Got to find Chloe

Zack quickly put some clothes on and rushed out of the room in search of his other best friend, Chloe. She left not to long ago, so she shouldn't be far, he thought. Zack walked down the corridor of rooms, debating whether to check inside some of them, and deciding not to, he would rather not walk in on anything he was intended to see. Zack made it to the common area and saw that the room was fairly busy. Brandon and Ashley sat on a sofa together, with Ashley in Brandon's lap. Whenever Zack had crossed paths with Ashley since their tryst in the caves, he had felt uncomfortable, and just a touch horny after remembering what they had done together, today was no different, and it didn't help the way she smirked at him as he passed by.

Hannah and Taylor, the two best friends, sat together chatting softly on one of the sofas, but the constant glances thrown his way from the two older bombshells gave away what they were probably talking about. Zack still didn't know what to feel about what he did with his own sister last night, but he had to live with the consequences now, and if the worst entailed Hannah finding out, that was just fine with him. Zack made his way towards the sofa where Lisa sat watching the television. He sat down beside her and saw that they were watching the soccer game, it seemed as if Lisa got her way with what to watch, Zack was fairly surprised that Brandon was even watching, seeing as he disliked the sport. Zack looked over at the quarterback, and saw his head hanging back, Ashley saw where Zack was looking and pointed at Brandon before pretending to sleep. Zack nodded, just what Brandon would do he chuckled internally. "How was your evening last night?" Lisa whispered over her shoulder without taking her eyes of the screen.

"You little minx! I knew it was you." Zack said as he kissed her neck.

"Down boy! You know soccer time is a no go."

"I know, plus I'm busy with something now anyways."

"What's up?" Lisa asked turning her head slightly towards Zack. Zack tucked her hair behind her ear and pulled her back into him so that she was lying down on him with her head on his chest.

"Well" he said while playing with her hair, Lisa always did have the softest hair, and he loved the feel of it. "I'm looking for Chloe right now, wanted to catch up on something."

"Uh huh? No need to hide anything from me." She said as she felt up his crotch enjoying the growing bulge in his shorts.

"Wasn't hiding anything at all. I just wanted to talk, we'll see where thing go from there. Can I ask you for a favor?" That got Lisa's attention, she turned fully towards him and raised a perfect eyebrow.

"_The _Zack Bishop is asking me for a favor? How could I refuse?" She said in one of those comically girly voices. Zack was thankful they were keeping their conversation at a volume where they were the only ones who could here what they were saying. "What do you need stud?"

"Stud? Really?"

"Takes a real man to keep up with the Rivera's, and I hear you have some extra to spare as well." She said. Zack kissed her lightly on the lips before continuing.

"I'm a little worried with the interaction between Heather and Kurt lately." Zack said.

"That's true. But why is that any of your business? Oh there they are by the way, looks like they're heading out somewhere."

"See what I mean? She's practically all over him, that's messed up! Aren't they cousins?"

"Well, they may be cousins, but aren't you and Taylor siblings? I'd say that's more messed up if I weren't so into it."

"Uhh, whatever." He grumbled just watching Kurt and Heather interact and laugh, she seemed so comfortable around him, so much at ease.

"What's the issue Zacky? People can't be happy unless they're with you?"

"You know that's not the case Lisa. She said she liked me, and I think I may like her, but she keeps going behind my back and fucking Kurt!" He said in disgust.

"Ooh, that's a problem. You see, the problem with Heather is that.."

"I know, she's scared of commitment but still, that can't be any excuse."

"Well to her it might be, it prevents her from getting hurt. When someone's with you Zack, they just can't help going all in. When the relationship eventually starts to crumble, it hurts a lot especially knowing how invested you were in it. She probably doesn't want that risk of pain, she sees what kind of guy you are, the settle down kind of guy, that's obviously not what she wants right now, or probably ever. Kurt is a good fit for what she wants, a guy who will be there for her when she needs one, and most importantly, no strings attached. You have too many strings Zack, not many girls like that sort of thing at this age, present company excluded of course. Just too bad we're fuck buddies, nothing more."

"Hmm." He mumbled as Heather had caught sight of him and was walking over. Lisa would've liked to here a 'just fuck buddies' or perhaps a 'we're much more than that' but she saw the reason for his short response fast approaching.

"Hey Zack, Lisa." Heather said as she stood in front of them.

"Hey Heather." Zack said neutrally, but a hint of coldness seeped through the crevices. Zack was trying to make it seem as if everything was normal, as he was not in the right mind to face questions about his suspiciously cold behavior.

"Umm, ok." Heather said as she looked at Zack curiously. "Everything ok Zack?"

"Yeah, of course everything is. Where've you been? I was looking for you?"

"Oh, you know, here and there." She laughed awkwardly. "Having so much fun you sometimes lose track of time." She chuckled. Zack knew exactly what she had been doing, and the coldness was seeping more and more into his voice.

"Having so much fun you forgot what happened a couple hours ago?" Zack said as Heather's mind started to work overtime. _Hold up, he doesn't know does he? How would he, unless there was someone else in the room? The closet? Who could it have been? Not Zack, he wouldn't stoop that low, I hope. Brandon, Gavin, the girls? Shit, this better not blow up in my face. Why do I even care what Zack thinks? I have feelings for him true, but I feel something for Kurt as well. My feelings for Zack are definitely stronger, but the fuckings Kurt gives me makes me so confused. What should I do? I need someone's advice. Lisa? No, the whore is probably fucking Zack. Wait, whore? She's my friend! Am I jealous? I didn't feel this strongly when Kurt told me he would going on a date with his ex who was staying at a cabin with her family. I only asked to come because I wanted to meet her, see what Kurt's tastes are like. Am I jealous of Lisa for spending so much intimate time with Zack? Would I even be able to be like that? Can I settle down? I have to speak with someone, Hannah! She'd know what to do. _Heather had all that speed through her head before Zack started to get annoyed at her ignoring him.

"Yeah, I guess." She said distractedly as her thoughts stuck in her head. "Kurt and I are going to head out and meet up with one of Kurt's exes for dinner."

"Ooh, that's great Heather! Tell me all about it when you get back." Lisa said excitedly to her friend.

"I will for sure." She said looking expectantly at Zack.

"Oh, a date huh? Have fun!" Zack said annoyed as he got up and walked away. Heather stood there and smiled as she watched Zack walk away.

"You shouldn't hurt him like that Heather." Lisa said reproachfully.

"I know, I just had to see for myself if he still felt anything for me."

"Of course he does. Come sit." Lisa patted the vacated spot on the sofa. Heather sat down and put her head on Lisa's shoulder.

"You're such a good friend, Lisa." Heather said

"We girls have to stick together, especially the ones pining over a particular Bishop, I have a feeling we're not the only ones in that particular camp." Lisa said looking around the room.

"I've got to go. I'll come by tonight when I'm back and let you know how thing have gone."

"For sure, oh and Heather."

"Yeah?"

"Make a decision, before you hurt Zack so much that forgiveness is no longer an option." Lisa said as Heather nodded and walked over to Kurt who was chatting with Hannah and Taylor. When he spotted Heather walking towards him, he said goodbye to the girls and the two of them headed out the front door.
