"And you can take the heat,
Will your heart grow cold,
They say acting's just pretending,
But even that gets old."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey," Ashley greeted, walking into the room. "Oh sorry," she lowered her voice, noticing that Kate was asleep, her head resting on Carrie's shoulder.
"No, it's fine," Kelly laughed. "She's out cold."
"That girl seriously needs to learn how to handle her alcohol," Ashley shook her head.
"So, where've you been?" Carrie asked curiously.
"Hanging out with Jill in my room."
Carrie and Kelly looked at each other nervously.
"What?" Ashley asked.
"She didn't tell you?" Kelly questioned.
"Tell me what?"
"She kinda walked in on Carrie and I on the train."
"What?" Ashley's eyes grew wide. "Are you serious? Doing what?"
"We're not sure."
"What do you mean you're not sure? How can you not know what you were doing?"
"No, we know what we were doing," Carrie replied surely. "We're just not sure if she knows what we were doing."
"Huh?"
"Well, the position we were in--"
"I got it," Ashley cut her off. "What does Kate think? She knows Jill better than any of us."
"We figured it was better to wait till we sobered her up a bit more," Kelly replied. "You didn't find Jill was acting a bit funny?"
"No, not really," she shook her head.
There was a knock on the door, and Kelly stood, "That's room service." She walked to the door, opening it, accepting the food with a smile as she tipped the server.
"Kate," Carrie shook her gently. She patted her cheek lightly, "Come on, girlie...food's here."
Kate grumbled as she sat up straight, stretching, "What?"
"Your food's here," Kelly explained, setting the tray carefully on her lap. "You're still hungry?"
"Starved," she nodded.
"That's what happens when you throw up everything you've eaten in the past few days on the grouchy couple on the wine tour," Ashley teased.
"You seriously threw up on them?" Kelly raised an eyebrow.
"I wish I could say I meant to, but it was totally involuntary," Kate admitted.
"That's still awesome," she laughed.
"So...Kelly and Carrie have a problem," Ashley commented.
"Like what?" Kate asked as she began to eat her salad cautiously.
"Like Jill kinda walked in on us," Kelly explained.
"Doing what?"
"Having sex on the train."
Kate sighed.
"You don't seem surprised," Ashley noted.
"Well, after having to listen to the two of them this morning, it doesn't really surprise me that somebody saw. Y'all don't really think these things out, huh?"
"It's more of a reaction than a thought out process," Carrie admitted.
Kate shook her head, unable to hide her laugh.
"The thing is...Jill hasn't said anything," Kelly commented. "How do we take that?"
"You should talk to her."
"Tell her the truth?"
Kate frowned, "If that's what you want...then yes. But I'd say, talk to her first. Make sure she saw what you think she saw because if she did, then it's not like she doesn't know you're together, but if not...you need to decide if you want to keep lying to her or tell her the truth and deal with how she reacts."
"How do you think she'll react?"
"I have no clue."
There was a knock on the door, and Ashley stood to answer it. She looked through the peep hole to find Jill standing there. "Looks like we're about to find out."
+++++++++
"So tired that I couldn't even sleep,
So many secrets I couldn't keep,
I promised myself I wouldn't weep,
One more promise I couldn't keep."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey," Jill smiled at Kate as she walked into the room. "Feeling better?"
"Totally, check this out...I'm eating food, and it's not coming back up," Kate grinned.
"Awesome," she nodded.
"Jill..." Kelly began. "About what happened on the train..."
"You want to talk about this in front of them?" she motioned to Kate and Ashley.
"I just wanted to explain--"
Jill waved her off, "No need to explain. Both of you had a fair amount to drink. So what if you made out, right? Trust me, I went to plenty of college parties...I've seen it all."
Kelly looked at Carrie. They could easily take that excuse and run with it...but she hated the thought of lying to her. Carrie nodded. "Um, well, actually...that's not what happened."
"No?"
"No," she shook her head. "You see, neither of us were really that drunk, and we weren't exactly making out."
"Then what were you doing?"
Kelly opened her mouth, but nothing came out as she struggled to find the words.
Carrie felt Kate take her hand reassuringly, giving it a light squeeze, "We were having sex."
"You were what?" Jill asked, looking at the two idols, confused. "But she just said you weren't drunk."
"We weren't," Carrie replied. "We're actually dating...Kelly and I. We've been together for a while now, and we just made it official a couple weeks ago...we thought you should know."
Jill shook her head, standing.
"Jill..." Kate said cautiously.
"But you can't be dating. That would---that would make you gay, and you're not gay. Kelly, I know you," Jill turned to her. "You're not gay. That's...that's sick. You're not like that."
Kelly's head fell. She could feel her eyes stinging with tears.
"Hey," both Ashley and Carrie protested.
"Ashley, come on," Jill argued. "You can't be serious. This has got to be some joke, right?"
"It's not a joke," Ashley replied.
"Jill, please," Carrie urged. "Try and understand."
"Understand?" she looked at her incredibly. "Understand that you, a girl, is screwing one of my best friends? How am I supposed to understand that?"
Carrie turned to Kelly who had turned a sickening white, "Baby?"
"Don't call her that," Jill demanded. "She's not your baby."
Kelly shook her head, moving to rush out of the bedroom.
Jill caught her, stopping her, "Kelly...please...please tell me this is some sick, twisted joke. Please?"
Kelly let out a choked back sob, pushing away from her as she hurried into the bathroom, closing the door.
"Jill, I think you need to go," Ashley said carefully.
Jill nodded, "You're right. I want the first flight out of here."
Ashley nodded, escorting her out of the room.
"I'm so sorry," Kate apologized to Carrie. "I...I'm sorry."
"It's ok," Carrie replied shakily as Ashley walked back into the bedroom. "How's Kelly?"
"From the sound of it, she's reenacting Kate's stomach's display of pyrotechnics from earlier."
Carrie's heart sank, "I'll go help her."
She climbed off the bed, Ashley taking her place beside Kate as she walked to the bathroom. She knocked twice before letting herself in, closing the door behind her. She found Kelly kneeling on the floor, hunched over the toilet.
"Baby..." she frowned, kneeling beside her, rubbing her back. She held her hair back for her at the sound of her getting sick again. "Alcohol and heart ache aren't a very good mixture, huh?"
Kelly sniffed, wiping the tears away as she sat up, only to have new tears fall, her chest rising and falling quickly as she struggled for air.
"Let's see what we can do for you," Carrie said, standing. She found a wash cloth, dampening it with cold water. She sat back down with the Texan, wiping her tear stained cheeks with the cool towel before placing it on the back of her neck, hoping to calm her down. "Shh..." she soothed. "You're just gonna make yourself sick again."
"Did you--did you hear her?" Kelly managed, her voice cracking.
"I heard her," Carrie nodded.
"How could she...she doesn't even know...you're great..."
"It's ok," Carrie reached forward, wiping her eyes for her. "Kate warned us that it would be like this. It's nothing personal, sweetie, you have to remember that. It's just how she feels."
"It's how she feels about us," she cried. "She's my friend...how could she say that?"
"I don't know," Carrie replied, allowing her to fold into her as she wrapped her arms around her tightly.
++++++++++
Carrie gave Kate and Ashley a weak smile as she ushered Kelly into the bedroom.
"You ok, KC?" Kate asked worriedly.
She nodded, climbing onto the bed with Carrie.
Carrie sat beside Kate, opening her arms to allow Kelly to curl up on her lap.
"Do y'all want us to go?"
Carrie shook her head as Kelly closed her eyes, burying her face in her neck. Carrie rubbed her back comfortingly, replying softly, "She wants y'all to stay. I think she needs a reminder that she still has friends that support her."
Kate nodded as Ashley turned on the t.v.
"Let's see if we can find a good, light-hearted movie on, shall we?" Ashley asked, flipping through the channels.
"Where'd she go?" Kelly asked softly, her voice hoarse from tears.
Kate frowned as she stared at the television before them, unable to look at her, "She, um...she left."
"She left?"
"The driver brought her to the airport. She's going back to Tennessee."
Kelly let out a slight whimper as she buried her face further in Carrie's neck.
Carrie held her closely, her eyes closing tightly as she felt her girlfriend's tears against her skin.
