"Hey, want to go to your room? Get away from all of this?" I turn to Will and take off his headphones. I grab his hand.
"Come on." I say gently.
As soon as I close the door to his room he immediately starts crying. I've never seen him like this.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah Mike, I'm fine, don't worry.
"Will its okay to be sad, it's a terrible thing that has happened and nobody expects you to be fine-"
"No, everyone expects me to be fine!" He interrupts. "I've seen things, things that you guys can't even imagine, and everyone just expects me to be fine! Jonathan was the only person who understood my thoughts! The only person who loved me no matter what! The only person I ever consider telling that I was..." He stopped. That he was what? Gay? Wait is Will gay? Does he like me?
"...Scared." He continued
Okay, good. Scared not gay. I am not gay. Just like him. We are not gay. I like El so why would i be gay?
"Will, I am so sorry if I ever made you feel like you can't talk to me and believe me, I'm scared too." I say as I hug him. "You're the best thing that has ever happened to me and I want you to know that I care about you so much and I don't know what I would do without you."
"I love you, Mike"
I feel the butterflies in my stomach build up.
"I love you too Will, you're a really good friend."
