Adam's P.O.V:

I didn't know what happened. I just snapped. I think that hospital broke me. I put Mason to sleep in his room and I went back into the kitchen. I called Jin to stay the night because I felt it was too risky to stay home alone after what happened. When he walked in, Ross was behind him. "Uh, hey Jin. Hey Ross." "Oh hey Adam. Do you mind if I stay here? Tim got really mad because his girlfriend left him, and he asked if he could just have a night alone." Ross said, hope flickering in his eyes. "Yeah, sure." I responded. He headed up to one of the guest bedrooms as Jin stayed down here with me. "You said this was urgent. What's up?" "Jin... I messed up. Bad." "Adam.... what did you do?" He asked. I told him about how we argued to put Mason to bed, and what I said to Alania. "Adam, how could you say that? You know she's fragile!" "I know! I just snapped! I couldn't help myself! I just had to let out all the anger, and I couldn't help myself!" I started crying. He put an arm around my shoulder. "I-I'm going to bed." I said, heading to my room. When I woke up I heard Ross calling my name on the other side of the door. I looked at my phone to see it was 2:00 in the afternoon. "Adam! Are you ok?" "Yeah, I just slept in." I heard a sigh of relief from the other side of the door. I got dressed then walked downstairs. "Adam, I need to talk to you." Ross said, staring at me. "Ok dude. What do you want to talk about?" "In private." He said, nodding towards Jin. We headed up to my room and looked at me. "Can you keep a secret?" "Yeah dude. What do you want me to keep?" He sighed, looked away, and said, "I'm gay, and I like a dude." "Thanks for telling me Ross, and don't worry, I'll keep it a secret." "Y-you're not offended? Or you don't hate me because I'm gay?" "Don't worry Ross, you have my full support. Besides, I'm bi. Anyways, who's the guy you like?" I asked him, since he said earlier that he liked someone. A bright red blush appeared on his face. "It doesn't matter. He's got a girlfriend." "Ross, I just want to know." "Ok, ok. It's....." "Yeah?" "It's Max." "What?"
