Does It Ever Get Better? (On Hold. Again. I'm Sorry)

"Make This Moment Last Forever." - Chapter 32

3rd person p.o.v.

Todd was with his old friend, Aiden. They were walking down a boardwalk, catching up on all things that had happened since last speaking. Aiden Walker was a tall, lanky boy with black hair and sharp blue eyes. He pulled off the alternative look without even trying. He hadn't seen Todd, or any of the Wolf's since they were about seven. They saw each other briefly at the funeral held for Evelyn Wolf. After that, as stated before, they all lost contact. Except Todd and Aiden kept the most contact out everyone. They never truly fell out of touch- Well, Aiden became a lot more popular than Todd, but they'd texted a lot. Not enough for Todd's liking, or his his heart's liking. As the two boys walked off the boardwalk, a girl with long brown hair ran into Aiden and fell on her ass onto the soft sand. That girl was Evan and she then threw a rock at him, as if he knocked her down on purpose. Spitfire, that girl is.

"Ow!" Aiden exclaimed and held his lower stomach which is where the rock landed. Evan looked at her older brother and smirked, seeing the embarrassment in his eyes and a slight blush form. "Todd! Your sister attacked me!" Aiden said dramatically. He wasn't upset, he found amusement in her actions.

"Evan, go away." Todd said with a groan. He wound up coming out to Evan earlier in the week about his sexuality. Now his best friend, Lilly and Evan were the only ones who knew, along with Michael. Although, Evan was upset that he didn't tell her earlier. However, she is still hiding things from him.

She stood up. "Oh, I see." She said and looked between Aiden and Todd, then sent suggestive eyes to Todd.

Todd rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "Evan!" He warned.

"Okay, okay." Evan smirked and turned round, running off.

Aiden looked at Todd with amusment. "Did you understand what she was thinking?" Aiden asked with a brow raised.

"N-No." Todd answered then bit his lip. The two continued walking around the beach, resuming their conversation from before as they neared the volleyball courts.

Jordan, who was playing volleyball with a few other guys, saw Todd fidgeting with his bracelets. He only does that when he's nervous and/or likes someone, but Todd never came out to them. Jordan just knew he was doing it because of all the failed attempts Todd had when trying to hit on girls. The attempts only failed because of Jordan. "Little faggot." Jordan muttered to himself as an evil smirked grew in his lips.

"Are we playing, or what?" A guy called to Jordan who was too busy staring down his youngest brother.

"Yeah, just give me a sec." He told them and walked away from the court. He was quick to approach them and once he was in reach, he wrapped his arm loosley around Todd's neck. "What are we taking about?" He asked.

Todd jumped forward and managed to trip and fall on his knees. He was quick to turn around and face his laughing older brother. "What are you doing here?" He asked frantically.

Jordan crossed his arms and looked at him amused. "I came here with you." He answered plainly.

Todd rolled his eyes, but couldn't seem to muster the strength to stand back up, especially when Jordan was hovering over him. "No. I mean why are you here pestering me?!" He snapped.

Jordan chuckled softly. "Well, I was playing volleyball while my girlfriend takes a nap, but I saw you-" He paused and shook his head. "Why am I explaining myself to you?" He asked more himself than anyone.
