Both of the boys started becoming distant from each other. Well, as distant as you could be living in the same house. Anthony had told Ian that he had a new girlfriend, but Ian had said nothing to Anthony about his new love life. One day, Ian was watching TV when Anthony walked in with a grim expression on his face.

"You're getting a call," Anthony said stiffly.

"From?"

"Kalel."

Ian froze.

"Why is she calling you?" Anthony said angrily. It came out more like a statement than a question.

"Well... I guess she wants something...?" Ian said, trying to cool Anthony's temper.

"It must be important, because she called 3 times."

"Uh... Yeah... Can I have my phone now?"

"Tell me why she's calling."

"I don't know!"

"Tell me!"

"I DON'T KNOW!"

"F*ck this. You know what? I don't even care. Because you know 'Lauren'? Well, she's actually Melanie!" Anthony confessed in a fit of rage.

"WHAT? Dude, how could you?" Ian yelled, hurt.

"Says the guy dating Kalel!" countered Anthony.

"Whatever! I've only been seeing her for a week, unlike you for who knows how long!"

"Get. Out."

"What?!" Ian exclaimed.

"I can't believe you. Get out. Go live with Kalel or your mom or someone who won't date your ex," Anthony said, furious.

"You suck, Anthony. You really do."

"Nice choice of words, Ian."

"Shut the hell up, Anthony!"

Ian then went into his room, slammed the door, and began to pack.

Anthony and Melanie were out to dinner when he broke the news to her.

"Ian... Moved out."

"Oh, why?" she asked, concerned.

"He's... He's dating Kalel!"

"Oh my God, really?" Melanie was shocked, but secretly was a little jealous.

"Yeah, I think it was just to get back at me. I didn't actually tell him we were dating, but I'm pretty sure he knew." Anthony felt guilty telling Melanie this.

"And how'd you find out? Did he tell you?" Melanie tried to act interested in Anthony, but she really just wanted to know about Ian.

"No. I was editing a video and his phone was in the room. It started to ring and I saw it was Kalel. For a second, I forgot it was Ian's phone and blocked the call. Then I saw he had two missed calls from her. She called again and I brought his phone to him, but I knew something was up," Anthony said.

"Wow. That's... Surprising. Have you talked to him since?"

"No... And I honestly don't know what to say."
