A/N= First of all I just want to say that I don't own any the characters used in this story, they belong to other talented people who thought them up first, usually I put that in my description, but did not do that this time, so I'm throwing it out there now. Second of all for the record I actually love the character of Laurel Lance from Arrow, must of you who have read my previous stories know this, also I think that Katie Cassidy is a very talented actress. I needed a name for Gwen's flirty boss at the coffee shop, and unfortunately Laurel was the first one that came to mind. I was going to use Iris, but I just don't like her enough to put in my stories unless I have to, so please don't take any offense to this, I am not purposely bashing on Laurel, and if you're an Iris fan and I have offended you than I'm sorry as well.

Gwen had been back in Canada for a few months now, and between attending classes at the community college to finish her art degree, and her job at the coffee shop, she was considering exhausted. Which is most likely what lead her to agreeing to let her friends move their boyfriends into the house they shared with her and Shawn. It had all started early one Thursday morning when Zoey found Gwen sitting at the kitchen table working on the following weeks schedule for the coffee shop, sitting down the younger girl explained that her boyfriend Mike had recently lost his job, and would be losing his apartment as well. Now if Gwen had fully been listening as Zoey talk she would have seen where this conversation was going before it got to the point of Zoey saying "And I was wondering if he could move in here? If not I will understand but... I would be willing to pay the difference while he's here, plus he's a great cook!"
Deep down Gwen had a feeling that this would not be a good idea, but at the same time she  did not want to be a bitch and just say "No!" which is what had her saying by saying "Yeah, that's fine! So long as he can keep his Mal personality in check, that dude creeps me out!" "Oh, you don't know, he doesn't have multiple personalities any longer, it was being on the Island, with Chris and all of those new people that caused them!" Zoey explanations. "Well that makes sense, Chris McLean could make anyone crazy!" Gwen says more sarcastic than usual. She could feel herself starting to blush, as she thought about Chris, and all the ways he drove her crazy... Gwen was relieved that Zoey did not notice her face coloring as she threw her arms around her waist to hug her tightly before running off to most likely to call Mike, and tell him the news. A few days has passed before Bridgette came to find Gwen sitting on her bed, and she heard as her long time best friends whispering "Yes, of course I love you too!" at seeing the blonde standing at her door Gwen hung up the phone without saying another word, trying not to blush as she looked up at Bridgette, who had a smile on her lips. As she sat down on the end of Gwen's bed she said "I desperately want to ask you who you were just talking too, but I know that you will tell me when you are ready." "Yes, I will! But I do not believe that you came all the way upstairs to listen in on my phone call." "Of course not! I actually came up here because Zoey told me that you are letting Mike move in, is that true?" "Yeah, but it's only until he gets a new job, and Zoey has agreed to pay extra while he's here, plus apparently he can cook." Gwen knowing where this was going, and that she would not have said "No, to Bridgette, even if she'd have said no to the younger girl. Since Bridgette had been with Geoff for years, and he had also been one of her closest friends. Which was what had her saying "The answer to your next question is yes, I have not seen Geoff in forever!" "Thank you so much! So are you ready to tell me who was on the phone?" Bridgette asked "Nope, nice try though!" Since both Mike and Geoff were now living in the house now, Gwen had a feeling that LaShawna and Shawn would be coming to ask her if they could also move in their significant others, she and Mike had a bet going that it would be LaShawna, so when it Shawn came to her asking "So are you only letting your friends move their boyfriend in or?" "Shawn, this is your house too, sonI won't stop you from letting Jasmine can move in. I only have one condition, and that is that you both continue to attend your college classes. And also it has to be okay with her parents because I know that she is only seventeen." Gwen did not wait for LaShawna to come to her, but instead she tacked a note to her door that read "By now you know that Geoff and Mike are living here, and this morning Shawn came to ask me if Jasmine could move in. So I don't care if Justin moves in, so long as he realizes that aside from MY bathroom, there are only two bathrooms in this house, and even though he is a model that does not mean he can hog them up. Love, Gwen!" that day at work Gwen realized that she may have made a mistake letting all of these extra people move into her house, because she wad already having a hard enough time sneaking the guy she was seeing in and out, and yeah she knew that she should just come clean and tell everyone that she had been seeing Alejandro for nearly two years now. However Gwen knew that once her friends (and not just the ones living in her house, but also the ones still living in New York) knew that she had been seeing Spanish man that screwed most of them over worse than Chris had, well they would not be thrilled, and most likely would not forgive her. Most of them were still pissed over the things that teen reality show host put them through, but all of them still HATED Alejandro, as they now understand that Chris' torture was for rating, but Alejandro had done it to be spiteful, and because he could. Some part of Gwen had been surprised that she had forgiven him, but it was like her mother always said "You can't help who you love!" As Gwen had tried, and failed miserably.

A/N- Thanks to a reader called BurnedNMiami who in a private message, as to not embarrass me, pointed  out the fact that I had made a HUGE  mistake while editing this chapter. And put Chris, where it had previous/and does again (now that is) said Alejandro. I don't know what happened to make me screw up that badly, but I am so grateful that it was brought to my attention! BurnedNMiami, you are a wonderful person.
