They're quite different. Leave a comment telling which one you liked better or which one you read. I do like reading everyone's feedback! Thank you and enjoy the story!

Ever since you met Sal, he was the type of boyfriend to easily get jealous when other guys would talk to you. He would make sure that any guy that seemed to take an interest in you was aware that you were not available. It definitely would bother you sometimes he was extremely overprotective of you. You didn't want to tell him that because you were afraid to hurt his feelings but you still wanted to try to talk it out with him somehow.

It wouldn't be as much of an issue if you weren't an outgoing and friendly person. Being a people person means that you talk to a lot of different people throughout the course of a day and a good amount of them were men. Usually you won't tell Sal about many interactions you had with other guys because he would start to get noticeably uncomfortable about it and tell you to stay away from them.

It began to really pick up about a year into your relationship. At first he would tell you to not talk to the guys a lot until you were comfortable with them when he was around. Then it became that if he saw you talking to a considerably good looking guy while you were out in the city, he would hold your hand (if he wasn't already) or put his arm around your waist and hold you close. He wanted to always make sure that the person you were talking to knew that you were already happy with someone. A lot of times it wouldn't bother you. Normally Sal wasn't one to show PDA in public except the occasional hand holding. Him hugging you closely felt so different, but you didn't mind, it was nice.

Sal even realized that he was being a little too over the top with being jealous and overprotective. He assured you that it wasn't him trying to be mean. He just didn't want to lose you to some guy when he could have stepped in and stopped it from happening. It's one of his biggest fears. Despite the fact that you already talked about it, it was a hard topic to bring up. You didn't want to start an argument with him if you said the wrong thing.

The first time that he was noticeably jealous was one day when you surprised him by showing up at set. Joe, Q, and Murr had an idea planned out for you. They were planning Sal's punishment and decided that it would be perfect if you could help out with it since they knew some of his weaknesses. The punishment was similar to the challenge where the guys were holding an interview and the wall opened behind the person and they couldn't laugh. Except this time, it was only Sal doing it, there was no interview, and the punishment was he wasn't allowed to scream or get mad. He just had to sit there quietly and patiently and watch the wall open up. Every time he would get really mad, they would have another skit planned. They would keep going until they either ran out of skits or he kept his anger to himself.

You were there for the entire punishment. One of the ideas the guys had was to bring Q's cats over to Sal's house and have them roll around on the furniture and on the rugs and they took pictures of the cats. They hung the pictures around in the little room. Sal got very frustrated and only muttered a "c'mon what the f*** guys". It wasn't in a mad tone, it sounded more like a disappointed tone. It still counted as getting angry. You had no idea at what point you were helping out. Murr and Joe had some funny ideas to do together first.

"Alright, I'm up," Q said into the microphone. He signaled for you to follow him. You knew what you had to do. "Just keep going with it even if he gets mad," Q told you. You and Q both told each other that it's for the show. You weren't going to let this ruin your relationship with Sal and you didn't want it to damage Sal and Q's friendship.

You and Q got where you needed to be in the room. Joe kept muttering "this is bad, this is awful," over and over again. He was covering his mouth in nervousness. Murr seemed anxious about it too, but all three of them came up with this idea to have you come in together.

"You got this," Q said to you. It was a little obvious that you were nervous. You nodded. You were facing Q and you put one hand on his cheek and the other on his shoulder. He put his hands just above your waist on your lower back. He pulled you in a little bit closer and you started kissing. The wall was cued to open as soon as you started kissing. You also had an earpiece in and you could hear what Sal was saying. At first he wasn't saying anything. He was completely speechless. You and Q kissed more passionately and he was moving his hands swiftly around your back while you held him tighter and had your hands resting on his back. Q looked and winked at Sal while kissing you.

"Oh what the hell is going on. What is your issue Q?" You heard Sal say. You and Q knew that every time Sal got more mad, that you would kick it up a notch. It then became a full-out make out session with Q. Things got pretty heated between you two but of course it meant nothing.

"What the actual f***. I can't do this. Q get off of her!" Sal says. He gets up out of his chair and he knocks it over. He goes back to where Joe and Murr were.

"Sal why are you back here bud? It's your punishment, you can't refuse!" Joe tells him.

"Yeah but I'm not watching my best friend make out with my girlfriend. Who knows what'll happen next!"

"I mean if this keeps up, I can guess," Murr says with a snark. You and Q stopped and came back to the back area where Sal was when you heard him go back. His face was beet red and he was shaking his head slowly in disappointment.

"How could you do this to me! Never conspire with them! Thank god this was just for the show and you weren't really having a good ol' time with Q over there!"

"Man I'm sorry I really am. I didn't know that you would get this mad. We couldn't see you so we couldn't see what your reactions were like until you started talking," Q explains. Sal pulls you over closer to him and he kisses the top of your head. He holds your waist gently.

"Sal you know I love you and I would never ever make out with Q like that. He's your best friend and I love you." You try to kiss him but he stops you.

"Ew don't kiss me, Q's lips have touched yours, any other day I would kiss you, but you've just had some kissy time with Q." Sal still had some anger in his voice. You decided to end his punishment there just because of how brutal it was.

After you and Sal got home after a silent car ride, he still refused to talk to you. You tried everything to get him to talk.

Ending Option 1:

"Sal, please just listen to me. It was a stupid joke, you know I'd never actually mean it!" You exclaim. Tears were running down your face and your eyes were burning. Sal still was trying to ignore you. You didn't want to come off as annoying and desperate so after saying that, you stopped trying for a while.

Sal was sitting on the opposite side of the couch reading a magazine. He kept glancing at you. He could sense the frustration in your eyes. It was clear that he was starting to become less mad and he began wanting to apologize for shutting you out. He turned back to the magazine. His face started to get red. Of course you noticed and you pointed it out.

"Sal, are you okay? Your face is bright red," you said in a gentle voice. He looked up and in addition to his face being red, his eyes were bloodshot.

"It's just I really love you and watching you act like you were in love with someone else really hurt. It was unbearable to see," he explained to you. You reached over and held his hand.

"I promise you that it didn't mean anything. Q and I told each other that it was just for the show. No matter how much kissing and touching we did, it didn't mean a thing. I cross my heart."

"Just watching the way that Q was holding you and the way that you were touching him just looked so natural for both of you. It didn't look staged at all. It was almost like you two had made out before and you knew exactly how to hold each other."

"Well I can tell you," you said cracking a little smile, "that we both had no idea what we were doing and we never made out with each other before that. He was even nervous that he would take it too far too quickly." Sal felt a little more relieved after you said that.

"It's also that Q is such a ladies man. He seems to always be able to get a girl to hook up with him and I didn't want it to be you. I sorta don't blame those girls. He's funny, he's gentle, he's chill, he's super brave, heck he was even a firefighter. I'd say that alone is enough to get a girl. I'm nothing compared to him," he told you.

"Sal, I don't look for a guy that's like Q," you say scooting yourself closer to Sal, "I love you for who you are. You're not afraid to be yourself, you're hilarious, loving, and kind. I love you for who you are and that's why I'm not dating anyone else."

"Still, I'm nothing compared to him. I'm just surprised I didn't actually lose you to him when you guys had your little scene. Just by the way he touched you, it seemed like you really enjoyed it and it seemed like he enjoyed it too. He's a very physical guy and I was too afraid he would take it too far. You know I'm not as much of a physical guy. I just want to make sure we don't go too fast that you get uncomfortable. Seeing you and Q like that made me want to step in and tell him he was taking it too far. I couldn't tell how you felt during the whole thing."

"It was all staged and since I knew that, I didn't let the scene bother me or my feelings for you. We both knew that it might get to the point of making out. I have no control over how he felt, but I know I didn't enjoy it as much as when I do this," you leaned over and gave him a kiss and you put your hand on his shoulder. When you backed up, he smiled at you.

"Wow," he said. It wasn't the first time you had kissed him, but to him it was the most meaningful.

"When I'm with you, that's the only time the cliché fireworks explode and I feel like time freezes. Earlier, I felt absolutely nothing with Q. No fireworks, no nothing. It felt boring It didn't even feel nice to be held like that since it wasn't you holding me like that. That's just because I only have feelings for you. I really love you Sal."

"I love you too y/n," he whispered before pulling you into a deep kiss. He held your waist and you had your hands on his back...

Note: I really liked this ending and I wanted to make sure that it ended nicely. Of course, like most of my work, the ending is ambiguous so you can come up with your own final ending. If you want, comment below what you think would happen or if you liked this ending.

Ending Option 2:

"Y/n I just can't believe you'd conspire against me and do that. Especially with Brian! You know I get jealous easily and you used it against me just to piss me off!"

"Sal, I really am sorry, it was just a joke. I didn't know it would hurt you this much." You tried to be nice and relaxed but he was starting to anger you more.

"No, you knew it would. I bet you just wanted a reason to make out with Q," he snapped. You glared at him. You were truly offended by that. At no point have you ever thought about cheating on Sal with anyone, especially his best friend.

"Sal how could you?! You know I love you and I'm committed to our relationship. I'd never do that on purpose!" You shouted. He rolled his eyes at you and he wasn't believing you.

"Forget it. Let's just leave it for now. It was for the show. The guys take everything too far," he said, still not satisfied with the conversation.

"Okay." Your phone vibrated. You got a text. Your phone was on the table that was next to the couch. Sal glanced over to see who it was. He could see the text was from Q and the preview showed "hey y/n what's..." and it cut off after there. Sal's first instinct was that it was going to be a flirty text.

"What did Q say?" Sal asked, obviously annoyed. You unlocked your phone and read the text, "hey y/n what's going on with Sal? Is he doing okay? He hasn't been answering my calls". Sal seemed relieved that Q wasn't hitting on you. You texted him back.

"He's just a little upset now. We haven't been able to clear anything up". You put your phone back down on the table.

"I'm sorry Sal. I love you so much, you mean so much to me." Sal smiled a little bit. Your phone buzzed again. You looked over at it to see that it was Q. It buzzed again 5 seconds later. Sal gave you a look as if to tell you to read it. You went into your messages and read the message before reading it aloud to Sal.

"If something does work out with you and Sal, ya know..."
"Call me ;)"

You inhaled deeply through your nose and tried to hide the look on your face. Sal didn't give you any time before asking,

"Well what did he say?"

"Um I don't feel comfortable talking about it. Or even reading it again," you tell him. You put your phone next to you on the couch and Sal picked it up and read what Q said. You started to tear up. Sal got off the couch and declared,

"We need to take a little break I think. I need to collect myself. I'm packing a bag and going to Joe's. Goodbye y/n." Despite sounding mad, he did give you a hug before leaving. "It's not us that's the issue, I promise you that, I just need time to regroup and collect my thoughts. I'll call or text you eventually. And don't go making out with Q, he's a bit of a jerk when it comes to stuff like that."

"Bye Sal," your voice cracked as you managed to talk through the tears. The sound of him slamming the front door brought you to having a meltdown. You slammed your head down on the couch and cried into it. Angrily you picked up your phone and texted Q back,

"Thanks a lot man"

You put your phone down on the couch and cried more. Your phone kept buzzing with text messages from Q

"Something happened didn't it? You never call me 'man'"
"Y/n I'm here for you. You know when we agreed to do that we didn't mean for it to hurt you and Sal"
"I can help you get him back if you want"
"Or I can be here for you either as a friend or something more..."

You were disgusted by the fact that Q was trying to flirt with you when you and Sal just had a major argument 5 minutes before. You missed Sal and you wanted to work things out, but you also were started to feel withdrawal from not being with someone. Even though you and Sal just split, you and him had been distant for a while. You started to hope something would happen to make the relationship better which didn't work out.

"Q can you come over? I kind of need someone"

You sent him the text. You knew you just needed someone but you weren't sure what you needed...

Note: I wanted to leave this as a cliffhanger because you could either have your own ending to it or I could make a part two to this ending if you wanted to. If you have a prediction, feel free to put it in the comments. Will Sal and y/n get together or will they fall apart?? Leave a comment saying your opinion and/or if you want me to continue this! I'm happy to make a part two, I already have ideas for it.
