the betrayal 3

PoV Tad
My phone rang into my misery.

Bill?

I picked up.

"Hey.", I choked out.

"Hey, bro. I'm sorry. I was just really hurt and upset, you know?", he sighed.

"It's alright. I mean, I cheated on the girl you love. With your twin!", I sniffed.

"She abused you, Tad. Didn't she?", Bill said in a serious tone.

"Well, yes. But that's okay. I deserved it.", I shrugged.

Bill asked: "what makes you say that?".

"I should've known her anger and her ego! I shouldn't have provoked her."

"Oh my god, TAD STRANGE! You do not deserve to be abused!", Bill cried out.

Then he went on a rant about how awesome I was and how wrong Pyronica was to hurt me.

Oh, I had missed that idiot.

I don't know how, but Bill managed to have her take the post down and apologize to me.

I also told Bill why I was terrified of sex. He gave my the contact information of his therapist.

I started seeing the man regularly and worked through my problems.

I was so thankful to have the Cipher twins in my life. Lucky, too.

Will didn't pressure me to anything, ever.

Sadly, I felt like he was growing distant. As if there was something bothering him, that he didn't talk about.

PoV Will
I hadn't doubted my relationship or Tad, ever, until Mason tried to get with me.

Before I started dating Tad, Mason and I had some kind of "friends with benefits" thing going on, and now his constant flirting and love notes seemed so sincere.

I loved Tad, I just missed having, you know, sex.

"William! Wait for me!", Mason called out to me in the hallway. I blushed, but stopped walking and waited for him.

When he reached me, he stretched his hands out to me and opened them. He was holding a case with a necklace in it. It was a beautiful silver chain with a blue rose on it.

"Please accept this gift from me.", the young man said.

"W-why?", I asked.

"I saw it and it made me think of you. If you don't take it, I will be sad forever.", he claimed.

"Uhm. Okay? Thank you.", I sighed. Mason smiled brightly, then put the necklace around my neck.

I blushed.

In the afternoon I took Tad to my room.

"Tad, we need to talk.", I said. He nodded slowly.

"It's not like I don't love you, Tad, it's just...I'm so young and I want to try things. Be reckless and wild, at least a little bit, I", I stopped. I had reached for the necklace.

Tad looked away, but nodded.

"There's someone else, right? Someone, who can lay the world down at your feet and make all your dreams come true.", he sighed. Now it was my turn to look away.

"I don't want to loose you, Tad, as a friend. I also don't want to burden your friendship with Bill.", I sighed.

"It's alright. Honestly, I'm glad. I felt guilty anyway.", he shrugged.

"Why?"

"Because I knew I couldn't give you all the things you need." , he said.

"Now, go! Call him.", he added.

I hugged Tad shortly.

Before he left my room, he told me: "William? You deserve the world."

Then he was gone.

I didn't call Mason right away, but I started flirting back.
