"I have something to confess..."

-----

"You hooked up with Scott!?" All of the roommates screamed basically simultaneously.

"Yea..." I said cautiously.

"When?" Aaron asked shocked.

"The day before yesterday."

I remembered that Scott had texted me that he was here so I texted him to come inside. About another minute of the roommates ridiculing me for what I do with my life, Scott walked in the door. When he saw all of the roommates standing around me, he almost turned on his heels and go back out the door but I ran back and pulled him over by his hand. 

"Am I about to face a firing squad?" he whispered to me as we walked back over.

I giggled a little before looking at him and shrugging.

Once we got up to the guys (and Devyn) Scott looked at all of hem and simply said, "Hey guys..."

"Scott," Elton started calmly, "You are so, so lucky that I got my anger of someone dating my sister with Colby, because if not, this would be a whole lot worse."

Elton put his camera down and started to chase after Scotty. Here we go again.

I looked at Colby and he looked heartbroken. I could tell that he thought that his apology was a few days too late. I felt really bad but I genuinely did like Scotty. But Colby was... Colby. I think I just need some time to myself to think. I knew that I couldn't end things with Scotty just because Colby finally got off of his ass and finally apologized. I was happy wit Scott but I knew I could be happy with Colby too. Scotty ran back into the house, realizing he was just as strong as Elton and stopped to try and hold him back. 

"Elton, Chill," he said scared, still holding Elton back.

Elton tried to loosen his grip, but Scotty was stronger than him. He eventually gave up and stopped fight against him.

"Are you good?" Scott asked him cautiously. 

"I guess. Colby got the worst of it last time."

Scotty backed up slowly making sure not to look away from Elton until he was standing by my side. Well, more like using me as a shield.

"Did you still want to go today or..." Scot said while looking around at all the rose petals and everything spread out in the room.

"Yea, of course. I'm not going to cancel our plans just because... you know what? Never mind. I'm not just going to ditch you."

"Do you still want it to be as a date or just hanging out as friends?"

I went over to him and cupped both sides of his face with my hands. "Just because Colby got off of his ass and apologized doesn't mean I don't still want to be with you," I whispered to him before kissing him on the cheek.

"So.." Scot started, still whispering, "Is it okay for me to do this?" he grabbed me hand and interlocked our fingers and I giggled and nodded at him.

"You two go have fun, we'll clean this up," Aaron told me looking at the rest of the guys.

"Are you sure?" I asked him.

"Of course. I would have to do it anyways so," we all laughed.

Scott held onto my hand and led me out the front door, raving about how amazing the date he planned was.

~~ Colby's POV ~~

Scott and Carly left the house, hand in hand. How could this happen in a week? Not even a week really. If only I had done this whole thing a day sooner I could've still had her with me. But I wasn't there for her, Scotty was. I understand her reasoning but wish that it didn't have to be like this. I never should've gone to Vegas in the first place. I never should've let Brennen talk me into drinking that much.

After cleaning up the best apology I've ever made, I went to the bar inside and looked to see if we had any alcohol. Of course, we did. I pulled out a bottle of Tequila and headed to my room, trying not to let the guys notice. Once I got to my room I ripped the cap off and started drowning away my sorrows.

Half the bottle later, I had an idea. The whole reason I had cheated on Carly was because Brennen got me so shitfaced drunk that I didn't know any better.

I took out my phone and texted Brennen.

Hey guys! Sorry for the short chapter but I wanted to leave you on that cliff hanger Huhuhuh! Anyways, I want to apologize in advance if the chapters stop being consistent again but I'm back in school after break and am doing a lot. It took me three days to write just this. But at the same time I have school all day then tech stuff for our school musical for a few hours after and I'm writing a short story for a contest, and my friends are trying to get me to write them stories I think about in my head when with any of my crushes 😑😒. But anyways... I have at least one more chapter ready to be posted after this one so that will be out tomorrow (unless something went horribly wrong) but after that there may be some just posting chapters when I finish them and who knows when that will be. But then again I finished writing this chapter two days ago so... 😂
