The morning after Daria and Taylor got married, Jude woke up with Connor's arm around him. He smiled but then it turned to a frown. He remembered Alex. He jumped up waking Connor up.

"Oh my god" Jude said.

"What?" Connor asked.

"Alex is going to die" Jude said. "This is going to break his heart. Oh my god. What have I done?"

"it felt right" Connor said. "Didn't it?"

"Of course it did" Jude said. "But your married and this makes me feel so awful."

Connor walked to Jude and touched his cheek.

"Jude" Connor said. "I love you."

Jude smiles at Connor.

"I love you to" Jude replied.

The two kissed passionately. There was knocking at the door that made them jump.

"I know your in there guys" Jake shouted. "Open the damn door!"

Connor walked to the door and opened it to see Jake with judging eyes that landed on Jude.

"I'm going to go" Jude said.

"Yeah you should" Jake snapped. "Better yet you should go back to New York."

Jude stared clearly hurt by the comment but rushed out anyway.

"That was rude" Connor said.

Jake turned his gaze on Connor and crossed his arms at his best friend.

"Connor, what the hell are you thinking?" Jake snapped at Connor. "Your married! You can't be having a affair. You have to end it or I swear I'm going to tell Alex what your doing."

"I love Alex" Connor said. "But I love Jude too..."

"You want to ruin four years of marriage for your high school boyfriend?" Jake snapped. "Grow up, Connor. It's been six years!"

Connor stared at Jake.

"At least I'm not alone!" Connor snapped.

"You will be if Alex leaves you" Jake said. "Like Jeffrey left me. Are you sure you want Alex to go?"

Connor is left thinking.


Alex wakes up on the coach next to the empty vodka bottle. He gets up and throws it away. He opens the cabinet to find a drink but Connor enters.

"I'm home" Connor said.

Alex nodded and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Are you sure drinking early in the morning is such a good idea?" Connor asked.

"Where were you?" Alex asked. "I was so worried about you."

"Sorry" Connor said. "I stayed at Jake's.  I needed to think some things over."

Alex nodded clearly believing what Connor was saying.

"So Leo and Craig have invited us over for a get together tonight" Alex told Connor. "They said they have news."

Connor nodded. Alex walked to Connor and kissed him Connor barely kissed him.

"What's wrong?" Alex asked worried.

"Just feel tired" Connor lied. "Sorry."


At a coffee shop, Jude hangs out with Noah.

"Are you sure Connor even loves you?" Noah asked Jude. "He's married."

"The love is still there" Jude told Noah. "It's just on hold."
