Harv smirks and shrugs. "I just know things."

"You fuckers need to start talking or I swear to god." Jaden looks between us.

"Fine, me and Summer had sex last week, but she asked me to not say anything. She had feelings of, uh…"

"Being a hypocrite?" Jaden finishes.

"Fuck you." Arch turns serious.

"Aight, lover boy, don't bite my head off." Jaden shrugs

"Anyway, she came over last night after that fuck show with Logan…"

"Basically, fornicating her neck." I finish for him, and he turns to me and I grin.

I was so fucking mad last night. I wanted to talk to her at the party. One minute, she was there uncomfortable on Logan’s lap, then she disappeared. I looked for her but she was nowhere. I couldn’t imagine she snuck away with Archer.

I thought I was coming back to sleep when I heard her coming. I honestly don't know what I expected to see when I opened the door.

Maybe that I was imagining things, and it was another girl. But there she was, naked, her and Arch looking at each other like lovers.

"She came and—"

"…she came." Jaden jokes and we all laugh.

"You are an idiot."

Jaden shrugs. "I saw an opening. Continue, Arch."

"I knew she would be there, and I hadn't seen her all week, as you know…"

"How would we know all that when you two have been sneaking around and keeping everything mum?" Jaden interjects.

"Will you shut up?" Harvey says.

"She’s still dating that guy and she feels really shitty about what we did."

"As she should," Harvey says.

"No, she shouldn't. We aren't some strangers in the streets. She is still ours," I remind him.

"She doesn't think so," Harvey says and we all don't have an answer to rebuttal that fully because she is technically still dating Logan.

"She just needs time to sort herself out, okay? She…we didn't plan what happened."

"So last night was the second time?" Jaden asks.

Arch nods.

"So, when is she dumping that loser so we can work on our relationship?" Jaden picks an orange on the counter.

"And when is she coming back here so we can talk to her?" I ask.

"No, we can't do that."

"Why not?"

"Because she needs to sort it out herself. If we pressure her, she’ll pull away. You know Summer doesn't like being told what to do. We just need to be here for her. She will make a decision," Arch says.
