A/N: Hi lovies! Uhm.. First of all, I've been working a bit with the way I'm writing, and I've written in a slightly different manner than I usually do, in this chapter, so if it makes any difference to you as my beautiful reader, good or bad way, I'd appriciate it very much to hear it, so I'll know if I should keep up, with writing this way, or if I should just stick to the way I am usually writing!

Also now I don't want to sound self centered or ego or anything, but please, baby please, could you review my chapter, because it means a lot to know what my lovely readers are thinking about it and I tend to overthink and suspect that it was all crap, when I'm not hearing anything, so please? I'm not going to force you though!

I don't even know what more to say. But I've had three weeks filled with people and being busy, so if you feel like it's taken me long to get up with this, then I'm very sorry, it's not my intention to keep ya'll waiting! And- I suppose that's it? I don't know what more to say, after all!

Sooooo.. Enjoy?

"Now- what was it you were saying about the dream you had?" Thad asked and looked up from Jeff's phone, which was lying in his hand, the conversation with Nick, lighting up the screen.

Jeff's face turned red, as he looked down in his lap, as he was sitting with his legs crossed on the bed, across for Thad. Barely even hearable, Jeff mumbled something into the palm of his hand.

"What?" Thad asked, as he had truly not heard what his fragile roommate had said.

"It's always him, Thad!" Jeff murmured, this time high enough for Thad to actually hear the words. Jeff's voice was shaking as he spoke, and he honestly sounded mostly like he was just about to cry. "Always him." The blonde repeated.

"Who, Jeff?" The dark haired teen asked with a frown. "Who?" Thad reached out and put his hand on Jeff's arm; careful not to touch his wrist. He knew that Jeff was still not over the episode with Danny, and that it would probably take a long time before he could deal with people touching his wrists again.

"Nick!" Jeff yelped and looked up at his roommate with tear filled eyes. "He just starts appearing everywhere, he broke Danny-" Jeff took a deep breath before he opened his mouth again. "Then the texts. And now this!" Jeff's head dropped and he pulled his feet up, so he could hug his knees, resting his chin on them as well.

"What happened in that dream, Jeff?" Thad moved a little closer to the blonde. "Tell me what happened?" He didn't want to force the guy to tell him, but yet he also knew that he needed to get it out, that it was filling a lot in his head. It had to be. Because he knew, that the boy in front of him, would never ask of him, nor do so himself, to ditch one of the classes with him.

"It's nothing big." Jeff mumbled and shrugged, though his eyes were still glistening with tears. "It's just-" He started, not really knowing how to start, even though it was quite simple; then he sighed. "It was in the future. I had a cat. A fat one." A little smile pulled at the corner of his lips. "And a dog. Gabby was playing with it in the living room-"

"Wait! Who's Gabby?" Thad interrupted, frowning at the blonde teen.

"My daughter!"

"You had a daughter?"

"Yes!" Jeff's voice had become slightly lighter at this point, but dropped heavier again, when he picked up the explanation he was trying to do. "Well anyways. I was in our bedroom-"

"Our?"

"Thad! I'm never gonna be able to finish if you keep interrupting!"

"Sorry." Thad mumbled. "Go on." He then encouraged with a faint smile to his roommate.

"Thank you." Jeff said before continuing. "I was in our bedroom. And I was looking at old photographs. Like- Of Gabby, Gabby and the cat, Gabby and me. You know- that kind of pictures." He then silenced for a moment, looking like he was thinking very hard over something. "I wasn't alone, Thad." He then said, after his pause. "I wasn't alone." He repeated quietly.

"You weren't alone?" Thad asked after yet another silent pause. He'd expected Jeff to continue his explanation. He had, but when he didn't say anything, he simply had to ask. He was slowly putting the bits together in his head though, adding one and one to each other, reaching the answer; yet he couldn't be sure, before hearing Jeff telling him, what it really was. So his mind kept working as he waited for Jeff to most likely confirm his thoughts.

"No." Jeff then whispered. "I mean I was! –At first. But only physically," Jeff's voice trailed off, and he just kind of sat there; his mouth still open, for a few seconds. He took a deep breath, as though he was about to say something, but yet nothing happened. He just shook his head and closed his mouth again.

Thad kept his eyes fixed on Jeff, but when yet nothing more were said, he took tried again; "Physically? What do you mean?"

"What I said." Jeff stated, refusing to look into Thad's eyes.

"It was Nick. Something with Nick, am I right?" Thad asked; taking over the situation, now that he could both feel and see on the expression on Jeff's face, that he'd lost it.

Jeff said nothing; he just kept looking away, moving his head in a slight nod.

"Jeff?"

Yet, Jeff still said nothing; but he did lift his head, hesitating but he did lift his head up and let his eyes connect with Thad's.

"What was it with Nick?" He asked quietly, knowing that speaking too loudly would only make Jeff shut off, even further.

"We were married!" Jeff exclaimed, so loudly it felt like the room was shaking, after they'd been talking quietly for quite a while.

Thad was completely taken aback, even though it had been one of the things he would have guessed at, if he were to guess; yet he hadn't really expected that guess to be the right one. Both boys were just looking into the others eyes, feeling the silence settling back around them, not really wanting to break it. Yet the only thing which did break the silence was their low breaths and one single sniff from Jeff, which Thad did not really hear, when he was deeply lost in thoughts.

"Jeff, you've got to be kidding me." Thad said, his eyes growing a little wider, when something finally clicked inside is brain.

One more sniff sounded, before Jeff opened his mouth to speak, "what do you mean?" He asked, as he really did not understand what Thad was talking about.

"Nick, of all people?" Thad questioned, but did not wait for an answer, before he continued. "Did it really have to be Nick? Why can't you at least fall for someone who's treating you right?" He asked, his eyes full of worry, because really? Nick? Jeff could do better; he could have fallen for… -Blaine or whatever! But it really had to be Nick?

"What?" Jeff gaped for a moment, before his eyes widened, in the same manner as Thad's had just done. "No. No! I am not falling for him! –Thad. No!" Jeff didn't stop defending himself, before Thad opened his mouth and cut him off.

"Jeff! I know you, remember?" Thad started, "We've lived together for a year now, I've always been the one you've come to, with your troubles; not matter what they might've been about! Jeff you can't fall for this guy! He's no good for you!" Thad's hands were resting on Jeff's shoulders as he said this, his eyes never letting go of the blonde's.

"Thad I'm not-"

"Oh, you're not?" Thad asked with a lifted eyebrow, showing his lack of trust in Jeff's words.

"I'm-" Jeff started, but when Thad's eyebrow shut even further up, he sighed heavily. "What if I am Thad?" He then said with a broken voice. "What if I am falling for him? I don't want to fall for him, Thad! He's nothing but a mean bastard, who wants to get in my pants! I won't let him, Thad! I don't want to! Oh my god what am I going to do?" At this very moment, Jeff finally broke down. Not that it was a good thing, but yet, he'd been feeling it on its way since he woke up, and letting go made it feel like quite a release when he felt the tears starting to fall from his eyes.

Instinctively, Thad put his arms around Jeff, and pulled him into his embrace; hugging him tightly. "Do you know what you're going to do?" He murmured against Jeff's hair. "Right now, you're going to stay here and try to get some sleep! Then I'll take care of some stuff, and then we'll figure out how to get through this, okay?" One of Thad's hands had been stroking Jeff's back; all the while he'd been talking and rocking back and forth, with Jeff in his arms.

Jeff only nodded as he kept crying into Thad's chest. Not another word was uttered, before Jeff started drifting away. Thad's thoughts were simple and yet sad; this is the second time since Nick crossed Jeff's path, that he's cried himself to sleep in my arms.

Not before Thad was completely sure, that Jeff was fast asleep, he shifted and got his roommate down on the bed and put the blanket over him. He glanced at the innocent blonde guy, sleeping with the tearstains still freshly painted on his face, before he left the room and walked out of the door, knowing exactly what he was going to do.

"Willson!" The shout sounded through down the hall, ringing between the walls, yet the guy to whom the yell was directed, did not hear it. The red headphones that he almost always wore, was blocking the sounds from the outside. "WILLSON!" Yet another shout sounded, slightly louder but still not loud enough.

Walking down the hall, Danny didn't hear anything. That was the reason why he wore his headphones most of the time, since the incident with Jeff; they shut out most of the sounds around him, so he didn't have to go around and listen to all the sounds and voices, forcing their way into people's brains and creating this massive headache, which Danny just really couldn't handle, since it happened.

"DANNY JACK WILLSON!" The roar, screaming down the halls, finally cut through Danny's headphones, and he turned around to see a very angry- No furious! -Nick, stomping after him. Had this been a cartoon, Danny would have sworn, that Nick's face was as red as a tomato and that damp was coming out of both his nose and ears; this is how angry he looked.

"What do you want, Duval?" Danny asked coldly, as he flipped his headphones down, so they were hanging around his neck. He and Nick hadn't been talking to each other since Nick had hurt him; and honestly, he didn't even want to talk to him again, before he got an apology.

"I want to know what the hell you've been doing to Jeff!" Nick yelled when he'd gotten up in front of Danny, and pushed him on the shoulders to show his strength. He knew that Danny could easily hear him, now that they were right in front of each other, and the headphones had come off, but yet he was mad and he could not stop himself from yelling. Nick also knew that he was shorter than Danny, but he didn't feel inferior for that matter. He knew he was stronger than Danny, both physically and mentally, and Danny knew as well.

"What the hell!" The taller teen exclaimed when he'd been pushed. He'd never been arguing nor fighting with Nick before, and god knew he did not fancy trying it now. He didn't want to fight, but he was certainly not gonna step down on this one either. He deserved an apology! Yeah, it might not have been all good with Jeff but- He asked for it himself! He could just stay away from Nick! If he hadn't hexed his way into Nick's brain, this would never have happened; so really, it's really his own fault!

"Tell me what you did to him." Nick said voice low in a growl. His fists were clenching down his sides and he felt his blood boiling in his body. "He didn't come to class." Nick said, "Jeff always comes to his classes." His hoarse voice was almost cracking, when he served his facts for Danny on a silver platter.

"What are you talking about?" Danny defended himself; noticing from the corner of his eyes, that people in the hall were starting to stare. "I haven't seen him for days! And even if I did do anything to him; it wouldn't be any of your damn business, after the way you treated me!" Danny shot back, his own anger starting to work up.

"Then why. Wasn't he. TO CLASS!" Nick said, between pokes of a finger into Danny's chest. "You better god damn tell me if you did anything to him! I don't care about how unfair you think I have treated you; all I care about is to know what happened to him!" Even though Nick wasn't yelling anymore, his anger was still coiling and that was very well heard from the way he spoke.

"NICK!" A new voice roared over the hallway. Both Danny and Nick turned their heads, to see Thad marching up to them, with long steps.

"Shit." Nick mumbled. He didn't want intruders, when he was trying to get to the bottom of things. "I'll talk to you later." Nick shot angrily at Danny, before he turned on his heel and began strutting away from the point where Thad was heading towards him.

"How dare you!" Thad said to himself, right before passing Danny in the hallways, following Nick. Thad was not going to let him go. He was going to get this done; for Jeff.

Nick did not stop walking, before he felt a hand on his shoulder, swirling him around, till he was front to front with Thad, who looked almost as furious, as Nick had done a moment ago when he'd walked up to Danny. "Wha-"

"You need to stay away from Jeff!" Thad said; obviously struggling with keeping the madness to a minimum. He was a part of The Warblers council, and he would like things to stay that way, so he had to go everything he could, to not explode in the face of Nick. Not here, after all. Not in the social space.

"And I assume, you're going to make me?" Nick scoffed, looking as though he couldn't care less about what Thad was saying.

"As a matter of fact, yes." Thad said a little too loudly, so he lowered his voice and took a little step closer to Nick before he continued. "Look. Jeff is my roommate, and I care a lot for him. I am not going to let anymore crap happen to him. I wasn't there to help him when Danny took advantage of his innocence;" Thad did see the changes in the features of Nick's face, when he mentioned this, but he didn't think any further of it, before continuing his speech. "-but I swear to god, I will be here by his side, against you." Nick's face was back to the stone face he'd been wearing, ever since Thad had arrived.

The last sentence of Thad's had turned Nick's thoughts away from trying to figure out what Danny had done, to putting up all his defenses. He was not going to let go, and give up on Jeff. "Well go on. Give it a shot. Let's see who's going to win in the end." Nick said with a smirk. "You know, just because he doesn't want you; doesn't give you the right to be jealous, and think you can decide who's getting to get close to the guy." Nick did know that Thad was straight, but the look on Thad's face, was worth the verbal punch.

"I- uhm. –Wha-" Thad was struggling with finding the right words; this was not the answer he'd been expecting, so he didn't quite have a retort ready. "Just because I'm friends with him, doesn't mean I'm gay!" He then said when he'd had a short moment to put a coherent sentence together. "All I'm saying is; I'm not going to let you hurt him. So stay away from him!" He finished.

"Stay away?" Nick said more like a scoff than an actual question. "And why the hell should I do that?" He then said, his face and body inflated, to seem bigger and more frightening to Thad; even though said boy didn't seem to notice.

"Because you can't come back once you're lying in the broken glass, Nick." Thad said in a low voice, turned around and left him standing in the hallway alone.

Jeff's eyes were instinctively drawn to the dark haired guy, who just walked through the doors, to the classroom.

It was already after lunch, and Jeff had been sleeping in his and Thad's room, until about fifteen minutes ago, when Thad had woken him. He'd been in the room for a while, Jeff could feel that, but he had also felt that Thad had left, when Jeff was asleep. He had been in that kind of sleep, when you're sleeping, but yet you feel what's going on around you. Yet, Thad was refusing to tell him where he'd been and what he'd been doing. 'It's nothing you should think about.' Was all he had told him.

"Hey, babe." Nick smirked, all the while sending a wink to Jeff, as he walked past, a little closer than necessary. The second he'd passed the blonde, Nick turned his face towards Thad, who was in his seat at the other end of the class, and sent him a sneering grin, bearing the message 'Try me. I'm not going to back down.'

Jeff, of course, did not see this look, that Nick had sent Thad. He had only heard Nick's words and seen the wink and his smirk. That stupid smirk! If I had the chance I'd personally wipe it off his face! But that's not my style. Just- No. I'm not violent, I am not going to be violent, I am going to pretend like he's not even here, and maybe he'll leave me alone.

"Move." Nick's voice sounded next to Jeff, and he dared a quick glance, to see what was going on; he caught a glimpse of Nick bend over the table next to Jeff's, talking to his usual side buddy, Frank. What the hell is he up to? "I said, move it!" Nicks voice sounded again, but then turned into a purring. "You're not going to keep me from my new toy, are you?"

Jeff felt shivers running down his spine. Stop it! –This is disgusting… This is shameful- This is… This is horrible! Not- Sexy. It is not! Jeff was lost in his own thoughts, judging himself for the shivers that had run down his spine, and he didn't hear the scrape of the chair next to him.

"Hey?" Nick's voice had turned soft, as if he was trying to seduce Jeff with his voice only. "Babe?" Jeff could practically hear the smirk in Nick's voice. He didn't look to see if he was right though; he just kept his eyes fixed on his table. "You. Me. My room. At eight?" Nick asked, his voice sounding like his confidence told him, he couldn't possibly lose, while using it.

Jeff only felt his body tense at the way Nick was using his voice, and bit down hard on his bottom lip to keep himself from saying anything, as he'd only just promised himself to ignore the guy, so that he'd hopefully lose interest.

"How about it?" Nick urged, this time with that little purr in his voice.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Jeff exclaimed, before he could stop and remind himself that he had to ignore the guy. As soon as the words were over his lips, Jeff cursed himself in his mind; he didn't want to talk to Nick. Not now, not ever; then maybe it'd all just go away and be normal again.

"C'mon sexy, you know you want to."

"Is that so?" Jeff asked and opened his book for the lesson. "Because I don't recall having any urges to visit your room; nor do I want you inside my room." With his face still turned down, and his eyes now fixed on the book he'd just opened, Jeff was beginning to feel a tingling in his fingers. He didn't want to hit the guy; he just simply didn't know how to react or what to do, to make all the thoughts in his head go away, all the while, figuring out what to respond to Nick's stupid questions.

"So maybe you just want me to take you in this classroom?" Nick's voice did once again send shivers down Jeff's spine. But not exactly in a good way.

"Not in this life time!" While saying this, Jeff had turned his head to look at Nick, and sent him an icy cold gaze. "And I'd prefer it if you would-"

"Jeffrey?" Their teacher's soft voice sounded from the door, and he turned back around to see her standing there. It wasn't before now, Jeff noticed that the class had turned quiet, and that they had probably only head what he'd said.

"Yes, Ms. Sylvin?" Jeff asked and felt his anger and disgust fall, when he looked at her. She had such a nice face; it was hard not to get happy, just from looking at her.

"Don't you think we should leave Mr. Duval alone, so we could start the lesson?" Rio Sylvin said. She didn't sound angry or anything, but her voice was calm and Jeff was sure she knew exactly how calming it was for others to hear her voice, when she talked like that.

"Yes. Sorry." Jeff said, dropping his head slightly and looked at the table once again.

When Rio walked up to the table and started the lesson, Jeff felt Nick's eyes burning as though the guy was trying to look through him, to his soul. He didn't know what to do, really; because talking now, wasn't the best idea, after the way he'd started his class.

All the way through the class, he kept feeling the burn from Nick's eyes, which made it completely impossible for him to concentrate, and Jeff just wished he could go back to his room and hide from the eyes, watching over his every move. But of course he couldn't. He had class and Jeff was not one to leave class.

Thoughts? Maybe..?

Okay.. Loves you!
