Heath Bowers

"God, you taste so good." I said as I finally pulled away from her.

"So do you," I whispered and ran my fingers through his hair before pulling him into another kiss.

I kissed her hard and deep before pulling away, smiling "We probably shouldn't linger around too long out here."

I smiled up at him. "Where do you want to go?" I asked, slightly breathless.

"Anywhere you want." I chuckled and kissed her again. I moved my tongue into her mouth when I heard a stick snap and my head shot up.

"Well well. Doesn't this look cozy," I said, crossing my arms over my chest.

Ah, fuck. I stepped in front of Alicia "You need to mind your own business Kiara, get out of here."

I raised my eyebrows at him. "You're cheating on my best friend and you're telling me to mind my own business? Fine, maybe I should just go see what Chelsea will think of this," I said and turned around to go back the way I'd come.

Son of a bitch. I took Alicia's hand "Come on, I'm taking you home." I told her "I don't want you around when the shit hits the fan."

"And you think Heath's not gonna come looking for me? They're friends too Ethan."

"I'll take you back to Elena's where Asher and Mason are."

"No. I have to face this. I should've told him a long time ago. I... I can't believe I've been going behind his back like this."

"Alicia...please. I'd prefer not to have Chelsea in your face about the whole thing. Let me take you back to Elena's."

"And you think I want you to deal with Heath? She's gonna get in my face about it sooner or later Ethan. We all live in the same camp. I'd much rather just get it over with."

"I can handle Heath, you shouldn't even worry about that. I'd rather get the full blunt of it all if I possibly can."

"You know that's not gonna happen. I know Chelsea. She's not exactly gonna be thrilled. And you know she's gonna blame me."

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair "Are you sure you wanna stick around?"

"Want to? Hell no. Need to? Yes. And don't say that I don't, I know that I do."

"I'm sorry about this."

"No need to be sorry baby. This was bound to happen sooner or later."

"You're right, I just didn't want it to happen like that. I should have talked to Chelsea."

"And I should've talked to Heath. But we were stupid and we didn't. Now we have to face it. I just... I didn't want to hurt him..."

"Chelsea's been through a lot and I didn't want to hurt her either. I guess I fucked that up, huh?"

"We both did," I said quietly.

I reached down and took her hand in mine and started leading her out of the woods when we ran into Chelsea, Heath, and Kiara. I instinctively put Alicia behind me.
