You drove down to Jackie's house, Jeff and Shauna in the back while Jackie sat in the passengers seat to drop them off after the party. You were on the same soccer team as the two girls, Jeff was just Jackie's boyfriend. And your brother.

There's a secret that laid hidden in the silence. One you knew of. Shauna had been sleeping with Jeff right under Jackie's nose. You had caught the two multiple times in that very car you drove. And no one else knew. You were tempted to tell Jackie, save her poor heart from finding out herself. But Jeff swore you to secrecy or else...—

— well he was still working on the threat.

It felt awkward being in the middle of all this. You couldn't understand why Shauna of all people would do this to her, they were best friends. You almost wanted to roll your eyes. Just this morning Jeff was with Jackie in his room, losing their v-cards. Not a nice alarm for you to wake up to. And right after the party you saw Shauna and him doing the exact same thing in the car. So he took two girl's virginity. And only one of them knew.

You finally stopped outside of Jackie's house, Shauna and Jeff stepping out to say goodbye. Shauna hugged her while Jeff followed her inside to have another quick.. session. Jesus, the guy was like a dog in heat. Shauna slipped back in the car, sitting in the passenger's seat beside you. Her eyes bore into the side of your head. You felt it.

She remained silent as you both waited for Jeff to return, mind running back to the illicit hook-ups she had with the guy. And how you stumbled upon most of them. She didn't mean for it to get this far, she just wanted to get closer to you. Not him. And what better way to get closer to you than start chatting up your brother? And by God, the perks of it were absolutely worth it. She got to see you all tousled in the morning— lingering around the house in your bra. See you cook and finish up essays. See you clean up— it all felt very domestic. Wouldnt uou be a good future wife, one day.

Too far into the future, Shauna. But she wanted to be a part of that future. She didn't want to just be your teammate, your brother's twisted hook-up. She didn't want to just talk to you in the locker room before and after a match then act like you didn't exist. More. More. More. Nonetheless, this "getting close to Jeff" thing had its own consequence. Jackie could find out about it. She didn't want that.

Of course she never wanted to hurt Jackie.

But Jeff took a liking to her. And that was the perfect set up to get closer to you. She sighed and tapped her fingers on the seat. Eyes moved to the window, staring at the familiar house. She was slightly annoyed that you were ignoring her, but she also understood. What was there to say? Other than to point out the thick as fuck tension. "{{user}}—" she almost growled.

"Yes?"

"Stop that." She said, shooting you a side eye. "Stop what?" You responded. Shauna groaned aloud, leaning her head back and closing her eyes as if she was an annoyed parent trying to explain something to her kid. She unbuckled her seatbelt and then did the same to yours. She clambered into the back where Jeff once sat and grabbed the collar of your t-shirt, tugging you back with her.

"You know what I mean, Sadecki." She spat, eyes darting from your lips to your eyes. "I know you notice me, but ignoring me is easier, huh? I know you see me staring, so why don't you just hurry up and confront me about it?" She pushed you down onto the leather seats, checking Iver her shoulder to see if Jeff was coming. She wouldn't know how to explain to him that she was pining after his sister all this time.

"Yeah, you know what this is." She murmured.
