"I can't believe you lost Arden's necklace!" Taya says for the hundredth time. The group of friends say as they search for the lost item. "It's not my fault!" proclaims Ari. "I didn't even know it was that special!" "You lost one of her most expensive necklaces," Chris says, "it's not like money grows from trees." "It was also a gift from Hayden for their anniversary." Adds Dustin. Ari groans and covers her face. "Thanks for
the support guys. I know I could always count on you." She says sarcastically. Just then, they heard the front door slam down the hallway. Ari's eyes widen and whisper-yells at her friends. "My room now! Before she catches us!" they all nod in union. They managed to get to Ari's room safely, but they don't miss the screaming that they over hear down the hall. "I don't want to hear your excuses Hayden!" It was Arden's voice. From what the gang hears. "Arden look im sorry-" "Sorry won't cut it Hayden! You. Cheated." The group look at each other. Is it true? Hayden cheated on Arden? "No way..." Taya says under her breath. "I didn't mean
to Arden I swear." They can hear Hayden speak softly. "I leave you for one second, and you go off and cheat!" Arden counters. It goes silent after that. "I should go out there..." Chis says about to get up. "Are you crazy?" Dustin almost yells. "Arden's going to question why you're here and it's going to jeopardize all of us!" Ari nods. "He's right. It would be collateral damage if we go out there. Plus, this is a conversation they should be having alone anyway." "This is the beginning of the end..." Chris says as he facepalms.An hour passes and the four friends are still stuck in Ari's room. "I feel like a fish out of water." Taya complains. "When are they going to stop arguing?" "Only time will tell." Dustin states as he is lying on the floor staring at Ari's ceiling. "I'm ordering
pizza." They hear Arden say from the kitchen. "Hello? Yes, I'd like a large box
of pepperoni." "We can't finish a large box Arden..." They hear Hayden say. "Please just get a medium..." "Yup! That's all!" Arden says, completely ignoring Hayden. "Damn," Chris says, "I've raised her well." He says proud of his best friend. "That's it." Ari says Getting up from her bed. This has been going on for way too long. We're going out there. I'll deal with the consequences myself guys." They all run out the room and crowd their two friends. "Hayden we can't believe you! How could you do that to Arden!" Dustin exclaims. Arden and Hayden
looked confused. They were sitting together watching a movie on the tv. "What do you mean?" "We know you two broke up..." Says Taya. "WHAT?" Hayden exclaims loudly. Arden bursts out in laughter. "Me and Hayden? When did we ever break up?" Ari
flails her hands at Hayden. "He CHEATED on you! And you guys are still together?!" Arden is now rolling on the floor. Hayden sighs. "We were playing a video game. And I killed her BY ACCEDENT BY THE WAY." Arden rolls her eyes. "Whatever." The
doorbell rings and they get their pizza. "By the way," Arden says as they all
start eating. "Why are you guys all here anyway?" Taya, Chris and Dustin all
snicker a chorus of "Rest in Peace Ari." Ari scratches the back of her head. "Well you see...."
