Love... Not Romance [BoyxBoy]

33 - The Stories of Love

 "Drew... Drew, what's wrong?" Nico asked worriedly as he clasped my shoulder. "Why are you crying?"

I couldn't stop crying. Tears wouldn't stop falling from my eyes.

I turned my head to Nico, and more tears fell. The mere thought of losing Nico, of that same accident happening to the both of us was breaking my heart. I was afraid, I was worried, and I was really sorrowful.

Why do I feel that way for a mere vision that I couldn't even explain.

I looked Nico in the eyes, and I was really thankful that he was there with me. I pulled him closer and I leaned my head on his chest as I continued on crying. I cried and cried as I clenched the back of Nico's shirt.

"It's alright, Drew..." Nico comforted me as he rubbed my back. Even though Nico had no idea why I was crying, he was still comforting me, and I was really thankful for that. He didn't push me for an answer or an explanation, he just stayed by my side and comforted me. "Everything will be alright." Nico wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tight.

His warmth somehow calmed me down.

The longer I stayed inside that car, the more painful my heart gets.

"Have you calmed down?" Nico asked as he watched me finished drinking the glass of water he gave me. We were outside the secret room and were sitting on the edge of his bed.

"Yeah. I feel a lot better now..." I said guiltily. I ruined the good mood, that's for sure.

"What happened, Drew? Why did you suddenly cry like that? Did I do something wrong?" Nico asked worriedly as he looked at my face.

"Can we go swim?" I asked Nico. It was the only way for me to fully calm down.

"Sure..." Nico said with a worried smile.

I was afraid to tell Nico the truth. I was afraid that he might think that I'm going insane.

I was really afraid that I might drive him away.

Nico led me to the pool, and when I got there, I suddenly had mix emotions about taking a swim.

Swimming usually makes me a lot calmer. It helps me think and it helps me relax, but when I saw Nico's pool, something inside of me started moving. Like a piece of a puzzle was suddenly moved.

For some inexplicable reason, the pool at the Bellard Mansion looked very familiar and felt very nostalgic to me.

Not wanting to worry Nico even further, I walked down the pool without showing any signs of hesitation. "I'm sorry, for worrying you," I told Nico as we both walked towards the middle of the pool. "I'm alright now, Nico, so don't worry too much," I added.

Nico took my hand under the water. "I'm always going to be by your side, Drew. You can tell me anything and everything. I want you to know that."

"Thank you..." I replied and squeezed his hand tightly and then rest my head on his shoulder. Nicopetted my head.

I went down into the water and Nico followed me. He smiled at me and then swam closer. He held my cheeks and kissed me. That underwater kiss was truly amazing. It was exciting, it was intoxicating, it was magical.

Nico didn't push me for answers, and I was really thankful for that.

I want to say that I was fine after that.

I want to believe that everything went back to normal for me.

It didn't.

Those visions. They kept on bugging me. They kept on playing inside of my head, and no matter how hard I tried to get rid of them, I couldn't. They lingered and lingered inside of me. I wanted answers, I wanted to know what those visions were, why they kept on appearing inside my head.
