Chapter 29 - High On Emotions

Riley was coming out of the shower stalls when he saw the rest of the team enter the locker room. Making his way past them all, he sneakily picked up his tossed clothes that were thrown away when he was low key seducing Jessie.

Riley undid the latch on his locker so that he could get his fresh set of clothes. He was in the middle of changing when he felt a pair of hands pushing down his shoulders.

When he turned around, Riley saw Cameron in front of him. Cameron was in the middle of changing out of his sweaty shirt when he asked where his brother was. "He left with you, but he's not in the room anymore."

Riley peeked a look around the room, and he couldn't find Jessie either. "Jessie was here when I went to shower. I wonder where he went."

After Cameron left Rey to go shower, Riley decided to call Jessie. The phone picked up after a couple of rings, and so Riley asked Jessie where he was.

"I'm coming back now." Jessie responded, as he hung up straight afterwards.

Riley looked at his phone funnily when he saw the call disconnect. He shrugged his shoulders as he took a seat next to Jessie's belongs - waiting for him to come back.

A couple of minutes later, Riley saw Jessie walk right past him and gather his belongings. "You alright?"

"Olivia knows." Jessie whispered to Riley without looking at him.

Riley was taken back after hearing that somebody found out about them. When he saw Jessie abruptly leave the room, Riley blinked himself awake as he chased after Jessie.

Riley unknowingly pulled Jessie into the same room he talked to Olivia, and he closed the door behind them so that they could talk in private. "She knows?"

Jessie nodded his head as he told Riley about their conversation, "She saw and heard us going at it in the locker room. And when she asked about it, I just told her the truth since we were so obvious."

Riley stopped Jessie in his tracks when he saw Jessie reach for the door. Jessie was silent as he looked at everywhere but Riley.

"Is that it? You don't seem to be reacting much." Riley mentioned.

Jessie looked at his shoes when he whispered, "There's nothing I can do. She said she will do whatever she wants with the information, and she said she wants to see me punished."

Riley held Jessie's wrist when he tried to reach for the door handle again. Riley was growing frustrated at how dismissive and avoidant Jessie was being. "I'll go talk to her then, and make sure she doesn't spill anything."

"I'm pretty sure she hates you for turning me gay," Jessie sadly laughed. "Given all the shit she told me about you, I highly doubt that she's going to listen to anything coming from your mouth."

Riley finally understood why Jessie was being so 'off'' with him during the time he disappeared from the locker room. "What did Olivia say exactly?"

"Nothing new."

Jessie shook Riley's grips from his wrist so that he could try to leave again. Riley's frustration peaked when he saw Jessie try to leave through the door, and so Riley pushed Jessie against the wall so that he couldn't run away from him.

"Get the fuck away from me!" Jessie yelled.

Riley pushed Jessie against the wall even harder so that he couldn't squirm away. "Why are you being so difficult right now Jessie?!"

"Because I'm the fucking idiot that thought we could make something out of us one day!"

Riley was still confused on why Jessie suddenly needed to be anywhere but with him. However right now, Riley was even more lost after hearing Jessie talk more. "What are you talking about?"
