I wake up in my bed later that afternoon. I run downstairs and see my parents talking to Andrew. They look up and I walk over.

"So," I say. "What's up?" I sit down next to Andrew on the couch.

"We were just talking about you," My mom says animatedly and smiles.

"What about me," I ask nervously and Andrew squeezes my hand.

"About how you were asleep in Andrew's arms when he got here," My dad says nodding to Andrew.

"Oh," I whisper. "Okay." This was going to take a lot of explaining.

Once Andrew and I finished explaining my parents still had a billion questions. Like how long we'd been dating. I actually didn't really have an answer... I was absent from school a lot since he first asked me out. I think it was a week or so ago. Wow, lots had happened in like seven days. Anyways, after that Ash came downstairs, keep in mind she didn't have any idea about Andrew dating me.

"What's he doing here," she asks going to stand in the middle of the living room. "And why is he holding my sisters hand?" Andrew and I exchange a glance and my parents look at us to explain. "Well?" Once again we had to explain, except that unlike my parents Ash freaked out.

"You've been dating him," She yells at me. "What happened to- Ella knew didn't she! You lied!"

"I never lied to you, Ash, I just kept it from you" I say.

"I should've known when you almost collapsed in my room and Ella had to steer you out of my room that morning when you asked who- who hated on me that day after we went to see Pride Forever.. The reason you-

"What's this about, someone hating on you," my mom asks. Ash nods.

"Multiple people actually, and one of them was him" she says pointing to at Andrew. I can feel Andrew's hand shaking in mine.

"Mom it wasn't his fault, it was the head of the cheerleading squad," I say. I explain the rest and Ash is stunned and looks at her feet.

"I didn't know," Ash says still looking at her feet. "I'm sorry, Andrew. For being rude and that Reilley forced you to do that"

"It's not your fault," Andrew says to Ash smiling. Ash looks up and smiles back. "I thought I'd made it clear to Reilley that we were through, obviously not."

"Well, I guess there's only one thing left to do," Ash says and Andrew and I look at her curiously. "Go and dump her with Delilah with you, that'll get the point across." She was right. She'll be furious, but do we care. We don't give a crap.
