It felt like the longest taxi ride back, the traffic was terrible and I'm surprised we even made it to the apartment.

Whenever we arrived, Charlie and Nash were watching a movie, so Cam and I joined as well.

"You should make popcorn." Cameron whispered, nuzzled up against me.

"What's wrong with your legs?" I whispered back, not finding any interest in getting out of this comfortable spot.

"C'mon babe." He grinned, and I eventually fell for it. Getting up off of the couch, I made my way towards the kitchen.

Charlie followed me, a blanket wrapped around her body. She held a tired look as well.

"Carter was sad when you guys left ya' know?" She asked, bringing up the wrong subject at the wrong time. I didn't feel like talking about this.

"Oh." I shortly replied, pulling a wrapped bag of popcorn out from his box, and putting it into the microwave for a minute and forty-five seconds.

"He thinks it's Maggie's fault." She said, "But I know it's not."

"How do you know it's not?" I asked her, keeping my hand glued to the microwave holder that was attached to the door of it.

"Nash told me." She admitted.

"Was Cameron really that mad?" She asked, and I nodded.

"He was pissed." The popcorn was taking forever, and I really didn't want to talk about this with her.

"Listen, Jessi." She said, "I'm not really a big fan of Maggie either but-"

"Who said I wasn't a 'big fan' of Maggie? I don't dislike her." I clenched my fist around the door handle of the microwave.

"Anyways," she cleared her throat, "I think Maggie makes Carter happy. Just like Cameron makes you happy. And, I don't want to see Carter get hurt because of this little incident which in my opinion I think is wrong. But if you could, try and stay out of their relationship." She was nicely saying these bitchy things, but honestly, I wanted to slap the hell out of her.

"You're right." I nodded, "God, I feel so bad. Thank you for clearing up this mess." I sarcastically thanked her, and she seemed to take it seriously.

"Well, someone needed to say it." She giggled.

I use to find her sweet, and fun to be around, but right now, I could stab myself in the eye.

"And I'm sorry if I came off a little bitchy. But, if this were you and Cam, I'd be sticking up for you guys too." She said, "I just- I want everyone to be happy.."

Now she was being herself again.

"It's okay." I said, right as soon as the timer went off.

"You don't have to wait on me," I smiled, "I'll be there in a minute."

She left, and I sighed in relief, happy I was alone. How could she say that I was going to break up Maggie and Carter. If anything, it's Cams fault, but there's no way I would blame him for this.

I carried the bag of popcorn into the living room, and laid back down in Cameron's hold.

He opened the bag, and filled his mouth with the popped kernels.

"Thank you." He leaned his head against mine, "This is why I love you."

"So, you love me because I fixed you popcorn?" I smiled, trying not to laugh.

"Yes, why else would I?" He smirked, and I nudged his side.

I was thinking about telling him what happened in the kitchen, but I ignored the thought. I should just forget about it.
