"But Lewis! Where am I supposed to go?" Fusion asked him. "Stay with Will or something. I need space." Dawko crossed his arms. "Lewis, why are you taking this out on Brandon? He didn't do anything." Will asked him. "Please leave." Dawko said, frowning as well now. Fusion sighed. "Whatever. Let's just go." Fusion said, turning away from Dawko. Will shrugged and headed towards the door with Fusion following behind him. Fusion then realized something. "Wait a sec." He said to Will, turning around and facing Dawko. "I'll be in my car." Will said, opening the door and leaving.

"What is it Brandon?" Dawko asked in an irritated tone. "I—" Fusion hesitated for a moment, trying to gather his words. "I still have my stuff in your room. Can I go and get them?" Dawko shook his head. "No. Not now." Without saying another word Fusion turned around and headed towards the door. He knew there was nothing he could say to try to let him stay. "I'm sorry." Dawko said. "I just need alone time. I hope you can understand." Dawko said in a more genuine tone. "You just want to be alone with Jessica." Fusion mumbled under his breath. "Excuse me?" Dawko said, hearing fully what Fusion said.

"You just want to be alone with Jessica! And you're gonna let her convince you that Will and I are bad friends! She's gonna take you away from me and I'll never see you again! She's going to make you hate me, I don't understand what I did wrong!" Fusion said, letting all of his thoughts out. Before Dawko had a chance to respond Fusion left and closed the door behind him.

Dawko wasted no time in storming off to his room and shutting the door. He grabbed his phone off of his desk and began to text Jessica.

"Do not come over."
"There is nothing to talk about."

He turned his phone off and put it back on his desk. He looked over and saw some of Fusions stuff on the ground. He recognized one of the stuff as being a bag from the time Fusion and Jessica went shopping. He felt stupid for trying to get Fusion and Jessica to get along. He didn't want to think about what would happen next. He sat down on his bed, hoping that Jessica would get the idea that she shouldn't come over. He realized that he never got to eat his caramelized onion sausages. They would go bad soon.

Dawko now sat in the kitchen, crying silently as he shoved caramelized onion sausages into his mouth. He had to eat them, it would be a shame to waste them. Suddenly he heard a knock at the door. Dawko groaned. "I thought I told you not to come over Jessica." He said, loud enough for her to hear. The knocking persisted so he stood up, wiping any food off of his mouth. He walked over to the door and opened it. "What do you want Jessica?" He said.

A man wearing a uniform and hat, frowned. "Here's your package." He said, handing it to Dawko and walking away. Dawko looked outside and saw an Amazon delivery truck outside. He also saw Jessica's car driving towards his house. He quickly shut the door with one hand and held the package in his other hand. Dawko sat down on the couch, knowing he would have to tell Jessica to leave in person. He carefully opened the package, he didn't like tearing boxes. Inside was another box, so he carefully opened that one, too. Inside was yet another box. But this box was what he had ordered. This box was meant to hold rings. He remembered this being the box he planned to put the engagement ring inside. The whole reason he was waiting to propose to Jessica.

He heard a car door slam outside. He put the ring box back in the box. 'Would Jessica have cheated if I asked for two-day shipping?' He thought. He realized he could have prevented this and he could have saved his relationship if he just chose the two day shipping option. "Curse you Amazon two day shipping!" He said, throwing the Amazon box to the side. He heard a voice from outside. "Lewis let me inside please." Dawko shook his head. "No way. I told you not to come here!"

"I want to talk about this, you need to hear me out. Would you really believe your friends over me?" Jessica said. Dawko was worried about his neighbors hearing this. He remembered what Fusion said to him before he left. "Leave now, Jessica." He said, exhaling loudly. He saw the door knob move. She was trying to open the door. He realized that he had given her an extra key to his apartment. "Jessica do not come in here! Leave me alone!" He yelled out. The door suddenly opened. Obviously, it was Jessica. She looked like she had been crying on the way here. "Get out now. I don't want to talk." Dawko said, sounding more sad than angry. "Lewis, I'll leave as soon as you look hear me out." She told him. Dawko sighed. As much as he wanted Jessica to leave. A part of him wanted her to stay, and a part of him wanted them to still be together. "Fine." Dawko said, crossing his arms.

"Lewis, I'm sorry for cheating on you. It was a mistake..I only did it because.." Jessica looked away from Dawko. "I was jealous..and I wanted to make you jealous..I know that doesn't excuse my actions. I know you don't have to forgive me." Jessica looked back at him and walked closer to him. "I felt like..you and Brandon..we're becoming too close..I'm sorry that I felt jealous. I just wanted to make you jealous. I know what I did was wrong."

"Jessica..I—"

"You don't have to say yes..but.." Jessica said, reaching into her pocket and taking out a box. She got down on one knee and opened the box. "Will you marry me, Lewis?"
