Declan reaches for me needing support. I don't blame him this isn't what we expected today.

"Do you want to go lay down for a bit Bub?" His dad asks softly.

"No, I'm fine. I just need a minute and some air." He says pulling back.

"Ok we will give you guys some time to handle this and stall." My mom says and they leave us.

Grey pulls the sliding glass door open and steps out. He tilts his head back taking in the stars.

When his shoulders start shaking lightly I'm already wrapping my arms around him. Dec starts rubbing his back lightly.

"I feel so much relief; it makes me feel guilty."

"Why do I feel like this?" He asks no one in particular.

"I don't know Sunshine." I hug him tighter.

I'm not sure how long we stand outside like this, but eventually Grey pulls back. His eyes are noticeably red and puffy. After he's calmed down more we head back inside, he splashes cold water on his face a few times.

We end off the night with another movie; none of us are ready to go back to school yet. Especially not with the newest development.

A MONTH LATER....

"William you're going to be late hurry up!" Mom yells from downstairs.

God she's rushing more than I am, I have plenty of time. I don't have to be to the school till three, it's twelve fifteen. Graduation doesn't start till three thirty.

"William!" She calls again.

"I'm coming woman!" I say yanking the door open.

"Mom I don't even have to be there till three, calm down."

"I know honey but I want you to be able to spend some time with Grey and Declan before that."

Grey moved in with Lily and his dad two weeks ago, so I haven't seen as much of him as before. I miss him and Declan so much. I miss the cuddles and physical touch all the time. I miss the deep conversations at all hours.

"Honey, you look sad." Mom says coming around the counter.

"I miss seeing them here all the time. I know I still see them both everyday, but it's different when I don't wake up with them in the morning."

"Oh honey, you know Grey moving in with his dad and Lily is a good thing right?"

"Of course I do. I just miss them. Sometimes the bond Declan, Grey, and I share scares me." I'm sure it scares my mom too. I've never felt like this it's terrifying.

"Will, everything you're feeling is normal. I know you're scared, but you love both of them. I haven't seen love like this since my parents. It's special and terrifying." I know she's right about this.

"Besides poor Grey needs a break with how often you jump him. Honestly I'm surprised he can walk half the time."

"Mom!" I groan, I mean she isn't wrong but does she have to point it out.

"I love you, but I need to go. I'm supposed to meet Grey and Dec soon." I need to leave right now; we're meeting at Declan's and heading over to the school together.

It's not a long drive, and I'm glad. My car is barely in park before Dec's door opens. Grey rushes down the sidewalk to me.

"Hi Sunshine, I missed you." I murmur sweeping him up into my arms. He gives me a quick kiss laughing lightly.
