I woke up to my mom calling my name. I overslept a bit so I jumped right into the shower. I'm not usually so late in the morning. I haven't slept much since that night. It was good I was finally getting rest. I finished my shower quickly and didn't bother with blow drying my hair. I threw on my clothes and made it to the kitchen for breakfast. Sabrina beat me to the table.

"Morning Sunshine!" Sabrina greeted me as she sipped her orange juice.

"What time did you get here?" I asked my best friend who looked like she was dressed to impress. Sabrina had her blonde wavy hair in a ponytail which I never really saw and by that I don't mean the messy kind it looked like she had an interview. She was wearing a black dress with a white undershirt. Who is this girl?

"When you get in the shower." She took a bite of the bacon my mom made. I was the opposite of her today. I just had on jeans and a t-shirt. I knew she was trying to impress Josh, she was so obvious. I don't know how I feel about her wanting to date my uncle. I was fine with her crushing on him but first Lucas and now Josh. What is she trying to do there? I couldn't imagine being able to have feelings for more than one person. I figured one was just an attraction and that was probably to Josh. Josh and Lucas are so different.

"I was in a rush." I said before Josh and Jamie came over and sat down at the table. My dad joined us along with my mom.

"Hey, Sabrina!" Josh smiled and hugged Sabrina. I could see her melt in his arms. I wasn't so hungry anymore but I still ate my bacon and egg bagel.

"Josh!" She smiled sweetly. "You look good."

"You too kid." Josh laughed as he started eating. Kid, that had to hurt. I saw the disappointment on Sabrina's face. Josh still saw her as his niece's little friend. Whether or not her feelings were just an attraction or real, I knew it still hurt her. I felt bad but I also didn't want her getting the wrong idea, I know what that's like.

"Josh is enrolling today, I'll be driving everyone." My dad said as he piled ketchup on his plate. "You're going to love my school little brother."

"I'm sure." Josh rolled his eyes. My dad laughed looking over at my mom with a loving glance.

"I'll show him around dad." Jamie said, making sure to avoid me. I was just as mad at him as he was at me. I was surprised he wasn't ratting me out, maybe Josh already talked to him. I'm beginning to love having him around.

"That's my boy!" My mom said proudly. She was nervous having Josh around but she trust my brother and I. "After school I will talk to you about working at my shop Josh." She mentioned the open job at her coffee shop.

"Sounds great." Josh was happy about making easy money. He didn't want to be constantly out of money.

"You also will have an allowance like these two." My dad explained to his younger brother.

"Nice!" Josh exclaimed. We get money weekly for doing things around the house. I didn't do anything this week. I was too much of a mess, but I saved money really easily.

We finished eating and made our way to school. Sabrina was all over Josh in the car. Some would say she was being pathetic but I didn't think that low of her. She just doesn't know what she wants. Jamie didn't say a word to me and I was relieved. My dad dropped us off and took Josh right into the office. I went up to my locker like I do every morning. Sabrina went to the science lab to get the homework she forgot. I was surprised by Lucas standing at his locker that was pretty close to mine.

Lucas's POV

I've been beating myself up about my actions with Rowan and Sabrina all week. I knew what I did was wrong. I know it hurt Sabrina, badly and it broke my heart to see them fight so much. I knew Sabrina was ready to forgive Rowan and I hoped things were okay with them. I wanted to make everything right again. It also broke my heart to see Rowan so sad and depressed. I stood at my locker looking over at her. She is so beautiful, inside and outside. I wished for another universe where it was possible for her to love me back. If I can't have that I can at least have her friendship again. I walk over to her.

"Please talk to me." I pleaded for forgiveness.

"Okay." Rowan agreed. I felt a wave of relief.

"You and Sabrina are okay?" I asked getting closer to her.

"Better than okay. We've moved past it." She smiled. I did too.

"I'm so glad!" I hugged her. She didn't hug back. "Are we going to be friends again?" I pulled away.

"Yeah, I just want to make sure you know where I stand." She said not wanting the lines to get blurred again.

"That makes sense, I'm sorry." I apologized for skipping steps.

"I want you to know that we can't ever be together." She said gently, trying to not hurt me.

"I know." I looked like I was in pain.

"It's not because I think you're horrible." She bit her lip. "Lucas, you're amazing and I would be lucky to have you." Those words felt so good and so bad. "Sabrina is so important to me. I would never hurt her."

"I understand Row." I said as my heart was breaking.

"If things were different then maybe we could've worked but not in this lifetime." She mentioned. "If you know this then I would gladly be your friend again." She pulled me in for a hug. It was nice having her back.

"I won't make that mistake again." We pulled away and smiled.

"Good to know." She said as she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked scared.

"Hey, babe." Kendall said glaring at me.

"Uh hey." Rowan said Kendall kissed her cheek. She looked at me as I looked down.

"What are you doing? Don't you have to get to class?" Kendall asked her. She nodded and looked at me before leaving hand in hand with her boyfriend.

I stood at the lockers watching Rowan leave with Kendall. I felt sick to my stomach. How could she be with him? I knew Kendall was a jerk and he was the last thing Rowan needed in her life. I'm not saying she has to be with me, I understand why she can't be with me. It hurts a lot but I've accepted it. I can't do this. She's being really stupid with him. I should've never left her alone at that party. If I didn't maybe none of this would be happening. I pushed her away by admitting my feelings and I pushed Sabrina away. I needed to make it right with Sabrina. I went to class and found Sabrina sitting at her desk.

"Sabrina?" I looked at her as she looked up at me standing here. Class was too loud for anyone to even notice us talking.

"What?" She asked in a tone that wasn't mad or happy.

"I heard you and Row are back in gear." I searched myself to figure out more to say.

"Yeah, we are." Sabrina looked at me waiting for the rest of my story.

"I wanted to apologize again." She nearly rolled her eyes at me but stopped herself. "I was drunk and I should've handled things better." I continued and she softened up more. "Rowan forgave me." I took a deep breath. "Can you too?" I opened myself to her hoping for a good response.

"Okay." Sabrina said to me. My friend is back. "It's going to take some time for the three of us to get to where we were." She breathed. "But it'll get there."

"Thanks Sab." I smiled.

Now that Sabrina and I are good, Rowan and I are good things can slowly be like the way they were before. I just need to get everything back to normal before I try and talk some sense into Rowan. I knew Sabrina would back me up about Kendall being a douchebag. I also can go to her brother and parents. Anything to get her away from him before he becomes a bad influence or dumps her once he gets what he really wants from her.
