Damien

Do I like them?

No

Did I love their company way too much?

Yes

I was straight, I've never had an attraction for dicks. I've always fucked girls, with protection obviously. It's not that I don't like gay people.
I really like Caleb. Not like that, but you know what I mean.

"Hey, Damien." Cameron sat down beside me. I look over at him.

"Yea?" I asked, as I hot glued on a popsicle stick to another. He began to talk, and I was only half listening. I was to focus on not burning myself.
Until he asked a question I didn't think he out of all people would ask.

"W-What?!"

"Stop being so loud!" He looked around, hoping no one was looking over here. "All I said was do you think she likes me?"

"So you like her?" I raised a brow.

"No... maybe. Do you think she does?" He asked once more.

"Do you want the brutal truth?" He nods.
"No, I don't think she does. But she has left me alone, so she must not like me any more."

"How can I get her to like me?"

Im gonna sound like fucking Caleb saying this.

"Act like yourself. And if she likes you, then good. But if she doesn't, there isn't a point to force it. I am not good with this feelings shit."

"So cliché, but fine." He sighs before standing.

"Wait!" I grabbed his arm, he looked at me and raised a brow. "How do you know if you like someone?"

"Well, for me; I realized that I really enjoyed being around her. More than most of my friends.
The random things she did would make me smile, even the embarrassing things. Not to mention I wanted to protect her, and I did impulsive things to protect her."

I looked over at Milo and Caleb. I was sitting over there with them, but I needed to plug up the hot glue gun.

"Have you experienced the same?"

I do enjoy being around them, and I've been talking to Brandon and Brayden less just to talk to them. Their dorkiness does make me smile, even if I cringe at it.

And when they're in danger...

**Flashback 1**

I frantically look around to only see his life jacket casually floating, it broke somehow.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!" I take off my life jacket off and without hesitation I dive into the water and I find him slowly sinking.

**Flashback 2**

In the distance I hear Milo cry out, and everything I know disappears from my mind.

Rage and Dread runs through me

"God, why is he so stupid! Sacrificing his own life for us!" I turn away from Cameron, not caring about what the fuck he was gonna say, "I'm going to find him, whether you like it or not."
