A/N: New chapter, where things get really complicated. I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, follow and favorite please.
Four days have past since Ashley and Mike came clean. Chris had asked for a break in order to have some time to think. Chris pretended that things were borderline fine, but he didn't take it lightly. He said that alcohol helped him think better. At least, he wasn't wasted 24/7. Jessica on the other hand took the whole thing pretty hard. Alcohol made her unable to think, and that was exactly what she wanted. She wanted the pain to fade away. Nobody has talked to her in those four days.
"Jess, it's me, Sam." I said knocking at the bungalow door.
Mike had decided to leave the bungalow to Jessica and go to a room instead- well, a suite, but still less luxurious than the bungalow.
"Jessica! Open the door." I shouted.
After some more knocking, I decided to use the second key Mike gave to me after they broke up.
I unlocked the door and walked in. The house was a complete mess. Empty bottles were all over the place, along with some clothes, which weren't Jessica's, at least not all of them. My discovery made me want to investigate the bedroom.
"Jess!" I shouted after walking in the bedroom.
She was naked on the bed having sex with a guy. The guy got startled when he saw me and jumped off the bed, quickly putting his jeans on.
"What the hell do you want?" Asked Jess, who was wasted.
"I- I will call you…" Said the guy leaving the bedroom half-naked.
"Wait; don't leave!" Shouted Jess, but he was already gone.
I sat on the bed next to Jessica.
"Jess, why are you doing this?"
"Doing what? Enjoying single life?"
"Single life is about having sex with everybody that is willing to."
"Yeah, you are right. By Mike's code, that is what it means to be in a relationship."
"Hey, I am not trying to excuse him-"
"But you are trying to excuse that whore."
"Jess! Ashley made a mistake."
"A mistake? She didn't lose something I lent her, Sam. She screwed my at the time boyfriend! And she was my best friend."
"Jess…" I said looking down, knowing she was kind of right.
"You don't understand Sam." Tears started welling up in her eyes. "Everyone betrayed me. My boyfriend. My best friend. Hell, even you did Sam." Tears fell down her cheeks.
"I wanted to tell you, I did. For a period of time I hated Ashley; for what she did to you, to us."
"What changed?"
"I saw that she was truly sorry. That it was Mike's fault."
"That is not enough." She said coldly.
"I saw how much she hated herself and realized she didn't need anyone else hating her."
Jess looked at me and was about to respond, when she puked on the empty bed next to her,
"For god sake Jess, you need to stop drinking."
I helped her up and led her to the bathroom, where she cleaned herself.
"Thanks, but you can leave now. I don't need a babysitter."
"The whole crew is having an outing tonight at the beach bar. Come; it will be good for you."
"Whole crew? Chris is spending time with Ashley? Isn't he mad?"
"He asked for a break in their romantic relationship, but they will probably get back together."
"So he forgave her?"
"Kind of; he needs more thinking time."
"Huh…"
"I will see you tonight, Jess. Clean and sober."
"Yeah, yeah."
….
"I swear they will be the end of me." I said while Josh brought us some drinks.
"Then leave them solve their own mess alone, babe. Let's go somewhere far, just us two." He said kissing me on the neck.
"Are you asking me to run away with you?"
"I guess… We both need some personal space."
"Sorry, but I can't just abandon my friends. God… I am scared of what fresh hell will happen tonight."
"I am sure it can't get any worse, don't worry."
I sighed and took a big gulp out of my glass.
"Hey…" Said Josh taking away my glass and placing it on the coffee table alongside with his.
"Alcohol won't make you feel better." He whispered in my ear.
"You have any ideas what might?"
"One or two." He said pulling me into a kiss.
As we passionately kissed, he removed my shirt.
"Have I told you how gorgeous you are?"
He started peppering kisses all over my exposed skin. I cupped his face and brought his lips to mine.
"I think we should take this to the bedroom." I whispered as he kissed my neck.
Instantly, he raised me from the couch and carried me to our bedroom.
JESSICA'S POV
I had showered, was wearing some nice sexy clothes (and underwear of course) and was heading towards a certain hotel room. Yes, I was still quite drunk but as long as I didn't puke, it would be fine.
I knocked on the door a few times before it opened.
"Hey." I said trying to be seductive.
"Hey…" He said surprises written all over his face.
"May I come in?"
"Of course." He said moving aside.
"To what do I owe the visit?" He asked me sitting on his bed.
"Well…" I said with a mischievous smile.
…
Our lips collided and I tasted whiskey. However I wasn't sure if it was from my lips or his. His hands ran through my long blonde hair as I unbuttoned his shirt. He pulled me closer and kissed me hard, unzipping my super short beach dress in the process. I helped him out of shirt and then pushed him down on the bed. I then walked off my dress, reviling my Victoria Secret underwear, and kicked off my heels.
"Damn." He said as he looked at me.
I smiled before straddling him and getting lost in a passionate kiss.
SAM'S POV
"Where are the others?" Asked Ashley when she saw me sitting at the bar alone.
"Matt and Em cancelled last minute. The others might just be late."
"Josh?"
"He will be a little bit late. His favorite series has it's season finale tonight and he wants to watch it."
The bartender, who looked awfully familiar, approached us.
"What would you two charming ladies want."
"I would like a fruity cocktail with no alcohol, please." Said Ashley smiling.
The bartender smiled at her before turning at me.
"And you?" He said a bit coldly.
"I would like a mojito."
He was about to go make our drinks when I caught his hand.
"Wait, I know you."
"You must have mistaken me." He said jerking his hand away.
"Weren't you the guy that I walked in on with Jessica?" I whispered.
"I don't know what you are talking about." He said harshly before walked away.
"What did you tell him?" Ashley asked me, noticing his weird behavior.
"Nothing. How are things going with Chris?" I asked, trying to change the topic.
Her face lit up.
"He is a bit distant, but I understand that he needs his time. Sam, he might be able to forgive me. Can you believe that?" She asked with pure excitement in her voice.
"He loves you Ashley."
Ashley smiled. But the smile didn't stay on for long. All of her blood and color disappeared from her face as she looked at two figures.
"B-bartender!" She said catching his attention. "I would like to change my order. Bring me vodka."
She looked back at them, as they were approaching us.
"And leave the bottle."
