Living with Heather Clark I half expected to be woken up with birds singing or breakfast in bed however,instead I woke up to hearing an ear piercing scream. My eyes shot open as I turned to my side only see Heather staring at me, her brown orbs were wide with terror. "What happened?" I questioned peering around the room in the process, looking for something that could've startled her. Slowly I brought my gaze back to her to see her just staring at me "what's wrong with you?" I pushed.

Her dark eyebrows furrowed together as she waited for me to solve the mystery by myself. Quickly she gave up and informed me of the yell worthy incident "we slept in the same bed..." Even after her reveal I wasn't understanding her reaction.

"Yeah, talk about déjà vu" I joked poorly though she didn't find it very funny. Using her palms she scooted herself farther away from me, forcing a larger distance in between us.

"Nate won't be happy about that" she quipped matter-of-factly. Nate's always been a hot head, everything pisses him off especially when it concerns me. Though, I can imagine that Jamie wouldn't be very happy to hear that I slept in bed with Heather Clark either so I understand her concern. "What they don't know won't hurt them" I shrugged calmly. I know that's the attitude that got me into this mess. Eventually once I've won Jamie back I'll tell her about last night but not yet. "Stop being so dramatic you don't have to tell them anything right? They'd never have to know as far as I know I slept on the floor okay? So stop stressing about it" I reasoned trying to prep her for talk with Nate as she shifted uncomfortably. Knowing this would just give him another excuse to come after me and talk about how bad of a guy I am.

"If he asks I'm not lying" she glowered stubbornly as if the thought of lying to Nate was horrible. When in fact that's exactly what we were doing now. Her lips turned into a sulky pout as she crossed her thin arms over her chest in a way to challenge me.

"Right like he hasn't lied to you..." I trailed as I tossed my legs off the side of the bed. I stretched my arms out wdely in the air before pushing them backwards to crack my back. Honestly, that was the best night sleep I've had in a long time. Don't get ahead of yourself here, it was all because of the memory foam matress not Heather. Glancing back I was instantly smacked in the head with a small pillow.

"Don't you think I know that?" She spat back, taking what I said to heart. "Don't you think it tortures me everyday that he used me?" She retorted her voice filled with distress. A ball of guilt began to brew in the pit of my stomach when I caught sight of her teary eyes.

Stepping forward I kneeled on her embroidered pillow, reaching out I placed my hands on the side of her knees near her thighs. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it" I justified but I did mean it. It was a fact that Nate had lied to Heather and played with her emotions but she didn't deserve to be reminded of it. "Listen, we are going to make this right" I vowed squeezing her warm skin in the process. Heather really got the worse end of the deal here. Even though Jamie was stolen, attacked and broken, she found false happiness. Where as Heather as been enduring Nate's torment and mixed signals for over a year. Why did still wanted him was a mystery.

"Wow" Nate mumbled under his breath as he opened the door causing me to jump back from the mirror and glance at him. His eyes roamed over me taking in outfit which was pretty simple actually. I wore a plain white t-shirt with a black and gray plaid vest over top, black skinny jeans that were an inch away from being too tight, and silver sandals that had clear crystals along the straps.
