"What the hell are you doing here?" Liam asks angrily pushing in front of me to cover my body with his own.

"I'm here to talk to my girlfriend. But it seems she's already moved on." His thick british accent coming through.

"We're not together, you know that, we are just friends an-" I stop myself. "I don't have to justify myself to you Nick. You aren't my boyfriend anymore, which means you mean nothing to me anymore."

"Not like you cared much about me before we broke up." He mutters standing and coming closer to me.

"Don't say that Nick, of course I cared about you. Hell a few weeks ago I thought I loved you. But now I realized how fucking wrong I was."

"I didn't come here to be lectured."

"THEN LEAVE!" I scream pointing to the door and hitting Liam in the stomach on accident. "LEAVE AND NEVER COME BACK NICHOLAS. I HATE YOU. AND I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!"

"How did you even get in here?" Liam asks angrily, once again pushing me behind him to guard me.

"I called your mum, told her i was planning to propose." He chuckles. "Oh how wrong I was."

"You need to leave." I'm growl. "You should not have came here in the first place."

Another knock on the door. Liam rushes to open it. "What?" Nick asks angrily. "You go and call the cops on me?"

"No, I didn't." I answer.

"Uhh, Jen.." I hear Liam say from the front door. He has it propped so I can't see who's on the other side. So I rush to meet him at the door, and I swing it open more.

"Holy shit.." I mutter.

"Jen..." He whispers.

"J-Josh." I sputter. "What are you doing here? You need to go, now."

"Why?"

"B-Because it's late. And quiet frankly I don't want to see you right now."

"Oh.." He answers, his face dropping and his eyes loosing their shine. "I just came to talk to you and see if I could get in on this slumber party offer."

I look to Liam. "Josh I just -"

"Who's there?" Nick angrily pulls the door open and smirks when he see Josh. "Ah yes, perfect. Just the boy I wanted to see ..."

"No nick, your leaving."

"I just want to talk to him. We can all sit down at the table and talk this out like adults. Or I can beat the shit out of him next time I see him..." He threatens.

"J-Josh come in." I say defeated and point to the table.

I sit next to Liam, the only one I can truly trust right now. Josh sits at one end of the table, and Nick on the opposite side.

"So, let's talk." I glance at the clock, and see it's almost one in the morning. "Make this fast, I'm tired."

"Why'd you kiss Josh?"

I go silent, but Josh answers for me. "I kissed her." He says. "She didn't kiss me."

"Why?" Nick asks him.

"Because I wanted to. I don't know, I don't have to explain myself to you."

"You kind of do, you kissed my girlfriend."

"I'm not your girlfriend." I state. "I barely was then, and I'm surely not now."

"Yes you are Jennifer. You've always been mine, mine and no one else's." He reaches for my hand but I pull it back quickly.

"I'm no ones." I grumble.

"How long?" He asks me.

"How long what?" I answer with an eye roll.

"How long have you been cheating on me with these assholes?"

How could he say that? They aren't assholes, their my best friends in the world. Sure Josh and I are complicated right now but I'm sure everything will figure itself out soon.

I smash my fists down on the table top angrily. "Get this straight Hoult, these two people before you are more man that you'll ever be, got it? They were there for me when you weren't. When my grandmother died, but you couldn't be bothered to come back from wherever the fuck you were.  These men here have been there for me forever, while you stayed away like the piece of shit you are!" I yell angrily.

He looks down at his hands. "I didn't know you felt that way..." He whispers. 

"Oh don't okay innocent with me, your the real asshole here. You never should have came here in the first place."

"I love you Jen." He stands and grabs my elbow.

"I don't love you Nicholas, I think you should leave, please."

"Are you going to make him leave?" He asks pointing to Josh.

"Josh and I still have to talk." I glance at Josh who sits in the corner, and looks at his hands. His eyes glued to his fingers, as he tries to avoid the gaze of Nick. 

"Fuck this, we're done." Nicholas grumbles and pushing past me towards the door. 

"Gladly." I smile a wicked smile. 

Nick stops at Josh. "If I hear from anyone, that you two are together anywhere but set, I swear to god I'll snap your neck. Got it Bucky?" He threatens.

I close my eyelids tight, let out a shaky breath and feel an arm on my shoulder. "Oh, feel bad for your little Joshy?" Nick mocks me.

"Yes." I say my voice shaky. My voice is a high pitched whine, that tells me I'm about to cry. "Get out." I say.

This time he leaves.

I look around the house, and find a glass on the counter. I smash it on the floor, and fall to my butt cradling my face in my hands. "I can't do this anymore." I tell Liam. He helps me to the couch, and sits me down.  "I don't think I'm going back to film just yet."

"Just talk to Josh, I'm gonna go to the store and get some kind of alcohol. Alright?" He asks in a calm voice.

"O-Okay.." I whisper.

Josh sits down next to me. "You've always been so beautiful, even when you cry, do you know that?" He asks me.

"Stop that." I snap bitterly.

"It's true. And when you act, it's like you become a new person. It's so amazing."

"Yeah." Is all I say.

"But it's astonishing with you."

"Josh, why'd you kiss me?" I blurt. "I just really need to know."

"Research, I guess." He shrugs.

"What?"

"I wanted to see if the kiss felt the same from being on camera to off."

"Well damn Josh, all you had to do was ask, don't scare me like that." I gush and lean my head on his firm shoulder.  He wraps an arm around my shoulders and sighs. 

"I scared you?" He asks. 

"Yeah, I thought you loved me or something like that. I mean, you can't love me. I'm your best friend." I exclaim. 

"Y-Yeah..." He says, an emotion I'm unable to read sweeps across his face. "Do you mind if I stay here tonight? It's pretty late and I don't feel like driving home." He asks me close to my ear.

"Oh, now my slumber party offer is good enough for you.."  I tease softly.

"I thought you hated me." He answers honestly. "You don't do you?" He asks.

"No I don't hate you." I whisper.

"How could I hate my Katniss.." He smiles brightly.

Sudden loud tread comes behind us, and we both look at the stairs. "Jen?" I recognize the voice as my father's. 

"Yeah, it's me." I answer.

"Well shit Jen." He comes down the stairs and unloads the shotgun in his hands. 

"Holy hell dad." I breath. 

"Oh Joshua, hi." My dad says awkwardly as he shoves the bullets into his pocket. "Am I interrupting something?"

"No! Liam just went to the store." I say.

"At one o'clock in the morning?" He asks in disbelief.

"He wanted alcohol." Josh answers bluntly.

"Oh, okay, we'll I'm going to back to bed, no yelling or anything. Night guys."

"Night dad." We both answer. Josh looks around and grabs the remote. "What are you doing?" I ask. 

"Let's watch a movie." He smiles.

"Like what?" I ask.

"House at the end of the street?" He grins mischievously. 

"Hell no! Let's just watch the Blair Witch Project, have you ever seen that?" I ask.

"I don't think so, but I heard it's really, really scary." He shakes his head and piles blankets up on our laps.

"I'll protect you." I ruffle his hair and he gives me a smile.

He turns the lights off, and I curl my legs under me and lay my head on his shoulder and look up at him. I get lost in his eyes soon. There color, the way they sparkle all the time. I need to stop thinking like this, I jus spent two minuets describing his eyes. 

"So are you gonna try and kiss me off camera again after we start filming?" I ask him.

"Why would I do that?" He questions. 

"The first scene we shoot is the beach scene, you may forget what an off camera kiss feels like." I say.

"Your lips are most likely safe." He snickers.

"Did you really feel a difference when you kissed me yesterday?" I ask. 

"Yes." He nods.

"How?"

"It was more raw." He says. "You felt, I don't know, more vulnerable, I guess."

"Oh."

"Yeah, but it was just a friendly kiss, yah know, friends do that all the time." He holds in a laugh.

"For sure." I smile.

The movie begins and his lips try to form a sequence of new words but I stop his lips with my hand. "Shh, it's starting."

***

The camera man comes downstairs, into the creepy ass basement. They call out the man's name, yet he stands still starring at the corner of the room.

I bury my face into Josh's side, and Liam snores softly next to me. "You've got to watch Jen, you already made it this far!" He exclaims.

"It's scary! Your right!" I whisper.

"Come on, I'll hold your hand." He holds my hand tight and I squint my eyes trying not to see.

The movie ends with screaming, and I wait expecting more.  Suddenly Josh gasps beside me, and jumps pushing me onto Liam.  Liam stirs under me, and I breath quickly, very scared from Josh's joke. "I hate you!" I kid and jump on top of him.

"No you don't!" He cries and pushes me onto the floor gently.

When we calm down, we both drink a few beers and fancy clear drinks.

"Let's take a selfie." He smirks. I nod and smile for his phone, he takes it and we both crack up in laughter.

"I'm going to bed idiots." Liam says groggily before standing on wobbly legs. We nod and watch him go three steps before falling onto his face, we clumsily throw a blanket over him. If I wasn't so drunk, I may have helped him instead of laughed, but I'm not in the best state of mine.

"Let's go to bed too." Josh slurs, I nod and guide us both to my bed. We both fall onto the bed and laugh loudly. The clock says four am, and I roll over so I'm facing Josh.

"Goodnight Joshy, I love you.." I slur.

"I love you too Jen."

And we fall asleep, his arm around me and my mind in pure bliss.
