Summary: Amber has liked Jimin for sometime now. But unfortunately he is dating her best friend. When things start to unfold before her eyes, her life is changed. But is it for the good or the bad?

I woke up on my couch, still wearing the same makeup from the night before. I rolled over and glanced at the clock.

8:00 a.m.

I groaned in disapproval.

My phone buzzing on the coffee table, must've been the reason I woke up. I picked it up and saw Caroline's picture staring at me.

"Hey." I said groggily.

"Good morning! Did you forget that we're leaving at 10?" Caroline laughed into the phone.

"Oh no, I'm already packed so I'm sleeping in a little." I lied. I couldn't help but feel weird, especially about what happened, or what could've happened.

I know she was in the wrong, yet I couldn't manage the reoccurring guilt that resided in my stomach.

"Okay well I'll see you guys then. Bye!"

I walked over to the bathroom and took the remaining makeup off, dreading this entire beach trip.

I finally went through my clothes and threw some outfits together. I picked up my phone and realized I had about ten messages. All from him.

Jimin: Amber, I am so sorry. I just want things to be okay between us.

I slumped on my bed, I didn't know what to think or say. I understood, but can't he be selfish for one minute? I just wanted to tell him about her, about all the lies she's fed him.

I contemplated everything as I scanned over the messages.

Jimin: Did you want it too?

My fingers hovered over the keyboard. What do I say?

I began to type.

Jimin. I always have, I|

Jimin. I always|

Me: Jimin. It was the heat of the moment, don't worry ok?

I quickly sent the message, with utter dismay making itself comfortable in my gut. I exited out of my messaging app, hoping the feeling would subside soon.

As I zipped up my suitcase, someone was knocking on my door.

I sat up quickly, running to the door. I looked through the peep hole seeing Eliza's curls.

I smiled and opened the door, seeing her face smirking at me.

"Girl, you didn't answer any of my texts. I was starting to think something happened!" She said worriedly, storming inside my apartment. I shut the door behind her.

"I'm okay Eliza, really. I just overslept!" I lied through my teeth, hoping she wouldn't pry any further.

"So nothing happened when Jimin came over?" Eliza said sounding unsure.

"We just talked. That's all." I replied. She crossed her arms, and scoffed. "Fine, you don't have to tell me."

"Well there's nothing to tell." I added.

The room fell silent. I averted my eyes from her gaze, and went into my bedroom to grab my suitcase. I didn't really feel like telling Eliza about the almost kiss with Jimin. I avoided the subject because the last thing I wanted was to be reminded of last night. I came out to see her walking toward the couch, her curls bouncing with every step she took.

"Anyways... so are you all set for the beach?" She broke the silence.

"Yeah, let's just put on a movie until Caroline and Jimin get here." I told her.

As the movie began to play, Eliza muted it. "I don't want to watch a movie, I want to know if you're okay."

I sighed,"No I'm not okay, I don't want to be in this situation."

I began again,"I don't want to be number two, you know what I mean? Like he already has her, and I'm just going to be the other girl. It's just not fucking fair." I said angrily.

"But at the same time Amber, it's always been you. They've shared kisses and went on dates sure, but y'all always connected on a deeper level and you two know that." Eliza attempted to reassure me.

She laughed,"And you haven't even been number two because they haven't even had sex. Yet she's willing to cheat on Jimin with Chris. If anything that makes her lower."

I leaned my head on Eliza,"Speaking of which, do you know if he has any sort of social media?" She asked me.

"Why?" I said suspiciously.

"Nothing! I just wanna creep." Eliza smirked.

"Oh yeah his username is chris.m.1994" I said, looking at an old picture of him and Caroline from months ago.

Eliza grabbed her phone, and started typing really fast.

"Why?" I pressed again, becoming more suspicious.

"I may see what he's doing today... I'm that bitch." She laughed loudly.

"Eliza- NO STOP!" I tried snatching the phone from her hand. She got up and ran around my apartment, and I darted after her like a crazy woman.

"What's the harm?" She ran into my room. "I just wanna hang out with him!"

"The worst thing he could say is no! Or 'you're creeping me out and how did you get my username?' But I'm hoping for the best!" She said from the inside of my closet.

"GET OUT I'M NOT PLAYING! GIVE ME THE DAMN PHONE!" I yelled.

"Oh yeah? You and what army?" She said confidently.

We heard a knock on the door, and became silent.

"Eliza delete that message I am begging you." I whisper yelled into the closet crack.

She opened the door to the closet looking satisfied with herself.

"And it's done." She walked out of the bedroom,"I'll get the door... Muahahahaha."

I sat on my bedroom floor dumbfounded.

"Hey Caroline! Girl you look so good." That snake. She knew exactly what she is doing.

I was in such a trance I didn't  even notice Caroline walk into my room.

"Hey what are you doing on the floor?" She asked curiously.

"Oh I was looking for an earring but couldn't find it so I gave up, and here I am now." I said fake smiling.

She laughed, and sat down next to me. " You haven't told Eliza about Chris right? I'm just asking because I don't want things to be more awkward." What did she mean?

"He doesn't even know about Jimin, he just thinks that he's our friend from out of town that comes and stays over sometimes." I wanted to punch her. I hesitated, then laughed nervously. "Oh really? And why would I do that?" I stood up and grabbed my bag.

"You're right, I was just curious." She followed me out of my room. As we made our way into the living room, I heard Jimin's infectious laugh.

We made eye contact and exchanged hellos...like nothing happened. My eyes panned over to Eliza, she was smiling at her phone and it made my heart race. I was scared of what the night might turn into.

"Shall we go?" Jimin asked, smiling and taking the bags from our hands.

We all piled into the car and headed off. Since we live in Oregon, the "beach" is a small lake front campsite. But to us it's a beach.

The car ride was for the most part silent, with the exception of the monotone music. Caroline kept trying to make small talk which didn't last long.

Just then I felt Eliza tap on my shoulder, she gestured for me to take her phone. I rolled my eyes and grabbed it.

I gave her a pained expression. "Just read it." She mouthed to me. I brought my attention back to her phone screen.

It was her Instagram conversation with Chris.

elizugh: hey you probably don't know me... but I'm a really good friend of Caroline's! I wanted to ask you something.

chris.m.1994: oh hey! what's up?

elizugh: nothing much, but you remember Amber right?

chris.m.1994: yeah she's super cool! I've only met her once though, what about her? :)

elizugh: well we thought that it'd be great if you surprised Caroline. We're going on a girls trip and it would be cool if you came! She would freak out :) But please don't tell her, we're trying to surprise her! Also sorry if this is weird we just love our friend!

chris.m.1994: you're fine hahah! I don't think you're weird! Okay for sure, I'll be there. Just send me the address! :)

I could not believe her. This was going to be a very long weekend.

Thirty minutes passed and we pulled up to the cabin. It was so quaint, there was two rooms on the first floor and a loft on the top.

It was now about seven and we were making dinner. Eliza was continuously checking her phone and chopping vegetables. Jimin was grilling the burgers, and Caroline was in their room. I sat there peeling the potatoes, my nerves eating away at me.

Eliza smiled and glanced at the door. I internally screamed as I heard a knock. I felt like I was about to puke.

"I'll get it." Jimin said confused. I watched as he walked over to the door eating a piece of meat. "Hey man, can I help you?"

"Hey you must be Jimin! I'm Chris! Yeah I'm looking for my girlfriend." Chris laughed, I could see that he was wearing cargo shorts, a navy shirt and a white hat. My eyes widened and I turned to Eliza who was trying her best not to burst out laughing.

"Hey! Come on in dude, Eliza is right there." Jimin said inviting him in while pointing at Eliza. Eliza waved subtly, looking back at me.

Like clockwork, Caroline came out from her room. "No that's my girlfriend." He said going over to Caroline, and wrapping his arms around her.

Caroline looked like she was about to pass out. Her eyes trailed up at Jimin, then to Eliza and me.

Jimin laughed, "Man there must be a mistake-This has been my girlfriend for two years?" He said in hysterics.

Chris let go and stepped back to look at Caroline. "Well that's weird because she's been my girlfriend for a year now."

The two boys stared at Caroline, Jimin had an unreadable expression. But at the same time it was like he was okay. "Aren't you going to fucking say something?" Chris yelled at her.

"Wait wait, let's not yell." Jimin sighed, "Caroline? Who is he?" He asked in frustrated tone.

Chris began to speak,"I'm-"

"No, no. Let her answer. Caroline, who is he?" Jimin pressed again, stepping closer to her. She ignored him and plopped onto the love seat.

"Yeah who am I?" Chris intervened.

I was watching Caroline's web unwind. I turned the stove off. Then sat at the table.

After what seemed to be an eternity, Caroline finally spoke.

"How did you even know I was here?" She emotionlessly questioned.

"That doesn't matter right now, don't try and flip this around. Who am I to you?" Chris raised his voice once more.

Jimin crossed his arms and sighed loudly.

"You guys are both my boyfriends, is that what you wanted to hear?" The two boys exchanged glances, and returned their gaze back to her.

Chris laughed,"Are you fucking serious, Caroline?"

"Yeah but its lik-"

Chris instantly interrupted,"No, no you told me that Jimin was a friend that stayed with you sometimes because he lives out of town. You told me that there as nothing to worry about! But clearly you're dating and have been dating for two fucking years!"

Jimin started getting mad I guess because he looked at her and I've never seen him look this way before. He then began to talk. "I know you met him at your training. I knew that you and him were close because you had the same major and you told me that you wanted to get closer to him because he had connections. This is so ridiculous."

"Why did you continue to have sleep with me then Caroline? If you had a boyfriend why would you do that?" Chris fumed.

"Wait a minute... you two slept together?" Jimin rose his voice.

"Jimin I- it's not what you think." Caroline got up from her seat and started approaching Jimin.

"Don't lie to him Caroline! You know it happened, so just tell him!" Chris yelled.

"You told me that you weren't ready. So I waited. Why would you tell me that?" Caroline began sobbing. I felt like shit, not because it's happening but the way it's happening.

"You know I was invited here to surprise you? I had the whole weekend planned, and it was going to be so perfect. Your friend sent me the address so I decided to show up."

Caroline wiped away her tears, and looked up at Eliza and I.

"You guys did this to me on purpose! You can't ever just leave things alone Amber!" She shouted at me.

"Don't fucking get mad at her!" Eliza said. She left the kitchen, and stood in front of Caroline.

"It was me. I sent him here." She confessed.

"Why would you-"

Eliza intervened. "Why would I? I thought we were all friends here? I'm sorry I didn't know the extent of your little relationship!"

Caroline jumped in front of Eliza and yelled, "Yeah but Amber does! She heard me on the phone the night of her birthday! So I know she told you so stop acting like you didn't do this on purpose!"

"You know you shouldn't be getting mad at them. They only did what was right." Chris said calmly.

"How long did you think you could do this Caroline?" Jimin asked looking at her intensely.

"I don't have to stay here and take this. I'm leaving." She snapped and went in the room to collect her stuff. "Don't follow me, I'm going to walk to the office."

The door slammed behind her and the room fell silent.

Jimin ran outside. My heart sank. We opened the door to see him sprinting after her in the driveway.

"Caroline! Stop!"  He yelled.

"I told you not to follow me Jimin." She spat.

"I know, I just wanted to make sure you knew it was over." He smiled and waved at her. Then proceeded back to the house.

When he came inside it was like something was  different. He looked up at me and half smiled, which I understood.

"Well guys, uhh thanks for the closure I guess. I should probably head out. Maybe we can hangout sometime, but in the way future." Chris laughed and waved as he opened the door. As the door slammed once more, we heard his car start and peel out.

I walked over to the couch and sat next to Jimin. "Are you okay?" I asked as I placed my hand in his knee.

"No" he paused, "but I will be." He smiled at me, placing his hand on top of mine.
