"Why?" Kylee whined as Audrey ran a straightener through her hair.

"Because you were a mess last party!" Danielle exclaimed.

"Name one thing I did." Kylee crossed her arms.

"Tried to fight Nathan." Kaylynn stated.

"Threatened to shit on his carpet." Audrey shook her head. "Just not too much, Ky."

"Fine!" Kylee cried, throwing her arms out.

"What's all the yelling about?" Sam asked, walking into Audrey's room and sitting down beside her mirror so he could face her.

"We told Kylee she's not allowed to drink." Audrey explained as she brushed her hair.

"Well I hope not. I don't want to have to clean up shit." He teased.

"You know you're the ugly brother, right?" Kylee snapped.

Audrey spun around, glaring at her friend. "He is not!"

"Shut up, you're ugly too." Kylee shoved her with her foot.

Audrey threw her brush at her. The girls finished getting ready before they headed downstairs. People started piling in as Audrey finished prepping a few things. Sam was always by her side, telling her to take it easy. She didn't know how to take it easy. Everything had to be perfect.

Kylee was drunk. She had snuck more alcohol all night. Eric was feeding her. He was a good boyfriend. All Kylee wanted was to play beer pong. She convinced Eric as well. They walked over to the empty table. They decided to play singles.

Until Kylee started crying. All the girls came over to comfort her. They noticed she had ended up drunk, but they were all just as intoxicated as she was. They hugged her while she apologized about Nathan's house. She ran over to Nathan and clinged to him like a koala bear while mumbling on about how sorry she was and how much she loved him. He just laughed and said he loved her too.

Thatcher watched the mess going on. He looked over and Sam was standing alone, watching over everyone. Thatcher excused himself from the small group he was with. He walked over to Sam. Sam gave him a look as he stood beside him. Sam could tell Thatcher was up to no good.

"I was at that party when Griffin told everyone about you and Audrey." Thatcher spoke. Sam took a deep breath. "I remember my first time, same girl, but about three years ago."

Sam just set his can down and walked away. Audrey watched the exchange between the two. She threw her arms out in Thatcher's direction. He just looked away, drinking from his cup. She shook her head, chasing after Sam. He was sitting in the backyard on the small picnic table they had for the kids. She walked over to him, rubbing his back and she sat next to him.

"I'm sorry Thatcher is the way he is." She sighed, resting her head on his shoulder.

"He really knows how to get to me." Sam growled. "I hate knowing he ever fucking touched you. That's what gets to me."

"Listen," Audrey said, standing in front of him. She grabbed his face. "I waited for you to be ready and I stayed with you afterwards. Thatcher was a one and done."

"He was still your first, Audrey! That's something I'll never have over him!" He exclaimed.

"Who fucking cares? I don't, so why should you?" She hollered back, throwing her arms out. "It isn't about who I was with for the first time, it's about who I want to be for every other time, and that person is you." She shoved him.

Sam just stared at Audrey. The back door opened and Dana came running over. She whacked Sam in the back of the head. He spun around. Dana was shaking her head at him. He was confused.

"Stop being a bitch. Realize this girl loves you." She spat.

"I know she loves me." He spoke. "It's just hard with Thatcher always fucking with me."

Dana frowned at Sam. Her eyes looked over to Audrey. Audrey was staring at Sam with her eyes watering. Her eyes shifted to Dana. Dana huffed before storming back into the house. She was in a hunt. She spotted Thatcher over people and stormed over. She shoved him from behind. He stumbled then turned to see who it was.

"You're such a little piece of shit!" Dana yelled. Everyone stopped what they were doing. "I don't know what the fuck has you so hung up over Audrey, but you need to stop trying to fuck up her relationship."

"Dana," Zach stepped over, trying to calm her.

"Don't." She hissed at him. She could hear Eric quieting Kylee who was making noises. Dana turned back to Thatcher. "You are not the kind of guy that girls want to be with. And this is why."

"You're being really cold." Thatcher finally spoke.

"It's the truth. Compared to the way you've been acting, this is nothing." She finished before she walked away.

Dana looked over at the stairs. Audrey was now standing on them with Sam guiding her up them. Audrey mouthed 'thank you' to her friend before going upstairs. Audrey followed Sam into her room. Audrey sat on the edge of her bed and watched as Sam changed into his pajamas. He turned to face her and saw she was crying.

"Babe, what are you crying about?" He sighed, sitting next to her and pulled her close.

"I'm so sick of guys from my past trying to fuck things up." She sobbed into Sam. "I'm sorry you have to deal with this mess I am."

He shook his head. "Nothing is going to fuck us up, you know why? Because I love you." He kissed the top of her head.

"Do you only love me now because we had sex?" She frowned up at him.

He laughed, stroking her cheek. "I loved you before we had sex and I'll love you when we're both too old for it."

She gave him a small smile. "Good."
