"Thanks, you guys." Brady hugs them.
"I'm not emotional, you are." Brady said but you can hear him straining his voice trying not to cry.
"Okay, are there any more questions?" Jordan asks the audience as the three boys release their hug and pretend nothing just happened.
"I have a question for Tommy, how long have you had a crush on Jordan?" One of the shippers called up. Tommy got shy but also he hadn't thought about a backstory for them yet so he sat on the floor blushing and drinking another cup of water.
"Sorry, my boyfriend's shy, so let me answer for both of us. I don't know how long exactly he has had a crush on me but I found out 2 months ago. But I have had a crush on him for almost a year." All the shippers started freaking out.
"If you had a crush on him for almost a year, why did it take you two months to accept him as your boyfriend?"
"That's a great question, I'm glad you asked. I would have had to explain this to Tommy anyway so he can just listen to my answer now instead. I was scared. I was worried that it may only be a temporary thing so I was testing out how serious he was about dating me because my ex was so toxic it led me to believe no one would care about me."
"Do you mean Tommy is not your first boyfriend?"
"That's exactly what I mean. And my first and only boyfriend before Tommy was the one who put Tommy and Colby in a possibly dangerous situation." This caught Tommy's attention, his head shot up fast and stared at Jordan in complete shock and ended up spilling some of his water on Brady's pant leg.
Brady looked down and saw the state of shock that Tommy was in, so he leaned down and whispered in his ear. "I'll explain later."
Tommy looked up at Brady, "You better. I'm this close to punching someone." Tommy held his index finger and thumb close together. "Also someone better explain how Jordan came up with such a detailed story."
"It's based on a true story, if you want to know the details ask him yourself." Tommy just nodded while looking at Jordan again.
"I must say that I don't know the reason why my ex tried to threaten me with Colby and Tommy but everyone in my social circle doesn't have a good history with him so I should apologize to them for getting them involved in our personal issue." Jordan turned to the boys and lowered his head. "I owe you all my sincerest apologies. I should have told you guys before so then you wouldn't have gotten stuck in this situation."
Colby ran up beside him, "You couldn't have ever guessed he would do something like this. You never know how long he will try to hold onto you, you just have to let go."
"Colby's right, angel." Having Tommy speak up Jordan felt even guiltier, T saw this so he hugged Jordan. "Stop blaming yourself."
"He's someone who has always been good at deception and lying. Plus you dated before you knew his true nature." Brady walked up to Jordan and Jordan started crying so Brady escorted him out of the room, and Colby told Tommy to follow them and that he could finish up the event.
Tommy runs after the two who just left. They met in the staff meeting room. "Hey J, what happened down there?"
