Rico looked at Jackson tearfully from across the room. He didn't know how exactly to approach him. Jackson was on the couch his whole body was shaking. He could hear him sobbing from where he stood. He knew why this was. Sienna had broke his heart. She had to leave him. She had to move to Paris for a job as a model. On the way to Paris however tragedy struck and the plain she was in had crashed and burned. Jackson had lost the love of his life. Rico wanted to tell Jackson just how much he meant to him, how he always had and wanted to be there for him. He was mad at Sienna for taking away his best friend to begin with. Seeing them together made him so angry. He never confessed his true feelings to him, to Miley or anyone else. But he had to know how Rico felt now. He had to know he was there for him. He had to know how much he cared.

Rico went over to Jackson and sat next to him very close, and set a hand on his knee. Jackson sobbing stopped slowly. He looked at Rico tearfully. He didn't say anything to him. He couldn't. There was too much pain in his throat. Rico with his hand stroked Jackson's tear away. Jackson closed his eyes and breathed heavily. What was happening here? Was Rico? Was Jackson? He loved his touch but he knew he shouldn't have it. Sienna died! His first serious girlfriend! But then he was allowing Rico to lean in. He could feel his breath. Jackson shook a little from sobbing still when Rico took his neck in his hand. Oh God his hand was so warm and soft. He remembered holding it a little when Rico had handed him the piece of paper which contained information about his new job! In those brief moments of holding it he liked it. He liked it even more on his skin now. Jackson's head turned and their lips crashed against each other. Softly at first but then with much urgency. Then their tongues began to have some action. Rico massaged his tongue with his own and stroked his soft brown hair. It was getting heavy when...

"What the hell! Get off me!" Jackson shouted shoving Rico off him so he fell to the floor.

"You...you were kissing me back Jackson! I would never have done it if you wouldn't have let me!"

"I have a girlfriend! I hate you!"
"Oh really I thought for once you liked me Jackson. I thought for once you appreciated me. I'm sorry about what just happened."

"GET OUT! NEVER COME HERE AGAIN! YOU GOT THAT!"

"FINE! I'M NOT SORRY SHE DIED THEN! SHE MADE ME SICK! SHE MADE ME SICK SEEING YOU WITH HER!" Jackson stared at him overwhelmed and sweaty.

"What?"

"I love you okay? I love you and I'm sorry!" He sobbed and dashed away from him and out the door slamming it behind him. Rico loved him? Like that? For how long? Since he and Sienna got together? Longer? His head still hurt from grief but now there was new grief too. He had just lost Rico too. He would never recover from this, never.
