Ryan's P.O.V

Felix... Hasn't been the same since the call. But who could blame him. His mother, who he had loved to death, was gone. And maybe even dead.
I honestly dislike this new Felix... He hasn't gone to school, hardly eats, hardly talks... He just sits, a blank glaze over his once brilliant eyes and a empty, emotionless mask for a face.
I'd recognize that look anywhere. Hell, I had that same exact mask for... Years.
It was depression in its purest form. And I hated it.
I wanted Felix to smile, to put it behind him and let it go... But... That wasn't going to be easy, now is it?

I bite my lip and walk into Felix's room, seeing him in his usual postition, sitting on the floor, clutching a pillow and the emotionless mask on his face. I frown and sit next to him.
"You can't stay like this forever, Felix..." I say softly, brushing a stray lock of his hair away from his dull, lifeless eyes.
He twitched and glanced over at me.
"S-shes dead Ryan..." He croaked, his once bright, cheery voice, now hoarse and strained.
I frown and shake my head. "She's not really dead..." I place my hand onto his chest, feeling his heartbeat. "She's right there... Beating loud and strong." The corners of his lips twitched, but only slightly.
"Ryan... T-thank you... I-..." I cut him off.
"Felix. Don't thank me for nothing. I haven't done a thing. I just miss the old you..." I mutter sadly. He frowned slightly and the mask slowly started to fade.
"Ryan. If you weren't here, right now... I-i wouldn't even b-be t-talking..." Small tears filled his eyes, slowly wiping away the gray, lifeless glaze.
I smile softly and shake my head. "Felix. Just always remember that I'll be here," I point at his heart. "And I don't plan on leaving..." He looked up at me, something hidden deep In his eyes.
"B-... But what if I-i... Mess up..  What if I-i get d-drunk and h-hurt you...? I-i don't want t-to be y-your father all o-over again..." I shake my head.
"You won't... I know you won't Felix." He smiled weakly and sniffed.
"Y'know... Everything is just... Falling apart... I've never d-dealt with this b-before... Coming from a 'perfect' family..." I chuckle sadly and kiss his head.
"Well... Welcome to the club Fe..."
------------------------------------------

I at least got Felix to leave his little cacoon. The mask lifted from his face and his eyes shining again. He wouldn't be exactly the same for quite a while though. He... He was still fragile... Any little stone could make him shatter like glass.
"Hey... You gonna go back to school?" I ask, trying to make small conversation. He looked at me and snickered.
"I should ask you the same" I chuckle and shake my head.
"No friend, I think I've had enough 'education' for a lifetime" We both laugh.
"I'm dropping out too, I see no need to keep going. Its not like I'm gonna need it anyway." I look at him and purse my lips.
"Felix... You should keep going. You have a bright future ahead if you, friend..." He smiled shyly and shook his head.
"No. Ryan I'm fine. Don't worry about it" I rolled my eyes and huffed. I didn't like it when he said that...
"Fine... But tomorrow we go to the school, and rain all hell- er- I mean drop out." Felix laughed and rolled his eyes.
"Let's do it."
-----------------------------------------

We walked up to North Winter Acadamy hand in hand. I looked nervously at all of the students that were waiting for the doors to open with their friends. But, today Felix and I wouldn't be with them.
A bearded man and a curly haired boy ran up to us. "FELIX!" Ken called, running up to us with Tobey.
"Hey guys" Felix said, smiling warmly, but the smile was kind of fake, I noticed.
"And... Ryan, right?" Ken asked, looking at me. I slowly nod and look up at Felix, who was biting his lip.
"Ken um... I need to tell you something... We're dropping out..." Ken's brown eyes widened, same with Tobey's.
"Wut"
"Felix? Why?"
He let out a long sigh. "Long story. I'll explain later." Ken and Tobey looked at each other before slowly nodding.
"Okay... But explain one thing..."
"Yes?" Ken's eyes dropped to our linked hands.
"That" Felix smiled.
"Another long story. But basically some shit happened and now Ryan and I are living together."
Ken looked at Tobey and grinned.
"Friends with benefits." They stated in unison. I shake my head quickly, blushing madly.
"What?! N-no! Um... I-its nothing like that!" They both roll their eyes and laugh.
"Suuuuure... Felix here did say he had a thing for brunettes."
"And blue eyes" Tobey added. I frown and look up at Felix, who was only blushing slightly.
"Hey, one thing about living with Ryan here, is that he doesn't mind it if I do this;"
He leaned down quickly and pressed his lips to mine softly, kissing me sweetly. I blush and kiss back hesitantly, knowing that people were staring.
Felix pulled away with a satisfied grin. I just pursed my lips and felt my face turn to fire.
Ken and Tobey looked at each other, then back to Felix and I. "Told you he was bi! Where's my money?" Felix gawked at them.
"You bet money on me that I was Gay?!" Ken shook his head as Tobey handed him a ten reluctantly.
"No, bi. We never said gay." Felix groaned and rolled his eyes.
"I'm friends with idiots..." He mumbled, dragging me away from the two laughing men. I chuckle and roll my eyes.

We walk into the front doors of the building, making a right and turning into the office. A lady looks at us and smiles.
"Hello darlings, what can I do for you?" Felix and I look at each other.
"We're dropping out." We say in unison, still holding each other's hand tightly.
Her polite smile quickly fades and turns somber.
"O-oh... Um... Well okay then... But. We need confirmation from your parents." I bite my lip and frown.
"My parents are dead." She frowns.
"Oh. I-im sorry to hear that..."
Felix spoke up. "My mom is... D-dead. And my father l-left me. So I'm on my own too..." She looks at us with sympathy and pity.
"Um... T-then j-just sign your names... And you're free to go." Felix and I look up at each other before carefully taking the pen and signing our names on the document.
