Xander's arms went automatically around her, and he yawned. "We should get somewhere more comfortable than this....."

Carrie nodded, closing her eyes. "Mmn, now I'm glad I skipped school today to check up on you..."

"Shit..." Xander sighed, standing up with her wrapped in his arms. "It's a f**k**g school day.... Cars, you really should have gone....." his protests were feeble at best, since he was too glad to see her to worry much about it." He set her gently on his bed and pulled her shoes off, before ditching his shirt and snuggled against her.
"You're not leaving now, though, okay?"

Carrie nodded, cuddling up against him. "I'm more than fine with that. Eh, s'not like the rents are going to find out I cut anytime soon...they're almost never home and I just delete the messages the school leaves when I get home." She yawned softly, closing her eyes again.

Xander nodded slightly, too tired to really listedn. "Just be here when I wake up, Cars....." and with that, he was out.

“You f**king manwh*re!” Cassie’s voice cut through the silence, followed shortly by someone fumbling with the front door. It opened and Cass stomped in, slamming the door behind her.
Jack stood outside, leaning against a car, and sighed. They had broken up so why did Cass care who he slept with? She wasn’t his girlfriend anymore, so it was none of her d*mn business. He sighed again and walked to the front door, expecting it to be open.
“C’mon Cassie, unlock the d*mn door.” Jack knocked loudly, ringing the doorbell when that didn’t work. He wiped his forehead with the back of his hand; it was way too hot to be locked outside.
“Baby, please. I’m sorry.” Jack yelled loud enough to be heard through the door.
“Yeah right!” Cassandra shouted back, stomping all the way back to Xander’s room, blushing slightly when she saw Carrie was there in bed with him.
“Sorry, sorry. Didn’t mean to interrupt.” She retreated to the kitchen and sat down at the table, pretending not to hear Jack cursing and pounding on the door so hard she was afraid he would break it down.

Xander winced slightly, his eadache coming back instantly. He eased away from Carrie, who by some miracle was still asleep. He looked pointedly at his sleeping girlfriend, then glanced at Cassie, hoping she'd take the hint.
"Morning, Cass." he glanced at the clock, noting it was almost 2. "Er, afternoon, Cassie." he smiled slightly

“Hey,” Cass replied coolly, not bothering to look up. The pounding at the door had stopped and there was a quick knock at the kitchen window. Jack’s hand pressed against the glass, he didn’t look too happy.
“Dude, let me in.”

Xander sighed and ran his hand through his paint-splashed hair. "I'm gonna go.... let jack in." it was almost a question as he headed towards the door, giving Cass enough time to stop him.

Cass was about to let him go but at the last second she had a better idea.
“Xander wait!” She walked towards him, watching Jack watch them out of the corner of her eye. “You look like shit.” She brushed his cheek with the back of her hand, leaning forward slightly.
“Kiss me?” Cassie had a way of making her requests sound like demands and this time was no different.

Xander managed to look away without moving at all. He sighed. "Cassie, I don't wanna be part of this game..." he didn't sound all too convincing, but he really didn't want her to kiss him just because Jack was watching, and he couldn't convince himself that wasn't what was going on.

“What?” Cassie looked a little hurt. “You don’t like me?” She pouted slightly and bit her lip.
“Please?”

"Cassie, don't make me...." he found his eyes suddenly captured by her lips. "Don't make me......." he trailed off again, staring at her. Jack was almost forgotten by that point, the one thing he was clinging to to keep this from happening. The only reason it was wrong.

“We broke up, Xander.” Cass reminded him gently. She licked her lips, knowing he was watching.
“Don’t make me ask again…” She pleaded, her bottom lip quivering slightly.

Xander touched her cheek, his hand shaking slightly. Then, without a glance up at the window Jack was watching from, he kissed her.

Cass grinned to herself. <This’ll teach him.> Her thoughts of revenge were soon lost, Xander was d*mn good at this.
Jack watched helplessly from the window. He couldn’t really blame Xander, Cassie could sell ice to an Eskimo. But it was more than a little messed up that Xander was kissing her when he knew damn well Jack was watching.
And, d*mn it, Cass knew exactly what she was doing. Jack had never been more jealous in his life. Now she’d probably go off and ‘date’ Xander for a week or so just to make Jack suffer. He glanced at his watch, wondering how long they could keep this up.

After a few minutes, Xander pulled away, spinning and rushing to the front door, unlocking it and throwing it open without another word to Cassie

Jack walked in and closed the door behind him, shaking his head at Xander.
“Totally f**ked up, man.” He brushed past Xander and headed towards the kitchen, where Cass was still standing, looking at him doubtfully.
“She was just a hook up, a rebound chick; you know that no one can replace you.” This brought a smile to Cassie’s face and just like that Jack was back in her good graces but just like he predicted, she wasn’t quite done making him pay. When he tried to kiss her she moved away, smiling cynically.
“It’s not like I care, Jack. You’re a free man now, do whoever you want.”

Xander sat down in a heap right inside the door. "Yeah, and you're f**k**g welcome for letting you inside, too." he snapped quietly, not sure if Jack could even hear him.

“Whatever, Cass.” Jack muttered, helping himself to the contents of the fridge as she moved into the living room.
Cassie stood against the wall for a minute, chewing her lip and watching Xander. He was a mess but after being cooped up in the house all week by himself he wasn’t as bad as he could have been. She knew from experience how much bad trips sucked.
“Xander?” She asked quietly after retrieving a glass of water and two aspirin from the kitchen. She knelt next to him, holding out the pills. “Say something…”
