Anyway, we went on a date; and I told her that. Of course, she didn't fucking say it back." I saw the tears in his eyes start to form as he clenched his fists together. I grab his hands he and he stares at me relaxing them. 

"I wanted to have sex with her, but she didn't. We got into a stupid fight and then I texted Ava, and she told me everything." I looked at him in surprise. What did Ava have to do with any of this?
