Turners head hit the counter in front of him. His head was pounding from the amount of alcohol the two had drunk the night before.

"I'm never trying to keep up with you again." Becky grumbled as she made her way into the kitchen.

"You realize I was trying to keep up with Paige." He replied as she made her way into his arms the second he turned towards her. They had made it back to Becky's house at nearly four in the morning. The two drunks had basically carried Paige and Charlotte to the blondes bed before they passed out fully clothed in the redheads bed. "Sorry Irish." He said as his nose nuzzled into her hair.

Her head tilted before her lips met his. As his hand met her cheek her body began to mold with his. When the two heard someone clear their throat they pulled away.

"I don't care if you want to do that just don't do it right in front of the Advil." Charlotte commented before she grabbed the pill bottle.

"Paige up yet?" The blonde nodded reluctantly. "She bitchy?" Becky groaned when the blonde nodded again.

"I got this." Turner said before he grabbed pills for everyone. Once the three in the kitchen took them he moved to the couch where Paige looked miserable. "Let's never do that again." She agreed as she took the pills from his now outstretched hand.

"Bex can I cuddle with him?" She asked miserably.

"As long as I get a side." Becky replied before Turner was immediately pulled down next to the darker haired girl. His arm stayed on the back of the couch as Paige turned and curled into him. "Oh hell no." The Lass Kicker stated as Charlotte took the spot meant for her.

"Fine." The blonde huffed before she made a spot just big enough for her best friend. It took less than a second before Turners arm was wrapped around her. The four stayed quiet as they watched the movie unfold on the screen in front of them. It was only when Becky felt his head fall to her shoulder that she adjusted slightly.

Her hand slowly rest along his neck as her fingers played with the hair at the nape of his neck. She could feel him fall asleep just after his arm tightened along her body. As Paige poked his side she lightly laughed.

"Wow he really is asleep." She commented before Charlotte lightly tugged on his ear.

"Damn." Both girls commented in unison before Becky swatted both of their hands away.

"So how was that kiss last night?" The blonde turned her as red as her hair. "No.." Charlotte paused. "That was not.." Becky nodded. "Aww." Her mouth was covered by the Lass Kickers hand.

"One you're fucking loud. Two. It's none of your fucking business." The two girls rolled their eyes.

"Shut up. You would have told us eventually." Paige sassed back as she cuddled into Turners sleeping body.

"God don't add anymore weight." Paige ignored her before Charlotte felt Becky begin to sink into her. "Wake up idiot you're crushing me." She said into Turners ear. He grumbled before he sat back up. The side of his head hit the back of the couch and he was instantly asleep. Paige hit his side before his eyes opened.

"What?" He grumbled out as he sunk down his feet stretching to rest on the table. As all three girls followed they all cuddled into each other. "There better now?" Paige nodded as her head moved to rest along his shoulder her eyes closing. Becky's lips gently met his cheek before her head tucked into his neck. As his eyes closed once more the redhead turned to face Charlotte her head now resting along his shoulder. The second her fingers laced with his the blonde spoke.

"You sure you aren't rushing things?" Becky couldn't help but laugh.

"Not at all Char. I feel like I've known him my whole life. There's just something different and special about him." The blondes eyes scanned hers.

"I just don't want you to get hurt.." The redhead shook her head.

"Honestly Char if anything I think I would be the one to hurt him. He has shown nothing but trust with me since the day I met him." As the other woman thought for a moment Becky slowly cuddled into the man sleeping behind her.

"His story's something then isn't is?" Charlotte asked before the Lass Kicker nodded.

"More complex than mine is." The blonde knew exactly what she meant by those words. What had happened to Becky had happened to him.

"He was abused too?" The redhead was hesitant to nod. "I won't say anything Bex. You know that." As Turner moved to his side he slowly curled into Becky while Paige followed his every movement. "And you're alright with that?" Becky shrugged.

"I know he's not going to do anything. I'm not thrilled about it but I mean we both see who he's cuddled into." A confident smirk crossed her face before both girls quietly laughed.

"I mean he definitely has taken a liking to you." Becky's hand laced in his hair as he buried his face in her shoulder. "I really do love seeing you happy like this Bex."

"I do too." It was nearly two years ago that Becky lost her smile. She could throw one on for promo but couldn't be bothered to have one cross her face backstage. Charlotte was the first to notice but Becky always shrugged her off. In reality the redhead knew the second she faltered she wouldn't be able to stop her words and she knew how dangerous that was.

Even after her abuser was gone her smile never returned. She still chose to stay in rather than party with the other girls. It was then that she finally explained to Charlotte what had happened. Though the blonde had tried everything in her power to cheer the other woman up but nothing helped.

That was until she met Turner. Charlotte saw Becky change back into the carefree girl she met at the performance center.

Becky started smiling. Her promo got better and better each week. Three weeks seemed like years because for Charlotte it felt like it had taken much longer for Becky to return to normal.

"You never heard this from me but you two are adorable." She couldn't help but laugh at the blondes words.

"He would never let you live that down if he heard that." Becky joked. Turner and Charlotte had basically become siblings in the few weeks he had been over at the two girls house. It was when he spoke that the two started to laugh.

"Nope I won't."
