Kates POV

I pulled up to my house at around nine o'clock. It hasn't been long since I left Rick's house. We hung out all day watching movies from his huge library upstairs. When it got late we ended up ordering food to get delivered as we watched another movie. Afterwards we made love one last time before I left. It took everything I had to leave his bed but I had to get home. With school tomorrow it left me no room to sleep over again. We agreed to see each other tomorrow and I left with one last goodbye kiss. The ride home was silent apart from the christmas music that i had playing. As I drove I noticed a majority of the snow had melted, only leaving a thin layer on the ground. It was kind of sad really. I'm sure the snowman me and Rick built had been reduced to a small hill with a carrot sticking out. What a shame. I pulled into the driveway and turned my car off. I hopped out and made my way to my house. Once I was inside my mom was just about to go upstairs to go to bed. She turned to greet me but stopped in her tracks.

"Hey Kate, what have yo-" she started.

"What?" I asked. Mom walked over to me and rubbed my neck. Oh no, i fucking knew it. "Mom i-"

"Its okay, I'm not mad just… I'm glad you two are having fun but… maybe be more careful is all" mom said. I simply nodded. Mom gave my forehead a kiss. "Goodnight" she said before walking up the stairs. Once she was halfway up though she stopped and turned around. "Oh, you don't have to take Lilly to school tomorrow, She's staying the night at Humphrey's so…" she shrugged and turned around, continuing up the stairs.

"Goodnight" I called as I watched her continue going up the steps. I walked over to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water before heading upstairs myself. I placed it on my nightstand and then made my way to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and at my neck. Sure enough there were multiple hickeys on my neck. I giggled. Some would see these as simple hickys from getting fucked but i saw them as love scars. I didn't mind, and if anyone said anything at school tomorrow I couldn't give less of a shit. I undressed, tossed my dirty clothes in the hamper, and hopped in the shower. As I bathed myself I thought of what Angel sent me earlier. She's really funny but even if she sent it as a joke I was definitely gonna buy it tomorrow. Rick said I didn't have to make it up to him for cumming early that day but this was too much fun to pass up. After my shower I dried off and crawled in bed. I texted Rick "hey my mom just saw the multiple love scars you left on my neck, thought it was funny. Anyway I love you. Have a good night. XOXO" I hit send and turned over to go to sleep. I sniffed at my pillow again to remember the night where he took my virginity in this very bed. I smiled once I caught the scent of our love making and fell asleep quickly.

Ricks POV

My alarm went off, waking me from my sleep. I groaned as I hit my alarm. I sat up and stretched. Stepping out of bed I put on some deodorant and then my clothes. Black jeans, grey button up, and my watch. I left my room to go brush my teeth and piss but first I had to wake up Angel. Angel… What did I catch her in last night? It was hard for me to believe but scents don't lie. I needed answers and given her current state I wasn't sure how soon I was gonna get them. I was going to walk to her room to wake her up but I saw that the door was already open, i could smell her perfume from the hallway so I knew she was up. I went to the bathroom, did my things and went downstairs. I didn't wait for Angel like I normally did. I hopped in my truck and turned the heat on while I waited. Christmas music played through the radio but I quickly turned it off. Not long after I saw my little sister come outside the house and lock the door. She walked over to the truck and hopped in, not saying a word. I put the car in reverse and got onto the main road. The ride was silent and awkward. About halfway to the school I found the courage to speak up.

"So… are you ready to talk to me about last night?" I asked. Angel stayed hushed as she continued to look out the window. "Angel…" I called. Still no response. "I'm sorry if I scared you last night, I just… I didn't know how to react. I'm not mad, I'm just… confused. And I need to know what happened, this isn't normal" i said. A few more seconds went by before Angel finally spoke.

"I…i don't know what to say to you…" she said nervously.

"The truth," I begged. Silence again. "Angel?"

"Rick just… please…" Angel said. I didn't want to upset her again. I rubbed her arm as I drove.

"It's okay Angie, you don't have to tell me right now" I said as soothingly as I could. The school started to come into view. I pulled into the parking lot and started to drive to my usual parking spot. "Angel… You know I love you right?" I asked.

"Yeah… I know, I have the locket to prove it" Angel said. I was so glad to see that she still hasn't taken it off. While I never wore mine around my neck, I did always wear it on my belt. As long as it was with me I didn't care how I wore it.

"Good… just never forget that I love you okay?" I asked as I parked alongside Humphrey. Humphrey…

"I won't," Angel said as she leaned across the truck and gave me a hug. I closed my eyes as I hugged her back.

"I'm sorry I scared you" I whispered. Angel didn't say anything. She just sighed comfortably as she hugged me. She broke it not long after and looked into my eyes momentarily.

"I love you too Rick" she said with a kind smile. She then hopped out of the truck and began walking to school. She didn't stick around to talk with us like she normally did. This wasn't right. I stepped out myself and breathed into my hands to warm them up. Humphrey and Lilly stepped out of his car and began to walk to me,

"Hey Rick, what's goin on?" Humphrey asked as he approached me. I hesitated for a moment, staring at Him before accepting our usual shake. His smile faded quickly. He must have taken notice of my mood. As we shook Kate pulled in and parked next to me. She hopped out and walked over to the group. She was wearing navy jeans, a white button up and her black leather jacket. As always she looked stunning.

"Hey guys" she greeted.

"Hey sis" Lilly said as she hugged Kate. I stood next to Humphrey as they two hugged. He turned to me and asked.

"Something wrong Rick?" He looked concerned. I stared again for a moment to study HIm until I answered.

"No," I said shortly.

"You sure about that? You look… tense" Kate said as she broke the hug with her sister. Lilly turned to face me as well, now all eyes were on me. I didn't know what to say to them, now wasn't the time or place, besides what if Lilly didn't know? That would be a shit show. I simply shook my head and turned around to walk to the school. I heard Kte say something to the two before she started to jog over to me to catch up. "Rick?" she called as she approached. She then caught up to me and we were walking side by side. "What happened? What was that?" she asked.

"It's probably best I dont tell you right now" I said. What was she gonna think? Oh shit I should have just followed Angel inside from the start.

"Rick, I'm your girlfriend. If somethings bothering you I need to know" we entered the building and I started to make my way to my locker to grab my textbook. It was my first day back after the fight and I felt like things were gonna be super awkward, add that to my bullshit list."Rick I want to help you" Kate said.

"I know Kate I know, but its not something you can help me with '' I tried to explain. I entered my locker combination and opened it as Kate stood beside me.

"Rick, I love you. You can tell me anything and I'll at least try to understand. Could you please at least just… tell me the situation? You're starting to worry me" she said. That was the last thing I ever wanted to do. It didn't help that the situation was making her even remotely unhappy. I couldn't bear to see that. I closed my locker and looked her in the eyes.

"Angel had sex with Humphrey" I blurted out. Kate's face froze as what I said put her in a state of shock.

"What?" she asked. I broke eye contact and looked down at the floor.

"I don't know how it happened or why, but I'm going to find out," I said. I made eye contact with her again.

"Does Lilly know? How did you find out?" Kate quizzed.

"I smelled it on her last night… As for Lilly I'm not sure, Angel seemed pretty upset though when I confronted her so I don't know… just don't say anything yet okay?" I asked.

"Okay" Kate nodded. "Thanks for telling me," she said, still shocked.

"Of course" I said before giving her a quick peck on the lips. "I'll see you in class," I said. I then walked to my homeroom, leaving Kate dumbfounded. I really hope she doesn't think of Angel a certain type of way now.

Kate's POV

The classes I took were silent. Rick didn't say anything the whole time and not because he was working. I had thoughts racing through my own mind as well. Would Humphrey really cheat on Lilly? I couldn't picture it. Why would Angel want to do that to her best friend? Nothing was adding up. The more I thought about it, the more confused I was. What about Shaky? That day on the gazebo had to have meant something to Angel, why would she throw all of that away for a guy that's already taken. I remember what Humphrey said to me on the couch that day. He didn't want anyone else. So what happened with Angel? I continued to think about it all through class until lunch time came around to break up my thoughts. I went to sit down with the group but I noticed that Rick wasn't there.

"Where's Rick?" I asked.

"Not sure, I didn't see him come in," Lilly answered. I glanced at Angel as she ate next to Shaky. They looked so innocent. This wasn't right. I saw Rick walk into the cafeteria and stood up to run over to him.

"Where were you?" I asked.

"They had me down at the principal's office to make sure everything was straight with me and Garth" he answered.

"Is it?" I asked.

"Hell no," Rick said. I giggled and then turned to the lunch table to take a glance and then turned back.

"Things are kind of awkward over there, did you want to sit somewhere else?" I asked.

"I was gonna head out for lunch, I came to ask if you wanted to come with" Rick said. I smiled and grabbed his hand.

"I'd love to," I said. I let go so that I could go over to the table and grab my bag. "Meet you at the truck?" I asked. Rick smiled.

"Yeah" he said. He then turned and walked out of the room/ I went and picked up my bag. Throwing it over my shoulder.

"Alright guys. Me and Rick are gonna head out for lunch. I'll see ya" I said.

"Did he tell you what was wrong?" Humphrey asked. I froze and glanced over at Angel. Me and her locked eyes only for a second before I snapped out of it. Shaking my head and turning back to Humphrey.

"No, but I'm gonna talk to him now. Wish me luck" I lied. Humphrey nodded while Lilly placed her hand on his arm. I took one more glance at Angel and headed out. I signed out and walked outside, getting hit with the cold December air. I set a timer for thirty minutes to remind us when to head back and made my way to meet Rick. As I walked across the parking lot I saw that his truck was on. He must be heating it up. I opened the passenger door and climbed inside. I shut the door and Rick began to ask me where I wanted to go. As he did though I cut him off by giving him a kiss. I held both of his cheeks as I licked at his tongue lovingly. We kissed for a moment until I broke it and giggled. "I've wanted to do that all day," I said. Rick chuckled.

"So before I ask you where you want to go, I just saw your text. You okay?" he asked. I nodded. "Let me see," he said. I pulled down my shirt collar to reveal my multiple bruises. "I did that?" Rick asked. I nodded. Rick rubbed them. "I'm so sorry," he said. I turned to him completely. He had sadness in his eyes.

"Oh Rick don't feel bad, it happens. It just shows how much you love me. You didn't hurt me" I explained.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yeah" I nodded. "As a matter of fact. When we get a chance I was sorta hoping for you to give me more of them" I said.

"Really?" Rick asked sarcastically. I giggled.

"Maybe go easy on me though" I said, giving his tongue another lick. Once I broke our kiss I whispered. "I want subway" we both laughed and then Rick put the car in drive and drove off. We drove in silence and then once we got to the restaurant ordered our food and drove back to the school to eat in the parking lot. All in all it took about fifteen minutes. We still had another fifteen to eat and hang out. I handed Rick his sub and then pulled mine out. Again Rick paid for me even though I protested, but he was just too good to me. We unwrapped our subs and then took a bite. It was so fucking good. "I haven't had subway in so long," I said. I then took another bite.

"Wouldn't expect you to like such a place" Rick said.

"Hm" I hummed. I then addressed the elephant in the room. "So what's your plan?" I asked.

"Well… if Angel won't tell me… then maybe Humphrey will…" Rick said.

"What are you gonna do?" I asked. I highly doubted Rick would get violent with Humphrey. The two were so close.

"I'm just gonna talk to him. I don't believe he just slept with my sister for no reason. I also doubt he would just cheat on Lilly. Besides, they were together. It was just last night" Rick explained. I nodded before taking another bite. "I'm still mad though, not at Angel but… how could Humphrey do that?" Rick continued.

"You said Angel was upset, so I highly doubt she's proud of what she did" I said. Rick nodded.

"Doesn't matter. Humphrey took something from Angel. Something she can never get back. I need to know what happened. Rick said.

"I'm sure Humphrey will tell you everything" I assured.

"They wouldn't have if I didn't smell Angel last night. If she didn't hug me I probably wouldn't have found out, who knows if last night was the first time, this could be a weekly thing for all I know" Rick said. I gave him a kiss on the cheek to calm him.

"Everything will be fine… just relax" I said. Rick took a deep breath and sighed.

"After school today… Can you take Angel home? I need to talk with Humphrey alone" Rick said.

"Of course," I said. "Here, let's take our mind off of this for a bit" I suggested as I pulled my phone out and pulled up hulu. I put on some family guy and placed the phone on the dashboard for the remainder of our lunch. Afterwards we wrapped up our trash and stepped out of the truck.

"Thanks Kate," Rick said. I hugged him and kissed his lips.

"Anytime babe" I said. Rick chuckled again before leaning in for another wet kiss. We gave each others tongue a lick and then proceeded back into the school. The rest of the day felt relatively normal until it was time to go home. I caught Angel and told her that I'd be taking her home. She agreed and followed me out the building. I couldn't find Lilly, so I shot her a quick text and walked with Angel silently to the car. When we got to my car I unlocked it and turned it on to heat it up. Angel sat in the front as we waited for Lilly. It was silent for a minute until Angel spoke.

"How much did Rick tell you?" she asked. I hesitated before speaking.

"What do you mean?" I asked, trying to act innocent.

"I saw the look you gave me at lunch. I don't want you thinking of me in any type of way. Even though it's probably true" Angel said.

"Oh Angel" I breathed as I felt my ears flatten. I started to feel bad for the young wolf that sat next to me.

"Kate… I know you're gonna be my sister in law one day. Rick loves you so much, and I don't want you to hate me. I like you too, so I just ask you to understand" Angel explained.

"Angel I… I can't understand something I don't know" I admitted. "But I'm not mad, and my opinion of you hasn't changed. You're a good person" I said truthfully. Angel turned to me with a small smile but before she could say anything Lilly opened the back door and hopped in.

"Hey guys,'' she said as she shut the door.

"Hey Lills" I greeted as i put the car in reverse and backed up. "Listen guys, I need to go get some things for christmas, is it okay if I drop you off at your place Angel?" I asked.

"Not at all. Whatcha getting? Is it what I sent you?" Angel asked smugly. I giggled.

"Maybe" I said.

"What did you send her?" Lilly asked. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Angel pull out her phone and swipe a bit before putting it back in her pocket. A second later I heard Lilly's text tone go off. She dug in her pocket and pulled out her phone and looked at what I could only assume was the same picture Angel sent me yesterday. She looked at her phone for a second or two before she started laughing hysterically. "Holy shit, so it's like that huh?" she asked in between laughs. I giggled as I continued driving. I pulled into Angel's driveway and let the two girls hop out.

"I'll be back soon okay?" I said. The two waved me off and then I backed out and headed for the mall. It was about a fifteen minute drive until I was at the mall. I hopped out and went straight for Spencer's. Once I was inside I looked round and found the pack of items in minutes. I giggled and picked up a pack. I then grabbed some other gifts like a T-shirt for Humphrey and a keychain for Rick that had a jason mask. I put the items on the counter and the cashier started to ring me up. Once he got to the pack though he looked at me and smirked.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" he asked.

"Who do you think that's for?" I asked back. The cashier chuckled before complimenting me.

"He's a lucky guy," he said.

"I'm a lucky girl" I said as I put my credit card in.

"I'm sure. Have fun" he said as he slid me the bag.

"I sure will," I said as I grabbed the bag. I then headed out to get some more shopping done.

Humphreys POV

"I still don't understand why I couldn't meet you at the mall," I said to Rick as he drove us. He wanted to do some christmas shopping as well as hang out but could I really not have just met him there? When we got let off of school I wanted to simply meet him at the mall. Rick kept insisting that he drive me though. When I asked him he said it was to save gas but now I wasn't so sure. He seemed to be acting very passive aggressive with me and I wasn't sure why. We weren't on the highway yet. We were still driving through my neighborhood. It wasn't long though until we turned on the highway.

"I wanted to just hang out with you, it's been awhile you know?" Rick answered. I nodded as I kept silent. It was like this for a while. I was starting to feel tense. It didn't help when Rick turned off the highway and started driving on a lonely road.

"Rick, why did you turn there?" I asked. Rick didn't answer. He was starting to freak me out. "Rick stop the truck… RICK!" I yelled. Rick pulled over and stomped on the break. He then put it in park as I hopped out. Rick followed. "What the hell are you doing… what is this?" I asked. Rick circled around the truck to meet me.

"Humphrey… I know what you did" he said. I immediately froze as my heart sank. He found out? How the fuck did he find out? He was going to kill me, wasn't he? All those years of friendship down the toilet because I couldn't keep my dick in check.

"Rick I-"

"Hush," Rick said, cutting me off. He then lowered his tone and spoke calmly. "Humphrey… I care about you… I love you… I do, you're my brother… but last night Angel came home and she was wreaking of sex and you were all. Over. it! So when I figured it out and I figured it out pretty quick… I wanted to fucking kill you… but because of our friendship I might just calmly ask… what happened… last night?" he asked. I hesitated as I struggled to find words.

"Well… it wasn't last night… it was the night before… Angel and Lilly were working out a way to give Angel tips on having sex when it happens with Shaky… Lilly… wanted it to be me. Angel did to" I explained shakily.

"Humphrey… she… wanted this?" Rick asked.

"Of course… well at first she did. After her and Shaky kissed she wanted it to happen naturally, but Lilly… had other plans" I explained.

"So it's all Lillys fault? You had nothing to do with it?" Rick asked.

"Not entirely… I… wanted to do it… I… really enjoyed it" I confessed.

"Did she?" Rick asked back.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Did Angel enjoy it? Or was she scared?" Rick looked like he could snap at any second. I had to choose my words carefully.

"I don't know… she only told me after we did it" I said. Rick scoffed.

"Humphrey how… How could you do this? Do you know what she lost? What you took from her? She wanted to lose her virginity to her love and now she can't do that" Rick ranted. I started to feel even more awful than I already did. I started to tear up. Not knowing what to say next.

"Rick I'm… I'm sorry" I sobbed.

"You shouldn't say sorry to me" Rick said before yelling "God… damn it!" I sat down on the grass on the side of the road and cried into my hands. I felt awful. I know Angel wanted it somewhat but I should have been more responsible. "Here" I heard Rick say. I removed my hands from my face to see Rick holding out tissue to me. I took it and wiped my eyes as he sat on the grass next to me.

"Thanks" I sobbed.

"I didn't mean to make you feel bad, I just…I understand the temptation, especially if Lilly told you to. I'm glad you didn't cheat on her, and I'm glad Angel enjoyed herself somewhat… if she wanted it before she must have, I just don't know what Shaky will do if he finds out" Rick explained. I sniffed and then spoke again.

"Him and Angel went on a date that day" I said.

"What?" Rick asked. I sniffed again as I wiped my eyes.

"Do you think he smelled it?" I asked.

"He… he had to of… but why didn't he say anything… there's no way he did, Angel would have been upset when she walked in but… she seemed happy" Rick answered. He then shook his head and stood up. He walked in front of me and offered his hand. I accepted and he helped me to my feet. "Don't be sad Humphrey. We all make mistakes. I just needed to know what happened is all" Rick said.

"Thank you," I said.

"For what?" Rick asked.

"For forgiving me" I answered. Rick patted my shoulder.

"Like I said… your my brother… and were all one big family" he said before walking back to the truck. I hopped in and he put it back in drive and started driving again.

"Did you still want to hang out?" I asked. It really had been awhile since we did. Rick smiled slightly.

"Sure," he said.
