If It Means A Lot To You... (Frerard)

(13.) I'll be fine

(((Trenton feels vibes)))

After school, Frank walked me to Trenton's house. Joshua had come back from the bathroom without him, saying he'd gone home. I needed to find out was wrong with my best friend.

"Call me when you're done, babe," Frank gave me a hug, kissing me on the cheek when we got to Trenton's house.

"K," I said simply, smiling when his lips touched the side of my face. Frank left and I turned to face the house of my best friend.

I walked towards the door and gave it a knock. After a few seconds, his mother opened it and welcomed me in, telling me Trenton was upstairs and he wasn't in the mood for talking.

I gulped nervously and started up the stairs. I was afraid of what I would find. I had never in the whole time I'd known him had Trenton been so upset, not even when his little sister died of cancer a few years back.

The door to his room was closed. I took a deep breath before turning the knob.

Inside, Trenton was curled up on his bed, facing the wall. There were tissues scattered all over his bed and the floor. His chest rose in sobs.

I walked over to him and sat down. "Trenton?" I shook his shoulder, hoping to get his attention.

He turned over and looked at me. I felt a pang of sadness in my stomach when his face dropped at the sight of my face. "Oh, it's you." Trenton grunted out and turned to face me.

"Were you expecting anyone else?" I asked. I was upset at his disappointment in seeing me. Did he hate me or something? I didn't even do anything except for exist. I guess that was enough to make him despise me.

"Yes," he stated crossly, looking at his lap. "I was expecting Joshua to be here, because he's a little more emotionally stable."

I bit my lip when he said that, trying to fight back the tears forming in my eyes. I couldn't help being so emotionally unstable all the time, it's just how I am. "Can you at least tell me what happened since I walked all the way over here to talk to you, since your, I don't know my best friend?" I snapped a bit at the end, making him flinch. "Sorry."

"Whatever," Trenton sighed and sat up next to me. "Soren found out I had feelings for this, uh, person, and she walked out on me." He licked his lips and avoided my eyes.

"Oh," I said sadly. I thought Trenton and Soren were so good together. "Who was this person?" Whoever it was, I was kind of upset at them for ruining my friends perfect relationship.

"I can't tell you," he snapped at me, and I shrunk back on his bed. "Look, you wouldn't understand, okay? Just go home. I'll be fine."

Trenton shoved me out his door. I let the tears fall as I ran out the door. I guess Trenton was just pretending that he cared about me, just pretending we were even friends. I didn't bother calling Frank. He probably wouldn't care either.
