Jake's POV

I knew that Savannah and Emilio were dating. I tried to act as if it didn't bother me anymore, but inside it really did. It actually hurt, I don't understand why it hurt so much because it just, did.

I got out of bed in an unusual mood. I walked downstairs to see Erika working on her laptop, for some reason I felt really attracted towards her. I have never felt this way towards Erika and this surprised me. She looked really beautiful with her hair tucked behind her ear and her eyes focused on the screen as her delicate fingers tapped away at the keyboard.

I sat down at the table and took my phone out. "Hey Jake." She smiled at me. I looked up and smiled, "Hey Erika, what are you working on?" I scooted a little closer cautiously. Erika seemed to notice, but didn't do anything but smile. "I was just finishing up some papers we got from David." I nodded and leaned over her shoulder looking at the screen. She smiled, looking at me from the side of her eye. It didn't take long before things escalated.

I was leaning my head on Erika's shoulder, I couldn't help myself, I kissed her neck. Erika turned her head and kissed me. I held my hand in her hair and kissed her. Soon, the kisses started to get hotter and hotter as it quickly turned into a full-out makeout session. When we finished I whispered sweet-nothings into her ear, making her giggle. When we finished everything I returned back to where I began as if nothing happened.

--------------------

Later on that day I was just chilling and vlogging. I heard some screaming and laughter. Emilio ran by with Savannah on his back, they were laughing and being loud. I smiled eventhough I wished it was me giving Savannah that piggyback ride. I felt like such a horrible person for wanting what Emilio had and wanting to call Erika mine. I sat back and pondered.

------------

I must've fallen asleep because when I woke up it was dark and I was covered. I was covered in big blanket. I quietly stood up and turned on the light. The house was quiet except for my footsteps. I made my way over into the kitchen. Heating up a pre-made meal I sat at the counter. I ate in peace, staring at the wall. I didn't know what time it was, yet I didn't care. I had so much on my mind I needed the quiet. I took another bite, when I heard a door open. I left my thoughts and looked up to see a tired Erika walking out of her room. She stretched, "hey Jake, what are you doing up so early?" I smiled.

"I don't know, just thinking. I guess." I took another bite, "Why are YOU up so early?" I said point my fork towards her. She was now in the fridge, "Well at 9, I'm going to yoga with Chanthony and the girls, I'm up now so I could get some work done. I'll be out half the day." She placed the meal in the microwave. "You have set today?" She sat down across from me. "Uh yeah." "Oh cool, I gotta get ready, bye Jake." She got up grabbing her food and returned to her room. I smiled to myself. I left to my room.

------------------

I opened the Team10 door and walked in, camera in hand ready to vlog whatever may happen. I turned the camera on, just in case. I made my way into the living space. I walked over to Erika. "So, about what happened yesterday, I kind of want to talk to you about it?" She stopped typing and looked at me. She smiled, "Okay, go ahead say what's on your mind." She looked at me. "Well, I really like Savannah and I want her to like me back, but she's dating Emilio, and it's obvious that she loves to be with him. I want to ruin their relationship, but I feel bad because they're my friends. I was thinking about it yesterday and I wanted to just sit down and think. I sat with you, just looking at you made my mind change drastically, and I don't know what came over me, but I suddenly like you, a lot. When we kinda made out, I felt sparks I've never felt. Not with girls in High School, not with Alissa, not even Tessa. I guess what I'm trying to say is. I like you Erika, and I don't know how or why, but you make me feel special." I turned pink. Erika smiled towards me, "Awe Jake." She got up and hugged me. "I like you too, but I think I want to give it time, especially because you like or liked Savannah. I think what you need to do is just clear your mind, take a walk, breathe in the fresh air, and just think. When you're ready come back to me Jake, take as long as you need." She let go. I smiled, "Thank you Erika, you really helped me."

I was just casually strolling when suddenly I felt someone jump out next to me. "Hey Jakey-poo!" Savannah giggled. I smiled, "Hey Savvy-poo!" I laughed. She ran in front of me, and skipped in circles. "What are you doing all alone?" I felt like since getting stuff off of my chest towards Erika, I should doing it to Savannah. "Well, I was just thinking. Can I talk to you about something that's been bothering me?" Savannah stopped dancing, "Of course Jake! You can tell me anything, and I'll be honest." I smiled, "Thanks, well. Since you got to the house, I've been crushing on you, and I felt I really liked you. I hated seeing you all lovey-dovey with Emilio and it made me upset. I said that Emilio was with a girl, so that I could comfort you and make you hate him and want me, but you ran away crying before I could do anything. When I realized how much I actually hurt you, I felt horrible. The next day, I knew that you were dating Emilio because you were more cute with him then you were before, I woke up the day after that and realized I had feelings for Erika too! I talked to her and she said that I should think everything through. I'm sorry Savannah." She was silent. I chewed my lip waiting for a response.

"Well Jake, I feel honored to know that you like or I guess liked me, and I feel bad because I don't feel the same way. I am with Emilio, and I care so, so, so much about him. I hope you know that Erika is a great girl and if you get with her, you better treat her right. Jake, I love you and I love being your friend. I love that I can be myself and you wouldn't judge me one bit. Please, though. Don't ruin my relationships with people no matter how much you like me and whatnot, just don't do that if that's what I want from you. Please stay my friend, even my best friend. Just don't ruin something other." She smiled. I felt relieved, "Okay Savannah, thank you. I from now on will go with my heart, and chase what I desire. Thank you." She smiled, "Of course! Lets get back." We walked back, and went to our designated rooms. I felt happy.
