Phil and Sav pulled apart from their kiss. They looked at each other and Phil had a small smile oh his face while Sav tried to figure out what just happened. Yes he was aware that he just kissed Phil but it didn't feel right in his head. he didn't even love Phil so why did he kissed him? Was it because Steve rejected him and he needed comfort? Sav was confused, he didn't even realize that Phil had pulled him closer to hug him.

"Sav? You listening to me" Asked Phil looking at Sav.

"Uh? What were you saying Phil?" Asked Sav to Phil without answering Phil's question.

"I was asking you if you liked the kiss and if that meant that we are together" Replied Phil. Steve couldn't believe  what he just heard, Phil and Sav together? That couldn't be happening. he got up from his seat and started walking in his room. He was waiting for Sav's answer. Steve stopped walking when he realized what he was doing. Why do I care so much about them? Am I jealous that Sav kissed another man? I don't even love him! Or maybe I do... Steve thought. A lot of questions ran through his mind and he couldn't answer one of them. What am I going to do? he asked himself. Sav didn't know what to answer to these question.

"Uh... I don't know if we are together Phil, but I enjoyed the kiss." Said Sav a little uncomfortable by the situation. Phil pulled away from Sav and looked at him with a weird look.

"You don't love me uh? You love him more than me?" Asked Phil with a furious voice. Sav was shocked by the tone Phil used to speak to him, he thought he would start to cry again  but the horrible scene was interrupted by Steve who opened the door of his room. He looked for Sav few seconds and when he saw him, a small smile grew in his face. Steve knelt  down in front off Sav completely ignoring Phil and looked at Sav in the eyes.

"Sav, I was completely wrong when I slammed the door earlier, I shouldn't have done that but I didn't know that I was in love with you . I didn't realize that for all these years..." Started Steve. Phil looked at Steve with an angry glance, he couldn't believe what Steve was doing. He was so close to be with Sav but Steve ruined it by telling Sav that he loved him. It all destroyed what Phil and Sav had, yes it wasn't big but they had a small flame and Steve blew it away! Phil wanted to scream at Steve, he wanted to tell him that it wasn't okay to do what he did but nothing came out of his mouth. When Steve knelt down beside Sav, Sav's heart was beating really fast. he didn't believe what Steve was saying to him. Sav looked at Steve with big eyes, he was waiting for Steve's answer. He then saw Phil's angry face and his eyes grew wider and he was surprised that Phil has this face. On the other side , Phil just kissed him and he confessed his love to Sav.

Sav was stuck in a love triangle, two of his band mates loved him and he loved one of them. What am I going to do? Thought Sav. I love Steve but I can't say no to  Phil  it will bring tension on the band. AS looked at both men and he said to himself that it was now or never to take a decision Steve or Phil even if it will bring tension in the band.

Guys... I'm really sorry I have to take this hard decision and break someone's heart." Started Sav. Phil already knew what would be Sav's answer, he would choose Steve. Steve, on his side, didn't know who Sav will choose, he hoped that he was the one.

"Oh Bloody Hell! I can't make a choice!" Screamed Sav getting up from the floor. Phil and Steve looked at him in shocked and Sav started to cry again. Phil didn't believe what he was about to do. Let Steve win Sav, but it was the best thing to do. it would make Sav happy and if Sav was happy Phil was happy too. Phil looked at Steve and mouthed to him to go comfort Sav and he was the one for him. Phil and Steve both got up at the same time, Phil walked away after smiling at Steve and Steve putted his hands on Sav's shoulders. Sav looked at him and Steve kissed him softly.
