Mitch's POV
I sit uncomfortably, relieved when we get to my house. I glance at Jerome, who looks upset, and I can't figure out why. I get out of the car and grab my keys "ready to play some Hunger Games?" I grin.
"Yeah sure" he nods and gets out, walking inside.

Jerome's POV
I walk into Mitch's house and sigh. Mitch is already upstairs and I hear a "J ROMEEEE. ADAM WANTS TO SKYPE!"
I sigh in relief "OKAY!" I yell back and run to the spare computer. I quickly get onto skype and see Adam, Mitch... and Ashley. "Hey guys" I sigh
"FLUFFY! THANK YOU! YOU AREN'T LEAVING ME WITH THE TWO LOVEBUGS NOW" Adam yells and I jump
"You don't need to yell Adam" I say tiredly
"Are you okay Jerome?" Ashley says in a sickly sweet tone. Of course Mitch fell for her.
"Yes. Just tired. And a headache. I'm gonna go" I leave the Skype and lounge back in my chair, closing my eyes.

Mitch's POV
When Jerome leaves I go quietly downstairs. I get some water, and Advil, and a sandwich. When I walk downstairs, Jerome is almost asleep. "Hey G. You okay?" I whisper
"Ughhhhhhhh" is all I get in return. I carefully scoop him up "we're going to my room Jerome. You need rest"
Jerome wraps his arms around my neck "no it's fine" he mutters sleepily "just continue the Skype with Adam. I'll stay in the background.
I nod "okay... At least take this" I offer the stuff I got for him as we get upstairs. "Hey Ash, Adam, I gotta go" I hang up then recall, just with Adam this time.

Adam's POV
"Hey Mitch what was tha-oh. Is Jerome okay?" I notice how tired they both look "is this about Ashley?" I say quietly, glancing at Jerome.
"Mhmm" Jerome mutters, and curls up on Mitch's lap.
"G... what don't you like about her?" Mitch says softly, rubbing his back.
"Everything. She's sickly sweet, a kiss up, she's perfect... And she's yours" he whispers the last part.
I glance at the screen "maybe you guys should talk alone" I hang up.

Mitch's POV
I look at him "what do you mean you don't like that she's mine?" I say nervously. I know Jerome likes me, I'm just not sure how I like him back. Sometimes I REALLY like him. Other times it's just friends.
"I mean... Mitch. I-I like you. A lot" he whispers.
"Jerome... I..." I start to say but don't think. All of the sudden I'm pressing my lips to his, and Ashley walks in. I freeze up "A-Ashley what are you doing here?"
