Melina POV:

I woke up the next morning with my head pounding in a room I didn't recognize. I looked down and I was wearing an oversized t shirt that wasn't mine and no pants. What is going on? What happened last night. I stood up and looked around the room and saw a framed photo with...oh no...this is Jason's room. All of the sudden the bedroom door opened and there he was standing there.

"Shit!" I screamed and ripped the blanket off of the bed to cover myself.

"Melina calm down." I heard Carmen say as she appeared behind him.

"Oh I'm sorry for not being calm when I'm waking up in a random bed wearing practically no clothes and can't remember last night!" I replied.

"No clothes? That's one of my favorite shirts you got on!" Jason laughed.

"Funny." I said sarcastically as I rolled my eyes. "Does somebody want to fill me in?" I suddenly felt something in my stomach. "On second thought, I need to go visit the bathroom." I turned and ran to the bathroom and just barely made it before I started throwing up. I sat down on the floor and leaned back against the wall. Seriously, what happened last night??

"Hey, we need to be home in less than hour to get ready for court." Carmen said coming into the bathroom.

"Do I even want to know what happened last night?" I asked with my head between my knees.

"Probably not." Carmen laughed. "Let's just say, if Ben and Jordyn ever found out you would literally have no life."

"That bad?"

"Well I found you crying in the bathroom because apparently you thought grass had feelings and went on and on about how horrible we are for walking on them and causing them pain every day, I'm pretty sure at that point you had already had way too much to drink. Jason helped me carry you outside and we got an Uber to his place because his parents are out of town for the weekend. Once you got out of the Uber though you threw up all over your clothes."

"Wow, I honestly have no words."

"I washed your clothes last night so go get changed into them so we can head out. We don't want anybody getting suspicious." Carmen said and left me alone in the bathroom again. How could I have been so stupid last night and let myself get that drunk? And Jason saw it all, gosh he probably hates me now. I don't think I can ever face him again.

"So, how you feeling?" Jason asked walking into the bathroom and sitting next to me.

"Like hell." I groaned leaning my head back against the wall.

"Yeah, you were pretty wasted." he laughed. "Before you go though, can I explain that picture you saw?" Right. I had completely forgotten about that.

"Jason I-" I started but he cut me off completely.

"Melina I didn't want to kiss her. It was at a party and it was a dare. I said no but everybody kept chanting about it and I freaked so I just gave her a quick kiss so everybody would shut up. Nina totally set me up. She did that on purpose so she could send a picture to you. The kiss didn't even last a full second and it meant nothing." he explained.

"Oh...well now I feel kinda dumb."

"I didn't want to kiss her. I didn't even want to be at that party! I couldn't stop thinking about you so I went to try and distract myself. I was on my way out when that happened. Melina I like you. A lot. And regretted that kiss as soon as it happened. Because you're the only girl I want to kiss." Jason said looking deep into my eyes. Holy shit.
