AN: Hello everyone! Welcome back to Hearts Collide! I am sorry I'm a bit behind on my updates. I'm now working late nights. Thank you for being patient with me.

Rachel laid in bed while Sebastian and the gang were at the hospital. HER head was spinning. How did everything spiral downward so quickly.  Why are her best friends in the hospital? She and Sebastian were fighting and she didn't know how they got here. What is the deal with Brody?

Rachel isn't blind... Brody is sexy. She is a woman and she appreciated a beautiful man.

Rachel had to admit that he had gorgeous blue eyes. But, it was not her favorite pair of green eyes. The man who set her heart on fire.... Sebastian.

He had come a long way since the snarky ass he had been in high school. But she particularly loved his ASS.  Have you seen it??

She was lost in a daze when the door bell rang. She had hoped maybe it was Sebastian. Then again he had a key to get in. 

Rachel got up to answer the door and it was......

"Brody? What are you doing here and you look hurt." Rachel asked.

"Helloooo beautiful. What? Sebastian left his little lady at home alone? Doesn't he know anything could happen to you?" Brody asked.

"I am not afraid of the big bad wolf Brody." Rachel replied.

"So you think I'm bad? So you like your bad boys, Rachel?" Brody said.

Rachel felt shivers down her spine whenever she was close to Brody and wasn't sure why. Or if it was a good or bad thing.

Don't trust Brody... Sebastian's voice playing in her head. Over and Over again.

"Sebastian is at the hospital. And I came home to rest. To be honest, I don't feel comfortable with you Brody." She admitted.

Brody laughed. "Awww Rachel did your Sebastian warn you to stay away from Me? Geez, trust issues?!" Brody said. He led her to the couch and patted his knee and had Rachel sit on his lap.

Brody stared into Rachel's eyes and fighting the sudden urge to kiss her.

Rachel knew this was wrong. Brody is not Sebastian. "What are you doing Brody?" She asked, trying to get up. Brody held her down.

"All I can think of is kissing you. And I'm going to do it." Brody said.

'What?! No please don't!" Rachel said.

"Shhh it's okay Rachel. Trust me." Brody coaxed her.

Brody leaned in, capturing Rachel's lips with his own. Rachel was stunned and kissed back for a moment until she realized his lips were wrong. They weren't Sebastian's.

Brody was definitely  great kisser and she was attracted to him. But, again he wasn't Sebastian.

[AN: It's Not Just Me by Rascal Flatts]

[Brody]

Tell me you've had trouble sleeping
That you toss and turn from side to side
That it's my face you've been seeing
In your dreams at night

Tell me that you wake up crying
And you're not sure exactly why
Tell me that something is missing
In your life, in your life baby

Tell me that you live for love
That forever is never enough
That you've waited all your life to see
That you want so badly to believe
Tell me that it's not just me

I could have sworn I saw you smile at me
Standing in the pouring rain
At a loss for words and running out of time
I said this crazy ting (crazy thing), I said

Tell me that you live for love
That forever is never enough
That you've waited all your life to see
That you want so badly to believe
Tell me that it's not just me

Hold me now and tell me that you do believe
In a soul, a soul mate
And tell me, and tell me, tell me

Tell me that you live for love
That forever is never enough
That you've waited all your life to see
That you want so badly to believe
Tell me that it's not just me

Brody sang the last verse, before leaning Rachel down onto the sofa. Rachel was in a daze. What is wrong with her. She is not a cheater. Brody has her under some kind of spell.

And the next thing she knew, one innocent kiss led to the bedroom....

Meanwhile...

Sebastian had gone to his mom's house. Colton was so excited to see his dad.

"Daddy!! I missed you. Where's mommy?" Colton asked.

Sebastian held his son a little closer. He was so glad to share parenthood with Rachel. He didn't know what was up or down lately. But, he knew no matter what happened between him and Rachel, they would always have Colton.

"She is at home buddy. I wanted to see if you wanted to come home? We will have family night. " Sebastian suggested. Honestly he needed to clear his mind. He wasn't lying. They needed Family time. He was grateful to have that.

"I want to stay with Grandad and Grammy!" Colton said, excitedly. 

Sebastian smiled. His son was so like him when he was a kid.

Sebastian thought of Rachel. He needed her. "Sure bud let's tuck you in and then I'll head home to see mommy. " he said.

After a couple of hours,  Sebastian tucked his son into bed. Then headed home. He got flowers and takeout on the way home.

A half hour later, Sebastian got to the door of the Apartment. He knocked but no answer. He used his key and walked inside.

He glanced around and no Rachel. Until he followed a trail of clothing to the bedroom door. What he saw felt like a knife all over his body.



"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Sebastian yelled.

Rachel jumped back, pulling the blankets over her. She didn't even know what the hell happened. She had just betrayed the only man she loved.

"Hi Sebby." Brody said with a smirk. 

Rachel had no words as Sebastian walked out the door with a slam. 

"Anger management may help that guy." Brody said.

Rachel cried. "Get out Brody!"

Brody smirked though his heart broke.

Rachel went into her bathroom and cried. She didn't know how to fix this one.....

AN: Wow... sorry so short. More to come...
