Ace's POV

You'd think I'd feel relaxed after that shower, right? Hah. Hahahaha. Hah. Aha... no, I don't.

Whoever said "sometimes a good cry fixes it", is wrong. In fact, I've never felt worse. Walking back to my room just causes more agonizing pain. Thoughts travel through my head on a train called 'Ace's childhood trauma and other current issues', what a wonderful day it is!

Still, even with the immense pile of guilt I have on my shoulders for committing "sins", I can't help but feel most of it be directed at Charlie. I had told him it was okay, and he's probably sitting home right now wondering what he did wrong.

A part of me wishes I could go back, I wish I could take last night back... but I miss him. I miss his arms, I miss his smile, I miss his fucking bed why was it so comfortable ohmygoddd, I miss-

ACE SHUT UP HES TURNING YOU INTO A GAY!

Ughhhhhh why does everything have to be so confusing.

I'm pulled out of my prison of thoughts when i see my phone light up on my bed. It's Willow again. I decide to finally check her messages

Holy fuck I must have been in the shower for like an hour.

I know I should call her back but I feel too embarrassed. She'll probably be wondering where I've been all night and question me. And then there's the fact that I have been sort of distant lately... okay I guess I'll just say I was up late cause I ran out of melatonin so I slept in.

"Ace! Finallllyyyyyyyyyyy, I was getting worried you were drunk out on a side walk or something."

"Oh haha yea no I'm fine, just uh ran out of melatonin so I had a bad sleep."

"Mhm mhm sureeeee. Cmon, tell me what really happened."

"God Willow nothing happened can we just drop the topic!!!", Okay yea that may have been a tad bit defensive but I am NOT in the mood to talk about last night.

"Okay... sorry. Wanna go to Lilo's for some coffee and donuts? I'm starving and my Moms blasting her workout music."

Ok so I have two choice right now and neither are looking great:
1) Go with Willow and potentially risk fighting over why I'm acting weird and then potentially telling her what happened and loosing her as a friend.
2) Stay home and be miserable and sulk in my sorrows for the rest of eternity and not have a donut to eat.

It just... happened? (boyxboy)Where stories live. Discover now
