1st Person POV - BadBoyHalo

"I'm sorry... could you repeat that," I said in disbelief, "your the person he loves" Vincent repeated and I stared in complete shock. 'Unrequited or one-sided love...' I said in my head, 'He thinks I don't love him back...' I added and I started to tear up. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" I asked Vincent but then he started crying. "I'm sorry... I know I should've told you but I wanted to keep it secret for Zak... Darryl... I'm so so sorry... Zak's gonna die and it's all my fault..." He said as he broke down. I moved closer to him and wrapped my arms around him and hugged him. "Vincent nothing is your fault... You just wanted to help Zak... I understand... I honestly would have done the same..." I confessed, Vincent looked at me and I could see his glossy eyes. "R...really?" he asked and I nodded. Vincent pulled away and wiped the tears from his eyes. "Are you gonna tell Zak that you love him?" Vincent asked me but I couldn't respond, It didn't even cross my mind, how was I gonna tell Zak?

"Does Zak believe I don't love him back?" I asked and Vincent nodded, "He says there is no chance that you would love someone like him..." Vincent explained and I looked at the floor in shock. 'Why would Zak say that...' I asked in my head. "And now Zak is dying because I didn't tell you the truth sooner..." Vincent said as I started to let tears escape my eyes and roll down my face. 'I'm gonna lose him...' I said in my mind. "The truth hurts... doesn't it...?" Vincent asked and I nodded. I took the flower crown off my head and looked at it. 'He... He made this for me... So I could remember him when he leaves me... But I don't want him to leave... I want him here... With me... So we could be together forever...' I continued to say stuff in my head. Vincent then stood up. "I'm gonna check on Zak... Come get me if you need anything" Vincent said as he got up, unlocked my door, and left, closing the door behind him. When he left I turned away from my doorway and put the flower crown back on my head then layed down. Tears then started streaming down my face onto the pillow.

'I'm gonna lose my best friend...' I said in my head, "why was I so blind..." I quietly said to myself. I then heard fast footsteps approaching my room. Someone then burst through my door, I jumped almost 10 feet off the bed, I turned to my doorway and saw Vincent there with a scared and panicked look on his face and he was breathing heavily. "Vincent are you okay? What happened?!" I asked getting kinda panicked myself. "It's Zak!" Vincent said and I jumped to my feet. "WHAT HAPPENED!" I demanded, "he's laying on his bedroom floor and he's unresponsive," Vincent said sounding panicked, I didn't even reply I just pushed past Vincent and dashed for Zak's room.
