"Psst, Erin," Carlos whispered into my ear as the credits started to roll across the screen. I looked up at his smooth, tan face and smiled slowly.
"What is it, Carlos?" I asked.
"Look over at James." I did as he said and saw James' head on Dani's shoulder. She was asleep against Kendall, who had fallen asleep with his arms around her. If that didn't look a little wrong, I don't know what did.
"Oh Dani," I sighed to myself, shaking my head. Carlos laughed a little into my shoulder, causing a ripple of tingles to ascend up my neck. I shuddered. Thankfully Donny and I had broken it off today….well more like I had broken up with him, but either way we were over. This was just another thing I owed Dani for …

Slight Flashback to the FRED Party….

"Erin. ERIN!" Dani yelled in the middle of the Fred movie. I saw Lucas turn and give her this look, but he wasn't mad…just slightly annoyed. I couldn't say I blamed him, considering this was his movie premier and Dani was yelling through the theatre of stars to me. She gave him an apologetic smile and turned to me again. "I have to tell you something."
"Dan, can't this wait until after the movie?" I asked her quickly and in a very quiet voice. I swear that Jeanette McCurdy just shot me a look. I frowned in her general direction and rolled my eyes.
"No it can't! Here….let's go," she said, standing up and grabbing my hand. She dragged me out of the theatre with everyone staring at us. When I mean everyone, I don't just mean the whole theater- the entire movie just got quiet. I turned a brilliant shade of red but understood that no one could get my best friend like I could- she wasn't afraid to do what she wanted, when she wanted. This wasn't always a good thing, but I got used to it.
So she led me into the girls bathroom and started to mess with her hair. "Erin, I wanted to talk to you about Donny and Carlos."
"…Yeah, I know it's wrong," I admitted, leaning against the counter and pulling my blonde hair out of its ponytail. "I should stop."
"No. That's not that I wanted to talk about," she said, looking at me seriously. "I wanted to tell you that Donny…..well….he's been…."
"He's been what, Dani?" I asked quickly.
"He's been cheating on you," she told me slowly. "With just about everyone but me."
"No, no," I laughed, assuming this was another Dani joke that I could hear about for days and days. "He's been completely faithful. He got me that amazing ring I keep showing you." I held up my hand so she could once again take in the beauty of the ring. It was silver and had a small pink heart in the middle of it. It shone dimly in the light.
"Erin, you know that's fake. Look at it; he got it at Luke's Supermarket!" She grabbed my hand and twisted it so I could see. I gasped, seeing the green ring it was leaving around my finger. She had once again been right- the ring was as fake as she said. A small tear crawled down my cheek- Donny and I had been together for exactly one year last week, and he still seemed to be in love with me. To celebrate our one-year-aversary, we did what he'd been bugging me about ever since we met. I'm sure you can imagine what. It was really painful, but in the end he seemed really happy and I felt the same way because it meant that we were connected in a way he wasn't with anyone else.
"It-it doesn't mean anything. Donny loves me."
"E, please wake up and see the Carlos. He really does love you. Donny really…..really doesn't. Please."
"Dani, I can't believe you'd say this to me. You're my best friend," I finally said weakly. "You're supposed to support me no matter what."
"What am I supposed to do?" she asked, throwing her hands into the air dramatically. Another Dani-ism was being dramatic. "Stand around and watch him cheat on you with the entire cheerleading squad? We are best friends, and that means no lies. So I'm not telling you a lie when I say he's cheating on you. Somewhere deep down too, you know it."
"….Brittany," I whispered. She was the head cheerleader, the huge slut at school, and my worst nightmare. I'd seen Donny talking to her on occasion, but thought nothing of it. I'd seen Donny give her a hug and thought he was just being friendly. Then one day I'd seen Donny kiss her. I told him about it, and he said she'd made him. Yeah right, like she'd made him stick his tongue in her mouth.
"Brittany," she confirmed, handing me her cell phone. "Call him."
"Call who?" I asked, confused.
She rolled her eyes. "Donny. Tell him it's over." I reluctantly took the phone and dialed his number. A few rings and, to my surprise, he picked up.
"Hey Dani," he answered smoothly. "I knew you'd call me someday."
"Donny, this is Erin," I said angrily. "And this is me ending our relationship. We're over."
"Aw babe, you know I was kidding! Honestly!"
"Honestly, I knew you weren't. I know Dani would never go for you. It's done. Goodbye, Donny."
"Wait, babe-" I hung up on him before he could try to persuade me. I sighed in relief, smiling at Dani who was smiling back at me.
"Don't you have a Carlos to find?" she asked, giggling. I laughed too and pulled out my own phone, remembering that it was in my pocket.
"How about I text him and we'll call it even. Now, let's get back inside to the Fred movie….do you think Lucas is cute?" I asked her as we walked in.
"Well, he's not exactly Kendall…."

I snuggled in closer to Carlos, inhaling his musky scent. I heard him chuckle and looked up into his warm brown eyes. "Warm enough, Erin?"
"Definetely."
"I still don't like the whole 'JamesxDanixKendall' thing," he said, emphasizing the x's with his fingers.
"Are you talking in fan fiction speak?" I laughed, remembering Dani's addiction to writing. Boy, would her readers be pissed if they found out how and who she was slacking with.
"I am. It's just weirding me out. Oh, Kendall woke up. Uh oh." We watched as Kendall slowly opened his eyes and looked down at Dani. Then he saw James, looked pissed, and angrily shoved James' head away from Dani's shoulder. This woke James up quickly.
"Dude, what's the matter?" James asked sleepily.
"You fell asleep on my girlfriend. I'm not okay with that," Kendall replied quickly.
"I didn't mean to…..," James clearly lied. His voice was shaking. To my amazement Dani was still asleep through all this, and that wasn't like her.
"You did. Stay away from Dani, alright? Find yourself another girl or find yourself another friend," Kendall threatened. James' face dropped and there was defeat in his eyes. I halfway felt bad for James, but they were going out officially now, so it didn't matter that he was upset. Kendall slowly woke Dani up and they went off to bed, her giving me a silent smile and a promise not to "do a thing with Kendall".
"What about you? Would you like to sleep in my room?" Carlos asked after Logan left the room. I blushed at the thought, but also remembered Donny taking the one thing I saved special.
"I don't know, Carlos," I answered honestly. "Can I just….sleep on the floor?"
"Of course." He smiled, and that's when I knew I'd finally picked out the right guy.
