"I can't do this anymore! You're just... ugh!"

Jake rolls his eyes as he listens to Tara rant. As soon as he found out Colby's feeling, Jake made sure to call Tara as soon as possible — wanting to put a stop to all of this.

He didn't expect the girl to talk so much, though.

Tara has been ignoring every thing Jake has tried to say. He's tried and tried to get a few words in, but the small girl won't let it happen.

"I mean, I asked you to not go! You know what you did? You went anyways! You're just so disrespect-"

"I want to breakup." Jake rushes out, his frustration getting too much for him.

'Ah, finally! Some silence. Wait... where was I?' He thinks to himself.

"It's just not working out, and I think you agree with me." He explains further, his voice softer than it was before.

He hears the girl sigh, "Yeah... you're right. Plus, you have had eyes on someone else for awhile anyways — I tried my best to ignore it, but..." She trails off, her voice sounding softer.

Jake frowns in confusion, "I have?" He asks, his voice sounding just as confused as he looks.

"Uh, yeah! Everyone has noticed the way you look at Colby." She says, her voice holding amusement, "That's partly why I didn't want you to go on that trip." She adds.

Wanting to get his thoughts straight, Jake quickly makes sure they're in agreement for the breakup — he almost chuckles when she says, "Duh! Go get your boyfriend, Jakey!"

With a roll of his eyes, Jake hangs up the phone and sprints back up to the room.

"I-I didn't mean to! I-It just slipped out..."

Colby quickly sits up at the sound of Sam's worried voice. Scared something bad happened, the brunette hurriedly looks around the room.

He relaxes slightly when he sees Sam on the phone, obviously having a serious conversation. Colby watches Sam hang up the phone and sigh, running a hand through his hair.

"You okay?" Colby asks, his voice hoarse from sleep, and from crying earlier.

Sam snaps his eyes up to meet Colby's. His blue eyes aren't as happy as they usually are; instead they hold self loathing — something Colby has only seen in Sam's eyes a few times during their years of friendship.

"Colby..." Sam says as he gets up from his spot on the couch and starts to walk slowly to Colby's bed.

The blonde sits down next to his friend, "I've... I've done something awful, dude." He says, his eyes watery.

Colby sits up even further and puts a comforting hand on his friends shoulder, "You can tell me anything, Sam." He says quietly.

Sam stands quickly and runs another hand through his hair. He gives Colby a worried look, "I didn't... mean to, okay? I-I didn't mean to."

Colby gives Sam a look, telling him to just spit it out. He wasn't prepared for what the blonde had to say.

"I-I told Jake about your feeling for him."

Before Sam can say anything else, he's on the floor with a bruised eye. Colby is standing above him with an angry look, his fists clenched tightly at his side.

The brunette gets into Sam's face, "You had no right to do that!" He yells, his face red with anger.

"C-Colby..." Sam stutters, he lets the tears run down his bruised face.

Colby is about to yell again, but is interrupted.

Jake hurries to the room, wanting to talk to Colby as soon as possible. He lets a small smile graze his lips as he goes to open the door.

"-no right!"

The man frowns at the sound of Colby's angry voice, 'where's Sam and Corey?' He asks himself mentally.

When he steps into the room more, Jake's eyes widen at the sight of a crying Sam on the floor — his right eye bruised.

"Colby!" Jake yells, anger flooding him.

Jake watches as the brunette turns toward him.

"What did you do?" Jake yells out, rushing toward Sam's shaking body.

"I-I... I told him that I let it slip that he has feelings for you." Sam explains after Jake gives him a questioning look.

Jake snaps his eyes toward Colby, a look of disappointment in his eyes. The man quickly helps Sam up, but before he can confront the guilty looking brunette in front of him, a panting Corey comes through the door.

"There you guys are!" He says, a goofy smile on his face. The smile soon turns into a confused frown when he notices the tension.

The youngest of the group hands Corey a crying Sam, telling him to get him down to the lobby for some ice.

Once the other two friends are out of the room, Jake looks over at Colby with a look of anger.

"You shouldn't have done that." The multi-colored haired boy says, his voice soft.

Colby puts his head into his hands, "I-I know! I was just... so angry." He whimpers, guilt on his handsome face.

Jake sighs before leading Colby to the bed and bending down in front of his sitting form. He smiles at Colby, "There was no reason to get mad, I feel the same way," Jake says, a smile on his face.

"Wh-What?" Colby asks as he looks up at Jake, a look of pure shock on his face.

Jake chuckles, "I feel the same, stupid." He teases, a small blush on his cheeks.

Colby's eyes glaze over before he leans over and quickly attaches his lips to Jake's. The two men are shocked at how amazing their first real kiss is — and how their bodies feel as if they're on fire.

Before the kiss can get too heated, Jake pulls back. He places his forehead against Colby's, a content smile on his lips.

"Wow..." Colby whispers, his face red with a blush.

Jake chuckles, "wow, is right." He says back, giving Colby a goofy grin.
