My Beloved Sunshine

Good morning (time for the tale of Shawn)

I made a pot of coffee and waited for the gang to catch up, Ellis was waiting in the kitchen with me after taking her shower, she didn't fully dry her hair so it looked almost white, Sylvin entered our room (I left the door unlocked after we woke up) looking completely disheveled and hungover.

Somehow he entered exactly when Ellis decided to sit beside me on the kitchen counter, putting her head on my shoulder.

"Wow, you two sure seem to get along."

"Idiot, we're just close. And trust me, he's really something else."

"Alright, how about I get my coffee and you two get a room?"

Veronica entered looking like she was ready for a modelling shoot.

"The hell Veronica? How do you look exactly the same despite rowdy nights?"

"Well Shawny, the secret is consistency." She said as she caught a glance of Ellis and me.

"Hey, how cute. You two seem like besties for life."

"V, he's such a great guy. Everyone deserves him."

"Okay, that went from overly friendly to overly too close for comfort."

Sylvin cane really close to me and whispered, loudly, "where's Rave?"

I gulped, I wasn't letting anyone else know the secret. "I'm pretty sure I saw her with someone so I'm assuming she hooked up with a guy and is in his appartment."

"Alright makes sense, good luck to him, he probably won't make it out alive."

"Yeah, Raven is the not type of person to have a choker fetish, she's the person who'll choke someone as her fetish." Veronica said.

"Yeah, I wish she can choke me...to death, cuz I feel like dying right now."

"Good morning Rishabh, how was the couch?"

"Good morning Ellis, the couch served as the perfect place for me to cry myself to sleep."

Oh shit, I totally forgot about yesterday.

"Hey Rish, how about you drink your coffee first?"

"C'mon man, no fair he just woke up." Sylvin said, rightly not focusing on the bigger issue.

" 'Crying myself to sleep'? Rish what happened?"

"Oh Ver-"

"Okay there, buddy!" I said to cut him off before he said anything. "Buddy can we talk in private?"

I pulled him to a corner. "Dude, no one knows that Raven is gay. We have to make sure that no one finds out."

"Dude why are you worried about her? I am the one who got rejected and my choice turned out to go out with more girls than I do, why can't you support me here?"

"Trust me, I will be supporting you here. But think rationally, you got crushed, but eventually you'll get over it. If her secret gets out when you were at your worst, she'll never forgive you. I'm not sure that's what you want."

"No, but what do I do? You can't just un-love a person whom you liked for a few months."

"Few months? That's insane! Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because of that reaction."

"Listen, it sucks that it happened to you. How about you just stay here and maybe calm yourself down, regain yourself before we go for rehearsals?"

"Sounds right."

I gave him a quick hug and left to join the rest.

Veronica said, "Raven just texted me, she'll join us at the time of
rehearsals."
