TW HOMOPHOBIA
I make my way over to the downstairs bathroom. I knock on the door just to hear slight cries from the other side of the door "Will is that you, are you okay? It's Nancy I just want to check up on you."
"G-go away." his voice cracks and I hear him sniffle
"please let me in, I have popcorn." No answer, "listen kid let me in we can talk."

I hear the door handle rattling and the door opens I see Will standing there tear stand face I give him a hug and shut the door behind me so that the others won't hear I don't want them to see him crying he sits down, I sit down next to him
"What's wrong Will, you can tell me."
"You wouldn't understand." His voice cracks
"Try me, I am the wise Nancy, people don't just call me Nancy drew for nothing."

This makes Will laugh a little bit
"I don't know I just feel left out you know."
Why would he feel left out if all they are doing is kissing? Never mind that I would feel left out too if they weren't talking to me.
"Yeah my brother can be a real dick sometimes."
"What no mike, he's nice really it's just that-."

"Just what?"
"Never mind that."
"Want some popcorn" I say scooting the popcorn closer to him
"Hm no thank you."
We sit there and talk for quite awhile and I can definitely tell that he's a bit better now.

"I think i might go home now, if that's okay."
He gets up and gives me a hug "thank you nance."
"Your welcome." He gets up and walks away.

Robins POV
I am in a fucking bathroom crying, because I'm a disgusting little faggot. Maybe my dad is right gay people are disgusting, I'm disgusting. God I hope my moms right I hope this is just a phase. I mean I'm so stupid how could someone, especially a girl like a freak like me? I'm so stupid. Disgusting. Disgusting. Disgusting little fag. I'm sobbing even harder than I was before. I usually don't even cry but tonight I just do.

I hear a knock on the door. Shit. Shit. What do I do? What if it's Tammy? Or even worse thought what if it's Nancy? I would never let Nancy see me like this.
"Robin? Is that you?"
Oh. It's Steve oh um "h-hello?" I try to say without my voice breaking I fail of course, just like I fail at everything else I wipe the tears from my face and open the door, steve walks in closing the door behind him

He puts his hands on both my shoulders "robs are you okay?"
"Y- yeah I was just touching up my makeup." God robin that's the most bullshit lie you could've come up with.
"Really because you look like you've been crying, it's my mothers instinct."
I chuckle a bit, how could Steve still make me laugh at a time like this?
I sit down on the floor Steve slowly sits down next to me.

"No im not okay." I began to cry putting my hands over my face to make the sobs sound quieter.

"Robin talk to me."
I reply in silence I can't tell him that Tammy called me a fa-. He moves my hands down Interrupting my ongoing thoughts.
"Remember when I had that huge crush on Emily Lockhart?"

I nod "okay so like remember when I was going ask her out and she publicly humiliated me in front of the whole school. And later after school I talked to you, and you told me that it's okay from men to cry? Well I mean I didn't cry because you know I'm just too cool to cry.
I roll my eyes and say nothing

"Anyway the point is robin you were there for me. So I'm here for you Robin."
I look up at him "it's uhm Tammy I got way to into the moment and I uhm kissed her." The reminder of this makes me start to cry harder.
"Oh. I'm amusing it didn't go well?"
"No of course not. She pushed me off of her and" I hesitated to say the next part "she called me a.." "a.." "Fagott" I finally spit out.

"Oh my god. I'm sorry." "What a bitch." "I understand how much it sucks." He tries to put his arm on me to comfort me. I slap his arm away
"No you don't understand." I say louder than I definitely should've
"What?"
"You'll never understand how it feels." "You will never understand how it feels to have to hide yourself away from the world, just because of who you love." I start sobbing loud my voice breaking with almost every word "you'll never understand how it feels to be called that." I want to say so much more but I can't and at the same time I don't want to.

Steve looks sad, I expected him to look mad but his face is filled with sympathy and hurt. I sob letting my face fall into his chest he hugs me "I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry." "I ruin everything."

He lifts up me so we're looking in each other's eyes "no you don't" "and robin you're right I don't understand how it feels I never will." "Robin your the best friend I have ever had who gives a fuck whatever those assholes are saying about you."
"I do"
"You shouldn't! Robin you are perfect, and if an asshole like Tammy can't see that than fuck her!"
We sit there for a minute I try to calm down and I feel like Steve is helping me a bit.

"Popcorn?" He pushes over to me "it's a bit cold now but popcorn is popcorn at the end of the day." I look over at him with wide eyes
"Of course Steve, offers you food when your sad."
"It's the mom in me I guess" I laugh and grab some popcorn and throw it at him
"Hey, what was that for." He laughs
"Your an idiot Steve."
"Still hotter than you."

"You better take that back." I grab a handful of popcorn
"Yes, yes I take it back robin I was just joking!" I take to popcorn shoving it into my mouth, which made me look weird and was hard to chew, Steve takes a handful and does the same. We both laugh and then Steve makes a funny face at me we sit there laughing.

Steve stands up and put his hand out to help me up I grab his hand without hesitation, and we walk out of the bathroom.
