Love surrounds

Chapter 9 / unexpected

(3rd persons POV)

Regie stayed in Oliver's room for hours, they didn't talk but stayed together. Olly was on his phone scrolling through TikTok while Regie was sleeping.

Olly looked at Regies sleeping and peaceful face. He put his phone down staring at him. He got lost in his thoughts and turned away quickly. 'Why the fuck do I still like him..' he thought frowning. 'After everything he's done, it makes me feel horrible but I can't stop.' He thought sighing. He laid down glancing over at Regie. Regie opened his eyes surprising him. "Why are you staring at me?" Regie groaned squinting his eyes. "I wasn't.." Olly said in a panic. Regie yawned and sat up. "Sorry, I fell asleep." He said feeling bad. "It's fine you were crying it's understandable why you're tired." Olly responded sitting up. Regie stretched and fell onto Oliver's lap, making him jump from the sudden action of Regie. "Why? you're heavy as fuck." Olly said annoyed. "Sorry, not fully friends yet..." Regie said sitting up having a sad tone in his voice. The vibe of the atmosphere got dimmer and less happy. Regie sighed getting off Ollys bed. "Ill be in the kitchen." Regie said walking out the room. Olly sighed looking strange.

Regie walked downstairs, but stopping when he didn't feel his phone in his pocket. He walked back upstairs, hearing yelling again. He walked into Ollys room. It was Justin again. "You're a problem too!" Justin yelled making Olly break into more tears. "How don't you fucking understand?!" Olly yelled back frustrated. He got more aggravated and walked to Justin, but Regie ran in front of him, holding him back before he could get to him. "Regie let me the fuck go!" Olly yelled trying to get lose from his grip. "Justin leave please." Regie said looking back struggling to hold Oliver. Justin walked out huffing, and closed the door behind him. "What is happening between you guys?" Regie asked letting go of him. Olly wiped his face and caught his breath. "It's not your business." Oliver said irritated. "Just fucking tell me so I can help." Regie said getting frustrated. "He thinks I'm being too harsh on you, even though you made me so fucking depressed and hopeless, with every time you abused me and made me feel like nothing! There are you fucking happy?!" Olly yelled breaking down. Regie stood there in shock and felt nothing. He didn't feel anger, sadness, happiness , disgust. Nothing he felt absolutely empty. "What..?" Regie said frozen. Olly looked at him trying to compose himself but he was overwhelmed with stress and adrenaline he just couldn't stop crying. Regie walked up to him and pulled him into a hug. "Oliver I'm so sorry..." is all he could say. Oliver cried in his arms not resisting Regies affection and sincerity in his voice / facial expressions. "I am so fucking sorry." Regie said sitting on the bed still holding onto Oliver. "Whatever I don't care." Olly said wiping his face losing Regies grip on him. "I'm just going to sleep." Oliver said sighing. Regie felt hurt but understood him.

He took his phone and walked out Ollys room, to Justin's room. He walked slowly into the room seeing Justin hugging Ryan. "Justin.." he said walking in. Justin looked back at him wiping his face. "Sorry you had to be involved." Justin said sighing. "It's ok, don't worry." He replied sitting next to the two of them. "I'll come back later." Ryan said giving Regie and Justin space. He walked out leaving them there. "Justin please stop defending me, and please I'm gonna beg you to stop fighting with olly." Regie pleaded. Justin looked at him confused. "I agree with Olly, I treated him terribly and he deserves to feel this way." Regie explained. Justin sighed but agreed. They sat and talked about the situation.

(Oliver's POV)

I laid in bed unable to fall asleep. "He's probably talking to Justin.." I mumbled turning to lay on my back, staring at the ceiling. "Fuck man why do I feel like this. Just stop liking him already!" I raised my voice hitting my face with a pillow. I was frustrated knowing well he wouldn't feel the same and that my hopes were too high. "I just need him bruh.." I said feeling hurt. I stared at the ceiling for a while, until I heard the door open. I hoped it was Regie, and it was. I felt a relief but also tense. I sat up looking at him. "Hey Olly." He said sitting next to me. "Justin wants to apologise, but he wants to do it tomorrow when everything is less heated." He explained laying down. I sighed not responding. He turned to look at me and didn't look away. I looked at him and felt a pain spike my chest. "Would you ever date a guy?" I asked without thinking. Regies face went confused. "Well not really but I don't know." He replied making me shocked. I expected him to say no. There was silence for a bit after that question. I wanted to move closer to him but it felt weird and like he would just push me away. I sat in silence feeling uncomfortable and the urge to go closer to him grew bigger. I sighed smacking my face with a pillow again. "You ok?" Regie asked surprised. "Yeah I'm fine." I replied blankly. "What's wrong?" He asked looking at my obvious uncomfortable face. "Am I making you uncomfortable?" He asked almost getting off the bed. "No! Don't go..." I said pulling him. I let go feeling embarrassed. "Fuck man!" I yelled frustrated. Regie stared at me confused but worried. "Can I be honest? Promise just to listen and not say anything that makes it harder for me." I said impatient. Regie nodded sitting down again. "I like you ok? And I don't want to but I can't make myself not like you. I get jealous and I want to be around you all the time." I blurted out making Regies eyes widen. "I hate liking you, but I just can't stop. I just want to be with you and not feel like an idiot." I said getting more frustrated. Regie stared at his hands speechless. I stayed silent waiting for him to finally speak. He didn't say anything making me more nervous and impatient. "Im sorry, I just had to tell you the truth. You can leave if you want to, I don't care anymore I just couldn't keep it to myself any longer." I said feeling hurt. "Olly..." he finally spoke.

What he said after made my heart stop.

This chapter is also messy, I kind of rushed it because I've been busy lately and want to post something for you guys to read and maybe enjoy! And I hope it wasn't too bad. <333
