Hey, sorry for my ridiculously short and badly written last chapter. I was really tired while writing it but knew I had to hurry up and get it posted so I did a really shitty job of it! I needed to put it in though to show you how the arrangement between Kathryn and Jake works out. I really feel that it was some of my worst work. I hope you found it okay. Here is (hopefully) a much better chapter:

"No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals"

- Nickelback, Animals.

No matter what the consequences were after that day, I always look back on the charity event with glee. No matter how much I have changed and how much has changed, I still find pleasure in manipulating everyone around me. Looking back now, I cannot help but smirk at the memory of Sebastian and Annette's fight. I cannot help the fact that I take pride in other people's misfortune and unhappiness; I am just wired that way.

"Jesus," I had hissed out, my hands tugging on the dark hair they were tangled in. Jake's tongue was extremely talented. My hips were rocking to the rhythm his tongue was setting. My dress was up around my waist, my panties shoved carelessly aside and my slim leg hooked over Jake's shoulder. His teeth grazed that spot and I felt myself edging nearer and nearer climax. The heat was coiling inside of my, my muscles tensing and I started scratching at the base of his neck.

"Fuck, I'm going t…" I started but was interrupted by Jake's hand covering my mouth. His lips stopped, my mind blurred with confusion and I pushed my body towards him in a silent plea for him to continue his ministrations.

"Shh!" he whispered and pulled me further into the shadows of the alleyway. We had sneaked out of the back entrance of the hall and had been fooling around in the rather dank and dirty alley around the back. To my great frustration, someone else had clearly decided to sneak out as well.

"Here you go my friend," one male figure said. I instantly recognised the voice as Blaine's.

"Thanks you, you have no idea how much I needed this," the other figure replied. I hurriedly realigned my panties and shoved my dress down- it was Sebastian's voice and if I was trying to make him believe I was all holy and good like Annette, him seeing me be eaten out in an alley would not help.

"I miss you Valmont, you haven't come for a joint in forever," I rolled my eyes. Annette sure had Sebastian on a tight leash; she wasn't even letting him see Blaine.

"Yeah, well I kind of quit," Sebastian mumbled between puffs.

"You 'kind of quit'?" Blaine teased.

"Shut up!" Sebastian snapped, always on the defensive.

"So why are you smoking with me tonight?" Blaine asked. Sebastian sighed and ran a hand through his perfect blonde curls. "Wait! Don't tell me: you are already tiring of boring of a certain blonde virgin?" it is moments like that that make me want to be closer to Blaine.

"No… it's just that things between Annette and I aren't like what I thought they would be," Sebastian replied. I resisted Jake's hand tugging me to sneak back inside and stayed to listen. He looked defeated and stood watching me with a somewhat melancholy look on his face.

"From different worlds Valmont, Kathryn was right after all," Blaine said gently.

"No, that's not it! I mean yes, we are really different but that's not why it isn't working. It's Kathryn. I just know she has done something to Annette or said something to Annette. She got my journal, so she must have blackmailed her or something. She is causing a rift between us and I don't even know how! " Sebastian fumed. It seemed that he still preferred to blame me and protect her. There was a few seconds silence then and I felt Jake's hand rest gently on my waist as I looked longingly at Sebastian.

"Kathryn…let's go inside," he whispered. Before I could reply, the back door swung open and Annette walked out past us. Luckily, we were hidden from her view.

"Sebastian! You're smoking pot?!" she yelled. "Drugs are no way to sort out your problems". I swear to God, I had to bite my and from bursting out laughing. She was making such a fucking idiot out of herself.

"Annette, it's not a big deal," his tone was patronising and bored.

"You are such a jackass," she whispered angrily.

"Annette, what am I supposed to do?! Here you are completely controlling my life but you won't even tell me what happened with Kathryn! You won't even tell me why she has my journal!" Sebastian yelled while Blaine stood by smiling like a school girl. I was sure that my grin mirrored his. I felt a rush of power flow through my body at the knowledge that this 'golden couples' spat was caused by me.

"Fine! I'll tell you…CAN WE HAVE SOME PRIVACY PLEASE?" she yelled gesturing to Blaine. I saw Blaine's look of disgust and revelled in the fact that Sebastian looked mad at how rude the hick was being to his friend. Blaine raised his eyebrows (which still clash terribly with his fake blonde hair) and went back inside.

"What happened? Why the fuck did you give her my journal?" Sebastian asked.

"Your sister is crueller than I thought Sebastian. That day when Kathryn said she had some documents for my father, they weren't my curriculum," Annette's eyes watered at the memory of those pictures. "She said that if I didn't give her your journal and…if I didn't promise to never tell anyone anything I know about her that she would show everyone the documents," Annette said slowly and clearly, pausing in horror.

"What were the documents?" Sebastian asked but was answered by silence. "What could have possibly been important enough to give Kathryn my journal?" Sebastian yelled angrily.

"They are about my father! He…he had an affair," Annette said and broke down in tears. It was a revolting sight. Sebastian's hands (which hand been clenched into tight fists) relaxed and lay limp at his sides. He quickly gathered himself and gathered her in his strong arms. I could practically feel his breath on her neck as his pouty lips kissed her cheek sweetly.

"I'm sorry," he said.

"It's okay. Sebastian… are we okay?" Annette asked pleadingly.

"Yeah…yeah we are. We just need to sort some things out," Sebastian said with a gentle sigh. I grasped Jake's wrist and pulled him silently through the door. They might have had some things to 'sort out' but I would do everything in my power to make that impossible for them.

I didn't have to snort my usual cocaine to get a high. Whilst Annette and Sebastian were doing Sebastian's most hated thing (talking about 'feelings'), I was getting fucked by Jake. The more time I was spending with him, the more I actually liked him. Not only was he a painfully good fuck, but he wasn't as insipid as my usual dates. Yet I did not consider the idea that he could compare to Sebastian. Sebastian life was too entangled with mine. It was a product of us growing up together; I considered him to be my other half, we were always two of a kind.
