"Welcome home!" Sophie and Joey yell when I walk through the front door of the house. I had been released from the hospital today and was finally getting home.

I struggle to get into the door with my crutches and almost gave up when my dad comes to help me.

"Jacob, ask for help please, don't kill yourself trying to do everything alone." He says setting my bags down on the floor.

My last day at the hospital was pretty normal, Grace came back the next day and we hung out for a little bit and I told her what the nurse has said about Kameron and Greg being in love with me.

"Jacob, please be careful I don't want you to get hurt ." Grace was like the sister that I never had. She genuinely cared about me more than my actual sister did which was nice to have.

"I will be I promise." I tell her giving her a weak smile.

Joey pats me on the shoulder before helping me to the couch to sit down. Joey wasn't a very loving guy, Joey and I didn't grow up together so we didn't spend a lot of time together. While I was more academic and focused on my studies, Joey was into sports and hanging out with friends and having sex with girls.

"Thanks, Joey." I smile at him and he gives me a hug surprising me.

"I thought I was going to lose you Jacob and even though we don't have the best relationship I would never want that to happen." He gives me one more hug before he disappeared upstairs.

"Jacob, someone's at the door for you." My dad Damon yells from the front of the house.

"Can you let them in please dad." I yell and he tells someone that I'm in the living room. Grace walks into the living room but she doesn't look so happy to see me like she usually is.

"What's up?" I could tell that she wasn't happy to be here.

"I really don't want to do this but he deserves to tell you the truth." I was confused and didn't understand what she meant.

"Who is he?" I ask as Grace help me on my feet and towards the front of the house. Once we reach the front door she pauses but continues until we are on the front porch and I can finally see who she was talking about.

"Jacob," Greg gets up from his place on the car and runs over to me and almost hugs me before he realized that I was on crutches.

"What is he doing here?" I ask Grace trying to ignore Greg's presence.

"Just hear him out Jacob, I'm going to sit in the car." grace smiles and walks off.

"Say what you want to say and make it fast." I didn't care about what Greg had to say at the moment since I was still pissed at him.

"There was no bet," He says but he couldn't look me in the eyes when he says it.

"What?" I couldn't tell if he was lying to me or he was telling the truth.

"There was no bet, The only reason the bet thing got brought up was because of Grace. Grace is my little sister what would she think if she found out about me hooking up with one of her friends. So when she was suggesting that we were hooking up, I told her that it was a bet to get her off my back but I didn't think it would end like this." He was finally looking at me and he looks like he is going to cry.

"Then I found out that you were in an accident and my heart broke and I couldn't wait to find out what happened to you so I drove to Charlie's house but you were at the hospital by then. The last few weeks were so hard for me, so many things were running through my mind. I needed a break from everything because you did lie to me Jacob and I do believe you should have been more honest with Kameron but I can't hold that against you." He put his hand on mine on top of my crutch.

"Greg I-I think I need time to figure all this out." I say removing his hand from mine. The smile fell from his face and he nods.

"That's fine Jacob, but I will wait for how long you want me to wait for you." He smiles and plants a kiss on my forehead.

"I love you." He says before leaving and getting the car with Grace.

I stand on the front porch in shock. Greg had just told me that he loves me, When he said the words I stopped breathing. When I finally could move again I turned around to walk in the house but not before seeing someone out the corner of my eye standing at the window next door. I look over and see Kameron staring at me with a blank look on his face. I don't know what he had saw but I'm sure that he had taken it the wrong way. I want to say something but I could barely walk and before I had the opportunity to do anything he closes the curtains and disappears.

I didn't do much the rest of the afternoon so I decided to take a shower and take a nap. It was hard to shower with a cast on and it would take some time to get used to. After a long exhausting shower, I was finally in bed and before I could do anything my phone started buzzing on my nightstand.

Grace. The caller ID read, I pick it up and was surprised to hear Grace screaming my name from the other end of the phone.

"Jacob, check Instagram now!" She didn't sound happy and I could tell that it wasn't anything good.

I open Instagram and the first thing I see on my feed makes me do a double-take.

"No, that can't be true." I can't  believe what I was seeing.

"I think it is, was this her plan all along?" Grace didn't sound happy I couldn't even see her face and I knew she was fuming.

"I don't know, but why would he fall for this."

I look down at my phone to see a photo of Jess and Kameron kissing at an ice cream shop with the caption, "so happy to have the love of my life back". I couldn't believe it if Jacob and the nurse were right why did Kameron get back with Jessica.

Out of nowhere, I could feel myself getting angry and before I knew it, I was knocking on the Morris' door looking for Kameron.
