A/N Hey guys :) I will take a break from writing in the holiday season because I need to get some inspiration and frankly, I want to read as much as I used to. But yeah, thanks for reading and dont forget to comment/share/vote and stay...yourself, because you're awesome :D

Azelia's POV

I hear waves crashing and seagulls, making me open my eyes in panic. I relax when I see im in a gazebo with Jared but the question of how the hell we got here remains. The jerk beside me stirs in his sleep but soon enough he sleepily rubs his eyes and looks at me with concern. He pauses and hastily asks me if im still high, making fragments of yesterday remain in my mind. I turn to him and shake my head, hearing him sigh in relief. An image of Jared and I kissing floats around my mind, making me question whether it really did happen or im going crazy. I force myself to look at his eyes and nervously ask "so um...did anything unusual happen yesterday?". He shakes his head and I slump back in relief. For some reason...I almost wish that it did happen. Wow I must still be abit loopy.. I nod at him and walk beside him, back to the hotel. I almost wish I brought my phone so that I wouldnt have to deal with the awkwardness and tension but sadly, my lack of judgement failed me. Based on Jared's facial expression, he seems to wish the same.

A short while after, a ring is heard and Jared digs into his pocket, answering his phone. Well then...He looks slightly stressed and keeps answering questions, hanging up at the end. He must notice the confusion on my face because he says "Desire called. She was mad that I spent the night taking care of you" making me nod. "Well atleast she cares about you?" I say, attempting to lighten the mood.

"Yeah, atleast she cares. You're right." he says back, making this the longest unhigh conversation between us since...3 or 4 days.

"So..would you rather burn to death or drown?" I ask him, not really wanting the silence to overcome us again.

"Burn, its quicker. Would you rather...be forever alone and incapable of companionship or be sexually attracted to an asparagus?' he muses.

I cant help the giggles that escape my mouth at his wierd question, taking a moment to laugh my head off with him joining in."Um the first option because ew. Who would want to be attracted with an asparagus? That and because I have some experience with being alone" laughing a little at the accuracy of it all.

His smile falters a bit and he apologetically says,"I know that you think I sort of betrayed you but youre not alone. Really. I mean, you're not bad when you're halfway decent."

"Gee thanks jared" I say, laughing a little.

"Im serious, when you're not all judgemental and bitchy you're actually.....awesome." he says, giving me a genuine smile. I almost forget the first part of it is an insult. Jared and I continue talking about the most random things, but honestly having fun. Thats what I feel though. When we get there, we part ways and I walk to my room, collapsing on my bed feeling...oddly happier? I think of Jared right before I fall asleep, a smile painting my lips.

When I wake up, I see I have a text from Chachi, which I open after a minute of hesitation. She better not have drugged me too or I'll slap the hoe...My face twists into confusion when I read her text, wondering why she wants to meet me in her room. I text back that Im coming and she replies but I dont check it. I slip on my oversized sweater and leggings, walking to her room. She opens the door and check to see there is nobody following me...weird. I take a seat on the edge of her bed and ask her whats going on. She sits next to me and takes a deep breath, replying with her answer.

"Im so so sorry. Dina drugged you and I swear I didnt know until after, she just did it to gain Desire and Heather's trust. When you said something mean to Desire, she got mad and told Heather. They both planned to do somethign bad and they saw ecstasy so...they told me to slip it into your drink. I told them that I wouldnt, I swear. But Dina...she agreed so that they would like her. But I swear she didnt agree right away, she actually suggested that they do something less evil- like pouring something on your dress. But no, they wanted you to be drugged. So Dina slipped you the drug and all went well. Until Jared noticed....and he asked Dina why she drugged you. She panicked and walked away but this morning when he asked again, she told him that Heather and Desire told her to. He got mad and publicly told off Heather and broke up with Desire."

I sit there stunned for a few moments but eventually form the words "and why are you telling me this...?". She shakes her head in despair and quietly says "because both Desire and Heather think its your fault and...they have something planned, I think anyway. Some kind of revenge...there is no greater revenge than from a woman scorned except from two women. Two evil women who ruin lives for a living. For fun. Azelia you need to be careful." I scoff, I mean they're bitches but I know how to deal with them. I take one look at the seriousness etched on her face and nod, bidding her farewell and going to my room.

I go inside and see a note lying near the door and in the room, probably someone slipped it in. The handwriting is almost unreadable but I manage to make out the words "Bitch, watch your back"

Oh I see, they want to get even with me for Jared finally gaining some common sense and cutting them from his life.

Well if thats what they want, Im in no position to oppose this game.

If anything they should watch their back because....

I dont play to get even, I play to win.
