Once I got in the bathroom and shut the door, I sank to the floor crying like a baby because someone had discovered my biggest secret. That happening was my biggest fear. I was careful to stay silent though because I didn't want Eliza to know I was crying, its not "manly".

After a minute or two, I stood up, looking in the mirror and seeing my eyes were red. 'I'll just use my contacts as an excuse.' I told myself, reaching up to take them out. Once they were out, I opened the bathroom door and walked back into my room.

"Why are your eyes all red?" Eliza asked me, concern in her eyes.

"I had trouble taking my contacts out." I lied easily, guilt idmidiatly settling into my stomach.

"Oh, okay." She replied, seeming convinced. I sat down next to her on my bed and leaned back against the pillows beside her, laying my arm over her shoulders while she leaned into me, her head fitting perfectly into the crook of my neck.

"You know, you're the first person i've been able to trust in a long time." She told me, snuggling into my neck. The guilt in my stomach tripled. I just buried my nose in her hair in response. 

"You just make me feel so comfortable, I don't know why." She continued.

"Maybe because I knew subconciously you could relate." She concluded.

"Maybe." I murmured into her hair.

After a few minutes of silence, I felt her body relax and I could tell she had gone to sleep. I smiled and laid my head on top hers, closing my eyes so I could escape reality for a while too.
