A Grofflin Fanfic

Chapter 3

After the show that night

Lin POV

"Alright, alright that's what I'm talking about!" Anthony yells as we all walk off stage. Somehow he already found the alcohol and was handing it up. "Y'all raise a glass to Lin for creating this incredible show, you did great man" He exclaims. I smile and everyone cheers.

After we all talk for a bit I walk back to my dressing room and check my phone, somehow people found out I'm Bi and some people are being nice but I've gotten heaps of hate. I look through the messages and tweets and before I know it I'm crying. People are saying they won't see the show because of it, using slurs and insults and just being really negative. Groff walks in and I quickly turn off my phone and plaster on a fake smile.

"Groff! Great opening performance!" I exclaim.

"Yeah you were awesome! Why are you crying?" he smiles but then looks concerned.

"What? Oh nothing I'm just really happy it went well" I reply. He smiles and hugs me. "Hey I'm kinda tired can we go home?" It feel so weird saying that. I don't know how i'm gonna live with him, I like him so much, I might love him.... No I can't think like that. I'm living with him now, that means I can't be weird and I can't let him know I have feelings for him, that would ruin our whole friendship. I still can't believe Corey would cheat on him, I mean he had the best boyfriend ever and he just threw that away. It's his loss but I still feel bad for Groff. I mean I've never been cheated on but I can imagine how much it must hurt.

"Yeah of course, let's go" He smiles and starts walking out. I follow him and get in my car. He drives in front of me so I just follow him to his apartment. When I arrive I walk inside behind him. "Ok so your room is there, the bathroom's there, kitchen and living room here. oh and my room's there" He gives me a quick tour.

"Thanks again for letting me stay here Groff it means a lot" I smile, he smiles back. I walk into what I guess is now my room and sit on the bed. I really hope I can be not weird around him. Other than Anthony he's my best friend. I hear my phone go off so I pick it up. I see more hate, messages, tweets, posts. I start crying again as I read through them all.

Groff POV

I smile and Lin walks into his room. I'm happy he's living with me. Maybe that gives me a chance with him. I decide to go make sure he has everything he needs. I walk into his room and see him crying again, "Lin?" He looks up from his phone. "What's wrong?" I sit next to him and try to look at his phone but he throws it across the room and it somehow doesn't break.

"Nothing" He says quickly and wipes his face. I get up and pick up his phone which didn't turn off. I start reading what was open "No don't!" He tries to grab his phone back but he's short, ha. I start reading what's on the screen and freeze. He stops trying to take his phone.

"Lin What is all this?" I scroll through all of it and my heart breaks. Why would people do this to him? how did they even find out? Lin looks ashamed and sits on the bed. I sigh and sit next him. "How long have you been getting these?"

"Only today... a little yesterday. I'm sorry I don't know how people found out!" He starts crying. I hug him and stoke his hair gently.

"It's okay.... I'm so sorry people are sending you this. All the thing's they're saying are wrong and stupid. I'm so proud of you for stepping up and telling us who you are. You're amazing Lin, These people shouldn't get the satisfaction of getting to you."

"Th-Thank you..." He wipes is face and sits up. I look at him, I can see how much this is hurting him and it hurts me. Why would people want to hurt him like this? I went through the same thing when I came out, but it wasnt this bad.

"Please tell me if this keeps happening" He nods and smiles again. "Ok I'm gonna go have a shower and go to bed" I get up and walk into the bathroom. I have a shower then step out. Suddenly the door opens, and I see Lin. He goes red the runs out. I blush and finish getting changed. When I walk out, I dont see him, or his stuff. I text him but he leaves me on read. Where did he go?
