Well looky here! What is this? Like two days later, a new chapter? I do believe that is a new record! This chapter is a little bit shorter but it needed to happen like this I think. Well hopefully I will continue getting better at updating because I hate when people don't update for like 3 months and I totally do that so for that, I'm so sorry! Also, to everyone who has been reviewing, thank you so much! It truly means a lot and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. So with no further ado, enjoy!

Note: I do not own Glee, it's affiliates, or any characters you may recognize.

Nick was sitting on his bed reading his book for English class when he suddenly heard the sounds of a key unlocking the door. That meant that Jeff was back. The two boys hadn't spoken since their "talk" that morning. Nick was still hurt and frustrated about the event he witnessed between Jeff and Sebastian but he didn't really want to be angry with Jeff because after all, that was his best friend and he was going through a rough time. Nevertheless, Nick pretended to be engrossed in his book as Jeff walked through the door. As Jeff turned around to close the door behind him, Nick chanced a look at the blond haired boy. As soon as he looked up, he regretted it. The first thing that caught his eye was the name Smythe written across Jeff's back with Dalton's lacrosse logo just below it. He was wearing his fucking hoodie!

"Hey." Jeff said as he turned back around and plopped his keys on his desk.

"Hey." Nick said without removing his eyes from the page he was currently staring blankly at.

"Um…" Jeff began awkwardly. "I'm sorry about earlier. I just…"

"Why are you all wet?" Nick interrupted.

"It's raining outside?"

"Let me rephrase that then. Why were you outside? Where were you?"

"I uh...I went to get some dinner with Sebastian." Jeff looked almost bashful.

"I see. Is that why his name is smeared across your back?"

Jeff looked at Nick incredulously.

"Nick, if you want me to leave, just say so."

"I'm not going to make you leave your own room Jeff."

Seeing that Nick didn't seem like he wanted to say much else, Jeff decided that he should probably take off Sebastian's wet clothes and take a nice warm shower before he caught cold. So he did just that.

While Jeff was in the shower, Nick lied on his bed, staring at the ceiling. Just as he thought his life couldn't get any more messed him, shit hit the fan. What's that expression? When it rains, it pours? Yeah, that was pretty much Nick's life right now. He had basically two options at this point. He could either, go after Jeff now that he knew Jeff was capable of having mutual feelings or, he could just let his feelings go and let Jeff's heart lead the way. Unfortunately there were problems going along with each option. Nick was definitely not ready to let Jeff know about his feelings towards him. He didn't want it to make things even more confusing than they already are for Jeff either. But, he also knew that he wouldn't be able to let his feelings go and he couldn't bear to let Jeff fall for Sebastian without him seeing Nick as an option. He couldn't decide which road to go down right now but he did know that he needed to talk to Jeff because neither option involved him being angry with his best friend. A few minutes later, Jeff emerged from the bathroom dressed in his own clothes again and collapsed on his bed with intentions of reading his English book as well.

"Jeff. I've got to talk to you."

"Oh now you want to talk to me?"

"Yes actually, I do. Please look at me?"

Jeff reluctantly looked away from his book.

"I've done some thinking and I just want to say a few things. I'm not going to yell or anything. Just please listen okay?"

Jeff nodded.

"First of all, I'm really sorry about the way I acted this morning. I was being selfish. I was just so hurt that I had to find out that way. But then I remembered that this isn't about me. It's about you. I remembered what it was like realizing I wasn't straight. It was so scary because I had no clue who I was anymore and I had all these questions without answers. Of course coming out to my family and friends was difficult and so incredibly scary but the scariest part was coming to terms with it myself. I remembered what that felt like and I realized that's where you're standing right now. I was a horrible best friend and I let my frustration get in the way being there for you. I guess I get angry when you talk about Sebastian because I didn't like that you went to him for help instead of me, and believe me, I understand why you did it. I just want you to know Jeff, that from here on out, I'm here for you. I'll try to answer any questions you have and I'll do whatever I can to make this easier for you. Blaine helped me come to terms with it and now I want to help you. I really care about you Jeff. You're my best friend. And if you have feelings for Sebastian…that's okay by me."

Nick breathed a huge sigh of relief as Jeff opened his mouth to speak.

"Nick, I need to apologize too. As I said this morning, I really didn't want you to find out that way. I wanted to tell you, I really did but I was scared. You're my best friend and I didn't want to jeopardize our friendship. I figured I had nothing to lose with Sebastian. But as I got to know Sebastian a little bit better, I discovered that he isn't always the asshole that he appears to be. He's actually a really great guy and I don't know…I might have feelings for him but I'm just not sure if it's him or just because it's the first time I've ever…kissed a guy."

"I believe you. I just don't want you to get hurt."

"I know Nick. I know, and I'll be careful I promise. I just have no idea what's going on in my head right now. I'm just trying to sort things out. And I'm also sorry that I ran out when I tried to say this all this morning. I chickened out. It wasn't that I didn't want to tell you, I just had never said these things out loud before and as you said, it's scary admitting such things to yourself."

"It gets easier. I promise."

"Thanks Nick. I really mean it. Are you still mad at me?"

"Jeff, I was never really mad at you. I was more mad at the situation but I you know me, I can't stay angry for a very long time."

Nick smiled and Jeff smiled back. Both boys got up to give each other a hug.

"I'm so glad I got that all out!" Jeff said.

"I'm glad you did too. I'm glad I got to say what I said also."

"Me too."

The conversation left both boys drained and they decided to call it a night. Once Jeff knew Nick was asleep, he crawled out of bed and retrieved a pen and his red notebook.

Dear Nobody,

I think things are going to get easier now. I just need to get a grip on reality and figure things out. I think I have feelings for you but you're so perfect and I don't see how you would ever feel the same towards me. I guess the only thing left to do is figure out who I am and what I want and just go for it. If only that wasn't easier said than done…

Thank you so much for reading this story! Reviews and such are more than welcome but definitely not expected. Hope to see you next chapter!
