*3 weeks later*

John POV

I wake up around 11:30 and see Alex sitting at his desk. "Hey" He says not looking up.

"Hey" I reach over and pick up my phone, I see a miss call from Jefferson. "Hello?" I say when I call him back.

"Hey John, I don't know if you know but Philip's at my place with Peter" He says.

"WHAT?! Why didn't you tell me 3 weeks ago?!" I yell.

"I only just found out I swear" He says.

"Me and Alex are coming right now!" I say and hang up. "Philip's at Jefferson's house!" I say and we both get up and get into the car.

When we get there I knock on the door and James opens it. "Oh hey, Thomas said you were coming over, come in" He says and we basically run in.

"Where is he?!" Alex asks Jefferson.

"Just in Peter's room over there." He says and we walk into that room.

I open the door to see Philip and Peter making out on the bed. "Philip!" Alex yells.

They both quickly separate. "Pa, Dad what are you doing here?" He asks

"We came to pick you up and take you home." I say.

"I'm good" He says.

"Ok well as much as I want Jefferson to go to hell, sorry Peter, you can't just come into someone's house and live there with out even telling them" I say.

"Fine then let's just go" He grabs the small bag he brought and we start walk out behind him.

"Thanks Thomas" Alex says on the way out.

Most of the trip home is silent until I say something. "So umm are you and George still....?" I ask awkwardly.

"No obviously not. He broke up with me almost 3 weeks ago" He replies.

"Oh why?"

"Because I didn't stay with him"

"What?" Alex asks.

"He broke up with be because I stayed with fucking Peter instead of him!" He yells.

"Well why didn't you stay with him?" Alex asks.

"Because that would be obvious." He says.

"Have you tried talking to him?" I ask.

"Yes of course I have but he's not answering any of my fucking messages or calls." He yells. Both me and Alex are silent, unsure of what to say. I decide to take Philip to George's place. "Where the fuck are we going?" He asks when I don't turn into our street.

"You'll see" I say.

When he get there he looks at me confused. "Why the hell did you bring me here?"

"You're gonna get out and talk to him" I say and he shakes his head.

"No. He's made it very clear he doesn't want to talk to me."

"Well you can either go in and talk to him or I'll go get him and you guys can talk while we're in the car, it's your choice." I say and he sighs.

"Fine I'll go." He gets out of the car and I smile.

Philip POV

I knock on the door and about a minute later George opens the door. "What the fuck do you want?" He asks.

"I wanna talk to you." I say and he rolls his eyes

"I don't have anything to say to you" He starts closing the door but I hold it open.

"But I do, Please." I beg.

"Fine." He folds his arms and stands in the door way.

"Thank you. The only reason I didn't stay with you is because I knew my dad's would come to your house and ask you and then I know you would lie to them but then they wouldn't like you and I need them to like you. I swear there's nothing between me and peter we're not even that close I only went there cuz my dad's wouldn't think of him" I explain.

"But you didn't even tell me! I would have thought you'd at least talk to me about what happened but I had to wait for you dads to come to my house to find out." He replies clearly hurt.

"I'm sorry, I wanted to call you but I thought you'd already be asleep." I say.

"After the Phone call what did you do?" He ask and my stomach drops.

"What do you mean?"

"Were you still 'Just friends' ?" He asks

"W-We kissed" I admit, I look up and see tears in his eyes. He starts to close the door again "Wait, please! I swear it meant nothing. I don't care about him, I don't love him. I love you!" I try to hold the door open.

"Then why. If it meant nothing and you don't love him why would you do it?" He asks almost crying.

"I was upset! I thought you would never speak to me again. I wanted you to be there! You know I would never do something like this I just didn't want to process what happened, I love you." I plead.

"I love you too! But how am I supposed to trust you now?" He sighs.

"George...." I say but he just shakes his head.

"I just need some time." He closes the door and I stand staring and the door for a minute. I walk back to the car and get in.

"How'd it go?" Pa asks.

"Oh gee it went great, we've never been better" I say sarcastically. They both just look at each other but remain silent. After a minute Dad starts driving back to our house.

John POV

When we get home Philip gets out of the car and locks himself in his room. Me and Alex slowly follow into the house.

I walk over to Philips room and knock on the door. "Go away" He says.

"Pip please talk to me" I beg.

"No this is all your fault!" He yells.

"Look I'm sorry. But I'm sure George will come around. You guys will get though this." I say.

"You don't know that" He say.

"Yes I do. If you guys are meant to be together then everything will work out, and I know how cliché that sounds but it's true" I say.

He opens the door and hugs me. "I miss him" He says.

"I know, it'll be ok," I reassure him.
