“Ellie what’s wrong sweetheart? Are you sick? Do you need to throw up?” Gu

OH. MY. GOD…..he had tears ru

My first instinct was to run to him. I had never in my life seen him cry. I looked up at Gu

“Don’t! Just…. don’t Jefferson. What you did tonight it was…it was just….I don’t even want to think about it anymore. I only wanted to let Gu

“Um, no it’s okay I’ll just wear a pair of Jeff’s shorts.” Gu

Gesh, every time I think he ca

“No Gu

“I’m going to go clean the bathroom and then go to sleep. Thank you so much Gu

“Ellie just leave the bathroom sweetheart its fine. Jeff and I always have a cleaning company come in and clean up the house the day after a party….it’s fine just go to sleep. Please.” Gu

“Whatever….fine……I’m exhausted anyway. Goodnight and thank you again for letting us use your room. I really do appreciate it.” I leaned up and gave Gu

I didn’t even bother saying goodnight to Jefferson. I walked back into Gu

Oh holy hells bells….it smelled like Gu

I crawled into bed next to Ari. She was snoring away. Man oh man…she was going to feel it tomorrow when she woke up. Maybe she won’t even remember Jefferson sleeping with that bitch Rebecca! Oh, I could only hope.

Good lord….everything around me smelled like Gu

It seemed like I had just closed my eyes when I heard Ari talking on the phone. I opened my eyes and sat up yawning. From what I could tell Ari was talking to her parents. She was fine, yes the party was super fun, yes it was just us two and Jefferson and Gu

“Hey there! Morning sunshine! Did you sleep well?” Ari said as she jumped up out of bed. Oh HELL no….she has to be feeling something for fucks sake. I was and I didn’t even drink as much as she did!

Just then all the memories of last night came flooding back to me. Jefferson and what he said about her virginity and him sleeping with that Rebecca chick.

“Good morning Ari….you sure are just a little to chipper this morning. How do you feel?” I asked as I watched her go into Gu

“What’s so fu

“This…this shit is fu

I let out a small laugh and reached down to pick up my clothes. “I thought I picked them up last night! Gosh I was exhausted. Um, Ari honey are you okay? I mean do you want to talk about anything?” I asked as I watched her put her hair up in a pony.

She stopped putting her hair up and looked at me. For one brief second I saw the hurt in her eyes, but it was gone so fast I wondered if it was even there in the first place.  She flashed that signature smile at me and shrugged her shoulders.

“There’s nothing to talk about Ells. What’s done is done. I had a silly crush on a guy who happened to turn out to be a real dick head; sorry I know he is your brother! If he wants to go around and fuck every girl on the UT campus….I could care less.” Ari said as she turned and walked out of the bathroom.

Ooookay…..that was not what I was expecting from her but I’ll go with it.

“So, you mean to tell me Aria

“Nope….I’m not the least bit bothered by it Ellie. Matter of fact, Josh gave me his number and asked me out last night. I turned him down but……. now that I think about it, I’m going to give him a call today.”

She turned and gave me a wink and headed towards the bedroom door. I saw her square up her shoulders and take a deep breath as she opened the door and headed out towards the living room. I could hear Gu

Bullshit….she was totally putting up a front.
