Then when everything turned to shit a few weeks back, he turned up on my doorstep and did it again. He’d walk into our room and say something stupid. I just remember him being the best thing about freshman year. “Maddox has a way of lighting up lives without even trying,” I say. I can’t be sure, but I swear I hear a slight tone of jealousy in Noah’s voice. “All of them or Maddox and Damon?” I ask. They’re holding hands and laughing at Damon’s sister Stacy as she sits on the lap of that Jared guy. “They’re sickening, aren’t they?” Noah says and nods toward Maddox and Damon. We also get a little more Damon and Maddox, while Matt and Noah are still getting to know each other.

But here is a deleted scene that will give you more insight as to what really happened with them three years ago.

They got reduced to ‘mandatory appearances only’, and I hope to write them their own short story at some point so you get to see what happened there. Oops.So, amongst the many edits Trick Play went through, it was decided that Stacy and Jared did not belong in Matt and Noah’s book. Then again, neither is fooling around with him. What I don't expect is to start caring for the guy. I get to stick it to my politician dad who thinks no one is good enough for the Huntington name, and Matt's reputation of being the bad boy of football dies.

From his paranoia over being constantly photographed to his aversion to PDA, being with Matt isn't the care-free fake relationship I expected when I signed on to do this. What Damon neglected to mention is Matt is surly and bitter. Noah: Pretend to be Matt Jackson's boyfriend, my best friend said. If only my fake boyfriend wasn't Noah Huntington III - the most arrogant, entitled rich guy in the world. I'll do anything to play for the NFL again, even pretend to have a steady boyfriend. He wants me to become the poster boy for gay football players. Matt: Want to know the fastest way to get screwed out of a football career? Get photographed in a compromising position in a gay bar.
