The Glee girls invited Chris to have a girls' night at Lea's and Dianna's apartment. Chris was going to say no, because he wanted to spend his free time with Darren, but he knew they were right when they said he was spending all of his time with Darren. He had skipped sleepovers a lot lately. It was nice, catching up with the girls and having girltalk every once in a while.
"So Chris," Jenna started while focusing on polishing her toenails bright blue. Thank god I don't have to do those things. Facials, nail polish, make-up, it sounds exhausting. "how are things going with you and Darren?"
"Oh," So that's what it's going to be like. Catching up on my love life. "we're fine." That didn't sound right. "We're really good."
Chris received smirks from all the girls across the room. "How good?" Amber asked. She smelled gossip.
"Has he finally taken your precious virginity?" Leave it to Ashley to be that straightforward.
"I can't answer that." Chris squeaked. The girls were always open about absolutely everything. Chris had learned one of the typical things about girls around each other; they share details.
"Chris, we have a total lack of social life and you and Darren are the only good gossip material we've got." Leave it to Lea to be a drama queen. "Please talk to us?" She shoved some more cheesecake on Chris' plate. Food combined with those eyes certainly did the trick for him.
"Okay," He gave in and received a bunch of squeals in return. "we're talking about it." Chris was pretty sure the squeals that erupted after that did some serious damage to his hearing. "You know, I really think I'm in love with him and I'm quite confident about taking that step with him."
Before Chris knew it he was in a giant group-hug. He heard several girls say things like 'that's so amazing', 'this is too cute' and 'good for you'. Chris noticed Heather wasn't participating in the hug. When he came to think about it, she was the only one who hadn't congratulated the couple on their new relationship, and she was the only one who hadn't tried to show her sympathy towards them when Ashley and Lea outed them at the party.
Chris didn't notice when everyone went to sit down again. "Can I give you some advice?" Chris looked up up from his cheesecake. "Don't lose your virginity to Darren." Heather said. She looked deadly serious.
"What?" Chris didn't understand. The girls however seemed to be aware why Heather just said that ridiculous thing.
"There are way better options to lose it to than to him." Heather continued. Chris looked around him at his friends, his mouth hanging slightly open. None of the girls were making eye contact with him.
"Excuse me?" He said offended. He was completely taken aback by Heather. He didn't see why she was saying things like that and he had no idea what made her think she had the right to give her opinion like that. It was none of her business.
"Sex with him is horrible." What made her think she can just assume something like that? "He'll sweat on you the entire time. It's so gross, like fucking a giant sponge. Downright sloppy." She can't be serious! The others in the room didn't know what to say either.
"What would you know about sleeping with Darren?" Chris decided to talk back instead of just aimlessly staring around the room.
"I experienced it." She told him.
Chris' world stopped for a moment. She what? "What?" He asked breathlessly, like her comment had beaten the air out of him. Judging by the reactions in the room he was the only one who didn't know about it already. His friend had slept with his boyfriend and no one had told him? Darren hadn't told him.
Heather was going to make it extra clear for one more time. "I slept with him and I'm telling you, you never want to have sex again if that is your first time."
"Heather, just stop." Someone finally said. Chris didn't know who it was and he didn't care. He just didn't want to be there anymore. His evening was ruined and he just wanted to get out of there. He didn't know why Heather felt the urge to say irrational things about Darren, but he just didn't want to hear it anymore.
Chris got up, he didn't bother to gather his stuff, he would pick it up later. "Thanks for inviting me over. Too bad some of us had to ruin everything." He shot Heather a mean glare. Dianna walked him out.
When Chris was about to leave Dianna stopped him. "I'm so sorry, Chris. I don't know what got into her." Dianna apologized for her friend's inappropriate behaviour.
"It's not your fault. She just ruined the mood." Chris was pretending it didn't bother him, but Dianna saw right trough his brave face.
"We'll talk to her." She promised and kissed his cheek goodbye. She closed the door behind Chris and she stormed to the living room again. "Heather what is your problem?" Dianna asked angrily. "Don't you see how happy Chris is? Don't you see he is finally getting serious with someone?"
"It's just weird, okay?" Heather said in a small voice. She was rubbing her arms to sooth herself, because she knew she'd get all the girls over her for the things she said. The girls didn't seem to get her answer. "It's just strange for me to see a guy that I slept with is now dating another guy." She explained.
"Is that what this is about? Really?" Asked Naya who was sitting next to Heather. She couldn't believe what she was hearing from her best friend. She never expected Heather to choose something stupid like this over Chris' happiness.
"Heather, you two never dated!" Lea cut in. "You had a fling, something physical. What you and Darren had is nothing compared to what he and Chris have." She tried to talk reason into the blonde, but she didn't seem to get trough.
"Where is this coming from?" Amber asked. "Do you have feelings for him?"
"No," Heather answered. They knew each other for quite some time, so they were able to tell when someone was lying. And Heather wasn't lying. "but he was attracted to me and now he's attracted to Chris."
"You're being stupid. He just told you he is in love with Darren and you pull this crap on him because you want to be the only one in this group who has slept with Darren. He is your friend and this is not what friends do. Chris was about to take a big step in his relationship and for all we know you might have ruined it by being an absolute bitch." Heather was offended by Dianna's words at first, but then she realised she was right. What if Chris got mad at Darren because of this?
"You just admitted you don't have feelings for Darren. And guess what, Chris does." Ashley informed Heather. "You have no reason to say stuff about how Darren is in bed and we don't want to hear about it either."
