Tim & Aeden

3

A/N- this chapter has two parts, but I didn't want to separate it. But this chapter is longer :)

TW- F slur, I don't say it at all but I used it here to show hatred

Tim felt his face turn as red as a tomato and he was super embarrassed. He felt as if he was ready to cry.

"I gotta go," Tim said, running to the bathroom.

"TIM WAIT," Hallie said. She felt so bad for saying anything.

As Hallie sat at the table feeling bad, Tim went into the second stall and sat on the toilet letting his emotions run loose. He didn't want Hallie to know that he thought he might be bi and now she was eating out with him and there was nothing he could do. He sat there crying for a few more minutes before he felt his phone ring. It was from Hallie. He declined it and continued to cry on the toilet.

A few seconds later, he got a message from Hallie. "Tim the waiter wants to know what you want to eat. I'm so sorry, we can talk about this you know. I'm here for you :)," the text read.

Tim wiped off his face and realized that Hallie didn't hate him for who he was. He was still upset, but he decided to get up and go back to her. He looked at himself in the mirror before washing his face off with water. He dried it off with a towel and went back to the table. His face was still red as he saw Hallie looking directly at him. He walked over to the table and sat down.

"Are you okay?" Hallie asked.

Tim nodded. He wasn't 100% okay, but he was more okay than not. Meanwhile, the waiter noticed that Tim was back at the table and came to take his order.

"What can I get you tonight?" he asked.

"Umm-, Umm- the uhh the garlic burger meal wi-with cheese sauce," Tim said, still slightly uneasy.

"I'll get that right out for you," the waiter said.

"Thank you," Tim said.

He walked away, then Hallie looked over at Tim.

"Are you sure you're okay," Hallie said, "I'm here if you wanna talk,"

"I don't even know," Tim said, "It's all a mess,"

"Well tell me what's going through your head right now," Hallie said.

Tim sighed. "Well, umm- uhh- umm well- I might uhh nevermind I can't do this," he said, nervously.

"Tim, I think I know what you're trying to say. It's okay, there's nothing you need to worry about. I'm your best friend and best friends are here to help you," Hallie said, "So tell me what's going on,"

Tim smiled at her and tried again. "Well, this isn't easy to say, but I think I might be a little bisexual. I still love Elisha with all of my heart but then I see some guy and I think they are cute. This isn't just here and there, it's all the time. But then if I tell anyone I might be bi or heck even gay I don't know then everyone will think I led Elisha on, which I kind of did, but I still like girls I don't even know. Then I feel like I can't ever satisfy Elisha even though I love her with all of my heart. I don't even know,"

Tim started to tear up again. It was a lot for Hallie to take in but she still tried to help the best she could. She wanted to be there for him.

"Tim it's okay," Hallie said, "You know that I still love you no matter who you love. If you stay with Elisha I'm still gonna be your best friend, and if you decide that you want a boyfriend, I'm still gonna be your best friend. And PLEASE do not feel like you led Elisha on. It's not your fault at all. You thought you liked girls and you found yourself attracted to Elisha but then you realized you liked guys. Yes she might be a little hurt that her boyfriend is gay, but in the end it's better that you tell her instead of lets say, five or six months later. But take your time, I know you still want to be with her,"
