Amber smiled at the thought of a smoothie, but quickly lost it. "Fruits and such. Hit the gym today, so I'll throw some protein powder in there. They're always good. Get those gains."

Amber placed her head on the table. "Want one, Amie?" He questioned the purple haired. She thought for a moment or two. "No thanks, J. Not in the mood at the moment." She gestured to her face and he nods.

Jack cleared his throat. The blender whirred. "Hey, Dunkers, Amie!"

Jack and Amber share a look. "Yeah?" They respond, Jack gripped onto her hand.

They both walked to the entrance of the living room. "Yeah, pal?" Jack questioned, holding Amber's hand tightly.

"Do you want to watch the movie with us?" Stig asked them both, and the two shared a look. Jodi shook her head, making Amber feel bad.

"Pfft! Well..." Jack and Amber chuckle. "No,  we don't want to. Amber do you?" He questioned.

Amber shrugged. "Up to you, J!" She responded, ignoring the sadness she felt. "Eh, okay. That's such a great idea!"

Jack left go of Amber's hand and sat himself between Jodi and Stig. Amber took a seat on the separate couch, laying down and pulling her feet up.

"All right, cozy time. That's good," Stig chuckled, putting an arm around Jack as Jodi glared at him.  Jodi moved further away from him before sending a glare in Amber's direction, as the purple haired noticed the look of admiration Jack sent Jodi's way.

Amber groaned in pain, immediately sitting up. "Are you okay?" Jodi asked, sending a look of curioussness in Amber's direction.

"I'm fine!" Amber snapped, getting up and leaving the room. She walked into Jack's room and climbed to get to his bed. She pulled the blanket up and stayed on her side.

Jack entered his room. "Amie?" He questioned, only to be met with soft snores. He smiled and climbed the bed.

He laid next to her and pulled the blanket over himself. Amber woke up and faced him.

"Did I wake you?" He asked, making her shake her head. "No, I need to get going now."

Jack grabbed her hand gently. "You're not going anywhere, Amie. You're not going to your house, you're not going with Jodi because I think she's pissed at us but also because you don't want to be questioned by them. My mother is out of town so you're staying with me."

Amber smiled at Jack, pulling him into a hug. "What would I do without you?" She questioned, making Jack freeze.

"Die." He joked after a moment or two or them staring at each other. "Serious question, asshat!" Amber joked, rolling her eyes.

"What happened with the Swede?" Harper questioned her younger sister.

"Uh, we just watched a movie." Jodi started walking to the kitchen. "Okay, yeah." Harper wanted more info than just that.

"And then he invited Dunkleman and Amie to watch it with us." Jodi continued, making Harper let out an ooh.

"And the , uh... He called me his friend." Jodie admitted to her sister. Harper groaned. "And then, uh..." Jodi closed her eyes.

"Then I kissed him." She admitted, making Harper's jaw drop. Harper scoffed. "Wait."

"After all that, You kissed him?" Harper questioned, proud of her sister. "Mm-hm. Yeah."

Harper smirked. "Who are you?" She wondered, as Jodi sat down. "I don't know. I mean, I wasn't planning on kissing another girl's boyfriend. I mean, even if that girl is Kimmy, but that's not me. I'm not the other woman. I mean, I'm barely a woman." Jodi ranted and Harper walked to gaze out of the window.

"The situation is getting very ugly, very fast." Harper looked to her side, seeing an English muffin. She picked it up and put it in her mouth.

"Why do you always have to gaze out the window when you're talking to me?" Jodi wondered.

With her mouth stuffed, "We're in uncharted territory now,"
Harper stated. "I mean, if Kimmy ever found out about this--"

"Is that an English muffin?" Jodi questioned her sister. Harper chewed more, before shaking her head. "No."

Jodi raised her hand, "it's not an English muffin." Harper looked at her sister's hand. "Don't."

"I just..." Jodi mumbled, before slapping her sister across the face. Harper gasped and the English muffin left her mouth.

"Did you just slap me?" Harper wondered, raising an eyebrow. "You told me to slap you if I ever saw you eating carbs."

Harper closed her eyes. "I did, but I didn't expect you to actually do it. What if you left a permanent Mark?"

"Okay, stop talking about yourself and tell me how to undo what I just did."

Stig sighed. "Hey, Dunkers, Amie?" Amber groaned. "What?"

"Are you awake?" Stig wondered making Amber roll her eyes. "No." Amber deadpanned. "What? Yeah, we are." Jack replied, making Amber sigh.

"Yeah, man, what's up?" Jack wondered, making Stig sigh again.  "I have to confess something."

There was a pause of silence. "I cheated on Kimmy tonight." He admitted, making both of their eyes widen. "With Jodi, and she kissed me,"

Amber sat up and passed Jack the pillow she was laying on. "And I kissed her back, and I... I didn't pull away. Am I a horrible person?"

Jack took the pillow off his face and handed it back to Amber. Amber pulled him into a hug and he didn't pull away. Amber wiped his tears as he scoffed.

"No, man." He took in a deep breath. "No. People..." Jack exhaled and Amber didn't miss the crestfallen look that coated his entire face.

More tears brimmed his eyes which made Amber grab his hand comfortingly. "These things happen. People have minor lapses in judgement."

He breathed deeply as he tried to control the sobs that were going to leave his throat any second.

Amber closed her eyes, not liking to see her best friend, her crush, like this. "How was it?" He finally asked as Amber sat him up.

She wiped his tears that left his eyes once more and pulled him into a hug. He wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his head in the crook of her shoulder.
