I wake up with the sun coming through the window. It's been 3 weeks since Amy and I broke up and she took Henry with her. It's just me and Chica now. I sit up and look around the room it's littered with tissues, Chinese food and pizza boxes. Chica is laying at the edge of the bed. I pet her and get up to use the restroom.

When I get back to the bed I lay down and pick up my phone. I unlock it to see a message from Ethan and I sigh. No one knows the reason why Amy broke up with me. I never told anyone but it's because she thinks I'm in love with Ethan.

Flashback

"Mark, we need to talk." Amy said walking into the room taking a seat in the extra empty gaming chair as I was editing one of my new videos. "Sure, what's up?" I ask turning towards her. "Are you in love with Ethan?" She asked with no emotion on her face. "What? Of course not, why would you think that?" "Because ever time he is here or you to are talking, you are always rude or ignore me." "No I don't I talk to you all the time when he is around." "No Mark you don't. And I deserve better then someone who is in love with someone else." "Amy, he is just my friend I promise." "Mark, I can't take it anymore you are lying to me and yourself. I've decided I'm done." "Amy please don't do this." I say as tears start to stream down my face. "I will come get Henry when all my stuff is moved." With that she gets up and walks out of the room.

End of flashback

I open the message. "Hey Mark, I'm headed over now I just picked up the food." Ethan was coming over. I had forgotten about us hanging out today. I get up and scramble to get everything the house cleaned up. I throw on a pair of sweats , a tee shirt and put on a hoodie as well. After I was done I heard a knock at the door. Chica runs to the door barking. I answer it and I see Ethan holding up a bag of food from In-and-Out. I invite him in and shut the door.

I walk over and sit on the couch and grab a pillow and hold it. "How are you holding up?" Ethan says putting the food down on the coffee table and sits down on the couch. "As well as can be right now." I said a tears start to  well up in my eyes "I'm sorry man that sucks." He said hugging me as I fight back my tears. "So, tell me. What happened?" "Ethan. I... I can't talk about...... especially with you." I said whispering the last bit. "What do you mean? Mark , you can tell me anything. We are best friends." He said. I can't tell him, he would never look at me the same again. What if he hated me? "I'm sorry Ethan, I just can't tell you." I told him looking down at my head that we're messing with the pillow as more tears started to swell up in my eyes.

"Mark, please if not me the talk to Wade, Bob, or Sean. Please I'm sorry that you feel like you can't talk to me but if not me then please talk to one of them. I hate seeing you like this. I love you man, you deserve more than this." He said getting up and grabbing his keys. "I'll call you tomorrow." he said shutting my front door behind him. I finally lost it I laid down on the couch sobbing. What have I done? Now I pushed Ethan away. He must hate me. Thought were running threw my head and I couldn't take anymore. I grabbed my phone and dialed the number from my favorites. Sean.

"Hey, can we talk?"I asked Sean while trying to sound more put together. "Mark, you ok man?" Sean asked sounding worried. I couldn't hold it any longer. "I think I fucked and not just with Amy." "What do you mean? What's going on?" he asked calmly. "I think I'm in love with Ethan." I replied quietly, so quietly that I thought he hadn't heard me. "I know." he responded after a good ten long seconds of silence. "What do you mean, you know." "Mark, it's not that hard to tell I mean, I've seen the way you look at him through videos and when I'm over there." "Amy broke up with me because of it. You don't think he knows, do you?" "Definitely not. I'm still not seeing why you think you fucked up with Ethan." "He was just here." "Ok?" "He kept asking to to talk about it and I kinda sorta told him that I couldn't talk to him about it. I think he took it as I don't want to talk to him, when that's not true he's the main person that I want to talk to. I want to talk his fucking ears off till he can't handle anymore of me." "Mark, you need to tell him." "What? No, I can't. I can't tell him that everytime I see him I want kiss him and hold him and never let go." I said crying once again. "Mark, please he deserves to know." "But what if he doesn't feel the same?" "Mark." "What if I tell him it changes our friendship?" "Mark!" "What if he hates me?" "MARK!" "What?" "Just TALK to him." "But-" "Talk To Him." "Fine, I'll do it. I'll ask him to come over when he calls tomorrow." "Well tell me how it goes." "Ok, I'll call you on Saturday." "Sounds good man, talk to you then. Good luck man." "Thanks, bye Sean." "Bye." I hang up the phone and turn on some Netflix. I grab the bag of In-and-out and start eating the food not wanting to waste Ethan's money. After I spend the day watching Netflix I fall asleep on the couch.
