My eyebrows furrow in confusion as I literally felt my heart drop. He had to be lying, messing around with me. When is Ashton Kutcher going to jump out of the closet and yell that I'm getting Punk'd? He better come out of the closet soon.

I chuckle nervously, shaking me head. "No, no," I say, repeating it again. "He wouldn't." He bites his lip again, as I hear a knock coming from the door downstairs. "I don't know for sure, but I saw him texting a girl, and he happened to be smiling at the fact that she was making sexual jokes," He says. "Was there a name?" He nods. "Amy, apparently. I just decided to let you know.I'm not trying to break you guys up, I just don't want something to happen to where you get hurt. Neither of you." I shake my head. I didn't even know an Amy. "Did you guys meet an A-" I begin to say, but get cut off by Dana opening the door.

"Thanks for knocking," I say to him, and he glares at Dalton. "You're in the room with Dalton, why would I need to knock if he was in here?" Dana says, turning to me and softening his glare. "Plus your my girlfriend. Its not like it would matter that much if I saw anything." I roll my eyes, and Daltons clears his throat. "I should probably go, I told Will I would meet him soon," I smile to Dalton, though I wasn't really up for smiling. I stand up walking to him. "Thanks for everything, and be safe okay? Tell Will I say hi," I stand on my tip toes, giving him a gentle kiss on the cheek. His face becomes red, and Dana hardens his glare at me. Dalton nods a goodbye to me, walking out my door and shutting it behind him.

"What the actual fuck was that, Arizona?" Dana spits at me, glaring really hard at me. I roll my eyes, "Well, who the actual fuck is Amy, Dana?" I copy, glaring at him. "I told you not to listen to Dalton, he is drunk right now!" Dana says, throwing his hands up in the air. "You are so damn guliable." "If he is drunk then why are letting him drive himself out of here?" I knew he wasn't. I used to take care of my sister when she came home from high school parties, and I knew exactly what the smell and actions of a drunk person was. He stops himself from responding, pulling at his hair. "Exactly. Now, who is Amy?" He stops, pulling at his hair, crossing his arms and raising his eyebrow. He gives me a devilish smirk, "You would like to know, wouldn't you?" I glare at him again, giving him a look of digust. "Yes, because I would like to know if my boyfriend is che-" I begin, but he cuts me off, raising his hand. I glare at it, as he just rudely dismissed me. "Too bad you don't have a boyfriend, huh? Remember, this is all fake, Arizona, its until one of us falls in love," He says, and thats when I had smelt the alcohol on his breath. But I didn't care. I just wanted him out of my house. I chuckle harshly, pushing him towards the door. "You're right. And I'm calling it off. That way you can hook up with whoever the hell this Amy chick is, fake boyfriend or not, I'm not letting you cheat on me," I say, and begin to open the door. I would have opened it fully if Dana did stop me, by pushing his hands on it, and trapping me between his arms.

"I'm not letting you call the deal off," He says, leaning down so his lips were across from mine. I sigh, as I smelt the alcohol burning from his breath onto me. I couldn't let him leave the house like that, and I'm surprised he even made it here whole. I push him away, and a look of hurt crosses his face. I want to scoff, but I keep it in. "Its time for you to sleep, we're going to talk in the morning," He shakes his head. "No, we're talking about it right now," I glare at his argument. "You need to go to sleep, so we can talk this over when your sober," His eyes slightly widen. "How did you-"

"Because my sister used to come home drunk. Now, either you go to sleep in my bed, or I'm calling Will to come pick you up," I say, and he shakes his head. He leans forward, giving me a kiss on the forehead and I flinch slightly, a little surprised. "No, I want to stay here," He murmurs against my forehead. I push him away again, and another look of hurt, but worst then last time crosses his face. "I'm getting you water," I say, as he seems to relax.

I go down to the kitchen, and when I get there I noticed a note on the counter.

We decided to let you and Dana talk in private, call us tomorrow, Kay? (Ignore the fact that we didn't text, Marie wanted to be old fashion.)
-Autumn

I chuckle at them, sighing and running my hand over my face. I still wanted to know who Amy was, and why Dana was texting her the way Dalton said. It wasn't considering cheating, and I wouldn't break up with him because of it, as long as he explains himself. That doesn't mean I'm not the least bit of jealous, though, and he basically told me the relationship is all fake, which it sort of was. It just felt real.

That was what got me thinking.

What if all of this was Dana trying to get me to fall in love with him? What if he had faked that almost slip up, and the smiles he gave me? What if he even faked when he said he liked me? What if he faked the whole making amends with his mother thing?

My head began to fill with so many what if's, I didn't even realize the water was overflowing out of the cup. Dana was the one who stopped it. "What's on your mind?" He mutters, just loud enough for me to hear, picking up the cup, and setting it on the table. "Your over thinking." He looks straight at me with tired eyes, and I shake my head. "Just go to sleep, after you drink the water," I say, running my fingers through my hair, stressfully. "It will help with the han-" I get cut off by Dana's lips pressing on mine softly. "It wasn't my phone," He mumbles against my lips. "It was my friends. He wanted me to continue his conversation with some girl while he drove to Taco Bell. Dalton ended up coming, saw it, and thought the wrong thing. I would never in a billion years do such a thing to you, and I promise that."

I sigh in relief at the explanation.

I really did need that.
