Yeah, I already put this on ao3 but it's going here too, I don't care

A little one shot of Jake x Chloe x Rich x Brooke and how they got together

how did you get together?

Chloe: Jake and I were always good friends. Our parents were super close so we always just... Hung out every time they met up. He was my best friend. Well, before Brooke anyway. I think it was freshman year? There was this... Horrible poem shoved into my locker. A love poem. It was so bad and cliché but I thought it was the most romantic thing ever. I mean, I told him it was stupid, but I'd go out with him. We've been on and off ever since and it hasn't been great, we've both hurt each other, but now... I think now things are good. Yeah, I'd say they're pretty good.

how did you get together?

Brooke: I think I was in love with Chloe for a while. Hopelessly in love with Chloe. I never told her, though. She was always busy with Jake or some other person and then back to Jake. I think I began to resent him for a bit. But he's stupidly nice so he made that hard. I... Don't actually know how long I was in love with Chloe or how long I tried to resent Jake. Then Chloe and I were, I guess, repairing our friendship after the... Incident happened. And then she said she was getting back together with Jake and I... I just lost it. Jake found me sulking afterwards. He just... Always seems to know what to say. And he listens. You know, he always made me feel... Important. He was always talking to me about... Me. What I liked, what I thought... And in the moment he helped me realise I was hopelessly in love with Chloe and I tried to hate him because I was jealous of him... I began to fall a little bit in love with him too. He encouraged Chloe and I to start dating while he was still dating Chloe. Then, I guess, everything else just... Fell into place when me and Jake started dating as well.

how did you get together?

Rich: It was slow. Very slow. I avoided... Basically everyone after I got out of hospital. After getting rid of the overpriced TicTac, I had a few realisations. One of them was that a lot of what I did when I had it... It was for Jake. I was one of the few to see him at his most vulnerable. And while that thing made me... Such a shitty person, he always saw good in me, I guess. I thought that would all change after I... After Halloween. He was the one to confront me. I never sought him out. And it was... Messy. But, like, a good messy. It meant we were making progress. We slowly got back into our routine. Or as close as we could get. Brooke and I were talking about their relationship and I mentioned that maybe I thought I liked Jake. A week later, her and Chloe were planning a surprise double date. I don't know how it can be a double date if Jake is dating both of them but... But it was nice. It felt... Right. And so few things have felt right, but they are the first right thing in a while.

how did you get together?

Jake: I love them a whole lot and I want to hold onto that. I want them to feel loved and that's all that matters.
