Do you love me....

Wait...you were kidding....?

Ray's POV

It's been about 2 months since Norman and I started dating. And I am so frickin happy, he acts like we just started dating. Like today for example, he asked me out on a date, but he had to be dramatic. He somehow convinced the ladies who work in the office to let him ask me out on the loudspeaker during lunch. If I happened to blush, well no one saw it...except for the entire gym class and teachers.

Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that he does sweet things for me, but its almost like he's trying to make up for something he did. 

But no. I am not letting any negativity whatsoever, destroy this relationship. 

*BUMP*

Ouch, what the heck just happened. One second i was standing up, and now i'm on the floor. Whatever I ran into must have been really hard, like muscle. I looked up and saw Indigo Martinez, the senior boys basketball captain.

Indigo, he's one of the most popular kids in our school. Also one of the most handsome, with his black hair with blue tips, and he kinda dresses like me. He's also one of the only popular kids who knew me and was really supportive when I came out. Considering he's Bi. He's been in our school since before I got here, and we get along pretty well.

"Damn it,' he looked down before rushing to help me up.

"I am so sorry Ray, I was just so distracted'.

"Nah, it's cool' I said before giving him a small smile," so what's on your mind, you thinking of a new play?"

He smirked at me before replying,  "A new book actually".

We stared at each other in dead silence for a few seconds before bursting out in laughter.

It was our favorite inside jokes. The first time I really talked to Indigo, was in 7th grade. He walked into the library and asked me what I was reading, to which I replied( like the edgy teen I was ), why would a dumb jock need to read?

Indigo burst out laughing, and we kept having conversations throughout the year. I even had a crush on him at one point, y'know before Norman.

"So, Ray how are you it feels like forever since we've really talked y'know?" he said giving me a smile.

"Yeah, it has been a while. But I've been doing great, how's your girlfriend, Jewel?" I asked. I promise, I would never cheat on Norman. I was genuinely curious about Jewel, when they first started dating they seemed like a good couple. But then again I haven't talked to Indigo in a while.

"Oh, uh yeah, we broke up a couple weeks ago, it just wasn't working out," he nodded along but he didn't really seem sad. Which means it was a while ago, or Jewel was like seriously annoying.

"But enough about my love life, are you dating anyone Ray?" he asked.

"Yeah, actually, I started dating Norman like 2 month's ago" I said with a smile. I stopped when I saw the look on Indigo's face. His face went through a range of emotions, surprised to concerned but it eventually settled on mad.

"Um, is everything okay Indigo?" He grabbed my hand and started pulling me away from the hall, I let him. Eventually we stopped by the big willow tree that grows in the back of the school.

"Okay Ray, I need to tell you something," he started," So did you guys start dating like a week after Norman's birthday?"

I thought about it for a second, it seemed so long ago. Eventually I replied with a hesitant yes. If I thought he looked mad before, he looked downright furious right now. He gently grabbed me by my shoulders.

"Ray, I was at Norman's birthday, and some of the people there decided to play truth or dare. And, I-I don't know how to tell you this, bu-

"Indigo, if Norman kissed someone on a dare, that doesn't matter it was before we started dating, its fine to do stuff-

"He got dared to date you..."

The world stopped, for a full minute the world stopped. Norman. My boyfriend, the person I thought genuinely liked me for me. The person who called me beautiful, when I said I was ugly. The person who made all of my insecurities fade away. Who made me feel loved...

...was dared to date me.

I felt the tears rolling down my face, I felt my heart shatter. I felt Indigo pulling me in, I could smell his minty cologne as my face was lightly shoved into his shoulder. I felt the shuddering breaths rack trough my body.

I don't know how long I cried in Indigo's arms, I honestly didn't care.

"I didn't think he'd actually do it, he seemed like he cared way too much about you, I didn't think he would.." Indigo kept whispering words into my hair.

I shoved my face into his shoulder,  and cried harder.

But I've read enough heartbreak novels. I knew this would hurt, I just didn't know how much..

'...if you didn't love me, I thought, why would you do this to me, why would you kid with my feelings'
