After dinner, Alex wanted to do something where hopefully no drama happens because she really wants one happy family and no one is making that easy. She decides a movie or T.V. show they can binge would work.

Some magical way, she convinces the guys to watch Gilmore Girls, so she taps on Abby's door.

“Wanna watch Gilmore Girls-” She asked, waiting. There was a ruffle of bed sheets, before the door cracked open.

“Sure.” Abby responded quietly, closing the door behind her. Let Alex have this. She thought to herself. She had the corresponding feeling of dreadful guilt fill her, making an anxious bubble grow in the pit of her stomach.

“Popcorn? Coffee? Candy?” She asked, pointing to the kitchen. The guys seeming to having a swell time in the living room by themselves. “Can you keep it down?” She yelled at the guys.

“Coffee, please.” Abby stated

“Done-” She said, handing her a premade cup of coffee. Abby accepted the mug, carefully wrapping her hands around the hot, tall travel mug. She smiled into the mug, taking a sip before walking over to the weird living space placed in the corner. A couch that Alex had bought was pushed in an awkward angle, a loveseat positioned toward the TV that had been placed on a whole bunch of boxes. It looked like Alex planned for Abby to come out, by the eager look she had on her face.

“Alright everyone shut up. Where should we start-” Alex asked the three other females.

“I’ll take the floor!” Ameila shouted, diving down in front of the TV with a collection of blankets and pillows.

“I can sit on boxes-” Alex said.

“You’re not going to sit on boxes-” Abby argued.

“Then where else would I sit, your taking the goddamn loveseat because you need a soft place where you can have blankets and pillows-”

“On the other bountiful amounts of furniture that we have-”

“So the boxes-” Abby gave up with trying to reason with her.

“What episode of Gilmore Girls should we start with-” She asked. Abby grinned when the Netflix title screen came up.

“Who’s account are we using anyways,” Abby asked, stealing some of Amelia's blankets before collapsing on to the loveseat.

“Mine,” Alex replied. “I’ve seen all of it so we can start from wherever.”

“Just hurry up-” Lucas said impatiently

“Oy with the poodle?” Abby suggested, holding her coffee mug to her lips while looking at Alex. She gave a nod of approval, before smashing some buttons into the remote.

“Oy with the poodle?” Lucas raised an eyebrow, very confusedly.

“Do not question Gilmore Girls episode names, ever.” Abby remarked, her eyes narrowing at him in the darkness.

“Don’t even bother asking.” Noah mumbled to him,

“But it’s Oy with the poodle-” He started, concern in his voice.

“Which is why you should know the place this holds in all Gilmore Girls fans’ hearts.”

“Just watch, you’ll love it.” Madison said, waving her hand as the video started to play.

“Shut up you hoes.” Abby snarled at Lucas and Noah, who both looked at her in surprise.

“Somebody’s on their-” Lucas started with a cheeky grin.

“I swear to god if you say period I’ll throw a brick at you-”

“Horse. I was going to say horse.”

“Because that makes sense-”

“SHUT UP,” Alex interrupted, glaring at all of them. Abby shrunk back into her seat, but kept quietly sipping her coffee. She glared at the mug when she saw it was empty.

“If you’re out on the road~" Abby started to sing along to the theme song with Alex, both of them ending up belting out the song in a duet fashion. Everybody looked at them with wide eyes or a hysterical grin, Noah looking like a retarded walrus when he laughed.

“What-” Alex muttered, glaring at Noah.

“That song will forever be my favorite thing on this planet.” Abby declared, leaning over to one side of the loveseat, her legs covering the other side.

“True-” Alex replied, her grin returning to her face. She looked back at the guys. The guys all looked at each other, besides Lucas who was still dazed by the fact Abby liked a white-girl show. Noah leaned all the way out on one side, his entire body taking up two couch cushions. The other two were adopted by Lucas and Evan.

“Exactly…” Abby muttered, spreading her hands over her head like a rainbow. “It’s magical~” Lucas cracked a grin at her, his eyes scanning over her face. Abby felt herself burn red, and averted her gaze.

“Jerk-”

“Bitch-”

“It’s not the end of the world if you don’t get to sit in the front and center.” Noah teased

“Oh hush-” Alex said, “This is the best part! Oy with the poodles already!” She chirped along with Rory and Lorelai.

“Damnit!” Abby cursed, staring at the TV with a glare. “Why do you do make me miss these things-”

“Ha, you didn’t pay attention-” Alex teased, her grin spreading.

“Excuse me for getting insulted.” Abby remarked sarcastically

“You could’ve sat on the floor!” Abby shot back, making Alex roll her eyes.He perched himself on the couch, leaning back into the dull grey material. The rest of the show was filled with awkward tension between Abby and Lucas, making the whole room feel claustrophobic to her.

“Another episode?” Abby quipped when the episode was over. Alex looked back to the guys, Evan deep in sleep and slumping on Lucas’s left shoulder. Noah leaned against his right shoulder, drool slipping out of his mouth and onto the dark red material of Lucas’s shirt. He made a face, and looked utterly uncomfortable with the whole situation. Abby snickered lightly

“What’s so funny?” He asked furrowing his eyebrows. Abby's eyes darted to his for a moment, before looking back to the three on the couch.

“Romeo and Juliet decided to add another person to the mix.” Alex snickered from a box in front of the TV. Abby watched her eyes trace over Noah, before Alex looked down once again. Abby smirked from her seat on the couch, but didn’t say anything.

Although Abby had gotten pissed during dinner, she was too embarrassed to apologize. She wanted to, badly, but there was the lingering possibility that Alex would retaliate in a bitchy way. Abby frowned to herself in the darkness, Alex putting some old christmas movie in the dvd player.

“Uhm, Alex-”

“Yeah?"

“I, uh- I’m sorry. Y’know, for being a bag of dog shit to you.” Abby muttered. Alex's grin faltered, before she regained her usual look.

“It’s fine, really.” She responded, flashing a smile in Abby direction. The blonde girl returned a tight lipped grin, before sighing silently. At least she took it well, She thought, playing with her fingers awkwardly. A burning feeling filled her, a feeling of being watched. He must have dozed off… She thought. But the feeling remained. She turned her head toward the couch, where Kayvon was now trying to spoon Lucas. Lucas, however, had his eyes trained on Abby. He looked down when she made eye contact, making her face flush.

Madison stared at the both of them from the corner of her eye, but didn’t say a word. Abby knew how much she liked him, so she wouldn’t do anything to ruin Madison's chances. Madison hoped not. Her short blonde friend had the hots for Christopher, a guy she knew, back in Middle and High School, so she could only hope Abby still had those feelings for someone else

Noah's eyes shot open, and he observed the position he was in: practically sitting in Lucas’s lap.

“Dude, did you try to rape me while I was sleeping?” Noah asked loudly, making everybody look at him.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t contain my feelings anymore-” Lucas scoffed.

“You could’ve made a move on Evan, he has more womanly qualities than I do.”

“What makes you think I want a woman-”

“The fact that I found your stash of p-”

“OKAY THAT’S ENOUGH OF THAT."

“Wait, you have a stash of p-” Alex asked questioningly

“NO I DON’T STOP SAY-”

“But you do,” Noah pressed with a grin. “I saw it with m-”

“STOP PLEASE NOAH I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW WE’RE FRIENDS AT THIS POINT-”

“Well- Shit-” Alex said her grin returning to her face. “Next episode?” She asked Abby, who nodded vigorously at her.

“I am curious about your p-” Abby started.

“I DON’T HAVE ANY-”
