AN: so yeah my best friend just tweeted me demanding i upload the next chapter whilst i was editing so tell me what you think!

Barrone

I loved him that’s why I drew Drew. I smiled. I was still holding him. I frowned. The front of my t-shirt was becoming wet. Pulled back and looked at Drew’s face. “Drew, why are you crying?” he quickly wiped his face and sniffled. “It’s stupid.” I shook my head “To quote someone ‘nothing you say will ever sound stupid if its got you into a state like this so tell me’” I smiled at him and he returned it. I led him to the bed sat him down and kneeled in front of him. “I feel so confused”
“About what?” I was so concerned for him right now. “Everything, especially me and you” I froze.

Drew

“Everything, especially me and you” I mumbled the last part so Shane couldn’t hear it. I felt his hands which were on my shoulders tense. I looked up from my unmatching socks and looked at his face. Judging from the expression he had heard. Fuck a duck. I tried to stand but Shane suddenly spurred into action pushing me down onto the bed and hovering over me. “What did you say?” I didn’t know how to reply I suddenly felt so weak but even though he was pinning me I still felt safe. He didn’t look or sound angry either just confused. For some reason I felt full of courage. So I looked straight into his eyes and told him “I’m confused about everything, especially me and you”. I heard his sharp intake of breath and saw him lowering his head. I could feel his cool breath fan across my face. My heart was pounding so loud in my chest I’m surprised he couldn’t hear it. I lifted my head. We were centimetres apart. “Hey guys Kier and Bev- err never mind” Shane jumped off me and onto the floor as Luke slammed the door and disappeared. We looked at each other for a moment before Shane stood up and walked into the bathroom closing the door.

Luke

“Guys next time you want The Timids you can interrupt them!” I announced as I walked back into the kitchen where Keveridge were sat drinking tea both their heads shot up and looked down the hallway before turning back to each other and grinning.

Barrone

My heart was still pounding in my chest. I almost kissed Drew. I almost kissed my best friend. I looked at myself in the mirror. My face was flushed and my eyes were wide and dazed. I almost kissed him.

Drew

I was sat with my knees pulled up to my chest with my head resting on them staring at the bathroom door. How close were we, half an inch at most? It still felt like I could still feel his breath on my cheeks, his body heavy yet comforting on mine. I don’t think I had ever felt more nervous yet excited ever. I frowned. Did this mean he felt the same? I had to know. I tiptoed to the door and knocked lightly. “Shane? Are you alright?” I got no answer. “Shane, I’m coming in”. I pushed the door open and saw Shane sat like I was a few minutes ago against the side of the bath. He looked up at me when I closed the door.
