Everyone in the room was quiet. Nobody dared speak or move. Ted couldn't believe his ears. Cody was trying his best not to grin like a cheshire cat. Randy was wobbling on the spot with wide eyes. Maryse was staring at Ted. Esme had her hand over her mouth and dropped the mic. Ted was the first to speak.

"Please tell me your joking?" He said as he looked from Esme to Cody.

"Ted…" Esme started as she jumped off the stage and walked over to him.

"Cut to the chase Esme what did you mean when you said Cody's name instead of mine?" He demanded. Usually he was a mellow person but when he'd heard his girlfriend say she loved someone else, more importantly the man who was suppose to be his best friend he wasn't gonna take that lightly.

"Ted.. Im so sorry!" Esme burst into tears. Cody walked over and glared at Ted.

"There's no need to be like that.. We don't need to do this in front of everyone!" Cody said through gritted teeth.

Ted glared at Cody and Esme and started to walk out the room with Cody and Esme following in silence. Cody knew Esme was drunk and hadn't meant to say that but he just couldn't help it. She loved him. Even though he had acted liked a jerk and broke things off between them. Only thing now was he was leaving tomorrow and everything was about to kick off. He couldn't just leave her could he?

The three of them ended up outside the back of the hotel. Ted glared at the two of them. Esme was too upset and scared to speak. She'd never seen Ted so angry. Cody on the other hand wasn't going to be bullied around.

"I'll tell you everything that's happened but you have to promise me one thing?" Cody said as he looked at Ted.

"What would that be?" Ted spat at him.

"Don't hate Esme, hate me. This whole thing is my fault anyway."

"Fine."

"Well, I guess it started the whole night you told Esme how you felt. We got trapped in the elevator and well one thing sort of led to another and we had sex. Then Esme got with you. I kind of initiated things again with Es and for a while we we're having an affair behind your back. We honestly wanted to tell you sooner but then Maryse got involved in the whole thing and…"

"WHAT THE FUCK DOES MARYSE HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?" Ted shouted at the top of his lungs. He couldn't believe what he'd just heard. His best friend had been sleeping with his girlfriend behind his back.

"Shes in love with you…" Esme whispered quietly, finally speaking up for the first time. Ted rubbed his forehead as Cody continued.

"I broke things of with Es a week ago or so now because Maryse made me.." Cody said turning to Esme. This was the first time he'd told her why he'd actually broke things off with her.

"Why?" Esme questioned.

"She was gonna tell Ted everything if I didn't.. I didn't want Ted to hate you."

"Well isn't this just fucking sweet. My girlfriend, who I love more than anything in this entirely world has been fucking my best friend, the one guy I thought I could trust. How could you do this to me?" Ted said on the verge of tears.

"Im sorry, im so so sorry!" Esme said as she went to touch Ted's hand but he flinched away from her. The woman he'd loved most in the world had betrayed him in the worst possible way. Cody looked at Esme as he pulled her sobbing body away from Ted.

"Ted.. I never meant for any of this to happen," Cody shook his head. He loved Ted, he was his best friend. How had one girl done this to the two of them?

"SHUTUP, JUST SHUTUP! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER WORD OUT OF ANY OF YOU!" Ted screamed, tears falling freely from his face. He couldn't stand to look at either of them right now. Cody took a step away from Ted but Ted was too fast as he swung his fist back and punched Cody square in the face and ran off.

Esme walked over to Cody. "Im sorry, I never meant for any of this to happen."

"I know you didn't come here!" He pulled her in for a one arm hugged as he held the side of his face Ted had punched him at with his other. Esme pulled away from Cody and looked him dead in the eyes.

"I meant it Cody, I do love you. I don't think I can do this though. I cant be with either of you right now.. I feel like such a bitch. I think its best if I just go home for a while," Esme kissed Cody softly on the lips as she let tears fall from her face then walked away.

Walked out of Ted's life, out of Cody's life, out of the life of everyone she'd ever loved.

For now we'll get to see how Cody & Ted get through this.
