Love surrounds

Chapter 5 / worst feeling

"What's wrong?" Regie asked startling her by his sudden wokeness. She stayed silent and stared at him. Regie sat up looking at her. "What's wrong lily?" He asked worried. "Nothing with me.." she replied sitting up along side Regie. "What do you mean 'with you'?" He asked confused. "Well I went to get water down stairs and walked passed Oliver's room." She explained. "And?" Regie asked feeling irritated. "Well I heard shouting noises, knocked on his door and he opened it." She said. "Why would you-" Regie couldn't finish. "He was highly intoxicated..." she interrupted him. Regies face went shocked and he was speechless. "I'm not exaggerating, he was stumbling, slurring his words and he passed out right in front of me." She explained feeling worried. Regie zoned out into his thoughts. "Regie..?" Lily tugged his shirt to get his attention. "Let's just sleep, he'll be fine." Regie said pulling Lily down into a cuddle. She sighed but closed her eyes.

The next morning

(Oliver's POV)

I woke up with a beating headache, my chest hurt and I didn't feel great over all. I got up walking to the bathroom. I showered and changed, I wore a black moy army merch hoodie, grey sweat pants and  slides. Walking out I saw the empty tipped over bottle. "God damn it..." I sighed picking up the bottle and putting it in my bin. I walked down stairs to get food, my stomach was growling loudly. I saw Darren laughing with seb in the kitchen, that made me happy. "Thanks seb." I whispered smiling subtly. "Oliver!" A soft voice yelled from upstairs. I looked back seeing Regie and Lily walking down stairs. My face dropped. "What." I replied salty. Lily got awkward and Regie got annoyed. "How are you today?" She asked looking at me up and down. "Uhm fine?" I replied walking to the fridge. "What are we doing today Regie?" She asked hugging him. Regie smiled and ruffled his hand through her hair. "Wanna get boba?" He asked kissing her forehead. I stared at this all, my heart felt heavy. "Annoying..." I whispered feeling weird. Regie glanced at me and then walked out with Lily. I grabbed a protein bar and water, I turned around seeing seb smiling bright. "Hmm, is this who you like?" I whispered smirking. I sighed of relief walking to the living room. My eyes felt heavy again. "Why am I so tired? I slept yesterday and the day before." I said irritated. I ate the bar and drank half of the water. "I'm never this tired..." I sighed laying down. As soon I closed my eyes I was gone, Dead asleep.

Few hours later

(Darren's POV)

I saw Regie and Lily walk through the door, walking to the living room. They sat on the couch cuddling and laughing with each other. 'I guess im happy for him?' I thought frowning a bit. I snapped out of it and looked at seb. I was talking to seb about a video he wanted to film. If im being honest I wasn't focused on the conversation, his calm voice and his angelic tone made me lose focus and gave me butterflies. "Oh I got to go." Seb said looking at his phone. "Bye Darren!" He said smiling at me bright. "Bye seb!" I replied chuckling. I looked around for Oliver but couldn't find him.  I walked up stairs to his room opening his door. I glanced at his bed seeing him dead asleep. "Olly?" I sat on the bed next to him. "Are you ok?" I asked gently shaking him awake. "Mmm" he groaned turning towards me. "What?" He asked rubbing his eyes. "Are you ok?" I asked again. "Yeah, just tired." He replied yawning. "Wait why? Didn't you sleep last night?" I asked. "No I did and I don't even know. I just feel really drained." He replied making me worry. "Well ok...if you need anything I'll be playing smash with Kane." I said getting off the bed. I didn't want to make him uncomfortable and ask him a lot of questions, I wanted to give him time and want him to tell me how he felt without me making him feel like he's pressured to. Olly gave me a short smile as I left his room.

(Oliver's POV)

I walked out my room and down stairs. I passed the kitchen to the living room to look for my phone, I couldn't stop yawning on my way there. I glanced over at Regie and Lily who were watching something on Regies phone, she was cuddling his arm and he kissed her forehead. I don't know why I felt hurt when I looked at them. 'I do miss Regie but I shouldn't feel like that from missing him...' I thought walking to the couch that had my phone on. I felt tired and didn't feel like walking back up to my room so I sat on the couch that had my phone on. I opened my phone to a lot of notifications.

Few hours later

Everyone was out except me, Regie and Lily. I scrolled through my insta dms, my messages and TikTok likes, until I got a call. "Hello?" I answered confused as there was no name but only a caller ID. "Uh who is this?" I asked genuinely confused. I saw in the corner of my eye I gained Regie and lilys attention. "Yeah I am Oliver, but who is this?" I asked sitting up. "Wait..." I hesitated glancing over at Regie and Lily who were staring at me. "Eric?!" I said smiling. I looked at Regie who looked curious but serious. "I haven't spoke to you in forever!" I said jumping off the couch. "Wait what? You're here!" I yelled excited. The front door opened getting everyone's attention, Eric walked in making me feel happy. "Eric!" I yelled running up to him laughing. "Long time huh?" He chuckled. We hugged each other tight and looked back at Regie and Lily, Regies face was shocked and Lily was confused. "Who's that?" Eric asked pointing to Regie. "Oh that's Regie..." I replied dropping my smile. Eric walked up to him and shook his hand. "Hey I'm Eric." He said introducing himself smiling. "I'm Regie." He replied smiling too. I felt awkward and uneasy. Eric sat next to Regie and Lily, and left me standing there. "So this your girlfriend?" Eric asked Regie smirking. "Yeah, her names Lily." Regie replied pinching her cheeks. "Regie! Hi I'm Lily." She said laughing, shaking Eric's hand. I sat down feeling uncomfortable waiting for their conversation to end. "Oh yeah sorry Olly." Eric said turning to face me. "How have you been lately?" Eric asked moving to the couch I was sitting on which was quite a distance from Regie and Lily. "Uh good." I said hesitant. Eric made a weird. "Be honest, I don't like liars." He said frowning. "Well, I've been feeling drained and exhausted for no reason." I replied knowing I could trust him.

(3rd persons POV)

Regie glanced at them subtly listening in to their conversation. "Drained..." Eric said to himself. "Do you feel sad out of no where?" He asked. "Yeah...sometimes." Olly replied confused. "Olly..." Eric said sympathetic. "You might be experiencing depression." Eric said sounding worried. Regies face went shocked and he glanced away. "Or you just don't get enough sleep." He laughed awkwardly trying to change the sadder subject. "Anyway, how's your YouTube going?" He asked changing the subject completely. "It's been good, I have a lot of support." Olly said smiling. "Oh yeah and how the girlfriend?" Eric smirked poking Oliver's shoulder. "You must have one, like come one your nice, handsome and got a huge following." Eric said laughing. "Oh uh, I don't have one." Oliver said awkwardly. Regie chuckled getting Oliver's and Eric's attention. "Regie no.." Lily said whispering to him. "Well Olly didn't you tell him?" Regie asked making a innocent face. "Wait what?" Eric asked smiling out of confusion. "Oh well I'll explain." Regie said smiling. "Regie please just stop." Oliver said in a panic. "Wait why? He wants to know the truth." Regie said fake frowning. "Don't you Eric?" Regie turned to look at him. "Yeah I kinda do." Eric said rubbing his neck. "Regie don't." Lily said making a worried face. "Regie please..." Olly said sounding drained. "I'm going to explain it, your friend needs to know the truth. Other wise what kind of friendship would that be?" Regie said acting innocent. Ollys face dropped and he looked done. Lily looked irritated and grabbed Regies arm. "Be nice Regie." She said pulling him. "Baby it's fine." He said smiling, kissing her cheek. Eric looked confused and glanced at Olly. "Well Eric." Regie said smiling. Eric looked at him waiting for an answer. "Your good friend here Likes dick, I'm sorry I'm sorry. He's gay." Regie said smiling wide. Eric's face went shocked and he was speechless.
