One True Love

Chapter 6

(Its the next day)

Connor's Point of View:

I arrive at Ricky's house. He is always nice to hang around when Im not feeling like myself.

*knock knock* Ricky Answers*

"Hey Connor!" Ricky says.

"Hey Ricky, whats up?" I reply.

"Oh, nothing much. Come in." He says.

I do accordingly.

"Yea I'm just finishing some editing for my new video." Ricky says as I walk to the couch.

"Oh, ok. Take your time, No rush."

—-5 minutes later——

"Ok, I'm done." Ricky says.

"Oh, cool." I say.

"So, whats up? Hows life?" Ricky asks, sitting on the couch with me now.

"Oh nothing much, Im guessing you've seen my latest video."

"Oh, yea. That was really brave of you." Ricky says.

"Thanks, anyways since that video my emotions have been all over the place." I say.

"Oh, maybe I could help you. Tell me whats on your mind." Ricky says, trying to be a good friend.

"Well ever since I posted my coming out video, and accepted this person thats the real me, I've been seeing some people in a different way then I had before."

"And how would you describe this different feeling you are having for these people?" Ricky asks.

"Im not completely sure, some of them make me feel really happy inside, others I just feel really out of place around." I continue.

"Well, have you ever considered the fact that you might have strong feelings for one of them, and thats why you feel this way?" Ricky says trying to make sense of what im saying.

"Well, Whenever I am around tyler, i feel special and safe around him."

"Oh my gosh!" Ricky says.

"What?" I ask, confused.

"You like Tyler!" Ricky says, shocked.

"I do?" 

"The way you just described how you felt around him, its obvious there is a special connection between you two!" Ricky said.

"Its not an impossible situation, it sorta does make sense. We are really close to each other, he cares about me a lot, more than most people.Maybe I do like Tyler." I say.

"Oh my gosh, you two would make such a cute couple! So when are you going to tell Tyler?" Ricky says.

"The thing about that is I don't even know if he likes me back or not."

"Well I can take care of that." Ricky says.

"How?" I ask.

Ricky pulls out his phone and starts typing, Im sitting here wondering what his plans are.

"Done!" Ricky says, showing me his phone. He sent a text to Tyler that reads "Do you like Connor?"

"Did you really just text him that?!?"

"Yep." Ricky says.

"Why?" I ask.

"Why not? Its better to do it no—

Ricky was interrupted by a beeping phone.

"He responded, what did he say?" I ask, anxious to know.

"I don't know lets see." Ricky insists.

I stand behind him as he picks up his phone and opens the text message.

It read "Yea I guess, why do you ask? -Tyler"

Ricky texts back saying "No reason, just wondering."

"Oh my gosh, Tyler likes me." I say while pacing around the room, fanning myself.

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh." I continue.

"Calm down." Ricky says.

"You need to respond to this in an orderly manner, which just means don't freak out." Ricky says, trying to calm down.

"How can I not freak out!? THE Tyler Oakley likes me! How can somebody not freak out about that!?"

"How about we talk a walk, I will buy you some ice cream and go to Veggie grill to calm yourself down." Ricky suggests.

"Yea, I guess I could eat."

"Then lets go!" Ricky says.

Tyler's Point of View:

The weirdest thing just happened to me. I was in my room on twitter and then I get a text from Ricky asking if I like Connor. Obviously I do, but Im not exactly sure why he's asking me this. I respond saying "Yea, I guess, why?" Im very interested in why he wants to know at this point.

He responds with "No reason, just wondering." I could tell he was hiding something from me. He almost never texts me without a reason for it. I leave it be for now, but will dig more into this later. Im going to find out Ricky's reasoning for this.
