Death And Rejection

Chapter 5

As tears streamed Danial's face, Tiffany hugged him, rubbing his back and whispering soothing words of nothingness.

"Talk to me when you're ready okay Dan?" She said. They had become extremely close in the few hours the had known each other.

"H- he.. he t- told me th- that" he sobbed hard into Tiffany's shoulder. Wails of pain escaped his lungs and Tiffany almost cried herself.

"Take it easy. When you're ready, I'm listening." She reassured him with a warm smile. "Should we walk to your house and then talk?"

Danial nodded. His throat hurt and it pained him to speak. They walked, Tiffany with her arm around Danial's shoulder and Dan's head leaning on her.

Spebe watched from the steps leading to the school doors. He had just walked out into the sunlight and saw their backs. He put on his headphones, pressed shuffle on his Korn playlist, and began walking home with his head down.

Once Spebe was in the suburbs with no one else around, "I don't love you" by My Chemical Romance started playing. Spebe started crying. He collapsed on the ground and rain began plummeting to the cold, hard cement. Spebe's house was only a block away but Danial's was about 3. Down the sidewalk, Spebe saw Tiffany and Dan walking together in the downpour. Tiffany had taken her coat off and was hold it over her and Danial.

Spebe got up quickly and sprinted to his house, running inside and locking the door. He stomped up the stairs to his room and looked through the window. He saw Tiffany and Dan walking together. It seemed they had taken the long way. But why were they together? And what was Danial crying? Spebe turned on his cd player and put in his favorite Slipknot album. He turned the volume all the way up so no one could hear him cry.

He flopped onto his bed and stuffed his face into his pillow. When he couldn't get any more tears from his eyes, he screamed about everything that made him sad or angry that day. Thank god his mom wasn't home for another 3 hours.

*at Danial's house*

"Hey I'm sorry about whatever happened. You can talk to me about it whenever you're comfortable." Tiffany was always good at comforting people. She ran downstairs to give him a glass of water. Dan sat on his bed and turned to Tiffany who was sitting next to him, rubbing his back.

"Is this akward? I've never had a girl over before..." he was nervous. And for no reason. He didn't like Tiffany. He liked Spebe.

"Dan, calm down, it's fine. I'm a lesbian anyway." She laughed at herself and turned to face Danial directly.

"You are?" He had a dumbfounded look on his face.

"Enough about me." Tiffany grabbed Danial's shoulders and stared into his eyes. "Why are you crying, man?"

"I-" he took a deep breath out and another big breath in. "So Spebe texted me and he said he's really really sorry and he thinks he is bi too and he doesn't like you anymore and he likes me now and he's crazy sorry for making fun of gay people and not liking you anymore and he's liked me for years and I don't know what to do because I stopped liking him and I need your help cuz what if I confess and he was just joking or something?"

Tiffany stared at him for a solid fifteen seconds. "Sorry, what?"
