Jay was sitting on the couch, watching a new show he enjoyed called The Secret Circle. He started it a few nights ago, and he fell in love with it. He remembered giving the show a chance at an earlier time but never truly sat down to watch it again. He couldn't sleep two nights ago, and wound up giving it another try, and became instantly hooked. He marveled at the drama and aspects of the show, and he was glad he had given it another chance. He yawned, rubbing his eyes and trying to stay awake, but couldn't.

It had been three days since the incident at the restaurant in Malibu, and he hadn't had contact with anyone in Magcon since, aside from Jack, who was over alot because of Daniel. The singer had promised not to mention Jay to them at all, and for that he was forever grateful.

To say he was thoroughly embarassed was an understatement. Jay had never expected for his violent history to break out again, and he was pretty sure he scared everyone else, which is why he kept little to no contact with the rest of the guys. They had asked Jack about him, preferably Shawn, and Matt.

He decided it was best to stay away from them for a while, but he couldn't deny the fact that he missed their presence in his life. Daniel had hung out with Taylor a couple times, but Jay hid in his room, for fear of embarassment.

He thought it'd better to stay under the radar for a while, and to be quite honest, after starting The Secret Circle, he wasn't regretting it. He was already on the eleventh episode and he was on the edge of his seat.

"You're seriously gonna watch that all day?" Daniel said from behind, making Jay jump.

"You, and everyone else are gonna kill me one day by scaring the living shit out of me." Jay replied, "Leave my show out of it, it's amazing."

"I lost interest after you started binging the shit out of it." Daniel chuckled, "Are you sure you don't wanna come out with Jack and I tonight?"

"You're seriously asking me to third wheel?" he retorted, raising an eyebrow.

Daniel held up two hands in mock-defense, "I get it, I get it. I just hate seeing you so lonely here. It's been three days, I'm pretty sure everyone is over it."

Jay sighed, and got up from the sofa. He walked towards the kitchen, and grabbed a cup. "I understand that, but what I did was just.. unnacceptable."

"And fucking awesome!" Daniel responded, following Jay into the kitchen, "What made you so angry in the first place?"

Jay shut the fridge, and poured the gallon of milk he had gotten into the cup. "I just wasn't in the mood. Cameron pissed me off in the Fun House thing."

"How?"

"He apologized, which was great and all, but.. when I asked what I did wrong, he wouldn't respond. He kept saying he can't tell me. How are you gonna get angry for something I don't even know know I did?" Jay replied.

"So the guy at the restaurant was just the tip of the iceberg, huh?" Daniel said, "Have you spoken to Shawn?"

"No.. I haven't." Jay said, pinching the bridge of his nose, "He must hate me so much."

"On the contrary, he's severely worried about you. He cried, for like an entire hour."

"How do you know?"

"Jack and I were just coming back from the store when we saw him sitting in the café across the street. We walked over to say hi, and he just looked so upset. He said he hadn't slept." Daniel replied.
