(Tyler's pov.)
I wake up with a gasp. I start breathing heavily. I quickly get out of my bed and leave my room. I open the sliding door and step outside, now standing on the cold deck. I take a deep breath. I sigh. What is wrong with me? I look around at the ever so slightly moving tree's. I look at my cold hands. The cold November air nips at my neck and arms. I suddenly feel warm tear stream down my face. I don't belong here, what is my purpose in life? I put my hands on my face, desperately trying to stop the tears, but miserably fail. Why am I alive? Why was I given life? I start to feel my feet becoming numb. I quickly pull my phone out of my pocket. I call him. "Hello? Tyler, are you okay?" He asks. I swallow before taking. "N-no.. I feel like shit, Leo. Can you- Can you maybe come here?" I ask, trying to make it seem like I wasn't just crying, but I think my breaking voice gives it away. "Yeah- Yes." He says. "Can you stay on the line with me?" I ask. "Yeah, of course. Why do you feel like shit?" He asks. "I-" I choke out. The real reason I feel like shit is.. I have no fucking clue. "Take your time, and you don't have to tell me." He says. "I don't know why I feel like this.." I say, looking at my freezing feet. "That's okay. Sometimes I don't even tell people things because I don't know why I feel like that." He says. I go back inside. "Tyler? Were you outside?" He asks. I stay silent. "Tyler?" He asks. I don't respond. "Tyler just hang on one second I'm almost there." He says, and that sends me over the edge. I just absolutely break down. Tears fall down my face, at a quick pace. "Tyler it's okay, I'm almost there, you need to calm down, breathe." He says. I try to do what he told me to do, but also fail. I drop my phone when there's a knock at the door. I quickly pick it up. I slowly open the door. Leo quickly engulfs me in a tight hug. I nuzzle my head into his shoulder. I sob into his shoulder for no reason, for fucks sake, I don't even know why I'm crying. "Tyler?" A girl asks. I turn around. "Are- Tyler, are you okay?" Luna asks. I sniffle. "Ye-" I clear my throat. "Yeah." I say. "Just- Get back to bed." I say. "Okay." She says. "You do know it's 5 o'clock right?" He asks. "What?" I ask. "Yeah." He says. "Shit- uhm- I'm so sorry." I say. He pulls me into another hug. I put my head on his shoulder. "It's okay, Ty." He says. "Hey, how about we skip school tomorrow?" He asks. I nod into his shoulder. "You should really get back to bed." He says. "Are you going to stay?" I ask. He nods. I pull away from the hug and lead him to my room.
(Leo's pov.)
He looks at me. I frown internally, knowing I have to leave him. So why not enjoy it now? No. Your just going to break the poor boys heart when you leave. I decide against not doing anything. I step closer. You're going to regret this Leo. I put my hands on his cheeks. I'll just kiss his head. I kiss his head. I give him a small smile. I sit on his bed. He walks towards me. "Tyler-" I say. He sits next to me. "I meant to tell you this earlier but- I got caught up in homework but uh- I'm- I'm moving to New York. For good. And- I don't know when I can see you again." I choke out, tears threatening to fall down my face. "Wha- No. Why?" He asks, clearly hurt. "My mom got a job offer that she just couldn't turn down, I told her multiple times I didn't want to go but I failed on convincing her." I say, looking down at my fidgeting hands. "I- I'll miss you. But if we're meant to be friends then the universe will bring us back to each other." He says, reaching for my hand. I gladly take it. I pull him into a hug. "I'll miss you too." I say. "When are you leaving?" He asks. "Friday.." I say. He chokes back tears. "I don't want you to go, Leo." He says. "We'll see each other again, I promise." He says. He hugs me again, for what could be one of the last it wasn't a hug either of us were very sure of, it felt full of sadness...
The two boys sat, crying into each others shoulders, never knowing when they would see each other again.
