Vadas mind was racing at a mile a minute, it was bad enough that Chase had fucked up his own relationship, along with Josh's but now he had dragged in the Sway boys and their misdoings.

She read over the paragraph a few times before looking up, everything seemingly in slow motion.

First, she noticed the shocked faces; flickering between Nick and the couple, waiting to see what would happen next.

Jadens grip on her only got stronger as he read the same paragraph over her shoulder, his eyes focusing there, not daring to look at Nick in fear of what he might do to him.

Next, she realised her own distraught; rereading the sentence about Jaden and Dixie over and over again.

She trusted both of them with her full heart; Dixie was one of her first friends when she met the group and, well, Jaden was Jaden, of course she trusted him.

It messed with her brain, how could Chase just put that out there; lie about things like this.

But then again...he didn't lie about Anthony and Cynthia, she had heard that was 'old news' and he hadn't lied about Jaden and Mads or herself and Nick, so why would he be lying about Jaden and Dixie.

However, before she had anymore time to overthink the short sentence she became all too aware of the lack of warmth on her waist and the presence behind her moving, pushing her shoulder slightly.

Jaden had moved, rather quickly and violently, in the direction of Nick, his hands up ready to fight; punching him as soon as he could. He didn't stop when Nick fell to the floor, continuing to kick him rapidly.

"No!" She screamed, her mind snapping to life as she jumped forward, along with the rest of the group who were trying their best to pull Jaden away from him.

Eventually, after a brutal beating, Josh and Bryce were holding him down whilst Ryland was shaking a bawled up Nick, his fresh cuts spilling blood onto the tile flooring.

"Jaden! Calm down" she shouted, trying her best to catch his attention but his eyes were looking over her head, verbal assault springing from his mouth as he shouted death threats at Nick.

"Jaden!" She shouted again, grabbing his chin with her hand and pulling his face to hers; she knew she had caught his attention when he stopped talking, his arms no longer struggling against the boys, his eyes focusing in on hers.

"What?" He asked, his jaw set.

"Come, now" she said back in the same tone, taking his hand and basically dragging him into an empty room, closing the door loudly and locking it, trapping him in.

They were silent for mere seconds before he let out an aggravated groan, running his hand through his hair before going down his face.

"I'm so fucking stupid-"

"Jae-"

"Of course it's fucking Nick" he shook his head, but her eyebrows furrowed, what was that supposed to mean.

"What?" She questioned.

"Fucker, I should kill him, we're boys how could he do this to me-"

"Woah, woah, woah" she cut him off, shaking her head as she walked over to him, "Jaden, you knew about him, we weren't even together not like-"

"What like Mads! Are we really going to talk about Mads again, are you just trying to make me feel guilty" he shouted, she was sure their friends could hear them.

"You should feel guilty!" She shouted back at him, not caring who heard, "you fucking hurt me Jaden, with Mads of all people! At least we weren't together, and me and Nick only kissed; you know this, why are you acting like this is new!"

"Vad-"

"No! I'm not going to let you make me feel like shit when you fucked another girl behind my back; more for all I know!" She stood up, pacing back and forth.

"And what's that supposed to mean" he asked, standing up too.

"Dixie?" She questioned, tears fogging her eye sight.

"What? Vada no, I wouldn't do that to you, or Griffin" he shook his head.

"You did it before..." she whispered, hoping he wouldn't hear her.

"What?"

"You've already fucked one of my friends, what's stopping you from doing it again!" She screamed, "who's next; Maeve, Violet, Avani?"

He stayed silent, his mouth open in shock, not knowing what to say.

"What?" His voice came out in a whisper, "please tell me that you're not trying to insinuate that I would..."

"No-"

"Not after you've spent time with Nick since we started dating, I thought I could trust you" now it was her time to be be shocked.

Nick was a good friend to her, but nothing more. They had one night where she got carried away but that was it; she had Jaden, he was all she needed.

"You can trust me," she told him quieter now.

"Really?" She nodded, teary eyes, "how do I know that when I turn around you won't be going behind my back with him" he was crying too.

"Well," she started, a sob caught in her throat, "how do I know that you won't be doing the same with Mads?"

The two stood in silence for a few seconds, both avoiding eye contact as they cried to themselves quietly, neither knowing what to say.

They hadn't had a big fight in their relationship yet, nor including their bog spat before they even dated. They'd been stuck in the honeymoon phase, not that they were complaining, so this was new for them.

Things might not be the same after this night; and it was all Chases fault.

"Chase" she spoke accidentally, her head turning to the door.

"What?" He sobbed out.

"I need to talk to Chase" she wiped her eyes as she stalked to the door opening it and slamming it closed.

She didn't notice the quiet room outside, silent as they watched her making her way to the room Chase was in, pushing the door open before slamming that one shut too.

"We need to talk"
