Lost Boys.

(Tyler's Pov.)

It was a regular morning, it was 6:50 am and time to go to school. I turned off my alarm and slide out of my bed. I walk to my room and wash my face. I change into jeans and a black sweater, considering it was pretty cold in Colorado. I walk downstairs. "Bye mom!" I yell. "Bye! Have fun!" She yells. I slide my boots on and put my jacket on. I grab my backpack and keys. I open the front door and walk outside. I get into my car and start driving to school.

------------------------

I quickly put my car in park and run into the school. I quickly go to my class. I open the door, slowly. "Tyler. You're late." The teacher says. "I'm sorry Mrs." I say. I take my seat. I watch as the teacher instructs a boy to do something. "Anyways, Carry on." She says. The boy at the front of the classroom nods. "Uhm, I'm Leo and I moved here from San Francisco." The boy says. He looks so.. Perfect. No. Tyler you know being gay is wrong. Your parents would kill you. But he's so cute. Is he gay? But- No. He's not cute. We should be friends with him, No, we shouldn't he's probably gay. But gay people aren't gross, some of them are really cool. Matt is bi. The black haired boy walks over to me. I watch as he does so. The boy waves at me. I just stare at his perfect body. He puts a hand on my shoulder. "Hello? Hey? Are you okay?" The boy asks. "Hm? Yeah, I'm good." I say. What is this feeling? It feels.. Weird. Like my heart is going to leap out of my chest. The boy smiles. My stomach also feels weird, not like a bad feeling though, it's a feeling I've never felt before. Why do I feel like this? "Dude? Are you sure your okay?" The boy asks. "Yep." I say. I look forward. "Hey, uhm, this is probably super weird, but would you be my friend?" I ask. "Sure!" The boy says, with a smile. I smile internally. Stop. You are dating Claire and your madly in love with her. Yeah. Right? Yeah.

------------------------

I rush into my car. I groan. "What the hell is wrong with me?!" I yell. I hit my head with my hands. I feel warm tears run down my cheeks. "I'm so dumb.." I say. I start the car. I just sit there and cry. I cry and cry and cry. I can't be gay. I text Gia. Gia is pansexual and she's my sister, maybe she'll know what to do. I drive over to Olives house. Olive is our aunt and Gia lives with her since mom and dad don't like gay people. Olive isn't much older than us, and she really hates our mom for trying to raise us to hate the lgbtq community. I don't know what to do. I don't think I'm gay. But then again Leo looks so cute. Leo must not be gay though. I hope he likes me. No! No! No! You're dating Claire, remember? I sigh. What the hell is wrong with me!?! I realize I'm at Olive's. I park my car on the curb and walk up to the door, almost slipping on the snow. I knock on the door. The door swings open. Gia quickly pulls me into a hug. "Are you okay? I got your text. You sounded really confused." Gia says. "I don't know.. I don't know what's happening to me.." I say. She pulls away from the hug. She wipes my face. "It's perfectly fine to be confused." She says. "Come in, Olive made scones." She says. "Okay.." I say. I walk inside. I slide my boots off and hang my jacket up. Gia leads me to the kitchen. "He's here." Gia says. "Aww, buddy. Are you okay? Did you tell your parents?" Olive asks. I shake my head vigorously. "I don't want them to kick me out, they think I'm the perfect kid, now I ruined their hopes." I say. "Well is it just for this one boy? Or is it for a bunch of other boys?" Olive asks. "It's for the one. Like I've never felt more attracted to anyone more in my life. He looked so cute and I was so confused. And I still am. Because I'm dating someone and I feel nothing really special with Claire when I see that boy. Should I break up with Claire? But what if she goes to my parents! And she tells them! What would I do?!" I say. I feel tears in my eyes again. Olive notices this and pulls me into a hug, this absolutely breaks me and I start bawling my eyes out. "I'm so confused." I say in between sobs. "Shhh.. It's okay, Ty. We'll figure it out. Together. Gia and I will be here every step of the way." Olive says. "First step, figure out if your truly in love with this boy, second step, breaking up with Claire, I love her but you like someone else. So, just for this week or something, try to figure out if you like him." She says. I nod.

-----------------------

(A week later.)

Leo and I have hung out almost every day of the week. It was so nice. But I definitely think I'm in love with him. But Leo isn't. He's in love with a different guy.. I feel so dumb. I am just an idiot who doesn't deserve anything. I have to make things right with Claire, just because Leo might get with another guy doesn't mean I should still date Claire, it's not right to her, she doesn't deserve that. She deserves a guy or girl, who knows what they want. I'm a problem. I rush out of the house to go to Olive's. "Tyler! Where are you going?!" Mom yells. Shit. "uhm.. Matt's!" I say. "Okay! Are you sleeping over?" She yells. "Yeah!" I yell. "Ok! Have fun!" She yells. I close the door. "Phew.." I say. I get into my car and begin the drive to Claire's house. I need to break up with her.

-----------------------

I arrive at Claire's. I knock on the front door. The door opens. "Hello, Mrs Thompson." I say. "Oh! Hello! Claire didn't say you were coming, she's in her room." Her mom says. "Thank you." I say. Her mom allows me in and I walk upstairs. I knock on the door. "Just a second!" Claire yells. She opens the door. "Wha- Oh! Babe! Hah- What are you doing here?" She asks. "I needed to talk to you." I say. "Oh, come in." She says. She leads me into her room. I sit on her bed. She sits next to me. "What's on your mind?" She asks. "I think we-" I get cut off by a noise. It sounds like shuffling in the closet. "Who- is there something in there?" I ask. "Oh, it must be my cat. Carry on." She says. I give her a weird look. "Oh we just got a cat." She says. "But Milton is allergic to cats." I say. "Uhhh-" She says. I stand up and walk to the closet. "No!" She yells. I open the closet and see a guy in his boxers, just standing there. "What the hell?!" I say. I look at Claire. "I'm sorry.. I- I love both of you, I couldn't choose." She says. "Oh my god. We're done. That's just it. I gave you so many fucking chances!!" I yell. I storm out of the house. I get into my car and slam the door. I hit my head. "How fucking stupid am I?! First I think Claire will finally be loyal and second I think I actually have a chance with Leo?!" I yell to myself. I drive to Olive's house, scolding myself the whole way there. I get a text almost as soon as I pull into Olive's driveway. I park and look at my phone. 'Hey, Wanna hang? We can go to the mall or smth. :))' I smile at Leo's offer. God, should I? I should ask Olive and Gia. I get out of my car and walk into Olive's house. "Olive? Gia?" I yell. Ben starts barking. "Hey! Ben, it's just me." I say. "We're in here!!" Gia yells. I walk into the kitchen. I show Gia the text. "Should I?" I ask. "Uhm, YES!! But wait did you break up with Claire?" She asks. "Yeah, she was fucking that guy." I say. "Ugh, she's such a wh*re." Olive says. "Yeah." I say. "Do you want anything?" Olive asks. "No, I'm good." I say. I jump up onto the counter. I respond to Leo's text. 'Yeah! That would be fun! Do you need me to pick you up?' Gia goes back to cooking with Olive. I wait for Leo's response. 'Yeah, my parents had to take the car 🙄' He responds. "Okay, I'm going out with Leo." I say. "Okay! Have fun! Are you coming back?" Olive asks. "Yeah." I say. "Okay." She says. I run outside and jump into my car. I drive to Leo's house.
