"I did not call him 'Seannie Bonnie.'"
"You did! I saw you walking together in the hallway. I heard it come right out of your mouth! You also said it on the bench."
"Well, then, you saw-slash-heard wrong because I would never call him something like that."
"Gasp Are you dating?~ AHAHA!! Mikey has a boyfriend~ Mikey has a boyfriend~ Mikey and Seannie Bonnie sitting in a tree, k-i-"
"STOP THAT!!" I looked around, checking whether anyone had saw—a habit of mine for a long time. Nobody was around. "I'm really embarrassed about it, you know... You know how they treated gay people just a few years ago. It's not safe. And don't even mention Dad." I pointed to the door, which led straight into the living room—where Dad always lay knocked out or watching one of his lame football games.
yeah, this bit was really short, ahaha. Hope the next one makes up for it because whoo boy :)

Evan
"Come on, Sean! You know him."
"Huh?"
"You know he has anger issues. And he's a wimp!"
I perked my head up. That sounds like Jack, I realized. I held my ear to the wall the sound was coming from.
"I dunno, Jack..." Said a voice that sounded more like Sean's. "Don't you remember what happened last time?"
"Yeah, yeah. He lashed out for nothing. He's just a crybaby. Just like his brother."
WHAT?!
"A crybaby?! No, he's my boyfr- MMH! Mmm..."
Oh no...
I've got to tell Mikey.
Michael
Where is he?
The loud buzz of the fluorescent lights was near deafening. The teal wet tile floor I was sitting on was seeping into my jeans. The small black pager lay silent in my hand, taunting. I contemplated throwing it across the room.
He said to meet in the bathroom.
I could already hear the loud boom of the beginning of the movie through the walls. People were cheering, screaming even.
"Mikey!" I heard Evan's voice shout. "Come see!!" I couldn't see him, but the tone of his voice made it obvious it was urgent. I hurriedly rose and ran out the door.
"Where...?" I said to myself, glancing around the foyer. I finally found Evan and saw he was pointing urgently to a corner. I followed his point, confused.
My boyfriend and my ex-best friend were having a hot make-out session.
Again.
"Wha-?" I stammered, shocked. "Sean?!"
At the noise, both boys broke free from the kiss and stared at me. Sean with an expression of severe regret, and Jack with an expression of pure anger, hatred, and malice.
Tears once more welled in my eyes.
"Mikey!"
"Michael?!"
Immediately heartbroken, I ran. I didn't know where I was going, but I didn't care. All I wanted was to find the exit.
"Where are you going?" asked Evan, somehow flying beside me as I tore through the parking lot.
"Anywhere other than here," I said between pants as I raced. "I never want to see either of those idiots ever again."
After a few minutes of sprinting, I made it to a familiar house. I stopped running and took a breath.
Henry will be able to help, right?
Henry
Knock knock.
Who could that be at this hour? I wondered, rising from my chair. I fixed my thick plaid sweatshirt and began to walk to the door.
Knock knock KNOCK.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" I called.
Creeeeaaakkkkk...
Before I knew what was happening, I had a child hugging me tightly. They were panting between sobs and they had already soaked my shirt with their tears.
"Henry, I- *snoff* -I was at the movies with- *snoff* -with Sean and he- *snoff* -he was with Jack and- *snoff*"
"Michael?!" I said, shocked. How did he find my house from all the way to the theatre?!
"I HATE HIM!! I want to kill him KILL KILL KILL!!!!" Mikey shouted into my stomach and continued crying loudly. I patted his head and brought him to the living room.
"Come on, Mikey, calm down, please. Do you want some hot chocolate?" I asked. He nodded and sat on the couch. When I came back with the mug and a box of tissues, tears were still rivering down his cheeks. "What's wrong, what happened?"
"Sean said we could go on a date, and- *snoff* -and he said we would watch the new Star Wars but he said he'd meet me in the bathroom once he got the food and popcorn and stuff but he never paged me and I was waiting for so long and the movie was starting and he still wasn't there so Evan said he was-... And so I went to check the foyer because I couldn't find him and he was KISSING JACK AGAIN!!!! I HATE HIM SO SO MUCH I JUST WANT TO STRANGLE HIM AND AAAUUUUGGGHHH!!!!!!" He nearly screamed.
"Alright, Mikey," I said. "Do you want another hug?" He shook his head, but still wrapped his arms around me anyway.
"I'm really mad, Henry!" He said. "I'm really mad..."
"I know, Mikey, I know. Stay here as long as you need to recover and I'll speak to Ms Park and Mrs Mitchell immediately," I assured him.
"*snoff* Thanks, Uncle Henry..."
Sean and Jack POVs? ;D
