Chapter 1. Never thought this would happen

Andrew's POV

October 12

I've known Mikey my whole life. Our parents were friends. We would always be doing things together. He was my best friend. But as our parents drifted apart our friend ship never stopped.

As we got older we never really drifted apart. We both ended up in the same friend group. We both do sports. We both have the same hobbies. We both enjoy the same music. We got really lucky.

Growing up we saw a bunch of out other friends drift away from us. But there was something special between us. I could never put my toung on it.

Until recently. I've been having weird dreams about him and daydreaming about him all the time. I had no idea why. Then I realized it was love. I loved him. All this time.

I know it was wrong. It truly was. Its wasnt natural. Two guys?

What would other people even think of me? What is wrong with me? What would my parents think? My boss?

He looked nothing like a girl. He was tall, had a very masculine face, very strong. My heart raced when ever I was around him.

And when he touched me. It felt like my heart was flying. My skin always ached, but when he touched me even in a friendly way my skin would feel like fire works. My whole body would jump. Then when he pulled away it would hurt again. My body would feel cold.

I felt like I would never feel his touch anywhere else. He could never feel the same way towards me.

At least I thought that. Until he got a little high and confessed his feelings to me at a party.

We were danceing together. Even though I like him we are still friends. I'll always see him as my friend. We do stupied shit all the time.

It was a dumb pop song. Not anything special.

When it ended he pulled me closer to him whispering in my ear

"Drew there's something I really really really really really really need to tell you." He said grabbing my hand by the wrist and gently bringing me into an empty hallway.

"Yeah sure what is it?" I ask following him.

"I-I need to tell you in private." His face went red.

"Okay." I smiled.

When we got to the destination I set down my soda.

"Whats up?" I asked.

"I..." Mikey ran his thumb over my knuckles. It was very relaxing. He was always affectionate when he was intoxicated. Always telling me how he loved that we were friends. He also gets very sensitive. I cant count the times I've made him cry while he was smoking.

"I j-just..."

"Its okay Mikey take your time. We have alot of time. " I said rubbing his hand with mine.

"I...I think I'm...in love with you." He squeezed my hand.

"W-what?" I said not knowing how to respond.

" God I'm so stupied! I shouldn't have said anything. Im so sorry. Don't be mad!" He said pulling his hands away.

"No wait!" I graded his arm.

I faced him towards me.

His face filled with tears and red from embarrassment. His lip was quivering.

"Its okay. " I stroked my hand over his face wiping his tears away.

"See I'm not mad." He looked at me and his hand went to my face. He rubbed under my eyes. My skin burning a comfortable hot where he touched.
