Tyler waved Jane in when she arrived. "You look different," remarked Tyler in a slightly reproachful manner.

Jane shrugged.

"Nice heels, babe," Reid said, sifting through his shirts. Choosing one, he too off his oxford and slid into it.

"Thanks," Jane replied. "So, um, thanks for doing this guys." She bit her lip nervously. Tyler was a little resentful towards her boyfriend for that move – she never was nervous around the two. She also, unlike Kate and Sarah who lived in their heels, usually was bedecked in sneakers. The change in height seemed to symbolize the distance in the three's relationship as of late.

"No problem" Reid replied easily. He was so straightforward in his intricacies, so Jane knew he would either get along with her boyfriend or not and be up front about it. Tyler on the other hand…

Jane worried her lip again. Though a lot quieter, Tyler's anger was a lot more fearsome than Reid's, despite the blonde's constant tantrums. The chocolate haired boy usually didn't get angry and usually got along with everyone, his temperament naturally sweet, but if someone set him off he'd be unbearable for weeks. And Jane wanted Tyler badly to like Johnny, because as one of her best friend's his opinion really mattered to her (inwardly, Jane knew it was the result of her on and off crush she had on Tyler for the first months of their acquaintance that affected the vastness of her dependence on his opinion romantically). She honestly didn't know what she would do if Tyler didn't like Johnny.

After three weeks of dating, Jane had finally officially become Johnny's girlfriend. Since it was now official, she thought it was right about time that her boys met her boyfriend.

Following the two out of their dorm, she couldn't help but feel apprehensive. She couldn't help it because, despite the easy conversation that was flowing between all three of them, Reid and Tyler's shoulders were stiff.

Sighing, Jane watched sadly as Tyler rebuffed Johnny's attempt at conversation.

Giving up, Johnny walked over.

"I'm sorry," Jane said before he could say anything.

He grinned. "Don't worry about it," he assured her. "I'm surprised he didn't threaten me with a shot gun over your honor." He laughed.

Jane gave a strained smile because she had seen Tyler shoot a flying bird out of the sky from a hundred feet away. "He's a regular teddy bear," she said lightly.

Johnny scoffed. "More like a Papa Bear."

Jane laughed. "Someone's been eating my porridge," she intoned.

Johnny rolled his eyes. "Something like that," he murmured under his breath. He nodded to Matt who was waving him over. "Well, I guess this could be what some people call fun," he told Jane.

"Leaving?" she asked, pouting.

"Matt wants to go," Johnny answered. "And he is kind of my ride."

"You could go back with us," she offered.

Feeling a fierce glare lighting up his back, Johnny glanced back to see both Reid and Tyler eyeing him. Gulping, he took an automatic step back. He wasn't surprised when Garwin smirked, but blinked at the sight of a matching one on the boy next to him's face. He turned back to his girlfriend. "I'd rather not," Johnny answered truthfully.

"You sure?" Jane pressed on.

Johnny rubbed his hair, uncaring that it now stuck up. "I can honestly say that when you're with them there's no room for me."

Jane tilted her head in confusion and didn't say anything when he walked away.
