⋆.˚ Turkish Quandale Dingle POV ⋆.˚

@whiteshirt has added you to the group

I stared at the notification on my phone before pressing on it. it was especially chilly that day, tucked away in my bed, skimming through the chats quickly i realised there would be a party that weekend.

and Blue tie was going to be there.

Our history was complicated. He was one of my closest friends and leader of the group. Memories of events, like HoCo 2019, were some that I'd reminisce on. We were just kids then, and Blue Tie's coronation seemed like a lifetime ago.

That night he had just been announced homecoming king in the auditorium. It was exciting, I slipped away to the bathroom to escape the commotion of homecoming night. He came out of the stalls with a smile on his face as our eyes met in the mirror.

"Congratulations, bro" I smiled wryly as I leaned in to dap him up.

"Thanks, Turkish," he said smiling softly as he held onto my hand just a bit longer, chest to chest while his gaze burned right through me.

My blood immediately rushed to my cheeks. I looked away in a desperate attempt to break the tension. this feeling was so foreign to a boy like me. With his touch, my world tilted on its axis, with meaning, with purpose.

He continued to hold my gaze, and in that moment, I couldn't help but be drawn to the warmth and depth of his brown eyes. He had me under a spell, I found myself reciprocating his unwavering stare. With a sense of surrender, I closed my eyes, allowing myself to be controlled by the moment.

His touch was both firm and tender as his hand found its way to my waist, tracing the curve of my back with a gentle exploration that sent shivers down my spine. Before I knew it, the group leader was planting little passionate, soft kisses on my lips.

A few minutes had passed. He slowly drew back from me, his hands still on my waist and mine on the back of his neck, scratching his head softly as I played with his hair. I had never kissed anyone before, I needed to catch my breath.

"Turkish" he tilted his head slightly as he stroked my cheek "You like me, don't you?" he smirked.

It's almost like he knew the power he had over me, how I was so small compared to him. I paused before nodding my head in response. It was true. I'd liked him since we were kids. He leaned in again, this time teasing my long nose with his before he came to my ear.

"No one has to know a thing" he whispered. Somehow the tension broke again like something snapped inside of him. He shot up abruptly and patted my shoulder playfully, almost dismissing what happened before running back out into the hall. I did feel pretty discarded when he did that. It was as if he could just go back into the world and be unaffected by the complexities of our moment and no one would bat an eye, and it was up to me to carry the weight of it.

That was 6 years ago though, since then the group leader and I, had been in a secret relationship for 5 years, only deciding to end things recently. I remained by his side like a loyal dog while he cycled through girlfriends each year. Love was never one to find me so I stayed single, and stayed loyal to the one person who had my heart. What else could I have done? he was everything to me.

Things between us ended last week. Terribly.

"You lied to me!" Blue tie hissed as he grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and slammed me against the wall. His anger casted him in a light I had never seen before, sending chills down my spine

I had grown tired and frustrated by Blue tie's constant cycle of relationships and his inability to understand my emotions, so I decided to get to know someone new—White Shirt. It was nothing too serious, just casual flirting. He had even transferred schools only recently before I helped integrate him into our friend group.

"You're a fucking hypocrite blue. I haven't done anything with him but you can rizz up girls all the time!?"

"A guy like me can't just be single, Turkish. I'm a high commodity! If I don't get girls everyone's gonna know something up!"

"And a guy like me can?" I scoffed in disbelief, unhanding myself from him as I walked away.

"if you walk away Turkish.." he choked up with tears, struggling to form a sentence "Then we're done!" he screamed almost desperately.

I turned around, giving him one final look as I pushed the door open, and walked right on out. I couldn't continue down a path that only led to betrayal and jealousy. I deserved better than this.

White shirt added me to a group chat for our friend Jillian's sweet 16 party, but the idea of facing Blue tie took away any excitement I might have felt.

I knew that Blue tie wouldn't let me off easily. He had a way of coming back with a vengeance, getting back at anyone who pissed him off. I couldn't shake the feeling that I would never truly be free from the grasp of the group leader who had held my heart in his hands for so long.
