A/N: Okay, this one's a little short, but it's just gearing up for the next ones. They'll be big and have lots and lots of plot. So, I hope everyone can live for a few days with the littleness of this one, but it'll be worth the next chapters coming.

Chapter 11: The One Where David Cheats

It had been a few days since Race and Steve had their little heart to heart in Race's hospital room, things started to change. Well, Race moved back to his own bed and Mush and David were taking care of him... they didn't trust Spot or Blink. And with good reason, Blink can't even take care of Sea Monkey's and would you trust Spot with anything? I think not.

And when David wasn't with Race he was either working or filming. Which was weird, Blink never saw him anymore, unless he was sleeping or getting something to leave. Although, sometimes David did go to Elle's and spend time with her. Which was a good sign, but still, David wasn't telling Blink anything.

Blink was sitting on the window seat in the loft with his guitar. He wasn't playing, it was just sitting in his lap. He stared out the window absently. He didn't have to work, which was a first, he wasn't allowed to help Race with anything, and Shelley was working, so he had nothing to do.

He heard a faint noise and looked around. He didn't see anything in the loft, so he looked back outside. And there it was... the source of the noise. It was a chipmunk. Blink smiled. He was going to keep that chipmunk and it would be his. He would name it Chippy and love him and pet him.

The loft door slid open and Chippy ran away. Blink's smile instantly turned into a frown. He looked to see who the mean person was who opened the door and scared his little Chippy away, he saw Elle.

"Hey," Blink said, getting up.

"Hi. Blink, can I ask you something?" She asked.

"Yeah, sure." He said, looking at her. "Hey, are you okay?"

She kept standing just in the doorway. Blink looked at her, confused. He didn't know why she didn't just walk over and sit on the couch. She was acting weird; it was very un-Elle like. It was scaring Blink.

"Elle, you can sit down if you want." He said, watching her sit on the far side of the couch, next to his chair. "Do you want anything to eat or drink?"

She shook her head no. He got himself a bottle of pop and sat down in his chair. He looked at her; she didn't even look like herself. Usually she was, well she wasn't really bubbly, she was snarky... and she was being anything but. She looked depressed. Blink didn't know why, unless something happened to her family. Blink was worried now.

"So, uhm, you wanted to ask me something?" Blink said, getting comfortable.

"Yeah has David been acting weird lately?" She asked.

Blink looked at her, "Well, you know as well as I do, David's always been weird."

"No, I mean like, not acting like he usually does." She said.

Blink thought back throughout the past few weeks. David had been distant and he hadn't been acting like David. He was a different person.

"Yeah, I guess. Why do you ask?" He asked.

"Well, he has been coming over and everything but when he's there, all he wants to do is make-out." Elle said, looking at Blink.

Blink smiled, "Well, boys do reach that age where all they want to do is make-out and possibly something else." He said.

"Blink, we were having lunch with my Grandparents." Elle said, flatly.

"Oh... well, that isn't like David." Blink said.

"I know, I don't know what to do. It's so weird. But... I do have a hunch as to why he's been acting this way." Elle said, looking down at her feet.

"What?"

"I think he's cheating on me." She said.

Blink's mouth dropped. "No, David would never do that... it's not in his nature... he's always been Mr. Goody two shoes."

"I know, but he's always wanting to make-out no matter where we are, and when we're together he's distant unless he's pressuring me. I really think he's cheating on me." She said, looking at Blink. "Has he been acting like that here?"

"Well, he hasn't been pressuring me to make-out with him, but-" Blink stopped and remembered something.

Two days earlier,

Blink had been sitting at the table reading the paper. Well, he wasn't really reading the paper, he was reading the comics section. His favorite section. He heard the door slide open and he glanced up to see David run into his room.

David came back out and spotted Blink. He trotted over to him and stared at him. Blink looked at David over the paper.

"Yes?" Blink asked.

"I need a condom." David said.

Blink looked at him. "You mean Elle finally agreed to-"

"Blink, can I just have one?" David pressed.

Blink stared at him. "Alright, hold on."

Blink got up and went into his room. He walked over to his closet and pulled out a shoe box from the top shelf, he opened it and took out another box and pulled out a condom. He put the boxes back and shut the closet door. He walked out and handed the condom to David.

David snatched it and ran out of the loft. Blink shook his head and went back to reading.

Present day,

Blink shook his head, "I thought he wa-"

"You thought what?" Elle asked.

"Nothing, nothing. Uhm... are you sure he's cheating? Because David cheating is like me being smart. It's just not possible." Blink said.

"I'm serious Blink, I think he-"

There were sounds of people walking up the stairs to where Blink and Elle were. Blink got up to go and open the door but he heard something.

"David, stop it." A girly voice said.

Blink turned to Elle who was staring at the door. The door slid open to reveal David whose arm was wrapped around a bubbly red headed thing.

"Hey, Blink," She said.

Blink stared at her. He couldn't believe David. Jonette... why her? She's not even pretty and she most likely has a disease. He looked back at Elle who was now standing up. He gave her the I'm-so-sorry-I-can't-believe-he-would-do-that look.

"Thank you, Blink." She said, walking towards the door.

"You're welcome." Blink said, as she left. He turned to David and glared at him. "I cannot believe you! How could you do that?"

"Uhm, I think you should go." David said to Jonette.

"Oh, uhm, alright. If you want me to." She said, smirking at David.

"Yeah, I do. I want you to go." David said, letting go of her and walking over to Blink.

Jonette huffed and put her hands on her hips. "If I leave now, I'm never coming back to you, David."

"Whatever."

She turned around and sauntered out the door and down the stairs.

Blink had his arms crossed over his chest and tapping his foot. David looked him.

"Why didn't you tell me she was here?" David accused.

Blink's eyes got wide and his mouth opened. "Are you kidding me? You're yelling at me for your girlfriend being here? You are unbelievable! You've just been cheating on her for how long? How long have you been cheating on her, David?!"

David turned away from Blink. "I'm going to my room." He said, walking into his room, slamming his door, and locking it.

Blink walked over to David's door, "How long David? A week? A month?"

David unlocked his door and opened it. Blink's body was flung into the room. He got up and shook his head. "Well?"

"A few weeks before Race was stabbed alright? Are you happy now?" David snapped.

"No, I'm not happy. How could you David? Elle loves you... and you just cheated on her like it was nothing." Blink said.

"I know! I love her too but..." David stopped.

"But what? But what, David?"

"But, I wanted things she didn't. And I guess my needs overthrew my good judgment and it happened." David whispered.

"David, I'm still mad at you, but why Jonette? Come on, there are other prettier girls out there and you picked her?" Blink asked.

David smiled. "Like I said, my good judgment wasn't working right." He whispered again.

"Well, I think you need to apologize to Elle, but I'd wait. After today, she's probably not going to talk to anyone and if she talks to you you'll probably die." Blink said.

David shook his head. "I know. I feel so bad Blink. How could I do that? Elle's always been great to me and I feel... I feel like an asshole."

Blink shook his head. "Well you are, but come on, we'll watch some t.v. and you can call Elle tomorrow and apologize until your lips fall off."

"How are you joking about this?" David asked.

"Because that's how I deal with things, David. I find the humor in any situation and I bring it out." Blink said.

"But... uhm... you're not funny." David said.

Blink looked at him, scandalized. "Screw you, I'm hilarious!"
