A/N: I don't own anyone and I'm sorry this is a short chapter, but the next ones will make up for it.

Emily stood outside her best friend's house and knocked. She felt awkward; she tried to get the wrinkles out of her shirt. Her mind flew back to what happened a few minutes before. The soft lips on her own, the body flushed against hers and her hand ran over her lips.

Monica jumped at the sound of the door. Her mind kept going back to the morning. How was it possible that bad luck followed her? Alycia was still fresh in her mind. Man had she missed her ex. Alycia looked the same. Monica remembers someone at the door and made her way towards it.

Emily walked in as soon as the door opened and made her way into the kitchen. She grabbed a bear from Monica's stash seeing how Monica was over age. Monica allowed Emily t take one she knew Emily was responsible enough to drink. She reached for her own before sitting down on the counter.

"Care to start why I got a call saying 'Alycia is back'. Is she really?"

"Yeah she is Emily. I don't know how I don't know why, but she's back."

"Ok let's not panic. Why are our lives so messed up?"

"I don't know, but what am I going to do."

"Ok did Alycia say why she came back or why she left?"

"No and yes."

"Huh?"

"I didn't give her a chance to talk on why she's back. I told her I'd meet her for coffee later like in an hour. And she had cancer."

"Ok wait what. Is that why she left."

"Yes. What am I going to do? Clearly I still have feeling for her, but then again I kissed Taylor last night and asked her out on a date."

"You asked Taylor out!"

"Yes…"

"And you kissed her!"

"Yeah…"

"And you didn't tell me."

"Sorta… Anyway you're not helping me!"

"Right well quit it with Taylor and work it out with Alycia before seeing if you and Taylor can go out."

"That's good except for the fact that Taylor is going to get hurt."

"No she's not…ok maybe she will, but it'll be better than her finding out later. Plus Dallas probably will take it easier on you if you Taylor now."

"Shit I forgot Dallas can kick ass."

"How is that possible?"

"What."

"That you forget Dallas is violent and over protective of Taylor."

"Fine it's late and I have to head to the café."

"K bye. Can I crash here for awhile? Don't forget to call Taylor."

"Sure. And I'll call her on the way to the café."

"Drive safe."

"Will do."
