Summary:

In the middle of the twin's party for Josh, a surprise can maybe ruin the moment.

"You know, you guys don't have to do this." Josh says, looking at Beth, who had just came out of the kitchen with a bowl full of popcorn.

"Don't be silly! You're actually getting better! Why wouldn't we celebrate?!" Beth answered, placing the bowl of popcorn on the living room table.

"After a lot of searching, I've finally found it!" Hannah said, entering the living room with the CD she and Beth were looking for ages.

"Alriiiight! Now, let's get this party started!" Beth yelled, snatching the CD from her sister's hand and placing it on their Sony audio CD player.

Josh chuckled. He thought this idea of a party was kind of ridiculous but, his sisters insisted on doing it. They even threatened him that they will post "the shower incident" on Youtube. Obviously, you don't want millions of people watching you sing terribly on the shower, to a song that was singing on the radio. Josh remembered like it was yesterday it happened. Once he found out he was caught, he tried snatching Beth's phone but ended up slipping on the shower and landing on his face. Beth and Hannah wouldn't stop laughing. So, he let them do their little celebration.

Finally, Beth had put on the music. Once the music was heard, the twins had started silly dancing with each other. They danced like nobody was there. Josh chuckled. They look like two twelve year olds jamming to their favorite music. Beth had started doing the egyptian dance move, which made her siblings laugh. Beth loved to make her siblings laugh and smile. She was happy she made Josh laugh. It's been so long since she heard his laughter. Suddenly, the door bell rang.

"I'll go get it." Beth said, hurrying off to the door.

Who could be at the door? Must be Chris. He had told her that he may come to join the party, if he has the chance. Or maybe it was the pizza man. Can't be a party if there's no pizza! Beth snatched her wallet, in case. She finally made it to the door. She opened the door with a smile but it quickly faded, finding out who was outside the door.

"What the Hell are you guys doing here?" Beth said, coldly.

At the door, she found the five people she wanted ignore the most for the rest of her life. She found Mike, Jessica, Emily, Matt and Ashley at the door, including Chris, who was rubbing the back of his head.

"Chris..?" Beth asked him, wanting an answer on why these people were at her doorstep.

"I have no idea they were here, Beth, I swear! They were right here when I got here!" Chris explained.

"Beth, we just want to talk." Mike said.

"What makes you think I'm going to let you in? After what you did?!" Beth looked at Mike, anger boiling inside.

"Please, Beth. Just hear us out. Please?" Ashley begged.

There was a pregnant pause. What makes them think she was going to let them in? She can just leave them outside for all she cared and just let Chris in. But with the pleading eyes Ashley was giving her, she didn't know what to do.

"I'll be right back." Beth finally said before shutting the door.

It's been a minute until the door cracked open. Beth was seen and she looked pretty serious. Her and her siblings had agreed to listen to what they had to say. She let out a sigh before saying,

"Come on in."

The group all went up to the living room and found Josh standing in front of the TV, crossing his arms, his face showing that he wants to get this over with, and a shy Hannah sitting on a red leather sofa chair, not locking eyes with any of the five teenagers. The five teens sat on the couch, facing the Washington s. Chris was in the corner of the room, not wanting to get in on the drama that was about to come.

"You have 5 minutes.." Josh said.

"We're sorry-" Ashley started but was cut off by a scoff.

"You guys are sorry?! You think sorry is going to cut it?! Make everything back to normal!?" Beth scoffed, losing her cool.

"No, it won't. But Beth, it was just a bad prank-" Mike tried to explain but was cut off by Beth.

"Yeah! It was just a bad prank! A prank that let me and my sister almost die! A prank that let Sam-" Beth yelled but stopped at her last sentence, not wanting to remember.

"Can't you just try and understand our point of view? How should we know Hannah would run off outside when the prank was done?! Can't you understand we wouldn't do it in the first place if we knew what the consequences were?!" Emily yelled.

Beth huffed. But she had to admit, Emily was right. How would they know? How would SHE know? Beth took a glance to her siblings. Hannah was still not giving eye contact to the others and Josh kept his glare. She turned her head back at the others.

"We're sorry about the prank, Hannah. We're sorry for what we did to Hannah, Josh. We're sorry it almost took you and Hannah to your deaths, Beth." Ashley apologize to each Washington. The 4 others apologize, as well. Beth, Hannah and Josh all looked at each other. Should they forgive them? After all they did?

"We just want your forgiveness." Ashley said.

There was a pause until,

"I forgive you." Hannah ended up saying, finally locking eyes with everyone.

"Hannah-" Beth started but was cut off.

"Everyone deserves a second chance, right?" Hannah said, looking at her sister.

There was a pause. The silence was cut off by Beth, letting out a sigh in defeat.

"Alright. I'm giving you all a second chance. But you better not ruin it."

The twins looked at their brother, still stuck at the same position he had since the beginning of all this. He seemed unsure if he wanted to forgive them or not.

"I'm gonna have to think about it." Josh said, giving the five teens a last glare before walking up to his room.

They all ended up staying at the Washington household. It was like everything was back to normal. They were all laughing, drinking, gossiping and giggling. Well, not everyone. Beth did told them she forgave them. But, that didn't mean she was going to act like nothing ever happened. Hannah looked like everything that happened had never happened at all. Beth had a hard time understanding how Hannah could act like everything was fine now. They may be twin sisters, but that doesn't mean the other knows what the other is feeling. Not that stupid crap.

Beth had decided to go to her room since it was getting to be quite a bore. Once upstairs, she took a glance to her brother's room. The door was half-way open. It seemed like he was sleeping since the room was dark and she could hear soft snores from the inside of the room. She couldn't blame Josh for not forgiving the others that quickly. After all, the prank almost let her and Hannah fall for their death and it let Sam- She shook her head. No, not now. She slowly closed the door and went up to her room.

So much for celebrating Josh's getting-well celebration.
