-AJ's POV-

Alright, none of the guys know this, but Kaitlyn has been helping me sneak out of the house the past two days so I could spend time with Dean. He's a really great guy once you get to know him. It's just that ex girlfriend of his that I'm worried about. I'm not stupid. I know if she finds out that Dean and I are dating she'll try and ruin it. Just like she did with the cookies. Yeah, I know it was her. I will get my revenge in time though.

While I'm worrying about her, I'm also worried about Matt. For some reason he seems so jumpy every time he comes around me. Something's up and I'm going to find out soon. Meanwhile, Syn is dating Renee's best friend Summer. I don't know her to well but she seems like a gold digger. He's already bought her a pair of gold earring and some Loui Vuitton shoes.

Ugh, speaking of dating I have to hook Zacky up with Carmella today. That's gonna be hard considering he always gets tongue tied and sweats a lot when he's talking to a pretty girl.

Man, I really wish Aunt Steph and Uncle Hunter would have taken me with them, Johnny and Kaitlyn to go visit Steph's dad no matter how old and idiotic he might be its better than being stuck in this house. (A/N: Seriously Vince get your shit together!)
___________________________
Everybody was getting snacks and movies ready for their little get together.Well everybody but Matt. He was sitting on the couch texting and smiling to himself and Jimmy frowned.

"Could you put that thing down for one second? You've been glued to it since you started-" Syn threw a bag of chips at Jimmy's head before he could tell Matt's secret in front of AJ.

"Jimmy can you please come upstairs with me to go check on Zacky?" Syn said putting on a fake smile before dragging Jimmy up the stairs.

AJ tilted her head in confusion, sitting on the couch next to Matt who turned his phone away. "I wonder what that was about."

"I-I don't know." Matt stuttered, then almost jumped when his cell started vibrating. He turned his back to AJ and started texting secretively, then turned to his sister and gave her an innocent smile. "Imma check what's taking Syn and Jimmy so long." He ran up the stairs almost falling on his way up.

The boys all looked at him, "What's wrong?"

"It's like she is trying to squeeze the truth out of me! I don't know how long I can keep up not telling her." Matt confessed.

"Looks like you don't have to." Jimmy pointed from the balcony.

Matt looked down and saw AJ with a phone in her hands. He quickly reached at his back pocket and felt that it was empty. "Oh my god...."

Zacky covered his mouth, "I'm nervous for you man, but I feel sick." he ran back into the restroom and started throwing up again.

"MATTHEW SANDERS GET YOUR TATTOOED ASS DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!" AJ screamed making her brothers shiver in fear.

"Y-yes?" Matt answered quietly as he slowly made his way down the staircase. "Is something wrong my beautiful sister?"

AJ scowled, "Don't give me that you spineless punk. What is this?!" she held the phone up to his face.

"That would be a phone." He answered chuckling timidly. AJ found no amusement as she just kept standing there with her jaw clenched and his phone still raised up to his face. "Okay! It's texts with Renee."

"Uh-huh. And why would there be texts from Renee on your phone?" AJ interrogated.

Matt rocked back and forth on his heels. "Cuz... I'm... Dating... Her..."

AJ clenched the phone in her hands and dropped it on the floor, exclaiming in frustration. "I can't believe you would do that!"

"AJ it's not that bad." Syn defended.

"You stay out of this! This is between me and Matt!"

"I knew about it too." Syn confessed.

"What?"

"So did Zacky and so does Jimmy. I even think Johnny knew."

AJ furrowed her eyebrows, "How could you keep this a secret from me? I tell you guys everything even if i don't want to because you guys are my brothers. We're not supposed to keep secrets from each other!"

"I didn't tell you cuz I knew you would freak out about it!"

"I'm freaking out about it cuz I had to find out like this!" she yelled, kicking the phone across the room.

"Nobody told you to search thru his phone!" Syn yelled back. "You're overreacting."

"Oh I'm overreacting?" she laughed dryly. "Don't even get me started on that! Who's the one that beat up my boyfriend back home? You guys. Who's the one that scared everybody away from me at our new school? You guys. And who are the ones that made me hate Dean when I really liked him? You guys!"

"That's completely different." Syn argued. "We were making sure that you wouldn't get involved with rotten people."

"Which is exactly what I'm doing right now." AJ shot back. The group found it weird how this time the roles were switched and that she was the one looking out for Matt. "I'm going upstairs." she said, accidentally bumping Jimmy when she walked by.

"AJ..." he said. "I'm sorry."

"I expected them to keep this from me but not you Jimmy. I thought we were more close than that but I guess not."

"AJ come back down here." Matt said.

AJ ignored him and kept walking. She looked down at them from the top step and boldly confessed. "And I am dating Dean. Deal with it."

Synyster and Matt looked at one another completely devastated, while Jimmy couldn't help but grin a tiny bit even though AJ lost her trust in him. It was about time that AJ had finally put her foot down.

"Well at least she admitted it." Jimmy stated.

"Shut up." Matt frowned.

"Okay guys! I feel better! I'm ready to not be single anymore." Zacky cheered hopping down the stairs. "Why does everybody look disappointed?"

"AJ's going out with Dean." Syn answered, sounding flustered.

"Are you serious? Do we go beat him up now?"

"Nobody is beating anybody up!" Jimmy shouted, "Just leave it be. You know AJ will find a way to get what she wants, so just leave her alone."

"Are you hearing yourself?" Zacky pushed Jimmy making him stumble backwards.

"I already knew that Dean and AJ were going out." Jimmy admitted. "And I'm glad they are."

Matt narrowed his eyes, "You knew and you didn't say anything?"

"Yup. I didn't want to be a 'snitch' as you would probably say."

"I should choke you out right n-"

Ding dong

"That would be our company." Jimmy pointed out as he opened the door to reveal Enzo, Cass, and Carmella.

"Who's ready to get their Friday night funk on!" Cass cheered, dropping some of the food they brought.

"I am!" Jimmy cheered.

"Where's AJ?" Enzo asked.

"Right here." AJ answered walking down the stairs.

"I thought you weren't coming back down." Synyster said.

"I wasn't but I made a promise." she looked at Zacky who looked extremely thankful to her see her.
__________________________
AJ had no idea how much of a pansy Zacky really was under that tough guy act. She tried getting him to make a move on Carmella the entire night and he always found a way to embarrass himself.

"You have got to pull yourself together." AJ whispered to her nervous brother.

"I'm sorry. I'm trying."

"Don't be sorry hoe. Be careful. Now reach for her hand."

Zacky looked at Carmella who was being entertained by the movie they had on. When he went to hold her hand he accidentally stuck it into the salsa bowl.

"Oh my god, Zacky. What's going on with you." Carmella laughed, handing him some napkins. "You're acting weirder than usual."

"I act weird around you?" Zacky asked turning pink out of embarrassment.

"Not in a bad way."

"Brb!" Oh god did I just use text terms out loud? that is so lame! Zacky ran upstairs to his his room to calm himself down.

Enzo ad Cass looked at each other and started laughing. "We'll go check on him." they found Zacky's room and started knocking on his door.

"What do you guys want?"

They forced themselves in the room, closing the door behind then. "Seriously, bro. You don't know how to hit on a girl worth crap." Enzo told him.

"There's only one word to describe you. And I'm gonna spell it out for you. S-A-W-F-T! SAWFT!"

"How you doin!" Enzo yelled. Zacky was completely lost in what was going on. "If you want to get with Carmella just be yourself. The girl already likes you."

"She does?"

"Yeah, on our way here she couldn't stop talking about you. She sounded like a broken record."

"Now go down there and get yourself a girlfriend." Enzo ordered.

Zacky jumped up and down, getting himself hyped. "I can do this!" he yelled running down the stairs, then froze when he saw Carmella looking at his guitar.

"You play guitar?" she asked.

"Yeah. Me, my brothers, and cousin have a band called Avenged Sevenfold."

"No way! That's so cool. I know how to play a little guitar myself."

"Seriously? Can you play me something?"

Carmella looked around the room and saw how everybody was staring at her. "I can't play in front of crowds. I'm super shy."

"That's no problem. You can come to my room and we'll play something together."

"Okay!" Carmella grabbed his hand and they ran up to his room.

"Wow that was smooth." Synyster commented. "Well at least someone's happy."

"AJ, you owe me a new phone. The screen cracked." Matt whined.

"Good." AJ smiled, "That'll teach you not to keep secrets from me."

"Why don't we make a pact." Syn began, "From here on out no more secrets. Deal?"

"Deal." Matt and AJ said.

"Jimmy?"

Jimmy was thinking to himself if he should say what was really going on with Matt and Syn's girlfriends. But this was all the drama he could handle for one day. "Deal."

"Now if you guys will excuse me." AJ walked past everybody. "I have a phone call to make."

"Ooooo! You're gonna go call Dean." Syn teased playfully.

"And I have a phone call to make as well." Matt informed dialing a number.

"Hey, Dean. What's up?"

"Nothing just lying down and you?"

"My brothers know that we're going our now."

"What?!"

"Don't worry. They're sorta cool with it."

"No way, that's great. How come all of a sudden they're alright with it?"

"Let's just say that there were more important things to worry about."

"That's fantastic. how about I take you out tomorrow night?"

"I'd like that."

"Cool. Hey I got to go. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay. Bye."

Dean sighed, hanging up his phone. "Man that was a close one."

"I told you to let it go to voicemail like how I let mine do." Renee giggled, lying naked on Dean's bed. "Now, where were we?"
