[Reese pov.]

Days passed since we found out that Stu tried to kill himself but changed his mind at the last minute.

Billy and I have been keeping a close eye on him. Billy and I haven't left his side since that day.

I have never seen Billy cry before. He was always so control of his emotions, but I guess, learning that you could've woken up to your lover being dead...well, let's just say he wasn't the only one who was crying.

I couldn't imagine what I'd'd've done if I woke up and found stu dead. I probably would be grieving right now, or I would've probably gone and found stu's family and killed them.

Murder would be acceptable to me if stu died. I had to admit that with him in my life has been better, Billy too.

Billy and stu were my boys. Yep, I said it. Billy and stu are my boys, and if anything happens to them, I'll probably lose my shit.

Billy and I were with Stu when he told Tatum and Randy. We had told him that he didn't have to act anymore. That he didn't need to pretend.

In order to stop pretending, Stu needed to come clean to his friends. Tatum and Randy were shocked to find out that stu almost killed himself, but they were understanding.

Sidney, on the other hand, she seemed understanding, but it looked like she wanted to say something.

Luckily, she kept her mouth shut, or I would've punched her in her pretty face.

Stu had stopped pretending to be happy. He was sad most of the time, but he was moving around organizing.

Billy was in charge of his medication. He wouldn't even let stu near the bottle. He was scared, heck, I'm still scared that stu would try and make another attempt at his life.

A small sigh escaped me, and I looked over at Stu, who was sleeping.

We were in class, and it was a slow day. Stu had his arms crossed on the desk and his head resting in his arms.

His hair grew longer, but it wasn't that long. He wahses his hair daily but never bothers to style it.

I looked away from stu and at Billy. He looked bored, and he was tapping a pencil against his textbook.

[Billy's pov.]

School is so boring today. I wished we could've just stayed at home today. I could be cuddling with Stu and his stupid cats while horror movies, while Reese makes popcorn or something.

I just know that I wanted to go home and be with stu and Reese.

The bell rang, and stu was startled awake. He looked around, confused before sighing.

"You alright?" I asked, and he looked at me, nodding his head.

"Yeah, I'm just tired." Stu replied with a small smile.

He rarely smiled these days. If he did, it was just a small smile towards me or Reese.

"Let's go home, yeah? We could cuddle with your cats and watch movies?" I told him, and he nodded.

"We should stop at the blockbuster first and maybe grab some pizza on the way." Reese suggested

"Crazy bread, too?" Stu questioned, and Reese smiled, nodding her head.

"Yeah, absolutely." We stood up collecting our stuff before we walked out of the classroom.

"Billy," I held back a groan of annoyance as I heard Sidney call my name.

"What?" I turned and looked at her ,"Can we talk in private, please?" She questioned

"Stu and I will be outside." Reese said, hooking her arm with stu's before the two walked away.

"Talk." I told Sidney, who sighed.

"Listen, Billy, I get that stu is your best friend, but you have been spending way too much time with him," she started

"He's in a bad place, Sidney. He's needs help, and I'm helping him." I told her, glaring at her

"I know, but maybe there are doctors that could help him, Billy. I'm in a bad place too, Billy. Ever since my mom died, I haven't been the same, and I need you."She told me.

"Are you serious right now?" I scoffed, and she looked taken back ," it's been a year, Sidney. A year since your mom died. You keep using her as an excuse,"

"Oh, Billy, I can't go out with you. My mom died. Oh, Billy, I can't hang out with you. My mom died. Oh, Billy, my mom died. Oh my god! Give it a rest!" I snapped

Sidney gasped, her eyes widening, tears glistening in her eyes.

"Billy, my mom died. That's not something I can get over." Sidney told me

"Yeah? Doctors can't help stu."I told her ,"stu needs me more than you do." I said

"Why? His mom is still alive, Billy. Mine isn't - " I cut off Sidney

"Shut up! Who gives a fuck about your mom? This isn't about her! Stop bringing her up! She's dead. Get fucking over it." I was letting out all my anger out on her.

"I am so sick of your shit, Sidney. I can't take it anymore. You know, when my mom left, you were never there for me, and I accepted that because stu was there for me,"

"He was always there for me, and you weren't. So this -" I gestured to her and me, "whatever we had, is over. You and me are fucking done. I never loved you anyway." I spat out

"Billy, please, I need you. I'm in a really bad place right now and -" I cut her off.

"I can't help you, but maybe there's doctors that can." I told her before I walked away from her

Breaking up with Sidney was like a weight lifted off of me.

I felt relieved.
