Friday morning, Charlotte woke up to a knock at her door.

"Becky?" She asked as she opened the door.

Becky walked into her dorm in a black hoodie, carrying two coffee's.

"Morning." Becky said.

Charlotte took one of the coffee's and got back in bed.

"What are you doing here so early?" Charlotte asked.

"What was Roman doing here?" Becky asked as she leaned against her desk.

"How did you know?" Charlotte asked.

"I have eyes everywhere, you know that." Becky told her.

"He wants to help." Charlotte said.

"Roman wants to help us?" Becky asked.

"I think we should let him." Charlotte said.

"Okay, he can help us but I don't want him to tell anyone else." Becky said.

"I know." Charlotte said.

Becky sighed and took a sip of her coffee.

"How have you been?" Charlotte asked.

"Charlotte.. I'm here for business, not small talk." Becky said.

"If you are just here for business then why didn't you just have Drew come here and ask me about Roman?" Charlotte asked as she stood up and walked closer to Becky.

"Because I wanted to see her. I haven't checked on her in a few weeks." Becky said.

"Don't you have you your men parked outside her house every night?" Charlotte asked.

"I do but I just.. I need to see her." Becky said.

"Right." Charlotte said in disappointment.

"I've gotta go, I'll see you later." Becky said as she walked out the door.

Charlotte fell back on her bed and let out a sigh.

That morning, Seth woke up to find Alexa walking around his loft in nothing but Dean's t-shirt.

"You stayed over last night?" Dean asked.

"Jealous?" Alexa asked.

"I have a girlfriend." Seth said.

"I'm just messing with you. Look I know a lot has happened but I think Dean and I can really make this work this time." Alexa said.

"I thought you two were just sleeping together.. Are you guys like dating?" Seth asked.

"I don't know but maybe." Alexa said.

"Lexi, Dean isn't in the best place right now." Seth said.

"He seems fine to me." Alexa said as she poured herself a cup of coffee.

"He's not himself." Seth said.

"He is, actually. He may not be the Dean that you guys want him to be but he is the same Dean that I fell in love with freshmen year." Alexa said.

"Yeah.. you mean my best friend Dean? The same best friend that you cheated on me with?" Seth asked.

"Yeah, that's the one." Alexa said as she walked away.

Seth rolled his eyes and buried his face in his hands.

That day at lunch, Bayley and Sasha sat down with the others.

"You guys are coming to Roman's house for the party tonight right?" Sasha asked.

"Of course we are coming." Finn said.

"Sasha, are you joining the school newspaper?" Mike asked.

"Roman told you?" Sasha asked.

"What? Why didn't you tell me?" Bayley asked.

"I was going to but I wasn't sure if I was going to go through with it." Sasha said.

"Why not? I think it's a great idea. You used to write all the time when we were younger." Bayley said.

"You really don't mind?" Sasha asked.

"No, I'm happy for you. As much as I would like to, I can't expect you to be by my side all the time." Bayley said.

"Okay then, I'm going to do it." Sasha said.

"Good." Bayley said with a smile on her face.

At Joe's, Seth went downstairs to find Dean having lunch with Dana. He shook his head as Dean got up and refilled his drink.

"What the hell are you doing?" Seth asked as he approached him.

"I'm getting a refill." Dean said.

"I mean what are you doing with Dana?" Seth asked.

"Just having lunch." Dean said.

"I ran into Alexa this morning." Seth said.

"Good for you." Dean said.

"She thinks you guys dating." Seth said.

"But we're not." Dean said.

"Maybe you should tell her that." Seth said.

"It's not my fault if she is getting too attached." Dean said.

"Can you at least talk to Alexa before you sleep with Dana?" Seth asked.

"Too late." Dean said with a smirk on his face.

Seth watched in disbelief  as Dean returned to the table with Dana.

After school, Roman picked Mandy up from school and they went back to his house. They sat on the couch together and watched Friends.

"I can't believe Ross cheated on Rachel." Roman said.

"They were on a break.." Mandy said.

"That doesn't make it okay. Cheating is cheating." Roman said.

"Right." Mandy said.

"I just don't understand how some people can do that you know?" Roman asked.

"Roman.." Mandy said as she paused the t.v.

"What's going on? Why did you pause it?" Roman asked.

"I have to tell you something." Mandy said.

Roman looked into Mandy's eyes and suddenly realized she was being serious.

"What is it, Mandy?" Roman asked.

Mandy opened her mouth as if she were going to say something but Sasha walked in before she could get it out.

"Who's ready to party?" Sasha asked.

That evening, everyone made their way to Roman's house for the big party. Sasha and Bayley were playing beer pong with Mike and Finn while Seth and Aj stood by the bar with Mandy and Roman.

"Hey guys, have you seen Dean?" Alexa asked as she approached them.

"Lexi.." Seth said.

"Your Alexa? I'm Aj, it's nice to meet you." Aj said as she shook her hand.

"You're Bayley's sister?" Alexa asked.

"Yeah, that's the one." Aj said.

Dean walked inside and approached everyone.

"Hey, I've been looking for you." Alexa said.

"I have to go to the bathroom." Mandy said as she hurried away.

"Why were you looking for me?" Dean asked.

Alexa looked at him with confusion as Peyton approached Dean.

"There you are." Dean said as he kissed her on the lips.

Seth and Aj watched as Alexa's smile faded from her face.

"We are going to go dance, you guys have fun." Dean said.

The song "Scary Love" by The Neighborhood came on as Dean dragged Peyton away. Bayley smiled at Dean but he pretended not to see her. Sasha spun Bayley around as she laughed.

Alexa walked off, trying to hide her disappointment.

"Go check on her." Aj said.

"Me?" I'm good." Seth said.

"I'll go." Aj said as she put down her beer.

Outside, Alexa sat down on the steps and began to cry.

"Are you okay?" Aj asked as she sat down next to her.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Alexa said.

"If he doesn't want to be with you then it's his loss, you know that right?" Aj asked.

"Wow.. You're really good at this whole big sister thing huh?" Alexa laughed.

Inside, Mandy returned from the bathroom and grabbed herself a drink.

"What did you want to talk to me about earlier? It seemed important." Roman said.

Mandy watched Dean dance with Peyton and took a sip of her beer.

"No, it's nothing." Mandy said.

"Okay.." Roman said in confusion.

After the song, Sasha and Bayley walked over to Roman, Mandy, and Seth.

"You're not drinking tonight?" Seth asked.

"Not tonight." Bayley said with a smile on her face.

Seth smiled and looked over at Dean as he approached.

"Hand me a beer?" Dean asked.

Roman grabbed a beer and handed it to Dean. He took a sip and looked over at Mandy. Mike and Finn walked over to everyone, clearly drunk.

"Wow, what hell guys?" Roman asked.

"Look.. I know we look drunk and yeah.. we had a few drinks but.." Finn slurred his words.

"But nope! We are not drunk." Mike said with his eyes closed.

Roman nudged Finn on the shoulder and he fell to the ground.

"Okay..maybe he's drunk." Mike said.

Roman nudged Mike on he shoulder next, causing him to fall down with Finn.

"Damn it." Mike said.

Everyone laughed and watched Mike and Finn try to get back up.

After the party, Roman and Mandy passed out in his room while Sasha and Bayley were asleep across the hall. Mike and Finn never made it off the floor and Aj and Seth were cuddling in the couch. Dean was in the guest room with Peyton.

In the middle of the night, Bayley got up to use the restroom. After she went to the bathroom she didn't go back to Sasha's room right away. Bayley tip toed down the hall and opened the guest room door. Dean was sound asleep with Peyton laying on his chest. Bayley stood in the doorway for a minute and watched him sleep. A smile came across her face as she remembered the way she used to lay on Dean's chest like that. She let out a sigh and walked back down the hall. Sasha was sound asleep when Bayley crawled back into bed. She put her arm around Sasha and closed her eyes.

The next morning, everyone got up and had their coffee.

"Morning." Roman said as Mandy walked out of his room.

"Morning babe." Mandy said as she kissed him on the cheek.

Seth and Aj got up and joined the others.

"Did they sleep there all night?" Aj asked as she looked down at Mike and Finn.

"Yep." Roman laughed.

Bayley walked into the kitchen and sat down next to Roman. Seth rolled his eyes as Dean walked into the kitchen with his shirt off and sat on the counter.

"Morning sunshine." Roman said as Sasha walked out of the her room.

"Go to hell." Sasha mumbled as she poured herself a cup of coffee.

Bayley laughed with Roman as Sasha took a sip.

"Good morning, babe." Sasha said as she sat down next to Bayley.

Sasha smiled over at Roman as if to say good morning. Bayley glanced over at Dean and noticed something strange.

"Is that a scar?" Bayley asked.

"What?" Dean asked.

"There's a scar on your abdomen.. that wasn't there before. What happened?" Bayley asked.

"Oh it's nothing." Dean said as he tried to cover it up.

"It looks like someone stabbed you." Seth said.

"No, man. I was um.. I fell at a party, that's all." Dean said.

Bayley watched Dean, wondering what he was hiding.

That morning , Becky watched from across the street as Bayley kissed Sasha goodbye. She observed the smile on Bayley's face as she got into Seth car with Aj. Inside, everyone else had already left. Sasha jumped on the couch and leaned against Roman as he turned on Netflix.

"What are we watching today?" Sasha asked.

"Gossip Girl?" Roman asked.

"It's like you read my mind." Sasha said.

Roman put his arm around Sasha as she curled up next to him.
