"Jake?" Bree says on the other side of Jake's door. "I'm coming!" Jake yells and opens the door. "Hi." He says. "Hi, I wanted to talk to you. Just see how're you're doing, we haven't talked in forever." Bree says. "Yeah, I know." Jake says putting on shoes and a jacket. "Are you heading out?" Bree asks. "Yeah, going to Grant's." "Do you...wanna hang out when you come back?" Bree asks timidly. "Bree, no." Jake says as he closes his door and the two sit on his bed.

"Bree, I was going through something and upping my dosage and going through my stuff and sheltering me from Devon and my friends made me realize you're not a good person. You did what you thought was helping, but I told you, countless times it wasn't helping. So no, I don't wanna have a close relationship with you. If you don't mind, I gotta go." Jake says grabbing his phone and leaving. "Sorry." Bree whispers sadly, she gets up and brushes her clothes down and walks out the room.

J: hey dev! im going over to grants but i wanted to walk around the city shopping centre first, find him something, wanna come?
D: yea, where r u now
J: outside your house...i gotta talk to you
D: kk give me 30 secs

"Hey cutie!" Devon says kissing him and walking to the shopping centre. "Hey. Bree's trying to reconnect with me." Jake says. "Uhm, did you tell her hell no?" Devon asks and he for some reason sounds offended. "Yeah, but not exactly like that. I told her she kinda made it worse. I feel bad, her eyes saddened with every word I said. I feel like a burden a bit." Jake whispers the last sentence. "Hey. That mindset is why you were lying in bed non stop. You're not a burden." Devon reassures Jake and hugs him tightly. They get a few stares from others who are walking, but Devon doesn't care.

They walk inside Target and decide to make a basket. "Ok so, what shall we get?" Jake asks with a grin. "Shall? You sound stupid." Devon says with a straight face. "Seriously, what color? Dark Blue?" Jake asks. "What's his fave color?" "He doesn't have one? Oh! What about this sage green?" Jake says excitedly. Devon nods yes and he puts it in the car.

"Hey, you go to Perry High School?" Some random guy says. The guy is with a group of teens Jake's and Devon's age. Two more guys and 2 girls. "Yeah, how'd you know?" Jake asks. "There's only two high schools in the city, dumbass." Devon whispers with a chuckle and the group including Jake laughs. "I'm Phoebe. You're cute, what's your name?" Phoebe introduces herself and Jake slowly smiles, but tries to conceal it. "I'm Jake, but I'm dating someone." He says. "I should've known. You're fine as hell, so who's the lucky girl so I can fight for her spot?" Phoebe asks and she looks around. "Hey, I'm Jared, but who is she?" The first guy asks and everyone starts looking around for 'her'. "Guy, it's a lucky guy." Jake says. "Oh, you're gay? Let me guess it's him?" Jared asks. "Yes. You got a problem?"
Jake asks getting closer to the guy. "The bible says two men shouldn't lie together." Jared says accepting the challenge. "Says the same about women, but you and your girlfriend do." Jake says. "Wait. They're the Terror Trio. The kids who were in the news because their parents died, and said it was a killer doll. You're the one whose mom was a cop." Phoebe points at Devon. "And you! You killed your foster brother!" Phoebe yells again. "Let's go Jake." Devon says grabbing his boyfriend. "Fly away, you fairies!" Jared yells and the group laughs shouting homophobic stuff.

"That's fucked up. Who even remembers that? Who even still uses homophobic slurs?" Devon says. "A bunch of people, Dev." Jake says. "Let's just go to Grant's. We'll get him something next time."
