"Hey, babe," John, her poetic, musical boyfriend said as Kim opened the door. His curls were tousled and he looked so gorgeous. He leaned in for a kiss and she was happy to oblige.

"So how was your gig?" she asked. He and his band, Stone Cold, had played at some hipster teen's party.

"Eh." He gestured with his hand to indicate 'so-so' as he opened the fridge. "Got anything to eat?"

"In the cabinet," she said, a little annoyed that he kept rifling through the fridge instead of talking to her. But that was John. Passionate John, who obsessed so much over his music sometimes that he forgot the outside world existed. She had to remind him sometimes. "I went to the animal shelter today."

John looked up. "Oh, yeah? With your boyfriend, What's-His-Face, Tim?"

"Todd." Kim rolled her eyes. "And he's not my boyfriend." John said that all the time.

John grinned. "I'm just razzing you."

Kim rolled her eyes again. She wasn't laughing.

John set down his phone and left. Right after, her phone rang. She absentmindedly reached for it.

The phone in her hand wasn't hers. It was John's. She was about to put it down, until she saw the open text message. "U + me 2nite. Ur place or mine?" Funny. She certainly didn't recall sending that to him. Against her better judgment, she looked through his text messages. Steamy message after steamy message, each one worse than the last.

Her blood boiled – until she looked at the girl's name. She knew that name. "Oh no," she gasped. Someone else was about to get very hurt – someone she cared about very much.
Second installment.

John's a peach, ain't he?
