This is what you've all been waiting for...

Zach's POV (first and last time this will ever happen)

As I finished cleaning up the whole wrapping paper mess and getting the snacks, I made my way upstairs, carrying Max with my free hand to the TV room where the door was open only a crack.

"-plane ticket to Ottawa for tomorrow or the next day, just get your things ready whenever I email you the tickets so that you can print them out and leave right then." I heard Sage say, probably on the phone.

Who is she talking to? And why is she booking someone a plane ticket to here?

A short silence was happening while the other person was talking, and I was about to walk in, but suddenly I hear her speak again. Words that I hoped to never hear come from her mouth to someone other than me. "-see you soon, I love you too Brandon"

I love you?! Who's Brandon?! And why is she seeing him soon? Is she cheating on me? No... I refuse to believe it... it's not possible.

Of course I had my doubts, I shouldn't just jump to conclusions like that... but this is different.

Makes sense why she would want to cheat on you. A voice in my head said. I mean, of course she doesn't really love you... who could? Nobody likes you, much less loves you... you're worthless, and not good enough for her. I didn't like listening to the voices in my head, but for some reason, it just seemed to fit together so well, why else would she be telling some other guy that she loved him? And why else would she be seeing him soon?

Sage's POV

Zach walks inside the room, looking flustered and slightly ticked off.

"Are you okay Zach?" I ask, worried that something happened in-between the time we were in the living room and now.

"Yeah, I'm completely fine. One-hundred percent." He avoided my eyes.

"Alright..." I reply, still uneasy. "So, someone called." I continued.

"I know." his teeth clenched as the words came out of my mouth.

"And you heard?" I attempted to reach out and touch his arm when he quickly whipped it away from me.

"I heard a couple things." he crossed his arms and continued to look away.

"Well, are you okay with him moving in?" I asked anxiously.

"What do you mean? Who's moving in?" He questioned, turning back to me.

"You didn't hear the whole conversation?" He shook his head. "My friend Brandon just went through a really bad breakup and he has nowhere to go." I bit my lip and looked at him with a hopeful stare.

"I mean- I don't know... what if- I just don't know if-" he stuttered.

"Please baby? It'll only be a few weeks, a couple of months, at most. Just until he can find an apartment of his own. I can make up the guest room myself, please?" I pleaded.

He sighed deeply. "I-I guess it's okay, but only for a short bit, right?"

"Wait? Really?" I exclaimed. "Yeah- yeah it's only for a little while, oh my god! I need to call him! You can start the movie without me, I'll only be like 5 minutes." I started to get up from the couch. I kissed him quickly on the cheek in thanks. "Love you!"

As I opened the double doors to the hallway, I started to dial his number. "Brandon? Guess who should start packing?" I smiled again.

"Wait, he said yes?" He replied excitedly.

"Well, it took some persuading, but yep! He's totally on board!" I squealed.

"Well- I mean- are you sure? I would hate to feel like I would be intruding! But- this is great! It'll be just like the old days! Actually, the old days, plus one. What's he like? Is he funny? Serious? Boring? Holy shit I hope he's not boring-" Brandon rambled on, he had a habit of it when he got exited or nervous.

"Calm down," I chuckled, cutting him off. "he's just like any normal human being, you'll love him, promise." I logged onto my computer to buy some plane tickets for tomorrow.

"I can't believe you're doing this for me, I was so worried about what would happen- but you're always here for me." he said, as I found a ticket from his location to Ottowa, it was fairly priced, so I automatically bought it and emailed them to him.

"Aww... stop it, you're getting too sappy..." I smiled inside. "Alright, listen. I got the tickets, and I already sent them, and the plane leaves at 11 P.M at night your time."

"11 P.M? Shit! I should start packing! I'll talk to you later when I board, thanks again!" He responded, hanging up the phone.

As I logged off the computer and turned off my phone, I walked into the other room to see that the movie was already playing, and Zach was sitting on the couch, looking as cuddly as ever. I joined him and snuggled into his chest. "So he's coming in the morning, do you wanna come with to the airport to pick him up?" I asked, looking up.

"Sure." He responded with a blank expression, not looking away from the screen.

I brushed it off, he was probably just in one of his moods today, no big deal, he'll get over it.
