Here's the season 2 finale. Titled "The Wedding"


6:00 AM-

     The guys were all meeting at Marcus' house and
waiting for a driver to take them to the airport.

"I'm so excited," Jake said walking around the living
room not being able to calm down.

"I'm so tired," Kyle moaned leaning on David as the
two were sitting on the couch.

"Why are we getting to the airport so early?" Randal
asked. "Our flight isn't until 10."

"It takes such a long time at the airports now,"
Marcus replied. "We have to check-in, check our bags
in, go through security.  It just takes a lot longer
now."

"Is Trevor meeting us at the airport?" David asked.

"No, he's going to meet us in Hawaii," Marcus replied.

"You two talk much?" David asked.

"No, we just spoke quickly when he told me he'd meet
us in Hawaii," Marcus replied. "Other then that we've
stayed away from each other."

"You been okay?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah, I've been all right," Marcus replied. "Keeping
busy with the club."

"Oh by the way," Randal brought up, "I have that
proposal for you David."

"You guys don't have to give me a proposal," David
replied. "I told you that I would give you the loan."

"We just want to make sure you know that it might take
us a bit of time to pay you back in full," Marcus
replied.

"It's fine," David said. "My store is doing great, I'm
financially set.  I don't need the money back right
away."

"Thank you," Marcus said.

"Well maybe we should just give the other proposal
then," Randal said.

"What other proposal?" David asked.

"This one isn't for you," Marcus said. "It's for
Kyle."

"Huh?" Kyle moaned still half asleep. "Did I hear my
name?"

"Yeah, you might want to wake up," Randal said.

"What is it?" Kyle asked sitting up.

"How would you feel about working with us?" Marcus
asked.

"What?" Kyle asked confused.

"You need a job and we need some help," Randal
replied.

"Doing what?" Kyle asked.

"Well, we were wondering if you would want to work as
a bar tender with me," Randal said.

"You're serious?" Kyle asked.

"Yeah and you'd be working and get great tips," Marcus
said.

"Until we open though we'd like you to help us with
setting the club up," Randal said.

"Really?" Kyle asked smiling.

"Yes," Marcus replied. "What do you say?"

"Yes!" Kyle enthused giving Randal and Marcus huge
hugs.  "Thank you guys so much!"

"Of course," Marcus replied.

"That's awesome," Jake enthused.

"And it'll help us out so much," Marcus said.

"I can't wait," Kyle said.

"Well that will have to wait until we get back from
Hawaii," Marcus said. "Now let's just relax and enjoy
Tyler and Jake's big weekend."

Tyler looked over and saw Stanley sitting by himself
looking outside.  Tyler walked over and pat Stanley on
the back.

"You all right?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah," Stanley replied. "I'm great."

"You sure?" Tyler asked. "You've been really quiet."

Stanley looked over at Randal, the two of them shared
a moment of quiet desperation, but then quickly
covered it.

"I'm fine," Stanley said. "I'm just tired."

"Yeah, it is pretty early," Tyler said. "But we can
sleep on the plane and when we get to Hawaii we'll
have the day to just relax."

"Sounds great," Stanley said.

The driver finally came and the guys packed their bags
into the car and headed off to the airport.

The guys arrived in Hawaii after a five hour flight.
When they got off the plane they were all up and
energized for their first day.  They got their bags
and a couple taxis and headed off to the hotel.  Jake,
Tyler and Marcus were in one taxi and Kyle, David,
Randal and Alex were in the other.

"I love that Hawaii is three hours behind," Jake said.
"We still have the whole day left to enjoy."

"All right," Tyler said. "First thing we have to check
into our hotel and get settled in our rooms."

"Then I'm heading down to the beach," Marcus said.

"It's so beautiful here," Kyle said looking at the
bright blue sky.  He was sitting in the front seat.

"And hot," Randal said taking his jacket off he was
wearing on the plane.

"I think I'm just going to stay in the room and read
today," Stanley said.

"No way," Kyle said. "Look outside, you can't stay in
on a day like this."

"I'm kind of tired," Stanley said.

"You slept on the plane," David commented.

"I know, but I'm still beat," Stanley said.

The Kyle turned around and David looked over and
noticed that Randal and Stanley were trying as hard as
possible to keep a comfortable distance from each
other.  Kyle and David then looked at one another,
both knowing that something was up.

     When the guys all got to the hotel and checked in
they headed to their rooms to get their swim trunks on
and go to the beach.  Marcus was in his room unpacking
some stuff when Trevor walked in with his suitcase.

"Hi," Trevor said setting his bag down.

"Hey," Marcus replied.

Not sure what to do they both leaned forward and gave
each other an awkward hug.

"How was your flight?" Marcus asked.

"It was all right," Trevor replied. "You?"

"It was fine," Marcus said.

"Good," Trevor said. "What are your plans for the
day?"

"I'm going to meet the guys at the beach," Marcus
answered. "You want to come?"

"You know, I think I'm just going to hang out here for
the day," Trevor said.

"Okay," Marcus replied.

The two were quiet for a minute.

"Do you want me to get my own room?" Trevor asked.

"No, it's fine," Marcus replied. "We both paid for the
room, we should both use it."

"Okay," Trevor said. "Thanks."

"So how have you been?" Marcus asked.

"I've been okay," Trevor answered. "Just doing a lot
of thinking."

"I see," Marcus said.

"Yeah," Trevor sighed not knowing what else to say.

"Well, I'm going to head down and meet the guys,"
Marcus said.

"All right," Trevor replied.

"I'll see you later," Marcus said taking his room key
and walking out the door.

"Bye," Trevor said quietly as the door closed.

Down at the beach Kyle and David were already there
laying in the sun and talking as they waited for the
other guys.

"What do you think is wrong with Randal and Stan?"
Kyle asked.

"I don't know," David replied. "They sure don't seem
to be in a good place though."

"What worries me is that they're trying to cover it
up," Kyle said. "If they were just having a fight I
think they would have said something to us."

"I know," David agreed. "But maybe they just don't
want to talk about it yet.  I'm sure they'll be fine."

"I hope so," Kyle sighed.

"Hey guys," Marcus said coming up to them.

"Hey," David replied.

"It feels so nice out here," Kyle commented.

"Yeah, it's a beautiful day," David said.

"How's your room?" Kyle asked.

"It's good," Marcus replied. "Nice view.  Trevor just
got here."

"Oh," David said sitting up. "Did you guys talk?"

"A little bit," Marcus replied. "We didn't say much to
each other."

"So you two are going to be sharing a room together
this weekend?" Kyle asked. "Will you be okay?  You can
stay in our room if you want."

"No, I'll be okay," Marcus replied. "Thanks though."

 "Hey, have you noticed anything weird going on
between Randal and Stan?" David asked.

"What do you mean?" Marcus asked.

"They seem to be having some problems," David replied.

"I'm not too sure," Marcus said. "I do remember one
time Randal forgot to meet Stan for dinner and he
didn't seem to care too much, he just wanted to
continue working on the club."

"Really?" Kyle asked. "That doesn't seem like
something Randal would do."

"Well, he has been a little cold lately compared to
how he used to be," Marcus noted.

"I guess I really never noticed before," Kyle said.

"Me neither," David added. "When did he start acting
like that?"

"I think since the ordeal with Faith and the baby,"
Marcus said.

"He never really grieved over it," David remembered.

 "Hello," Jake interrupted walking up with Tyler.

"Hey love birds," Kyle said.

"Where's Randal and Stanley?" Tyler asked.

"Still up in the room," David replied.

"They coming down?" Tyler asked.

"I am," Randal answered walking up to them.

"Hey, where's Stan?" Jake asked.

"He's going to stay in the room," Randal simply
replied.

"Is he all right?" Jake asked.

"Yeah," Randal quickly said. "So what are we going to
do tonight?"

"Thought we'd get drinks at the bar here and then go
walk around," Tyler said.

"Sounds good to me," Randal said. "I'm up for
anything."

"Everything okay with you and Stan?" Kyle asked
quietly.

"Yeah," Randal replied. "We're fine."

The guys all shared a look with one another not truly
believing him.

Back up in the room Trevor was reading a book when his
cell phone rang.

"Hello?" Trevor answered.

"Hey it's me," Justin replied.

"Hi," Trevor said. "How are you?"

"I'm okay," Justin replied. "I'm not interrupting you
am I?"

"No, not at all," Trevor said.

"How's Marcus?" Justin asked.

"He's okay," Trevor answered. "How's Clark?"

"We broke up," Justin replied.

"You did?" Trevor asked. "How come?"

"Lots of things," Justin said. "Well, actually one
thing in particular."

"Sorry to hear that," Trevor said.

"Thanks," Justin said. "Are you in Hawaii?"

"Yeah," Trevor said.

"Oh I'm sorry, I should let you go and enjoy your
trip," Justin said.

"No, I'm just up in the room reading," Trevor said.

"By yourself?" Justin asked.

"Yeah," Trevor replied.

"I see," Justin said taking a deep breath.

"Is there something you wanted?" Trevor asked.

"All right," Justin said taking another deep breath,
"I'll just ask."

"Ask what?" Trevor asked.

"Do you think it's too late for us?" Justin asked.

"Excuse me?" Trevor asked.

"Ever since we started hanging out again I've just
realized how good we were together," Justin said. "I
know we broke up and at the time it seemed like the
right thing to do, but maybe this is a second chance
for us.  A second chance to get it right.  Do you
still have feelings for me?"

"Honestly," Trevor began, "Yes.  But I'm with Marcus
and I just don't know what to do right now.  I'm
really confused."

"So you've been thinking about it too?" Justin asked.

"Yes," Trevor honestly answered.

"I want to prove that things will be different this
time if we just give it another chance," Justin said.

Trevor didn't know what to say, he was feeling the
same things towards Justin, but he also was in love
with Marcus.

"I can't deal with this now," Trevor said. "I have to
go.  I'll call you later."

"All right," Justin sighed.

Trevor hung up and laid back in the bed not knowing
what to think, before he just had feelings for Justin
again, but didn't truly realize that the possibility
of them happening again would ever come about.

    That night, the guys decided to meet for drinks at
the bar by the pool of the hotel.  While in their room
getting ready Tyler and Jake were talking about the
wedding.

"I just can't believe that it's tomorrow," Jake said
putting on his shoes.

"I know, it went by quick huh?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah and then we'll have the rest of our lives
together after this," Jake said.

"Yup, you and me," Tyler replied.

"Before tomorrow I have to talk to you about
something," Jake said.

"What is it?" Tyler asked sitting next to Jake.

"Promise you won't freak out?" Jake asked.

"Tell me what it is first," Tyler said a little
worried.

"Okay," Jake began, "Well you know how my parents
didn't want to come?"

"Yeah," Tyler answered.

"They still sent us a wedding gift," Jake said.

"They did?" Tyler asked touched. "How sweet."

"Yeah," Tyler replied. "It was a check."

"A check?" Tyler asked confused.

"Yeah, it's a check for two million," Jake replied.

"What?" Tyler asked in shock.

"Please don't freak out," Jake replied.

"They gave you a check for two million?" Tyler asked.

"Yes," Jake answered. "Well, they gave US a check for
two million."

"Oh my God," Tyler sighed. "You know how I am with
stuff like this."

"I know, that's why I didn't tell you right away,"
Jake said. "I'm sorry, but this can be good for us."

"I don't know," Tyler said. "You should give the check
back."

"Tyler, my parents are rich, this is like pocket
change to them," Jake explained. "They just want to
make sure we'll be okay in life."

"Yeah, but two million?" Tyler asked.

"Please don't be mad at me," Jake said.

"I'm not," Tyler replied. "This is just a lot to take
in right now."

"I know," Jake said.

"We'll talk about this later," Tyler said. "Let's go
meet the guys."

"Do you hate me?" Jake asked worried.

Tyler took Jake's hands and gave him a kiss.

"Never," Tyler said. "But we need to talk about this."

"Okay," Jake said.  The two then headed out of the
room.

At the hotel bar the guys all got Mai Thai's.  Tyler
was doing his best to try and not think about the
money.

"A toast to Jake and Tyler," David said raising his
glass. "May they live happily ever after."

"Cheers," everyone said clinking glasses.

"So, last night as bachelors guys," Stanley said.
"What's on the agenda?"

"I just want us all to go out and have fun tonight,"
Jake said.

"Sounds like a plan," David said. "I plan to get drunk
off my ass tonight."

"Don't get too drunk," Kyle warned. "We can't be hung
over tomorrow for the wedding."

"Yes, please," Tyler said.

"Excuse me, which one of you is Jake Garrington?" a
hotel employee asked walking up to them.

"That's me," Jake said raising his hand.

"This is for you," he said handing Jake an envelope.

"Thank you," Jake replied taking the envelope.  He
opened it up and read a simple message written on a
piece of paper.  'I'm in the lobby. -M.'

"What is it?" Tyler asked.

"Nothing," Jake said with a grave expression. "I'll
take care of it.  Be right back guys."

Jake got up and headed into the hotel.

"What was that about?" Randal asked.

"I don't know," Tyler replied watching Jake walk off.

Jake headed into the hotel lobby and saw Miles sitting
down on a couch reading a magazine.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Jake asked
furiously.

"I need to talk to you," Miles said setting the
magazine down and standing up.

"This can't be happening," Jake said shaking his head.
"This goes beyond stalking!  You came all the way here
to ruin my wedding!"

"Can you just come walk with me real quick?" Miles
asked.

"No!" Jake replied. "You're insane and I want you to
leave me alone."

"No," Miles said quickly. "I can't do that."

"Learn," Jake said turning and walking away.

"No," Miles said grabbing Jake by the arm. "Just come
with me now."

Jake saw the fury in Miles' eyes and was suddenly
scarred.

"This is a crowded hotel," Jake said. "I can get you
thrown out by just drawing a lot of attention to us."

"Do that and I'll never leave you alone when we get
back home," Miles warned. "Now come with me for a
walk."

Jake sighed knowing he didn't have much of an option.

"Fine," Jake sighed. "But I can't be gone long.  Don't
worry, we won't be."

Jake and Miles headed down to the elevator.

Back outside at the bar the guys were talking.

"So Kyle we were thinking we can use your artistic
touch on the club," Randal said.

"What do you mean?" Kyle asked.

"We were hoping that before the club opens if you
could help us with the look of the club," Randal
replied.

"Sounds great," Kyle said happily.

"Awesome," Randal replied.

"Randal, want to go for a little walk?" Stanley asked
hoping to try and connect with him again.

"In a little, I want to talk to Kyle about the club a
little more," Randal said.

"We should talk about some things though," Stanley
said.

"Later," Randal brushed off.

"I'm going to go to the room," Stanley said getting
up. "Sorry guys, I'm not really in the mood to go out
tonight."

Stanley then headed off and back to the hotel.  The
guys watched him go and then turned back to Randal who
didn't even seem to notice.

"So, what color do you think would look good for the
club?" Randal asked.

"Are you kidding me?" David asked.

"What?" Randal asked.

"Your boyfriend just went up to his room," Marcus
said.

"So?" Randal asked.

"He did because was hurt," Marcus replied. "Go up
there and talk to him."

"I will later," Randal said.

"No, now," Kyle said. "What's wrong with you?"

"You've were so cold to him right now," Tyler pointed
out.

"Talk to him before you lose him," David warned.

"I will when I go to the room tonight," Randal
justified.

"No, now," Tyler said. "Go."

"But I thought we were going out tonight," Randal
said.

"Don't be an ass," David snapped. "Go talk to him
now."

Randal knowing he was cold to Stanley, was afraid to
face him, but knew he had to.  He got up and headed to
the room.

"And then there were four," Marcus remarked.

"Jake's been gone for a while," Tyler noticed.

"Yeah, where is he?" David asked.

"Dammit!" Kyle remembered.

"What?" David asked.

"David, did you write your best man's speech for
tomorrow?" Kyle asked.

"No," David remembered sighing.

"Me neither," Kyle said.

"We better go do that," David said getting up. "I
guess we won't be getting drunk tonight.  Sorry.
We'll see you guys tomorrow."

"Night," Tyler sighed.

Kyle and David went up and headed to the room.

"Not exactly how I thought tonight would go," Tyler
said.

"Well, as long as tomorrow goes well that's all that
matters," Marcus said.

"Marcus, did Jake tell you about the wedding gift from
his parents?" Tyler asked.

"No," Marcus replied.

"His parents gave us money," Tyler said.

"That's nice of them," Marcus replied.

"It was two million," Tyler said.

"What?!" Marcus asked shocked.

"Yeah," Tyler replied. "They gave us two million
dollars."

"Talk about generous," Marcus said.

"Too generous," Tyler said. "You know how I am with
money."

"I know," Marcus replied. "So what are you going to
do?"

"I don't know," Tyler answered. "Jake wants to keep
it."

"You don't want to keep it?" Marcus asked.

"I feel like if I do then I'd be in dept to them
forever," Tyler replied.

"You're not," Marcus said. "It was a gift from them to
you guys.  You didn't ask for it.  They gave it
willingly."

"But still, I was raised so differently from Jake,"
Tyler said. "I wasn't raised around money like this."

"So?" Marcus asked.

"It's just starting to make me wonder if this will
cause problems between Jake and me," Tyler said.

"Problems like what?" Marcus asked.

"I just wonder if our class difference will make it
hard with this money," Tyler said.

"Are you having second thoughts about this wedding?"
Marcus asked gravely.

"I don't know," Tyler replied. "I really don't know."

Up at the hotel Jake and Miles went into Miles' room.

"Sit down," Miles ordered.

Jake went and sat down at the desk.

"What is it?" Jake asked.

"I want to make one last plea to you," Miles said.

"What?" Jake asked. "I already told you no.  I'm with
Tyler and I'm happy with him.  There isn't even a
question of who I want to be with, I want him."

"Think about this for a minute," Miles said. "Remember
that kiss we had together.  You wouldn't have kissed
me if you didn't feel something towards me, and you
were with Tyler back then too, but you still did it.
You and I have something."

"It was a moment of weakness," Jake said.

"No," Miles denied. "It was a moment that told you
that we are good together."

"Miles, get this through your head," Jake said getting
frustrated. "It is never going to happen so just get
over it and move on with your life."

Jake then got up and headed for the door.

"You're pathetic," Jake said and walked out.

Miles sighed, defeated, he then reached in his pocket
and pulled out a bottle of sleeping pills...

Back down at the bar Marcus and Tyler were still
talking when Jake came back.

"Finally you return," Marcus said.

"Where were you?" Tyler asked.

"Just had some stupid stuff to get out of the way,"
Jake said.

"Everything all right?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Jake replied. "Where is everyone?"

"Randal and Stanley are talking in their room, and
Kyle and David went to write their best man speeches,"
Marcus explained.

"I see," Jake said. "So what are we doing?"

"Should we go walk around?" Tyler suggested.

"Maybe you two should talk a little," Marcus said
quietly to Tyler.

"No, we'll be fine," Tyler replied.

"About what?" Jake asked.

"Nothing," Tyler replied. "Come on, let's go."

The guys got up and headed to check out Waikiki.

Up in Randal and Stanley's room the two were sitting
across from one another.

"Why can't you talk to me anymore?" Stanley asked.
"You used to be able to say anything to me."

"I don't know why you keep insisting that something is
wrong," Randal replied. "I told you that I'm fine."

"No you're not!" Stanley snapped. "You've been a
complete ass to me, and it seems to be only directed
towards me.  What did I do?"

"Nothing," Randal replied. "I just have a lot of
things to take on right now."

"No, it's more then that," Stanley said. "You always
are pushing me away.  How long will this go on?"

Randal didn't say anything.

"Does it have to do with your niece?" Stanley asked.

"I told you last time not to talk about her," Randal
warned.

"Is it?" Stanley asked.

"Just leave me alone," Randal shot back avoiding the
question.

"When was the last time you talked to Faith?" Stanley
asked.

"I told you to leave me alone," Randal replied. "I
don't want to talk about it and I don't want to deal
with you."

"You don't want to deal with me?" Stanley asked
incredulous.

"No," Randal said cooly.

Stanley shook his head, "I can't do this anymore."

"What?" Randal asked.

"It's too much, this has just been way too much for
me," Stanley replied. "I can't do it anymore."

"What are you saying?" Randal asked.

"I give up," Stanley said. "You keep pushing me away
and I just can't let this happen anymore."

"Are you saying-" Randal began.

"It's over," Stanley said sadly.

Later that night at around 10 PM, David and Kyle were
still up in the room.  Kyle was almost done with his
speech while David was still sitting with a blank
piece of paper.

"How's it going?" Kyle asked.

"I still haven't written a damn word," David said
frustrated.

"You haven't?" Kyle asked surprised. "We've been up
here for three hours."

"I know and I have nothing," David said crumpling the
piece of paper and throwing it across the room. "How
are you doing?"

"Almost done," Kyle said. "Wants some help?"

"No, I want to write this myself," David said. "Thanks
though."

"Okay," Kyle replied.

"I don't see why this is so hard," David said.
"They're my best friends, I should have millions of
things to say."

"Just a little case of writers block," Kyle said. "You
just need to relax a little bit."

"I need a drink," David said. "I think I'm going to go
get a drink, you want to come?"

"No, you go ahead," Kyle replied. "I want to finish
this up real quick."

"All right," David said giving him a kiss. "I'll be
back in a little bit."

"Don't worry babe," Kyle said, "The words will come to
you."

"Hope so," David said as he grabbed his room key and
wallet and left the room.

Outside David went to the bar by the pool only to find
that it was closed, so he went outside of the hotel
and walked down the street until he spotted a bar
called 'Island Rainbow.'  He walked in and saw a bunch
of guys in there, a gay bar.

"Can I get you a drink?" the bar tender asked as David
sat down.

"Vodka rocks," he replied.

"You got it," the bar tender answered.

"Pretty heavy drink your ordering by yourself," a guy
across the bar said to him.

"Need to relieve some stress," David replied.

"I see," the guy said, he was 6 ft., dark hair, tan
skin, wearing a Hawaiian shirt, board shorts, and
sandals. "You a local?"

"No, just visiting," David replied.

"Where you from?" he asked.

"California," David answered.

"Nice," the guy said extending his hand, "I'm Johnny."

"David," David said shaking his hand.

"Mind if I join you?" Johnny asked sitting next to
David.

"I have a boyfriend," David said.

"That's cool bra," Johnny said then laughed, "I have a
couple myself."

"Well, I only have one and plan to keep it that way,"
David said as the bar tender gave him his drink.

"It's all good," Johnny said. "We can just hang out."

David rolled his eyes as he took a sip of his drink.

"Hey, you mind handing me some of those nuts," Johnny
said pointing the bowl of peanuts down the bar a
little from David.  David turned and reached for the
bowl, as he did Johnny quickly slipped a little tablet
into David's drink.

"Here," David said handing Johnny the bowl.

"Thanks bra," Johnny said.

By the time David looked down at his drink, the tablet
had already dissolved, he then took another sip and
continued to think of what to write for his speech.

A few streets down, Marcus, Tyler and Jake were at a
local gay club.

"You sure you want to be here?" Tyler asked Marcus, "I
can tell your thinking about Trevor."

"There's nothing I can do," Marcus said. "It's up to
him now."

"He'll come around," Jake said.

"Yeah and when he does maybe you should be there to
talk to him some more," Tyler suggested.

"Maybe you're right," Marcus said, a little hesitant
about going back to the hotel room. "I'm scarred to be
around him though."

"Why?" Tyler asked.

"I'm worried that when I am he'll turn to me and tell
me that he wants to be with Justin," Marcus replied.

"I don't think he will," Jake said, his cell phone
then started vibrating, "Hello?"

"Jake, it's me," Miles said in a groggy voice.

"I'll be right back guys," Jake said to Tyler and
Marcus as he walked outside the club. "What do you
want now?"

"I've just taken some pills," Miles slurred.

"You did what?" Jake asked mortified.

"If you love me, come here and save me," Miles
replied.

"You took a bunch of pills to try and win me?" Jake
asked.

"I don't have much time," Miles said. "Please,....save
me, save us."

Jake took a minute to think about his option, he could
save Miles, but knew that he would never give up on
him, or he could hang up the phone and go back inside
and be done with Miles for good.

Back inside the club Tyler and Marcus were still
talking.

"Well, before I go back to the hotel did you want to
talk anymore about the money situation?" Marcus asked.

"No," Tyler replied. "No matter what I love Jake.
That's all that should matter right?"

"Right," Marcus answered. "You guys can figure the
whole money situation out later."

"Exactly," Tyler said.

Right as he said that Jake walked back up to them.

"Hey, who called?" Tyler asked.

"No one important," Jake replied.

"Well, I'm going to head back to the hotel," Marcus
said.

"Good luck," Tyler said.

"Night guys," Marcus said.

He then left, leaving Tyler and Jake alone together.

"Everything okay?" Tyler asked.

"Everything is perfect," Jake replied giving Tyler a
kiss.  The two then hugged, Jake held onto Tyler
tightly knowing that in a way he just killed Miles.

When Marcus got back up to the room Trevor was asleep
in bed.  Marcus got ready for bed and slid into bed
next to him.  Still sleeping Trevor cuddled up to
Marcus.  Marcus wrapped his arms around Trevor and
kissed him on the forehead.

"Justin," Trevor sighed in his sleep.

Feeling like a knife was just plunged into his heart
Marcus leaned his head back feeling defeated and
stayed awake most of the night...

The next day David woke up groggily, he looked around
and noticed that nothing in the room was familiar.  He
saw surfing posters on the walls, and a bunch of
clothes lying around.

"Where am I?" David asked confused.

"Morning," Johnny said laying next to him.

"What the hell?" David asked in shock jumping out of
bed. "What the fuck happened?"

"You don't remember?" Johnny asked. "We were able to
go for hours last night."

"What?" David asked. He then looked down and noticed
he was naked and looked over at Johnny and realized he
was naked to. "Oh my God."

"I have to get to a class in a bit though so I'm going
to need you to leave soon, but thanks.  It was fun,"
Johnny said.

"Did we have sex?" David asked as he quickly found his
clothes and started putting them on.

"Of course," Johnny said indifferently.

"Why don't I remember?" David asked.

"I don't know," Johnny replied playing dumb.

"What time is it?" David asked.

"Nine," Johnny replied.

"Oh my God," David said as he quickly ran out of
Johnny's apartment.

David ran outside and looked around the busy streets,
he looked down the street and saw the hotel.  He then
started to panic, not knowing what to do or what to
say to Kyle.

Back at the hotel Trevor woke up and saw Marcus
sitting on the balcony looking at the ocean.

"Hi," Trevor said walking up to him.

"Morning," Marcus replied.

"How are you?" Trevor asked.

"I've been better," Marcus replied.

"Marcus, I'm so sorry for what I've been putting you
through," Trevor said.

"You said his name last night," Marcus said.

"What?" Trevor asked.

"In your sleep," Marcus replied. "You said his name."

"I did?" Trevor asked guiltily.

"Yeah," Marcus replied. "You chose him didn't you?"

"I don't know," Trevor replied. "It's just that with
him I feel one way and with you I feel another."

"I don't want to pressure you," Marcus began, "But
you're going to have to chose soon, because this is
starting to kill me."

Marcus then got up and headed towards the bathroom.

"I'm going to start getting ready for the wedding,"
Marcus said.

"I think it would probably be best if I didn't go,"
Trevor said. "I think I'll just stay up here."

Marcus sighed and went to the bathroom and closed the
door.

Over in Kyle and David's room, David walked in and
Kyle hurried over to him.

"Where were you?" Kyle asked. "I woke up this morning
and you still hadn't come back.  Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," David replied hugging Kyle.

"I got so worried," Kyle said. "What happened?"

"I just-" David began, but then he realized he
couldn't bring himself to tell Kyle to truth, "I just
sat at the beach the whole night trying to think of
what to say for my speech."

"You get the speech done?" Kyle asked hopeful.

"Yeah, yeah, it's done," David lied and then brought
Kyle in for another hug not knowing what else to do.

"Well, come on, we should start getting ready for the
wedding," Kyle said.

"Good idea," David replied and headed to the bathroom
to shower.

     The time had finally come, Tyler was in his room,
just got done getting ready and was looking in the
mirror to make any final adjustments.

"Hey," David said knocking on the door as he slowly
opened it.

"Hi," Tyler replied.

"You ready?" David asked.

Tyler nodded and smiled, "Yeah, let's do this."

"All right, let's go," David said patting Tyler on the
back as the two headed out.

Over in Jake's room he was looking in the mirror and
despite everything he tried to say to himself to
convince him otherwise, he saw nothing but a murderer.

"You all set?" Kyle asked opening the door.

Huh?" Jake asked snapping back into reality.

"You all set?" Kyle repeated.

"Oh yeah," Jake said getting up and they both headed
for the door, but then Jake grabbed Kyle's arm. "Kyle,
wait!"

"What?" Kyle asked surprised. "What is it?"

Jake didn't say anything, he just looked at Kyle with
a look of panic on his face.

"Please don't tell me you're getting cold feet," Kyle
said worried.

"No, it's not about Tyler," Jake said. "I need to tell
you something, but you have to promise me you won't
say anything to anyone."

"Of course," Kyle replied.

Jake then proceeded to tell Kyle everything about what
happened with Miles.

Over in Randal and Stanley's room the two finished
getting dressed and were both not sure what to do or
say.

"So, should we tell them?" Stanley asked.

"No," Randal replied. "This is Tyler and Jake's day, I
don't want to ruin that."

"I think you're right," Stanley said.

"We'll just go to the wedding and act normal and then
when we go home in a couple days, we'll proceed from
there," Randal said.

"Okay," Stanley said sadly.  Randal and Stanley looked
at each other, both unable to believe that their
relationship is really over.

     A couple rooms down Marcus was getting ready to
head out when he looked in the bedroom and saw Trevor
sitting on the edge of the bed starring blankly at the
wall, not sure what to do or who to choose.  Marcus
sighed and slowly walked out of the room.

     Finally, the moment arrived.  On a private beach
the guys were standing as Tyler and Jake walked down
the aisle hand in hand.  Even though all of the guys
had their own share of problems they couldn't help but
smile and be happy for them.  As they were walking
down Kyle looked over at David and smiled, he was so
in love with David and even though he'd been scared in
the past, seeing Tyler and Jake together makes the
idea of marriage sound pretty good.  David smiled
back, but when Kyle turned his attention back to Tyler
and Jake his smile quickly faded and a look of total
guilt washed over his face.  Tyler and Jake finally
made their way up to the priest and he began the
ceremony.

     All the guys looked on and as they watched Tyler
and Jake forge a new future together, they all began
to contemplate their own future.  Marcus looked on and
wondered what was going to happen with him and Trevor,
Randal and Stanley both glanced at one another, both
having to face an uncertain future and a future with
out one another, David wondered if Kyle will ever find
out what happened with him and the guy from the bar
and if he does, what will happen to them, Kyle looked
over at Jake and realized what a heavy burden was
placed on him with what Jake had told him and
realizing that not only is Jake in trouble, but Kyle
now has to keep this big secret from David, Tyler
looked on and hoped that the money issues would not
interfere with their marriage, and Jake stood there
realizing that while his new life was beginning with
Tyler, he has to live with the fact that he is a
murderer.

     On a day that was supposed to be nothing, but
happiness all the guys were feeling nothing but worry
to what the future might hold..........
