Wednesday morning, Becky, Alexa and Kenny were all seating in chairs lined up in the dining room as Kathleen and August stared at them furiously.

"You knew about this?" Kathleen asked Kenny.

"Not exactly.." Kenny tried to say.

"You really thought we wouldn't notice you dyed your hair?" August asked.

"It's just the tips." Becky told them.

August and Kathleen looked at Becky seriously for a moment.

"But you can probably see that.." Becky said as she looked away from them.

Kathleen and August got quiet for a moment.

"You need to take those piercing out and we'll fix your hair after school." Kathleen told her.

"No." Alexa said suddenly.

Becky and Kenny looked over at Alexa in surprise.

"No?" Kathleen asked.

"I like my hair like this and I like the piercings. I want to keep them." Alexa said.

August and Kathleen were a little taken back by Alexa's revelation.

"I've had more fun since Becky's been in town than I have my entire life. And last night I actually got to let go and be myself. I'm not changing my hair back." Alexa told them.

"Okay." August said.

Everyone including Kathleen looked at August in confusion.

"If she likes it than she can keep it." August said.

Kathleen took a deep breath and looked at the three teenagers.

"Go on, you'll be late for school." Kathleen told them.

All them of them got up and rushed out of the dining room in a hurry.

That morning at school, Seth was sitting on the front steps with Miz, Maryse, Cody and Sasha.

"Where were you last night? I tried calling you." Maryse asked Miz.

"Sorry, I was hanging out with Seth." Miz told her.

Everyone looked at him skeptically, wondering why he was being so vague about last night.

Suddenly, Renee walked up the sidewalk and locked eyes with Seth. He got up and ran over to her.

"Can we talk?" Seth asked her.

Renee looked down uncomfortably.

"I really have to get to class." Renee said as she tried to walk away.

Seth grabbed her arm and stopped her.

"Come on, don't be like this." Seth said as he looked down at her.

Renee looked up at up him with caution.

"Just talk to me." Seth told her.

Renee looked back and saw all their friends watching them.

"Fine." Renee said.

Seth lead the way down the side walk to the side of the school so they could have some privacy.

"Look you caught me off guard last night. I didn't mean to react like that." Seth told her.

Renee looked up at his eyes with and ache in her chest.

"You're my best friend, Renee." Seth said.

"I don't need a repeat of last night. You don't feel the same.. I get it." Renee said.

"I'm not good enough for you, okay?" Seth told her.

Renee looked up at him surprisingly.

"I never have been and probably never will be." Seth said.

"Seth." Renee tried to stop him.

"I don't want to lose my best friend." Seth said.

Renee began to tear up as Seth reached for her hand.

"I can't do this." Renee said as she walked away.

Seth let out a sigh of frustration, not liking the situation he was being put in. After a few deep breathes he made his way back to his friends, only to find Kenny sitting on he steps waiting for him.

"Shit." Seth let out as Kenny got up walked towards him.

Everyone watched in amusement as Alexa and Becky met up with Kota and Dean.

"Kenny, I-." Seth began to say before Kenny punched him in the gut.

"You know what that's for?" Kenny asked as Seth clenched his fist in pain.

"Yep." Seth said he struggled to breathe.

Dean looked over at Seth with concern but tried his best not to show it.

"Is Kenny always that protective?" Becky asked.

"Not of everyone." Kota mumbled under his breath.

"If it were me that had been making out with Seth he probably would have killed him." Alexa told her.

"Well, damn. That could come in handy one day." Becky said.

Everyone shared a small laugh.

Inside, Renee was in the bathroom crying when Carmella walked in.

"What happened?" Carmella asked.

"Seth." Renee said as she threw herself into Carmella's arms.

Carmella held her friend's head to comfort her. It didn't take a genius to figure out what had happened.

That day at lunch, Kenny was talking with his friends at their table.

"You guys are coming to the photoshoot next week, right?" Carmella asked.

Everyone looked around at each other awkwardly.

"I'm not going." Roman told her bluntly.

"But I told my mother you would be there." Carmella said.

"Well now you can tell her I'm not coming." Roman said.

Carmella stared at him in disbelief for a moment before bringing her attention back to her friends.

"I'm not really in the mood to watch you suck up to your mother." Seth told her.

"We've got dinner plans so we can't make it." Miz added.

She looked over at Miz and Maryse with disappointment.

"And what about you guys?" Carmella asked Cody and Sasha.

"We're doing a double date with them." Cody told her as he looked to Miz and Maryse.

Kenny looked over at Carmella apologetically.

"Renee?" Carmella asked hopefully.

"Sure. I'll be there." Renee said with reluctance.

"At least someone here is actually my friend." Carmella said.

Over at Becky's table, she was sitting with Kota, Dean and Alexa.

"I like your new look." Dean told Alexa.

"Thanks." Alexa said awkwardly.

Kota accidentally glanced over to Kenny's table and noticed Cody staring a hole through him.

"What is that guys problem anyway?" Becky asked as she looked back at Cody.

"He's a dick. I thought that was pretty obvious?" Dean joked.

"I know but why? I mean what's his problem with you, Kota?" Becky asked.

"That's a good question." Kota said as he looked over at Cody again.

"So how did your hang out with Sasha go last night? No one killed each other?" Dean asked Becky and Alexa.

"What are you talking about?" Becky asked.

Kota and Alexa looked at each other for a second.

"Sasha is like Alexa's Cody. She's been picking on her since like third grade." Dean told Becky.

Becky looked at Alexa in confusion.

"What's he talking about?" Becky asked her.

"It's not a big deal. Besides, she was nice to me last night." Alexa told her.

"She was?" Kota and Dean asked at the same time.

Becky looked over at Sasha skeptically for a moment.

"Don't you remember that time she invited everyone to her sleepover except for you?" Kota asked.

"And didn't she actually invite you one time but give you the wrong address?" Dean asked.

"That was a long time ago." Alexa tried to brush it off.

Becky looked at her curiously.

"Just a few weeks ago she dumped spaghetti on you in the lunch line." Dean said.

"Is that true? Sasha really did all that?" Becky asked in disbelief.

Alexa just shrugged her shoulders and continued eating her food.

"She's been nice to me since you've been here." Alexa said.

"Yeah, she has hasn't she?" Kota realized.

"I wonder why?" Dean asked curiously.

Becky shook her head in disapproval.

"And Kenny just let's her do this shit to you?" Becky asked.

"He's not always around when it happens." Alexa said.

Becky looked around the table in frustration.

"Fuck this." Becky said as she got up.

Dean, Alexa, and Kota watched with concern as Becky stormed over to Kenny's table.

"You're all fucking assholes." Becky said.

Everyone looked up at her in amusement.

"Becky." Kenny stood up to stop her.

"You are such a coward, you know that?" Becky asked him.

Kenny looked at her in confusion as everyone in the cafeteria took notice of the situation.

"It's one thing to let your friends push around your boyfriend but your sister? Really?" Becky asked.

Sasha looked down shamefully as Becky brought her attention to her.

"And to think I actually thought you were different." Becky said seriously.

Sasha looked up at her apologetically.

"And you two!" Becky said as she looked over at Renee and Seth.

Dean glanced over at the altercation awkwardly.

"What kind of friends are you? Dean was one of your best friends and you just abandoned him!" Becky yelled in frustration.

Miz and Maryse have each other a worried look as Becky glanced at them.

"You guys are okay." Becky told them.

Roman rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"And who the fuck are you anyway? Do you even go here? I mean I've only seen you at school like twice." Becky said.

"Fuck you." Roman said as he stood up.

"Wait. Are you like Batman or something? Is that where you're always sneaking off to?" Becky joked.

Dena couldn't help but laugh while Kota and Alexa tried to hide their faces. Becky looked over at Carmella for a second.

"I don't really know you but you look like someone I should hate." Becky told her.

Cody stood up, knowing that Becky was coming for him next.

"And what the hell is your problem? Are you really so fucked up that you have make everyone else's lives a living hell? I mean what's your deal with Kota? Why do you have to pick on him so much?" Becky asked.

Kota watched with concern as Becky got in Cody's face.

"Do you really hate him that much? Or is it because you hate yourself?" Becky asked seriously.

Cody eyes filled with tears as he kept his guard up. Sasha watched Cody and Becky with and unsettling feeling in her stomach.

"That's enough, Becky." Sasha told her.

Becky looked over at her with disappointment in her eyes.

"By the way, Ace. You can do a hell of a lot better than him." Becky said directly to Sasha.

Everyone watched as Becky backed away slowly. Dean handed her her bag and they walked out  the cafeteria. Kota and Alexa stood their awkwardly for a moment and Kenny's friends stared at them.

"We uh.. we should probably go." Kota said.

"Yep." Alexa said as they quickly grabbed their things and ran after Dean and Becky.

Seth casually put his bag over his shoulder and walked away.

"Where the fuck are you going, Rollins?" Cody asked.

Seth didn't respond, he just kept walking. Renee was too upset to follow him or give any reaction to what Becky just said.

"Dean!" Seth yelled as he caught up with him and the others in the hallway.

They all turned around in confusion as Seth approached them.

"She's right. We were wrong to leave you like we did. I'm sorry." Seth told him.

Dean looked at Seth for a moment.

"Are you apologizing because you're sorry or to score points with Becks?" Dean asked.

Seth glanced over at Becky and let out a slight smile.

"Both, I guess:" Seth told him.

Becky smiled to herself as Dean took Seth's apology into consideration.

"You really are an asshole, man." Dean joked.

"I know. But I thought maybe we could hang out tonight?" Seth asked him.

Dean looked at his new friend for moment as they waited for his response.

"Fine." Dean said with hesitance.

Seth let out a slight smile as Becky looked him up and down.

"Come by my place tonight. Eight o'clock." Seth told Dean before walking away.

That evening, August and Kathleen were attending a charity event in town so Kenny invited Cody and Miz over. Kenny has stolen some of his father's liquor and brought it out to Miz and Maryse when Cody arrived with Sasha.

"So much for guys night." Kenny said in annoyance.

Sasha rolled her eyes and sat down with everyone.

Kenny looked inside when he heard the doorbell ring. He stood up in confusion when Becky ran downstairs and let Kota in. Cody and Miz watched in annoyance as Kenny popped his head inside.

"What's going on?" Kenny asked as Alexa walked out of the kitchen with a few bottles of liquor.

"You're having friends over so why can't we?" Becky asked.

Kenny looked over at Kota with concern.

"I don't know about this.." Kenny told Becky and Alexa.

"Come on, Kota." Becky said as she and Alexa grabbed him and pulled him upstairs.

At Carmella's house, she and Renee were having their own girls night.

"Okay, what's wrong?" Carmella asked as she paused the movie.

"What? Nothing." Renee assured her.

"You've been pouting ever since you got here. What's wrong?" Carmella asked.

Renee looked over at Carmella and took a deep breath.

"Seth.. I think I ruined things between us." Renee told her.

Carmella observed Renee for a moment with sympathy in her eyes.

"Okay. Come on." Carmella said as she pulled Renee up on her feet.

"What? Where are we going?" Renee asked in confusion.

"We're going out so you can stop feeling sorry for yourself." Carmella told her.

At Seth's house, he and Dean had pulled out a few old scrap books to reminisce on old times.

"Oh my god." Seth said as he found a photo.

Dean looked over and examined the photo of him, Seth and Renee. A young Dean and Seth could be seen kissing each of Renee's cheeks.

"I think that was after Sunday school wasn't it?" Dean asked.

"Yeah, we had to be like five or so." Seth laughed.

"What about this one?" Dean asked as he showed a photo of Dean chasing Renee with the insides of a pumpkin.

Seth burst out into laughter. Dean suddenly pulled out another photo, this time just of him and Seth. They standing covered in mud and exaggerating their smiles for the camera.

"I remember that day.. we had a blast, man." Seth told him.

"We did, didn't we?" Dean asked.

They both sat there for a moment and examined the photo further.

"Okay, that's enough of this. Let's go out and have some fun." Seth told him.

Back at August and Kathleen's house, Becky was hanging out upstairs with Alexa and Kota.

"That looks amazing on you!" Kota said as Alexa modeled one of her mothers party dresses.

"I'm going to grab some chips." Becky said as she left the room.

Sasha was in the kitchen getting ice when Becky walked down in her pajamas. She walked cautiously towards Sasha and reached above her to get the chips out of the cabinet.

"Are you really not going to say a word to me?" Sasha asked her.

Becky looked down at her for a moment.

"You can't honestly be mad at me for something that happened before we even met." Sasha told her.

"It's not just about Alexa.. it's everything. We're just two different people, Sasha." Becky told her.

"So that's it then? We're just done being friends?" Sasha asked as Becky began to walk away.

"You and me.. We we're ever friends, Sasha." Becky said before walking away.

In town, Renee and Carmella were walking down main street with milkshakes in hand.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to a strip club?" Carmella asked.

Renee laughed to herself.

"I'm sure, Mella." Renee told her.

Carmella glanced down at all the unreplied messages she had sent Roman.

"Hey."

"Are you okay?"

"I love you."

     -Carmella

She put her phone away and pretended she has noticed that the messages were marked as read.

"You know.. I think you are all I need, NeNe." Carmella said as she put her arm around Renee.

"Oh really?" Renee asked.

Carmella smiled over at her best friend.

"Of course. You're the only person that's stuck by side all these years.. You've been there for me even when I didn't know I needed someone. You're all I've got, Renee." Carmella said a little to seriously.

Renee gave Carmella a sympathetic look.

"And besides.. Didn't you know that we're soulmates?" Carmella asked.

The two girls shared a laugh as they continued walking through town  together.

It was only a few streets over that Dean had brought Seth to an old run down bar he liked to go to.

"So you like it?" Dean asked as they drank together.

"I kind of feel like I might get stabbed at any moment." Seth said as he looked around cautiously.

"That's the fun part." Dean told him.

Seth let out a small laugh.

"It's been awhile since we've done this." Dean said.

"I know, man.. And I'm sorry. We should have never shut you out like we did." Seth told him

Dean looked down uncomfortably for a moment.

"What's going on between you guys, anyway?" Dean asked as he tried to hide his curiosity.

Seth looked up at him with caution.

"What do you think.." Seth said unfortunately.

Dean immediately knew what he was referring to.

"You remember that day on the playground.. You proposed with that damn ring pop?" Dean asked.

Seth shook his head and took a sip of his beer.

"No, not really." Seth lied.

Dean furrowed his eyes in confusion.

"Oh, well I thought you would have.. I always thought you guys-." Dean tried to say.

"We're friends, Dean." Seth interrupted him.

Dean was a little taken back by Seth's defensiveness. Seth suddenly saw a tall blonde walk out of the bathroom.

"Excuse me." Seth said with a bit of frustration.

Dean glanced back in confusion as Seth started hitting on the blonde.

"Lana." She introduced herself.

"Seth." He told her with a smirk on his face.

Dean got up and stormed out of the bar. Seth rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Give me a second." Seth told Lana.

He ran outside after Dean.

"What the hell man? Where are you going?" Seth asked.

Dean turned around and gave Seth a disappointing look.

"Look, I know a lot has changed since we.. were us.. But that's not me. When I said I wanted to hang out I meant it. So if you wanna go hookup with the girl in there then go ahead. I'm gonna head home." Dean told him.

Seth just stared at him for a moment. Dean let out a small laugh.

"You know you used to do this when you were younger too.. When something pissed you off or upset you, you'd always act out." Dean told him.

Seth shook his head in disapproval of how well Dean knew him.

"I'll see you around, man." Dean told him.

Seth watched Dean walk away with a sharp pain in his chest. He suddenly walked back inside and approached Lana.

"You wanna get out of here?" Seth asked.

Lana smiled in approval.

Renee and Carmella had sat down on on a curb as they finished their milkshakes.

"How's your brother doing?" Carmella asked suddenly.

Renee looked down uncomfortably for a moment.

"He's doing okay.. They just changed his meds so hopefully we'll see some changes." Renee told her.

"You know I'm always here if you need me, right?" Carmella asked.

Renee looked up at Carmella with a smile on her face.

"I may not be Seth but I'm still here." Carmella told her.

Renee rested her head on Carmella's shoulder as she grabbed her hand.

Dean was walking down the street on his way home from the bar when he saw a familiar black jeep parked on the street. With his hands in his pockets Dean looked closer to find Roman in the driver's seat with a half naked Peyton Royce straddled over him. Her breasts pressed up against his chest as he kissed her neck. That's when Roman saw Dean standing there. Dean shook his head in annoyance and began to walk away as Roman pushed Peyton off of him. Peyton watched in confusion as Roman got out of the car. He ran his hands through his hair in frustration as Dean disappeared down the street.

"Fuck!" Roman yelled as he kicked the ground.

That night when Seth got home, he was trying to get what Dean said out of his head. He rinsed his face with water and just stared at himself in the mirror for a moment. Then he suddenly walked over to his dresser and slowly opened the second drawer. It was full of socks.. But Seth reached into the far left corner and grabbed a small box he'd hidden there. He took a deep breath before opening it. Inside was the blue ring pop he'd once used to propose to Renee on the playground that day. Seth let out a slight smile as his heart grew warm. He shut the box and hid it back in his sock door as he tried to fight back tears.

It was almost eleven as the night went on at Kathleen and August's house. A black Cadillac was parked just far enough away not to be seen. The song, "Dangerous" by Big Data could be heard playing over the radio as Finn Balor sat in the drivers seat in a black ball cap.

How could you know, how could you know?
That those were my eyes
Peepin through the floor, it's like they know

Finn watched the upstairs window carefully as Becky modeled a dress for Kota and Alexa.

It's like they know I'm looking from the outside

He grabbed his camera and took notice of Kenny and his friends sitting on the patio.

And creeping to the door, it's like they know

And now they coming, yeah, now they coming
Out from the shadows

Finn took photo's of both Sasha and Cody as they shared a kiss.

To take me to the court because they know

He took a few extra photo's of Sasha.

Gotta shut this down, cause they been watching all my windows

Then Finn looked back up Becky's window as she took off the dress.

They gathered up the warant cuz' they know

He took several photo's of her in her bra as he began to get excited.

You understand, I got a plan for us

As Becky let out a playful laugh, Finn made sure to get as many photo's of her smile as possible.

I bet you didn't know that I was dangerous

Finn just watched her for a moment before he let out a slight smile himself.

It must be fate, I found a place for us

In the floorboard of the passenger seat was a bloodied knife wrapped in a white cloth.

I bet you didn't know someone could love you this much

Finn put his car in drive and pulled out onto the street. He'd tapped his finger's on the steering wheel to the sound of the music as he made his way through town.

How could they know, how could they know
What I been thinking?
But they're right inside my head, because they know
Because they know, what I been hidin'

Finn pulled into the parking lot behind the Rollins' new cafe and got out of his car.

They're right under my bed, they're in control
Here they come, yeah here they come
Out of the shadows

He walked to the side of the building and walked up the fire escape to the loft over the cafe.

To take me to the club because they know
Gotta shut this down, cause they been watching all my windows
They gathered up a warant cuz' they know

Finn turned on the lights, revealing a rather disturbing photo wall.

And I've gotta get out of here

Nearly every photo was of Becky. Her with Kathleen and August.. Her at school, her with Sasha, her facing off with Cody..

Sink down, into the dark

There were photo's of Becky with Alexa and Kenny.. Photo's of her with Dean and Kota.. 

Keep on running

But the photo's that really seemed to get Finn's attention were those of Becky with Seth and Sasha..

And I've gotta get out of here, (keep on running)

Finn examined all the photo's of Seth and Sasha with their friends.

Sink down, into the dark

Then he put up a new photo of Becky smiling before turning around slowly. Behind him, tied to a chair with duck taped covering her mouth in the middle of his empty loft was Paige.

You understand, I got a plan for us
I bet you didn't know that I was dangerous
It must be fate, I found a place for us
I bet you didn't know that I was dangerous
