"Hey Grant." Jake says. "Hey, I have a question and I want you to be completely honest with me." Grant says. "Sure, what's up?" "Is Lexy cheating on me...with Junior specifically?" asks Grant. He's timid and his whole body and shaking and he's sweating.

"Yeah, she is. I told her to tell, but I guess she hasn't so you deserve to know." Jake says. Instead of feeling sad Grant feels..angry. It's weird because he's never been mad at Lexy before, not once. But he feels like he's going to explode. He storms to Ms. Fairchild's class because the gang is close with her and they spend lunch with here twice a week.

Devon, Junior, and Lexy are in there talking to Ms. Fairchild and Jake takes a shortcut to the class to warn Lexy and Junior.

"Lexy." Jake says. "Yeah?" "Sorry." Just as Lexy is about to say what Grant comes in behind him. "Hey babe, what's going on?" Lexy asks him.

"What's going on? That's all you have to fucking say?!" Grant yells. "Grant, calm down." Ms. Fairchild  says.

"Shut the fuck up! And you, you've been cheating on me with Junior?! What the hell, I thought I was the only one, I mean you told me that last night!" Grant yells. "Grant, I'm sorry." Lexy says through her tears. "You're crying? You're crying?! You have no reason to fucking be, I should!" Grant yells at her which makes Lexy cry more. "Oh yeah! Okay, just go ahead cry those shitty Oscar winning tears!" Grant storms out and ends up leaving the school.

"Lexy..." Jake whispers "No! I don't a damn lecture from you too!" Lexy screams. "I told you, I told you he would find out! I told you this would happen! But you didn't wanna listen, Lexy. You never do!" Jake says. "I know! It's my fault, I know that. I just thought.. he wouldn't be that mad. He's never angry at me!" She screams through her tears.

Back at Grant's house where he is. He starts to get drunk, drinking his dad's fancy wines and smoking James' 'hidden' weed until Charlotte and him comes home.

"Grant? The school called! They said you left!" Charlotte yells and sees Grant stumbling down the stairs. "Hey mommy." Grant hugs her then his dad. "Grant, you reek of booze and weed, have you been drinking?" James asks. "Go see for yourself." Grant says nodding towards the living room and they see the weed and wine. Grant then plops on the couch and rubs his red eyes.

"Baby, what's going on?" Charlotte asks sitting beside him. "Lexy's been cheating on me for two months. I saw them kiss, but I forced myself to think it was okay. I'm stupid." Grant bursts into tears while talking and Charlotte hugs him. "Hun, you have to break up with her." Charlotte whispers in his ear. "I can't, I love her too much." Grant whispers back. "If she treated you like that, she's not the one." James says. "Okay."

Grant breaks it off with Lexy and she quickly makes her relationship with Junior public.
