REVIEWERSS:

BreakYourHeart: Crooke...Or Bramen...Eithers a bit strange. That's an idea. PEOPLE THINK OF A MASH UP NAME FOR THEM! Briley will be around. No worries there.

southfan12191989: Lucy and Ky are definately cute. Lucy's tough...but she can be a total softie sometimes. I dunno, Coop's just a target for most things and drama, the innocent character always gets the drama, it seems.

REVIEW, READ, ENJOY! (Think of a Brooke/Carmen mash up name while you're at it.)

A First Argument

Ashley's POV

Spencer and I are curled up on the couch snuggling. Her head against my chest as we watch random movies on tv. She flips the channel again and we see Alex's show. Spencer chuckles.

"I wonder if art imitates life, or life imitates art in Alex's world." She watches as we see a particularly heated argument going on between Alex and Nikki's characters.

"Probably a little of both. Gotta find inspiration somewhere." I run my fingers through her hair and the front door opens swiftly. I turn my head and see an upset Alex walk through the door with my other sister trailing behind her. Coop walks straight into Arden's room and shuts the door. Alright, I need to know what's going on here.

"Hey, Ky. Long time, sister. Hiding from me?"

She chuckles and rolls her eyes, "Nah, just me and Luce being boring and not involving ourselves in this craziness." She motions around herself.

"What exactly went on over there?" Spencer asks.

Kyla repeats the story to us and Spencer snuggles closer into me. Glad I have her and we don't have a lot of stuff like this to deal with directly.

"Wow, so Al really was a fill in for Brooke?"

Kyla's face scrunches up a bit in thought, "I don't think Carmen was conscious of it during their relationship…maybe towards the beginning. I mean she said that we didn't know how strong her feelings really were until last night."

Spencer runs her fingers through my hair as we sit and catch up with Kyla on the couch, waiting for Ardex's reappearance from Arden's room.

Kyla chuckles, "You two really are adorable. Plus you guys so got it on last night." I raise a brow at her and Spencer blushes slightly. "Oh come on, you're practically glowing, you can't keep your hands off of each other in the cuteest ways possible, anddd you looked like you were going to maul each other at Sappho's last night anyways." She shrugs.

"You're doing that weird freaky sister thing where you analyze me. It's kinda weirding me out Ky, not gonna lie."

"Well, I think it's cute and sweet and great that your sibling knows so much about you." I can sense her mood has changed slightly. She seems a little upset? "Be lucky for that."

Ky and I look between each other with confused expressions. All of a sudden, we hear yelling coming from Arden's room. The door flies open and Coop stomps out. "Why do you fucking care so much, Al? You have me. Isn't that what you want?" Arden yells at her.

Alex whips around, "Fuck yes that's what I want, Ard. Why the hell would you question that?"

"Because you're obsessing over your ex and your best friend. So what, they fucked. Are you jealous or something?"

Alex lets out an exasperated sigh, "You don't fucking get it. But why should you, I mean we've only been together for a night."

"And who's fucking fault is that?" The room falls silent and Alex freezes. Spencer releases a small growl and her eyes narrow, I pull her to me. It would be hot if she weren't going to pummel my sister. Arden looks like she regrets the statement and tries to grasp words to dig her out of this hole.

"Mine." Alex whispers out, looking at some random corner of the room, not meeting any of our eyes. Her shoes scuff the floor.

"Al…no, I didn't mean-"

"No, you did." She sighs, trying to calm herself. She continues in an even tone. "I get that you're frustrated. You normally get what you want when you want it." Arden tries to interrupt, obviously a little hurt by the statement. "No, I'm not being mean, I'm being truthful Ard. Have you ever had to work for a girl?" Arden remains silent. "Have you ever not gotten something you wanted that you could buy?" Silence. "Have you ever grown up having to prove yourself and work really hard because you don't have any connections what so ever?" She has a point. Alex, Bridget and Spencer had to work hard for their fame. Lucy had us as connections. We, Davies girls have a rock star for a father. Sam and Wiley's family is one of the wealthiest in San Francisco. "It's not your fault you've been conditioned to be that way, so I understand the frustration, okay? Just don't throw my insecurities back in my face."

"Al…I'm sorry." Arden walks up to her and wraps her arms around Alex. Alex relaxes slightly. "Now, tell me what I don't understand." She says softly.

"I'm not jealous. Brooke and I have never been and will never been together. We lived with each other for 4 years and I view her as a sister. And as a sister, I'm majorly protective. So when I heard she and Carmen hooked up, I was pissed. She knew I had made a mistake with her and yet she chooses to make the same one." Alex and Arden sit down on the couch opposite us as Alex continues to explain. "I was going over there to find answers and I found them. It unnerved me to discover that my best friend was in love with the ex that screwed me over, I was worried about her. Then, they tell me that Carmen never really wanted me in the first place, but because they were too scared to talk to each other, I got dragged through a relationship that emotionally scarred me. I just felt betrayed. She could've told me to back off and I would have, but she just let me continue to hurt her over and over again without knowing it." Arden intertwines their fingers together. "But I see…that I guess I have to let her make her own mistakes…who knows, maybe Carm can change. Seems to be a trend nowadays." She smiles softly at Arden. She's right. Me, Arden, Wiley, and even Lucy way back when, were not the monogamous kind. We just found the people we'd give it up for. Maybe Brooke can be that for Carmen.
