"Wren! Lovely girl! I'm so happy you're ok, and the whole switched at birth scenario explains so much! You're father never made good grades; he was much too rebellious." My grandmother squeezed my dad's cheek affectionately, and then came over to give me a tight hug. Chris laughed, and I looked up to glare at him. Now wasn't the time, I strictly reminded myself.

My family settled in nicely to my grandmother's three bedroom house. It was a tight fit, but pallets were mad and the pull-out sofa was prepared. My grandmother and Iggy argued over who was going to cook dinner. I, myself, was residing in a room with Chris's sisters and Angel. It had two twin beds and a night stand settled in between them comfortably. The room itself was comfortable. Lace curtains adorned the windows and rose pattern comforters were fitted over the beds. Crystal and Angel shared a bed, while Christianna and I claimed the other.

I left the room where Crystal and Christianna were jumping on the beds. I headed towards the living room. There, Kayden was whining to Jared for not playing with him (hahaha, the sucker), and Eric, like me, was laughing at him, but unlike me; he was doing it out loud. I wasn't really in the mood for Kay's tantrums, and I wanted to stay clear of the kitchen where I still heard Iggy and Granny arguing. The sun room in the back of the house was occupied by Iggy and Nudge who were doing decidedly grown-up things. I figured the rest of the house was as full as these rooms, so instead I walked outside for some space. Chris was there. Perfect.

"Hey Chris."

"Wren!" He jumped and spun around quickly. I walked up to him, stared him in the eyes for a single second, then I kneed him in his tender spot. Hard. He doubled over with a cry of pain.

"A real man wouldn't cheat on his girlfriend. You don't deserve those."

"Wow. Smooth Wren. Really nice of you," he said sarcastically as he leaned against a tree for support.

"You freaking jerk. You kissed one of my best friends."

"I didn't kiss her! She kissed me!"

"But I'm sure you liked it. Did you pull away?" He remained silent. "I didn't think so!" I turned to leave him, then snapped back, "I despise you! You liar! Love can't exist where trust isn't."

I calmed myself, but I wanted to get back at him. I had to get back at him, "Guess what. I pulled back when Jared kissed me. Yes, Jared kissed me, and you know what? I liked it. I liked it a lot." I wouldn't leave now. No, I had to show him that I was strong.

Chris pleaded, "I never meant to hurt you Wren. It just happened. I'm sorry."

"Sorry doesn't cut it." I was shocked that he didn't say anything about Jared.

My shock was premature. "Jared's a cheater too then. He cheated on our friendship."

"I think he likes me more than you ever did."

"You don't know that Wren."

"Hey Wren! You out here? Your grandma won the spatula war and dinner's ready." Jared called.

"Hey, Jared get out here," Chris called back. Oh crap.

"Is it true?" Chris asked the moment Jared was in sight.

"Is what true?" He asked right back, a confused look lighting his face.

"That you kissed my girl!"

"I am NOT your girl!" I cried back.

"According to Wren just now, no."

Chris rolled his eyes in irritation, "Have you ever kissed Wren?"

Jared shrugged, "Yeah."

"How can you seem so careless about it? That's huge!" Chris raised his voice slightly towards the end.

"It was nice and I don't regret it." My heart warmed.

"I thought that you liked April." I put in at the exact same time as Chris. I said it more as a statement, while Chris used it as an angry exclamation.

"Yeah, she's nice and all but not really my type. Plus, there wasn't a spark between us." That was all he said, and then he carelessly turned to go back in for dinner.

Chris looked me over then with steam blowing from his ears, he stamped after Jared. I followed more slowly. Whenever I entered the kitchen full of happy banter, I calmed down some from the previous incident and smiled at Kayden who had spaghetti sauce running down his chin. All four of my parents were arguing over our next move, but I didn't pay attention. Instead I kept glancing over to Jared and Chris who were a mile away from each other. I sighed. As mad as I was at Chris and Jared too, because well, they really both were two-way-ers with my friends and me (Jared with April and Chris with Stacey), I couldn't help but feel bad about ruining their relationship. Hopefully, it wouldn't be a permanent thing.

After dinner, I went straight to bed. We all did. It had been a long and exhausting day.

I was glad that I wasn't stuck with sleeping with Crystal because every five seconds she kicked Angel in the face. How is that possible? She did a 180 while sleeping, that's how. Christianna on the other hand was a complete angel while she slept. She didn't snore, kick, punch, or rotate herself.

Tap, tap, tap. I glanced up towards the door. I slowly, as to not wake Christianna, pulled myself from the bed. I opened the door a small crack and glanced through it to see Jared.

What did he want?

"What Jared?" I asked in a harsh whisper as I closed the door behind me.

"You and Chris broke up."

"Obviously."

"So I can do this." It wasn't a question. He reached behind my head and pulled my face towards his own. Tenderly, he kissed me. To pull away or to not pull away? To not pull away was for sure. I was not restricted by Chris or any other shackle. I kissed him back passionately, then broke away from him. We both smiled at each other while looking deep into the other's eyes. Then, we laughed.

A/N An over-whelming amount asked for more which made me supppper happy. A cheesy beginning, I know, but it was fun to write and I hope it was also also fun to read!

CeleryFallenAngel: It's kinda fun sometimes to leave loose ends, so the reader can use their imagination and create their own ending in their head. I know I like to sometimes, but other times, I know I do hate it when the story just ends and that's that.
