A few days later, it's a day before Valentines day. Chace still hasn't told Hayden about Beth kissing him. Chace, Daren, and Chris are playing basketball.
"I kissed Jared's cousin." Chace blurted.
"Seriously?" Chris exclaimed.
"Well, she kissed me. We both kissed." Chace reassured.
"Did you tell Hayden?" Chris asked.
"Should I? I don't know if I should."
"Yeah, you should. You tell each other everything." Chris told him.
"It didn't mean anything. So, why should you say anything." Daren asked.
"Because I'm not exactly being the best boyfriend."
"Daren, you'd be pissed if it happened to you. Look, Chace, you tell each other everything. Don't ruin that by some kiss. This kind of stuff has a way of getting back." Chris explained
"But what if they break up and there's no reason for that if you didn't feel anything." Daren argued.
"Of course not. I'm in love with Hayden."
"Good. Hold on to that." Daren said.
"Hold onto the fact that you were unfaithful to her somewhere down the road. Tell her. It'll be painful if she found out." Chris pointed out.
"You're right." Chace nodded.
"Chace, this is probably the only time you've ever done anything to her. She's not going to hate you."
"She might. She hates cheaters. I do, too."
"You had no way of knowing the future." Daren said.
"But you put yourself in that situation." Chris forced.
Hayden and Ashley are out shopping.
"This is great. A day of shopping with you." Ashley smiled.
"Yeah, it's so great." Hayden giggled.
"Wonder what the boys are doing." Ashley wondered.
"Yeah, I have no clue." They walked out of a store and ran into Monica and Anthony.
"Hey Monica, Hey Anthony." Ashley said rubbing Anthony's hair.
"Hey, Ashley. Hayden." Monica greeted.
"Sorry we missed your birthday."
"It's okay. I had a good time."
"What are you doing here?" Ashley asked.
"Just picking up a few things."
"Oh? For Valentines day?"
"Yeah. I couldn't think of anything to get Chris. He's a complicated man."
"Come on. We'll help you."
Chace drives home and walks in. He looks for Jared in his room.
"Jar... Oh shit. I'm sorry." Chace said walking back out.
"It's fine," Beth said walking back out. "I was just doin' a few lines."
"Like, drugs?" Chace asked.
"Yeah, like drugs. You preppy boys are so funny."
"Boy's?"
"Yeah. I met all the boys who lives here. You're actually the only that comes this close." Beth flirted touching Chace chest and walking away.
"You can't ever kiss me again."
"Chace, we can do whatever you want."
"No, we can't. I haven't even told my girlfriend."
"That's my fault?" Beth asked shocked.
"Sorta. I needed to talk to Jared. I'm going to visit my girlfriend. Tell him to call me when he gets home." Chace said walking out.
Daren and Shailene are still at the park.
"You okay? What did you and the boys do because you're acting distant." Shailene said rubbing Daren's arm.
"Everything went ok. I'm fine. Just missed my girl." Daren reassured by pulling her closer and kissing her.
"Are you sure? I don't want you upset when you take me out to dinner tomorrow."
"Believe me. Nothing will keep me from being happy spending the night alone with you." Daren smiled.
Shailene smiled at him, "You're going to make me blush." She looked away covering her face.
"I know. I need some ice cream. Let's get some ice cream." Daren said.
Back at the mall.
"Thanks for helping me, guys." Monica thanked.
"You're welcome. But you did it all. We just shopped, too." Ashley giggled.
"Yeah, it was a coy to spend some time with you and him." Hayden said tickling Anthony.
"I figured you guys wouldn't talk to me at all. You still don't have too."
"Because of Vanessa?" Ashley asked Monica nodded.
"We can be friends with you and Vanessa. We don't have to pick sizes."
"I know it'll put a strain on your friendship."
"Don't worry about that." Ashley said giving her a hug.
"Thanks again for the day." Monica hugged back.
"No problem. I personally just wanted to spend some time with him." Hayden giggled looking at Anthony.
"Happens a lot." Monica joked.
"We gotta do this again." Ashley said.
"Yeah, we do. We'll text you." Hayden said to Monica.
"Okay. Works for me." Monica smiled and her and Anthony walked away.
"Do you think this will hurt Vanessa?" Hayden asked.
"Yeah, it will. But it's not like we sat around talking about Vanessa and Chris."
Monica drove home.
"Hey, babe. We're home." Monica yelled placing some bags by the door.
"Hey, need some help." Chris greeted with a kiss.
"Nope. This is it and you can't look."
"You brought what you got me in the house?" Chris smiled.
"No. I hid it." Monica said walking into the kitchen with bags.
"Good. How was your day?" Chris asked helping her unpack the bags.
"It went good. Oh and guess who shopped with me?"
"Who?"
"Hayden and Ashley." Monica said shocked.
"Really? Wow. That's cool, I guess."
"Yeah. I didn't think talking to me was part of their to do list."
"It probably isn't. Their nice girls. They probably think that since I still hang out with their boyfriends they have to hang with mine." Chris said matter-of-factly and shrugged.
"You don't think it's a good idea?" Monica asked.
"I don't know. It may stir stuff up."
"Like?"
"Vanessa." Chris said sighing.
Later with Ashley and Vanessa.
"I didn't think it was a big deal, V."
"I don't like her. You guy's shouldn't. Didn't we have this conversation?" Vanessa said upset.
"I'm sorry that we pissed you off. But we're not going to have sleepovers with her. We hung out with her when you and Chris were dating."
"But now we're not. They're dating and you shouldn't even talk to her."
"I hung out with them at the fair."
"Fine. But know that our friendship isn't going to be as it was."
"We didn't talk about you. We barely talked about Chris. All we did was shop."
"For her."
With Hayden and Chace.
"Hey, I got your note." Hayden said walking into Chace's bedroom.
"Yeah, I went over there and you left your door unlocked. Shouldn't do that." Chace chuckled.
"Vanessa was in the shower. Calm down."
"I left you a note because I heard the shower going in Vanessa's room."
"Whatcha doing?" Hayden asked laying down next to Chace.
"Just watching the game."
"Cool."
"Chace, we ordered a pizza." A girl's voice yelled outside of the room.
"Who's that?" Hayden asked looking at Chace.
"Beth. She's Jared's cousin."
"Oh. I didn't see her when I came in."
"Yeah, she does that. I need to tell you something."
"Okay. Is it about V day tomorrow." Hayden winked.
"It effects V day."
"Chace, what's wrong?" Hayden asked nervous.
"I kissed another women." Chace said looking at Hayden watching her face change.
"You.." Hayden started but stopping looking at the floor.
"I'm sorry. I should have told you before."
"Before? How long ago was this?"
"A few days."
"A Few days?" Hayden yelled getting out of Chace's bed.
"I didn't know how to tell you. I didn't think I was even goin' to because it meant nothing."
"Then you should have said something."
"Again, I'm sorry."
"You're right. There won't be a Valentines day for us tomorrow. There isn't even a relationship." Hayden said walking out.
