"That was awkward." River mumbled, still trying to recover from the conversation he had with Ren's mother.

"Awkward? I think it's passed awkward! We're doomed! My mom thinks we're dating!" Ren spluttered out.

It was Sunday morning, and the two were walking around the neighborhood to collect their thoughts. Last night, the two of them fell asleep, and didn't realize about the consequences that would follow them.

Basically, when Mrs. Fujioka opened the door to wake up her daughter, she saw Ren in her bed with a blonde boy. To be blunt, she kinda freaked out and gave both of the sex talk.

"Hey! What's so bad about dating me?" River joked, but deep inside, he wanted to hear Ren's answer.

"N-Nothing! Absolutely nothing! You're perfect, but we screwed up! We didn't tell my mom we weren't dating, so now she's under the impression we're gonna get married." Ren rambled out, stopping at bench and plopping herself down with a sigh.

Truthfully, River wouldn't mind making Ren his wife for life, but it seems that the concept would have to wait. She's too hung up over Keanu still, but at least she thinks he's perfect. I mean, isn't that a start right there?

River sat himself besides Ren, "Well, look at it this way, Ren. This is a perfect opportunity to make Keanu jealous with our fake relationship!"

Ren paused for a moment and then looked at River, "River, that sounds like a horrible cliche idea."

"Jeez, Ren, just tying to hel–" River mumbled defensively but was interrupted.

"I love it! I cannot believe my fake boyfriend is a genius." Ren exclaimed with a grin, which was welcoming sight. River loved making her happy, even if it was going as far to fake his love to her (even when it wasn't actually fake).

"Thank you, I do try!" River grinned back, and for once, it seemed like life was fine.

But of course, it's just the calm before the storm.

The two hanged around the park for awhile. River had fun pushing Ren on the swings or chasing her around like a child. Ren just happens to bring the childish aspects out of him.

There was nothing more that he wanted than was to be with her. He somewhat kinda is, even if it's fake.

"Dude, you look like shit." Alex comments, taking in the sight of his coworker.

Keanu rolls his eyes, "Yeah, I know. I didn't get good sleep last night."

Alex was another great friend, and their families have always been friends. Alex was a brother to Keanu, and Keanu had no problem talking to him about anything.

The two happened to work at Alan's comics, which was a dream come true when he got the job. Sometimes, he'll be able to use employee discounts and buy Ren new issues of comics. Seeing the smile on her face was worth it, especially when it was because of him.

"It's girl problems, y'know? I just don't think I like Jennifer like I thought I did. She's attractive, sure, but I don't know if I really feel anything for her." Keanu confessed, honestly, he was stressed out.

That nightmare had really changed his perspective on everything.

"You know, I always thought you would've went for Ren." Alex replied, cutting open new boxes to pull out comics and place them on the shelves.

Keanu followed his coworkers footsteps, grabbing his box cutter, "Really?"

"Yeah, you guys were glued to each other. You always did everything together, and you guys have so much in common. No offense, I puked every time I saw you get mushy and cutesy with her when you're here." Alex explained, wondering how Keanu was such a ditz to his own feelings.

"Yeah, I guess I was glued to her. But we haven't really been hanging out, especially because Jennifer takes up my time. But I also feel like Ren might have a thing going on with River." Keanu mentioned, opening the box and placing new issues of Teen Titans on the shelves.

"Have you bothered asking her for the truth?" Alex inquired, breaking down the box after he placed all the comics on the shelf.

"No, I haven't found much time to talk to her, remember?" Keanu answered.

"Well, before assuming Ren's relationship status, talk to her. But you should figure out what you want to do with Jennifer." Alex replied. When did he become the love guru around here?

"Thanks dude. You're the best." Keanu thanked, feeling a bit less tense and stressed out than before.

"I know I am, dude." Alex replied, heading into the back room, leaving Keanu to himself.

He'll figure out something, and hopefully when he does, Ren will be with him.

"I don't know what to do." Jennifer speaks out in exasperation. She was at a small coffee shop, and in front of her was her best friend.

"I say you should talk to him." Neve replied, afterwards taking a sip of her coffee, which was filled with creamer.

"I'm just worried! I see how he glances at her!" Jennifer said, referring Keanu and Ren.

"You might just be reading into it just a tad bit too much. All that think is going to make you paranoid." Neve replied. Neve believed that Jennifer wasn't going to last with this boyfriend of hers.

Plus, were boys even worth the stress?

"I guess. I mean, let's say hypothetically, Keanu leaves me for his best friend. Even if that happens, I'll still have you and that's all that matters." Jennifer said, mostly towards herself in reassurance than to Neve.

Nevertheless, Neve smiled and took Jennifer's hand into hers.

"Of course! I'll never leave your side. You're my ride or die, Jen." Neve told her, her smile still bright and big. For once, Jennifer felt relieved and it wasn't because of her boyfriend's efforts.

Jennifer decided she needed to do more thinking. She wasn't sure how Keanu felt, but Jennifer knew she could survive without him. It's not the end of the world if they broke up.

Sometimes, Jennifer wonders if she knows the difference between love, as in friends or family, and love love, someone you'd kiss and think of spending the rest of your life with.

Either way, she'll go with the flow. You can't surround your whole life on one person.
