Chapter 3: The Truth

Rickys POV

I was a nervous wreck. I couldn't sleep last night. I was thinking about what to say to vijay.

I guess I don't have to say anything to him, but I can't hold back my emotions anymore. I had to tell him somehow.

Through song? No, what are you thinking ricky!? What if he feels the same way, about me? No, don't be so friggin' stupid ricky. He probably has a girlfriend. He has all the girls swooning over him.

I will tell him later on when the band come over.

Vijay's POV

I need to tell ricky how I feel. I cant

Keep my emotions to myself anymore. I have to tell him. How? Could you imagine if he felt the same about me!? No, don't be so stupid Vijay!

He has all the girls swooning over him. He has a girlfriend anyway! Lesley williams. I will tell him at the band rehearsal today!

Ricky's POV

What to say? what to say? Come on ricky, think!!!

I heard a knock at the door. The band. I scuttled to the door. Opened the latch very slowly. I was trying to kill time. What to say? What to say?

I saw familiar faces peeping through the door.

VIJAY. I was hypnotized once again.

Vijay's POV

How do you tell your best friend, that you have a crush on them? Honestly, I am dreading it...

The moment I see ricky's dreamy blue eyes I immediatly know what to say.

Ricky's POV

As I let the band in Vijay walked passed me.

I was so worried. I felt sick. I saw black smudges in my eyes. I felt like the floor was swallowing me up. What am I doing? My legs gave way and I fell to the ground.

I saw nothing. Were was I? God, ricky you are such a dick sometimes. Your big moment and you go and faint because you are worried! Sometimes I am such an idiot!

I dare to open my eyes. I see my posters on my wall. I am on my bed. Who carried me up the stairs?

I see a face that I recognise. Who is he? Perfect skin, perfect eyes, perfect everything! Vijay.

We are alone.

Vijay came over and sat on my bed. "Ricky, there is something that I need to tell you."

Is he leaving the band? Surely not - he has only just started!

"Ok fire away." I told him.

I can hardly control my feelings at the moment. Last night i was in tears. Me and Lesley are no-more.  She screamed in my face because she thought I was dreaming about about another girl, when actually i was dreaming about Vijay!

And here I am, bursting with happiness and love!

Vijay said "I'm not sure how to tell you this..." he paused. We both said in unison "I love you!"
