"How does your knee end up in my fuckin' gut?" April muttered underneath her breath the very moment she woke up.

"I don't even know," with her eyes still closed, Venus had replied.

"Well, can you move so I can breathe? You wouldn't want to kill me, would you?" April then thumped the top Venus's forehead.

"Ouch," Venus whined and touched her forehead, finally opening her eyes to look at her bestfriend, "If I wanted to kill you then I would have suffocated you with your own pillows."

"Sounds about white," April snorted.

"Shut up," Venus grumbled before retracting her knee from April's stomach, and instead allowing her legs to tangle with hers.

They were on their sides facing each other as they laid in the bed with their bodies close, covers all the way up to their necks. After what happened last night brought them closer emotionally, and as well as physically as well.

"I have to tell you something April," Venus says.

"What is it?" April asks curiously.

"It's about Kellen," Venus says fiddling with April's fingers underneath the covers.

April rolled her eyes, "I don't really wanna—,"

"It's serious, and you should know this," Venus says in a serious tone.

"Okay," April laced their fingers underneath the covers. "I'm listening."

Venus gulped, looking down for a moment then back up to April's eyes, "Over thanksgiving break Kellen and I hooked up at his house."

"Y-You guys did what?" April unlaced their fingers and propped herself up on her elbow with a bewildered and maddened look to her face.

"W-We hooked up," Venus repeated in a much more fragile tone. Scared at the look April was giving her, gulping once more. "I was—,"

"I just don't understand because you had me thinking that Kellen was this horrible guy in the beginning of all this, but in reality you didn't want us getting closer because you thought that your man was gonna hop on me, huh?" April seethed, now sitting upright with her back against the headboard.

"You know that is not true," Venus got defensive and sat upright.

"Then tell me the damn truth. I'm tired of being left out on things," April complains.

"I'm going to April. You just have to listen and understand where this all started," Venus sighs.

As stubborn as April is she would have told Venus that she didn't care and leave it at that. But the look in that Venus had in her eyes made April reconsider.

"We had been texting a few weeks before break," Venus starts. "Then one night he texted me asking if I could come over to his place. I went over, we got really drunk, and we had sex."
