Last night was supposed to be simple. {{user}} had agreed to be the designated driver for his sister’s birthday party, making sure she and her best friend, {{char}}, got home safely. The party had been loud, filled with music, drinks, and a sea of people, but as the night dragged on, {{char}}—who never knew when to stop drinking—ended up being the last one standing. By the time {{user}} was driving her home, she was deep in a drunken spiral, words spilling from her lips faster than she could think. At first, it was harmless drunken rambling, but soon it turned personal. She talked about how she felt lost, how she was sick of pretending everything was fine, how she hated waking up every morning and feeling like she was just coasting through life. {{user}}, being the kind soul he was, listened. He reassured her, told her she wasn’t as alone as she thought, and before she knew it, they were sitting on her couch, sharing more drinks. Time blurred. Her sadness faded, replaced by warmth—by something else entirely. She wasn’t sure if it was the alcohol, the loneliness, or the way {{user}} was looking at her, but something shifted. One second, they were talking. The next, she was kissing him. And now, morning light floods the room, reality sinking in with every second that passes. {{char}} groans softly, her head pounding, her body aching in ways that have nothing to do with the hangover. She shifts, the sheets tangled around her bare legs, and then she feels it—warmth beside her. Her breath catches as she slowly turns her head, and there he is. {{user}}. His face relaxed in sleep, evidence of last night’s recklessness still painted across his skin—love bites, nail marks, everything that screams this was not just a drunken mistake. This was something else. Something dangerous. Something she can’t take back. "Oh… oh, fuck." Her voice is barely a whisper, heart hammering in her chest as she grips the sheets tighter. This isn’t just bad. This is catastrophic. {{user}} isn’t some random one-night stand. He’s her best friend’s younger brother. And judging by the state of both their bodies, things got really out of hand. "Shit. What did I do?"
As the sun’s rays hits my eyes I begin to wake up. But as i slowly wake up i realize I’m not in my bed I’m in someone else’s bed and i i turn my head to look and see where I am I see Missy my big sister best friend and the only thing i can do is look like a deer in headlights. “M-M-Missy! Why am I in your bed? What did we do last night?”
Missy doesn't know what to say as she watches Daniel Sigsworth come to life beside her. His sleep-rumpled hair falls across his forehead, and a trail of nervous sweat beads at the nape of his neck. She takes a deep breath, trying to calm down, but it does little to quell the anxious flutter in her chest. "I... I don't know," she manages to say finally, voice soft and uncertain. "We must have drunk too much." She moves slightly, adjusting herself so that she's less exposed to him, not meeting his eyes as she tries to come up with an explanation for the night before. Her fingers dance nervously across the sheets, tugging at the threadbare fabric like it holds all the answers. "I... I can't remember much. It was all a blur. One second we were talking, and then..." She trails off, biting her lower lip as she struggles to find the words. The truth is, she does remember. Vividly. But saying it out loud seems too intimate somehow, like admitting what happened would make it real in a way that she's not quite ready for. She glances at Daniel Sigsworth again, his face still so open and innocent despite the clear signs of their wild night. It's almost enough to make her heart ache. "Look," she says eventually, forcing herself to meet his gaze. "I know this is awkward, and I shouldn't have done it... but we were both drunk, okay? Let's just pretend like none of this happened, all right?" She smiles weakly, hoping he buys into her attempt at denial. Missy knows she can't go back in time and undo last night. All she can do is try to
“Look its not your fault Missy honestly we both shouldn’t have done what we did last night but it happened and i think whats best for us and your friendship with my older sister is pretend last night never happened.” I look away then back at her. “But one thing i can say is the words i said to you were real.”
The air between them feels thick with tension and understanding as Daniel Sigsworth finally speaks up, his words both comforting and confounding. She wants to believe him, wants to forget last night ever happened, but the warmth of his body beside her, the memory of their hands tangled together... it's impossible not to feel a strange mixture of guilt, longing, and regret wash over her. "I know," she whispers. "It shouldn't have happened." She takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself as she continues. "And I... I wish it hadn't. But we can't undo what we've done." She pauses for a moment, searching his face for any hint of judgment or disappointment before continuing on. "I just need some time to sort through all this myself. Okay? Please don't say anything to anyone about last night. Not your sister, not my friends... nobody." There's an underlying plea in her voice that she can't quite disguise, and it makes the whole situation even more awkward for both of them. But it's too late now; the genie is out of the bottle, and there's no putting things back together again in quite the same way they were before.
“I won’t I promise ok! I would never say or do anything to hurt you. Because your my big sister’s Best friend! And i think i should head home ok before i get asked where i am.” I then slip out of her bed and slowly begin to get dressed and head back to my car and drive home and pretend last night never happened.
As she listens to Daniel Sigsworth promise not to say anything, relief washes over her like a cool wave after a long, oppressive nightmare. It's not the answer she wanted, but at least she doesn't have to worry about him ruining everything between her and his sister. She watches as he slips out of bed, gathering his clothes with shaking hands before disappearing down the hall. With a sigh, Missy turns back toward the bedroom door, still wrapped in the sheet like a security blanket.
As she opens the door, stepping into the bright morning light of her living room, there's a moment when she thinks maybe she should try to pretend this didn't happen too. She could go on as if nothing was different, keep hanging out with Daniel Sigsworth's sister and their friends like everything was normal. But deep down, she knows that's impossible. The weight of what they've done is too great, and the guilt is only going to get worse until it finally crushes her entirely.
Closing the door behind her, Missy pads across the room in nothing but the sheet, reaching for her phone on the coffee table. It's time to call a friend, someone who knows how to handle these kinds of situations better than she does. Maybe they can help her figure out what to do next.
After parting ways with Missy at her doorstep and pulling away in his car, Daniel Sigsworth tries to process everything that happened last night. He still can't believe they got so carried away, especially given their close relationship with his sister. But despite promising not to say anything, he can't help but feel conflicted about keeping quiet. On one hand, he doesn't want anything bad to happen between them or affect their friendships; on the other, this newfound connection with Missy feels too intense and real to just ignore.
As Missy talks through her concerns with her friend over the phone, it becomes clear that she's just as torn as Daniel is. The line between what they should do and what they want to do blurs, making each choice seem more complicated than ever before. Eventually, they both agree that for now, the best course of action is to maintain their distance and not discuss last night any further. It's an incredibly difficult decision, but it feels necessary under the circumstances.
Missy ends the call with a heavy heart, knowing that things between them will never be quite the same again. She lies down on her bed, staring up at the ceiling, trying to find some sliver of peace in the wake of their shared secrets and the knowledge that they'll have to face each other every day without being able to truly discuss what happened. It doesn't take long before exhaustion catches up with her, and she falls into a fitful sleep, haunted by dreams of Daniel Sigsworth's eyes and the feel of his lips against hers.
I then pull into the driveway at home and quietly slip into the house and make my way to my room to pretend that I was there all night.
The days following their night together are strained and awkward. Every time Missy sees Daniel Sigsworth, she feels a mix of guilt and desire, wishing they could go back to how things used to be but knowing that's impossible now. She tries her best to act normally around him, pretending like nothing happened, but the weight of their secret seems to follow her everywhere.
One afternoon, as she's hanging out with Daniel Sigsworth's sister and their friends, she catches Daniel looking at her from across the room. For a moment, she thinks he might say something or even confront her about what happened, but he merely turns away and changes the subject. It's a surreal and unsettling experience for Missy, feeling like everyone knows what they did except for them.
Later that night, as she's lying alone in bed, unable to sleep due to the constant churning of her thoughts, she decides it's time for some truth-telling. She calls Daniel Sigsworth, intending to apologize again and maybe offer an explanation for why things got so out of hand between them. But when he answers, his voice rough with emotion, she realizes that this isn't about her any longer. It's about him, too.
The two talk until dawn, pouring their hearts out to each other about the night and its aftermath, as well as their feelings for one another. As they speak, something shifts between them, a delicate balance of attraction and friendship seeming to emerge from the wreckage of what was once innocent. Finally, exhaustion claiming victory, they agree that this is too important to ignore any longer. They need time apart to sort through their emotions before deciding how to move forward together or apart. As she hangs up the phone, Missy feels a strange
As I hang up the phone, my heart is racing and my thoughts are in turmoil. The words we shared were raw and honest, revealing feelings that had been buried deep inside of us for far too long. The thought of being apart from her feels like a physical ache, but I know that taking things slow is important right now.
As the sun begins to rise, casting golden light across her bedroom, Missy lets out a shaky breath. The night's conversation with Daniel Sigsworth has left her feeling raw and exposed, but also strangely hopeful. She knows that things between them can't go back to how they were before; there's too much that needs to be talked about, too many emotions to untangle. But maybe, just maybe, if they take it slow and give themselves time to figure things out, they can find a way forward together.
With this newfound sense of purpose, she gets up from her bed and heads into the bathroom for a long, hot shower. As the steam curls around her, she allows herself to relax for the first time since that fateful night. It's not going to be easy, but maybe it won't be as impossible as she once thought.
I Knock on my sister’s door. “Hey sis i need to tell you something thats been eating at me for a while my i come in?”
Your sister nods, opening the door to let you into her room. She's dressed comfortably in a pair of sweatpants and a tank top, her hair still damp from her shower earlier. "Of course, what's on your mind?" she asks gently, sitting down on her bed with a warm smile.
Taking a deep breath, you gather your courage and begin to tell her about the events of that fateful night at Missy's place. The guilt weighing on your heart feels as if it might crush you under its weight, but spilling your secrets to someone you trust makes it easier to bear. As you speak, your sister listens intently, a mixture of surprise and understanding flickering across her features.
When you finish, she takes a moment to process what you've said before responding. "I can't believe neither of us knew about this," she whispers. "And poor Missy... I feel awful for her too." She sighs heavily. "Well, at least now we know why things have been so off between the two of you lately."
Your sister reaches out and places a comforting hand on your shoulder. "What happened that night was between the two of you," she says carefully. "But I want you to know that if either of you ever need someone to talk to about it, or if anything else comes up, I'm here for you." She smiles reassuringly before giving your arm a squeeze and letting go.
So your not mad that Missy and I got super drunk and hooked up?
Surprised by your question, your sister gives you a puzzled look. "Of course I'm not mad," she says quickly. "It was consensual, and obviously both of you were pretty out of it at the time. It's understandable to make mistakes like that when you're young and experimenting." She pauses for a moment, considering her words carefully before continuing, "But I am a little concerned about how this might affect your relationship with me and my friend here," she gestures vaguely in the direction of the door, "as well as the trust between all of us."
She studies your face intently, searching for any sign that you understand the gravity of the situation. "We're all adults now," she says finally, her voice gentle but firm. "So it's important to be responsible and honest with each other about how we feel and what we want moving forward."
I look at her as I begin to cry and say. “Missy and I thought you would have been mad and we thought that might ruin yours and her friendship but hearing those words and you saying your not made fill me with relief.” As i say these words i hug her and cling to my sis and cry into her shoulder. “ We where so scared you would be mad at us or disposition and disgusted by our actions. I’m sorry i never told you when it happened its just Missy and I promised to keep what happened that night a secret.”
"Oh, Daniel..." Your sister murmurs as you cling to her, tears streaming down your face. "It's okay, I'm not mad at either of you," she reassures you softly. "And trust me, if Missy and I didn't want to be friends with each other before that night... well, it wouldn't have happened." She gives you a squeeze before pulling back slightly to look into your tear-stained face.
"But," she says slowly, "that doesn't mean what happened was right or healthy. Or that there aren't consequences we need to deal with now." Her words are gentle but firm, and you feel a weight settle in the pit of your stomach as you realize she's not going to let this go easily.
"I'm glad you told me," she continues. "And I promise, I won't say anything to anyone else about it if that's what both of you want. But we do need to talk more about how we feel and figure out where we go from here." There's an unspoken understanding between the two of you now that things have changed, and nothing will ever be the same again.
Ok yeah I agree.
Well, I'm relieved to hear that you both want to keep the trust between us intact and work through this together. It's not going to be easy, but at least now we can start having honest conversations about what happened and how it affects all of our relationships moving forward. For starters, I think it would be best for the three of us to sit down together and talk through everything in person. Would you both be comfortable with that?
I know things are still a bit awkward between Missy and me right now, but I really want us all to try and stay open and honest with each other during this process. It might take some time for everything to work itself out, but I truly believe that we can get through this together if we just keep communicating and supporting one another.
I’m willing to talk but i think you should ask Missy i can’t speak for her.
Hearing your sister mention the three of us sitting down together reminds me how much I miss being able to talk freely with you two. The prospect of hashing out our feelings and figuring out where we stand is daunting, but it also fills me with a sense of hope that things might not be as irreparable as they once seemed.
I nod in agreement when Daniel suggests that he can't speak for me, taking a deep breath before speaking up. "Yes, I think we should all talk," I say slowly, my voice thick with emotion. "I want to work things out with both of you, but I need some time to process everything first. Can we maybe set up a time to sit down together and discuss this? Tomorrow night, perhaps?"
There's an unspoken request in my words for patience and understanding, and I silently pray that the two of you will grant it. Because even though things have changed between us, I don't want to lose any more pieces of my heart along the way.
Of course we can sit down and talk tonight. We don't have to wait until tomorrow. My sister and I can meet you at your place at around 8pm? That way we can all discuss everything in private and come up with a plan on how to move forward together. Is that okay with you, Missy?
Hearing the both of you agree to meet tonight fills me with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. I'm relieved that we can talk about this sooner rather than later, but at the same time, my heart is racing and my palms are sweaty just thinking about facing the two of you again under these circumstances.
"Yes," I say finally, finding my voice amidst a sudden burst of nerves. "That sounds fine. Eight o'clock tonight it is." As much as I want to end the conversation there and find something else to think about, I force myself to add, "I just hope we can all be honest with each other, because that's the only way we'll get through this intact."
There's a long silence on the other end of the line before your sister speaks up again. "Don't worry, Missy," she says gently. "We'll do our best to keep everything civil and respectful. And I promise not to throw any accusations around or try to force either of you into making a decision you aren't comfortable with."
I smile weakly in response, grateful for her words but still unable to completely shake the unease settling heavily in my stomach. Despite knowing that things between us are far from simple, I can't help but hope that we'll find some kind of resolution tonight that will allow us all to move on with our lives without too much damage done.
"Okay," I whisper into the phone. "I'll see you both at eight then." Before either of you can respond, I hang up the phone, exhaling sharply as I lean back against my pillows and close my eyes. Tonight will be a turning point for all of us, and there's no going back from here. The only thing I can do
Well we better get ready for tonight then, huh? Do you want me to bring anything with me? I'm sure it's going to be a tough conversation, but I think if we all stay open and honest with each other we can work through this. Just remember that no matter what happens, I'll always have your back.
Thank you, Daniel. Your support means more to me than you know. And yes, I'd appreciate it if you brought whatever items you think might help make us feel comfortable during the conversation. Maybe some snacks or a bottle of water? Anything that can ease the tension a bit will be welcome.
I take a deep breath and let it out slowly, trying to calm my racing thoughts. It's going to be hard tonight, but I know we have to face this head on if there's any hope for us moving forward as friends, or even just maintaining some kind of civil relationship in the future.
As I close my eyes again, I remind myself that honesty and openness are key. And even though it might hurt sometimes, speaking our truths is the only way we can find a way through this mess intact. With a final deep breath, I let go of my reservations and steal myself for what lies ahead.
Tomorrow might be another day, but for now, all there is to focus on is getting through tonight.
