Ariel Solomon slammed the vase down on the counter and groaned when water leaked from the bottom. "You make me angry William! Look what you did!"

Will stared at the purple vase for a second with his eyebrow raised "Uh...yeah...that seems like a you issue Ariel."

Ariel groaned and ran a hand through her black hair "Will I really don't think this is a good idea." She turned and looked at him, her brows furrowed. "It took me forever to recover from what you did to me. I don't know if I want to deal with you again."

Will took off his glasses and ran a hand over his face, then walked towards Ariel who stood her ground, her dark blue eyes meeting his brown ones.

"Ariel. I really need a place to stay. Just until June 26th when that Dominic kid heads home and I can have my room back."

Ariel sighed "Do you even have any money Will?"

Will awkwardly chuckled "Well...I have an interview with McCammy Gallery. I'll have money soon!"

Ariel laughed sarcastically "The things I do for your parents." She pushed her way around him, towards the stairs that lead to the apartment above the flower shop. "$250 for a month. You can pay me at the end of June. You stay away from me. Don't talk to me about your life, I don't care, I'm done with you William Stork, but because I love your parents and owe them for everything they did after mom died, I will let you live here for a month."

Will blinked.

The door jingled open and Lee walked in, he froze at the awkward mood, looking between the two adults.

"Uh...what's up Will?"

"Oh, uh...hey Lee! I'm good, just, apparently, living here for a month until Dominic heads home."

Lee's eyes widened and he looked at his sister "Really?"

Ariel rolled her eyes.

"What uh...what happened to your leg?" Will asked, gesturing towards the huge cast on Lee's leg.

"Fell down a cave. Broke my thigh and destroyed my knee."

Will blinked. "Oh." He looked between the two siblings. "I'm going to go tell my mother the good news...I'll be back later Ariel."

Ariel shrugged "I don't care. Lee, come on and sit down, I'll bring you a soda."

"So what's up? You said you wanted to talk. Is it about Sam's pregnancy?"

Lee shook his head "No..."

Ariel sat down next to him "Are you okay?"

Lee took a deep breath. "Lisa thinks she's in love with me."

Ariel chuckled "Lisa's a bitch."

Lee shrugged "Yeah..."

Ariel raised an eyebrow "What did she do?"

"She...really thinks she's in love with me and...she always wants to do 'things' that couples do..."

Ariel blinked "What 'things'?" Lee just stared at the floor. "Lee is she...getting physical?"

"I told her no...multiple times...but..."

"But what?! She fucking raped you!" Ariel shot off of the couch and paced, hands fidgeting.

"She told me that if I said no she would tell Sam that I was having inappropriate thoughts about Curie."

Ariel froze "You think Sam and dad would believe her over you?"

Lee closed his eyes and sighed "Maybe...I just..." He looked up at his sister "I don't know what to do..."

Ariel knelt down and hugged her little brother. "We'll figure it out okay? You need to get ready for the end of the year musical, right? I assume you're still doing it."

Lee nodded "I gave up the lead to Dominic though. I'm playing Foster instead. He's in a wheelchair for almost the entire thing."

Ariel laughed "I can't wait to see it."

Lee grinned at her "Are you going to go with Will?"

"NO." Ariel crossed her arms "Will and I are not going anywhere together, ever! He's staying here cuz he needs a place to sleep until Dominic leaves."

Lee laughed softly "Okay got it. Totally not going to date him."

"NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!"

"Give me the vodka."

"No Uriah. Alchohol interrupts your healing."

"Aunty Bo! My chest is killing me!"

"Surgery sucks my friend."

"I didn't ask you Mr. Sanban."

"What is going on?"

Uriah looked at Patton "No one will give me booze and I'm in pain."

"Still?"

"Yeah...not as bad obviously but...they cut my tits off Patton...not exactly a small thing."

Patton laughed "Just one shot mama?"

Uriah gave big puppy dog eyes to Bodanah, she sighed and poured him a shot. Patton raised an eyebrow, she poured him one too.

"Thank God. You know, this has been the best month ever." Uriah said after draining the shot.

"Really? I'll be happy to graduate in June." Patton said before realizing Uri was looking past him with a red face and wide eyes "What are you looking at dude?"

Uriah blinked and looked back at him "Huh?"

Patton turned around to look at the ginger girl sitting by the window with her parents. "Muffy Jenkins?"

Uriah gasped "I haven't seen Muffy since we were 11! That was just in passing too!"

Patton chuckled "I'm going to warn you right now, Muffy's parents are very judgemental."

"Really...?" Uriah looked downcast "What if they don't know I'm trans?"

"Ignoring the fact that that would'nt work because eventually they'd find out, they don't like us in general."

"They're eating at your restaurant."

"Well, told mom that she feels like mom got forced into being a Drilovsky so I guess she likes mom?"

Uriah shrugged "Well I guess I shouldn't get myself into a situation..."

"Hey Patton."

The boys turned to look at Muffy who was now smiling at them.

"Oh, hey Muffy. You guys going somewhere? I saw your parents loading the car yesterday."

"No, those two are going on their yearly trip to visit Andi. They don't want to mind you, at least mom doesn't. That's part of the agreement between Andi's mom and dad though. He needs to try to be in her life." She looked around Patton and smiled at Uriah who was avoiding her eyes. "Who is this? Another Drilovsky?"

Patton grinned and pushed Uriah towards Muffy. "This is my cousin Uriah."

Uri looked at Muffy and threw on the trademark Drilovsky grin at her. "Hey, Uriah Drilovsky. Nice to meet you." He held out his hand, she shook the hand with a grin.

"Nice to meet you too...have we met before?"

Uriah turned white "Uh...no! You've probably met my twin sister, Savannah."

"They're practically identical." Patton winked, earning a glare from Uri.

Muffy looked at Uriah nervously "Well, the only time I can go on dates is when my parents are out of town...and you're pretty damn cute Mr. Drilovsky...and I have these movie tickets that I can't use because my parents are going to New York to see my sister instead of her coming here...so..."

"Would you like to go to a movie Ms. Jenkins?" Uriah asked with a grin.

Muffy blushed and smiled at him "Yeah..."

Patton gave Muffy a thumbs up "He'll meet you at the theater, what time is the movie?"

"7:15 showing...tomorrow night. You gonna make sure he shows up?"

Patton nodded "Hell yeah, no one stands Muffy Jenkins up. Didn't I say that in 7th grade?"

"Conveniently after Brad stood me up?" Muffy joked with a raised eyebrow and a grin.

"Exactly." Patton laughed, Uriah was still smiling towards Muffy. "So I'm sure Uriah would love to stand around staring at you Muffy, but we need to go have a pep talk for tomorrow."

Muffy laughed and backed towards her parents "I'll see you tomorrow Uriah!"

Uriah waved and chuckled at Patton "I got a date!"

Patton grabbed his arm and drug him outside "Get in the car."

"You want me to drive?"

"No I'll drive and you listen."

Uriah jumped in the passenger seat of Patton's truck as Patton drove off.

"What am I listening to?"

"Are you gonna tell her you're trans tomorrow?"

Uriah stared at Patton blankly "Uh...I guess? Should I do it that soon?"

"I mean...it's up to you...do you want to? Muffy is straight. You just...you've always dated bi girls...Henrietta, Lily, Amira..."

"Amira was lesbian...that's why we didn't date very long."

"Uriah you know what I'm saying. Everyone you've dated has known you before your transition...I just don't want you to get hurt because you didn't tell someone something...but I trust you."

Uriah smiled "Awwww I love you"

Patton rolled his eyes "Everyone loves me Uri."
