A Paranormal Love (Ectofeature) (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 6

~Spencer~

"...Maybe? Spence! What kind of answer is MAYBE?!?" Billy started to raise his voice.

"I- I'm just not sure! Why do you want to know anyway?" I retorted.

"I'm your best bro. Sometimes, I just have to know these things!" He said.

"Oh yeah sure! Just like how you told me about the person you have a crush on!" I'm striking pretty low, but I'm too angry right now.

Billy looked hurt for a moment. What I said really stung him. Serves him right! He demands of me to tell him about my love life when he won't tell me anything about his? That's REALLY fair!

"Spencer. Just answer the question! There is no such thing as a 'maybe' when it comes to love! Do you like Shanilla, or not?!?" He persisted.

If you really want to play that game...

"Here's your answer!" I angrily grabbed my phone and immediately dialed a number.

"...Hello?" A drowsy voice answered.

"Hey! This is Shanilla, correct?" I glared at Billy while speaking.

"Yeah... Is everything alright, Spencer?" She asked.

I cleared my throat to make myself seem more calm. "Yes. Everything's fine. I just... wanted to let you know something." I felt slightly nervous.

"What is it? I- If it's personal, I promise I won't tell a single soul!" She was interested now.

"I... actually wanted to let you know that I..." There's... no going back after this...

"...have some feelings for you. I- I know this is sudden, but... I had to get it off my chest." My chest was pounding a little.

There was no response from her...

"...Shanilla? You there?" I asked.

"Y- Yes! I'm fine! Uh... Um... Well... Spencer... That brings up something else." She sounded nervous now too.

"What is it?" I asked curiously.

"I- I- I sort of... have feelings for you too... Sorry if this is awkward!" She responded.

"N- Not at all!" I blushed. "W- Well... just had to let you know! Um... See ya tomorrow at school! Night!" I tried to end the conversation quickly. I felt some butterflies in my stomach.

"A- Alright! Night Spencer!" She replied. We both seemed to have hung up at the same time.

I turned to face Billy, still a little aggravated.

"There! Are you happy now!" I yelled.

The reaction I was expecting to see, relief or anger, was not the reaction that he gave me...

He looked extremely depressed. Tears were sliding down his cheeks and... he looked even worse than any day that reminded him of being dead.

"...Y- Yeah... I'm... happy for you two..." He said, shivering ever so slightly.

I looked at him, not so angrily anymore, but mostly worried.

"Billy...? Are you okay?" I tried to walk over to him.

"I'm... fine... I just... need to calm down. Don't worry about me..." He said, before floating out through the roof.

"W- Wait! Billy! I only-" I tried to get him to stay, but nothing stopped him from leaving.

I sighed. I only did that to get him off my back. I thought he wanted me to confess in the first place...

Was I wrong? Should I have thought differently?
