"So, he just sat at the table, finished his burger, and then left? While you were twenty feet away?" Courtney asks in disbelief.

"Okay, I'm here! I'm sorry I'm late but Taco Bell messed up my order so my dad had to go out of the drive-thru and made me go into the actual restaurant which, might I add was completely embarrassing since I'm wearing my polka dot sweatpants, but that's okay because they gave me a free burrito," Olivia rambles on as she takes a seat at the kitchen table. She holds the burrito in my direction and I eye it for a few seconds debating whether I should take it, before deciding to fuck it and shove half the burrito in my mouth.

"Can I just say that I don't understand Chase like he was so sweet when we met him and now that you're dating all you guys do is fight," Quinn states dipping her finger in the brownie mix I was stirring.

"I say we kill him, that guy that I mentioned a few weeks ago, is still good to go, he can make it look like an accide-" Olivia starts but I cut her off.

"For the love of God Liv, we are not killing anyone, so can you please stop suggesting it! Who is this guy and how do you know him?" I ask her exasperated.

"You know I can't give away too much information, he would have to kill me then," Olivia explains. Seriously, what the fuck?

"Okay, I get that Olivia has some secret tie to the mafia but can we keep on topic here? Why the hell did Zach try and get Tessa to sleep with him?" Courtney asks walking around the kitchen counter in her pj's and fuzzy slippers.

"That was a completely different topic, Court," Quinn rolls her eyes twisting in her chair leaning over the island to grab a piece of my burrito on the counter.

"Maybe so, but still, he's almost eighteen and she's just turned fourteen? And we all know what a jackass he is," Courtney shivers with a disgusted look on her face.

"I think we can all agree on that," I mumble pouring the batter into a dish to put in the oven.

"But back to Chase, I say you call it quits," Court rests her elbows on the counter waiting for my reaction.

"Break up? The fight wasn't that bad," I put the bowl covered in batter and place four spoons on the counter as we all start cleaning out the bowl.

"Agreed, the fight wasn't that bad, but he didn't come after you to work it out when you were both sitting in the food court, he sat there, ate his burger, and then left. He could have come over at any time and you could have worked it out there and then," Court explains not breaking eye contact.

"And he didn't follow you after you fought at the party either, he just let you go, and him calling your name once does not count as trying," Olivia reminds us of the party a few weeks ago.

My heart slowly starts sinking at the points they're making, because I know they're right. All we've been doing these past few weeks is fighting and ignoring each other because everything I do, he doesn't like. I mean I shouldn't be so attached we've only been together for two months, for crying out loud.

"You don't need to decide now," Quinn grabs my hand and squeezes it softly, "We've given our two cents but obviously, the decision is yours and we will be here for whatever you decide." Olivia and Courtney both nod their heads in agreement.

"Girls, I couldn't help but overhear," my eavesdropping mother says as she walks into the kitchen, concern flashing in her eyes.

"Liar," I cough. She gives me a little grin in return.

"But did it occur to any of you that Chase doesn't know any better? I'm not excusing him in any way, most boys are idiots, we have to explain things to them a thousand times before they understand what we're trying to tell them," mom walks over to the batter bowl and steals my spoon scooping up a blob of brownie batter.

"You would think that they would learn by now, there are enough memes about it on the internet to help them out," Olivia rolls her eyes.

"Look at Harry for example; he lived in a house with five girls growing up and he still managed to piss off his ex so bad that she ran over his stuff with a lawnmower," my mom chuckles remembering last year's fourth of July party. Good times, good times.

"Well that's what you get for being an idiot, I mean everyone knows that when a girl asks how many other girls you were with you don't tell them the actual number if you were a manwhore the whole of high school," I laugh checking the brownies in the oven.

"Well, your brother is not the brightest tool in the shed when it comes to girls. And you told Chase to talk to you when he's sorted his 'shit' out, if he's as childish as he sounds, then I don't know if you should still fight for him," mom brushes my hair out of my face as I rest my head on my arms, sighing.

"Why are relationships so complicated," I groan loudly.

"Because we make them complicated?" Quinn offers up quietly.

"That and boys are just stupid," Olivia takes a bite of her taco.

"I heard that," Sebastian says walking into the room in just his sweatpants. I notice Courtney and Olivia staring at his chest, I roll my eyes in disgust.

"Honey, we have guests over, go put a shirt on," mom chastises him.

"But I live here, and they've seen me shirtless tons of times. Mom, they're always here," Sebastian grumbles walking over to the oven and opening it a little trying to see what we're making. I smack his hand telling him to leave it shut which immediately results in us smacking each other.

"Stop it both of you," mom shouts at us, we stop and look at her sheepishly. "I'm honestly surprised none of you kids have ended up in the hospital by now, you guys are supposed to love each other."

"We're just expressing our love in a different way," I shrug with a smile on my face. Sebastian nods his head in agreement, patting my head roughly. "Piss off," I grumble pushing him away from me.

"This is a girls' night in, Sebastian, you need to leave the kitchen," mom starts gently shoving him towards the living room, where dad is watching a movie with Maddie.

"Seriously? I live here! What happened now, one of you break a nail?" Sebastian asks sarcastically.

"Lottie and Chase broke up, give your sister some space," my mother scolds him giving me a sympathetic look.

Sebastian freezes his face dropping its smirk as he looks at me silently. "You okay?"

"Fine, I broke up with him, I think," I answer still a little confused as to whether we were broken up.

"I can go kick his ass?" Sebastian offers with a small smile.

"You'll get your ass kicked," Olivia tells him with a smirk.

"Well, thank you for that vote of confidence, Liv," Sebastian glares at her, but you can see he's trying not to smile. He looks over at me again, tapping his fist against his chest, and points at me letting me know that he has my back and I do it in return.
