"So how are things going with the roommate from hell?" Mitchie asked Riley as they pulled out a canoe.

Mitchie noticed Riley tense up a bit when she asked that.

"Annoying," she said.

They hopped into the canoe and paddled out.

"Anything interesting or funny happen this past week?"

Riley's eyes shot up to Mitchie's.

"No, why? Have you heard something? Is somebody talking about us because I swear I will…"

"Whoa, Riley relax. You just always have a funny story. That's why I asked."

"Oh, right."

"So nothing fu…"

"We had sex."

"WHAT?"

"We were fighting and things got heated in more ways than one."

"Yeah, apparently so."

"It wasn't romantic or anything. I mean we were literally telling each other we hated one another while we were doing it and then after it happened we just went back to our beds like nothing went on."

"Riley what about Jason?"

"He doesn't know and he never can, ok Mitchie?"

"Ok, I won't say anything but how could you do that?"

"I don't know. Tension was built and we just exploded."

"Well… did you like it?"

"What? No! Pssh, no way."

"You're lying."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are. You're completely avoiding my eyes."

Riley looked up at Mitchie.

"I didn't like it."

"It's ok if you did. I mean it was sex and Shane is kinda…"

"Don't say it! it happened and it was a mistake, end of story. I just had to tell somebody."

"Well thank you for confiding in me… and venting. So it didn't change anything?"

"We still hate each other so I guess not."

"Wow, I don't think I'd ever be able to do that."

"What?"

"Have sex and have it not mean anything."

"Are you calling me a slut?"

"No, no," Mitchie quickly said. "I just get attached easily?" she said with a shrug.

"That's why you're so attached to me?"

"Well I'm just with you for the free stuff."

Riley laughed and sprinkled some water over at Mitchie.

"Very funny."

"What are you going to do about Jason?"

"I don't know. I want to tell him but I know he'll flip and I don't want to hurt him."

"You're really like him huh?"

"I do this has really been eaten me up though. I can't stand lying to him. He's one of the two people I can be myself around."

"Who's the other?"

"You."

"Wow, I'm so flattered. I mean you are so cool and…"

"Mitchie?"

"Yeah?"

"You're going into fan girl mode."

"Right sorry."

Riley gave her a nod.

They stayed out on the canoe a while more then headed back in.

"Hey man," Jason said, stepping into Shane's cabin.

"Yo."

"Where's Riley?"

"Why are you always looking for her? She's a bitch, I don't know how you can stand being around her."

"Don't talk about her like that. She's my friend."

"Ok," Shane said defensively.

Jason looked down at the floor and saw one of Riley's bras ripped in half.

"Dude what happened to this?" he asked.

Shane quickly snatched it out of his hand and threw it on Riley's bed.

"Uh, nothing. She's an animal."

"All right well if you see her tell her to go to my cabin."

"Why?"

"Dude just tell her."

Jason turned and left.

Ten minutes later Riley waltzed in.

"Jason's looking for you," Shane said.

"Did he tell you where he was?"

"He said to meet him at his cabin."

"I guess I'll swing by there later."

"What are you going to do now?"

"Shower."

"Where were you?"

"On a canoe."

"With who?"

"What is this? 21 questions?"

She closed the window curtains and took her shirt and pants off.

She noticed Shane looking at her as she got clothes out of her dresser.

"Stop staring Shane," she said.

"I'm not," he said in a disgusted tone.

"You're such an idiot."

"Me? You are for thinking I'm interested in you."

She rolled her eyes.

"I never said you were interested neuron."

"Don't call me things I don't know."

As she walked by him he grabbed her arm and twisted her around and kissed her.

"No Shane, get off of me."

She pushed away from him and started to the bathroom.

"Oh come on, I know you want to do it."

"What happened the other night was a mistake."

"You really think so?"

"I know so. You're nothing to me Shane."

"Except the best fuck you've ever had."

He took his shirt off and walked over to her, taking the clothes she had in her hands from her and tossing them aside. He pulled her body to his so they were pressed together and nibbled on her neck.

"Shane I can't."

"Why not?"

One kiss on her collarbone was all it took to have her cave in.

She brought her hands up to his face and kissed him hard as they moved back to his bed. He quickly slid his hand into her underwear and started pleasuring her.

Jason had been waiting for Riley in his cabin for about twenty minutes when he decided to swing by her cabin again.

He walked up the cabin steps and opened the door only to find Shane and Riley in bed. Their limbs were entangled and their mouths were connected. Jason quickly closed the door and ran back to his cabin where Nate was.

"Nate I just… Oh man I'm going to kill him! How could he?"

"Whoa, Jason slow down. You're going to kill who?"

"Shane."

"Why?"

"I just went over there to see Riley and… man they were in bed together."

"Like sleeping?"

"No! They were having sex or at least getting ready to."

Jason sat down and put his head in his hands.

"I really trusted Riley. I can't believe she'd do this to me and Shane… man he's just an asshole. A fucking vulture."

"Jason maybe you're just misinterpreting something you saw. Maybe you didn't see that at all."

"I did Nate. My girlfriend with one of my best friends."

Nate put a comforting hand on Jason's shoulder.

"Just let it out man."

"I am," Jason said as he started crying.

Nate shook his head, angry at both Shane and Riley.

"Jason you need to talk to her. You need to confront her about this man."

"I'll go talk to her before dinner."

"Ok."

Nate gave Jason a hug then headed into the shower.

"Shane that shouldn't have happened," Riley said when she walked out of the shower… which Shane had joined her for.

"Oh come on, you wanted it as much as I did."

"No, I didn't."

"It's not like you have a boyfriend or anything."

He came up behind her and kissed her neck.

"Just stop! Leave me alone."

She quickly got dressed and left the cabin.

As she walked to the dining hall she saw Jason out by the dock.

"Jason!"

She ran over to him.

"Hi," she said with a smile.

He didn't return one.

"You ok?"

"I'm fine. Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm good."

"Everything ok with Shane?"

The second Shane rolled off of his tongue she knew he knew.

"Everything is fine."

"Actually I think they are better than fine. I mean you don't have sex with someone if things are just 'fine' between you and them."

"Jason…"

"How could you Riley? You know how much I care about you? I thought you and Shane didn't even like each other."

"We don't!"

"Yeah, I find that hard to believe."

"Jason please let me explain," she said in tears.

"No, I don't want to talk or hear from you ever again. I will never forgive you for this Riley."

He pulled away from her and walked back to his cabin.

Riley stood at the dock, completely heartbroken.

How did he know?

"Mitchie," she said to herself.

She made her way to the dining hall where everyone, including Shane, was.

"Mitchie!" she yelled.

Mitchie looked over at Riley, running over to her when she saw she was crying.

"Riley what happened? Are you ok?"

Riley pushed Mitchie's hand away.

"Don't touch me. Why did you tell him? Why did you tell Jason what happened?"

"Riley I didn't."

"You're lying because he knows! I trusted you and now Jason and I are over all because of you!"

Shane jumped up and stood between them.

"Wait, you and Jason are together?"

"We were together. How could you Mitchie?"

"Riley I swear I didn't tell him," Mitchie said in her own tears.

Riley shook her head and ran out of the cabin.

"She was with Jason?" Shane asked again.

"Shane let it go," Nate said.

"But how long have they… why didn't I know?"

Nate pulled Shane out of the cabin.

"What the fuck is going on?" Shane yelled.

"Riley and Jason were together."

"How long?"

"A while now."

"Did you know?"

"Not until last week."

"How did he find out about me and Riley?"

"He saw you two together not too long ago."

"Today?"

"Has this happened before?"

"Well just once but…"

"What the hell is going on between you and Riley? Last time I checked you guys hated each other."

"We still do."

Nate was confused.

"Then why are you guys having sex?"

"I don't know."

"You two really are as fucked up as they say you are."

"Nate…"

"I have a friend to comfort."

He turned around and left to his cabin.

Shane ran to his and was surprised to find Riley.

"Riley I have to talk to you," he said.

"I don't want to talk to you," she said.

"Riley why were you and Jason together?"

"Why? Because we liked each other stupid!"

"Well why didn't you say anything?"

"Because you would have done everything in your power to get your band mate to break up with me." she sat down and started crying. "Fuck! I really liked him!"

"Riley I'm sorry."

"Shut the fuck up! Don't you dare pretend to care! You've never given a flying fuck about me, don't act like you do now."

She picked up her jacket and stormed out of the cabin.

The truth was Shane did care about Riley.

Actually, he loved her.
