Garroth's P.O.V.~

I just ran. I didn't know what I was doing. That was stupid. Why would he ever like me? He has Aphmau.

Aphmau. The girl I almost kissed.

Aphmau. The strong and beautiful lord of Phoenix Drop.

Aphmau. The woman I had loved for so long. So why...

...Why am I in love with Laurence?

I ran behind the haunted house all the while crying. I just couldn't hold it in anymore. I had to finally admit to myself I wished Laurence and I were more than "bros." I slumped against an old oak tree, hugging my knees. You don't like Laurence, you don't like Laurence, you don't like-

"Garroth..?"

I knew who it was. The one person I would rather die than talk to right now. I just burried my face into my jeans even more. I knew he would never just walk away without an answer. At least it was worth a shot...

I heard him shuffle around as leaves crunched beside me. I felt a presence next to me. Laurence. He waited a few moments until he spoke.

"...Garroth, I'm just confused..." he started.

I wanted to punch myself in the face. It was stupid how I just ran away like that, I know. But just think about how confused the group was when I just sprinted away. Really though, what else could I have done? Stood there like an idiot while they all stared at me? No, I didn't want that. Just some peace and quiet to think about this whole fiasco.

"I don't hate you Garroth, I...."

"You what?" I said, lifting my face from my jeans. I didn't care that my face was stained with tears, I wanted him to know I was so sorry for everything.

He sighed. "Why did you do that Garroth?"

I froze. Why? Because I love you, for Irene's sake. I love you.

"I... I don't know," I said, lying through my teeth.

He looked over at me. A mixture of hope and sadness on his face, he said, "There's something you aren't telling me, Garroth. I can tell."

I just wanted to become a tree for a second. Not have to answer Laurence's questions, and just be a calm, nice tree like the one we were both leaning against. But that wasn't an option. I tried to think of another lame lie, but I knew that would just make it worse than it already was. I mustered (AUTOCORRECT, NO. I DON'T MEAN "MUSTARD") all the courage in my body, and braced myself for the worst.

"I..."

I lowered my face down into my knees, looking to the left, away from him.

"I-I l-like you L-L-Laurence... A l-l-lot..."

Wow. Great job totally not making an idiot of yourself Garroth. Woo.

A few moments passed, and I waited to hear him yell at me. No way he'd ever-

"Y-You do...?"

I felt my face heat up. He didn't sound angry... did he really... no...

"I...."

"I like you too..."
