ANTHONY'S POV

I saw Eric about to leave... He needed to know about Mike... I wasn't supposed to tell him... t was part of our plan... I want Eric... Mike wants Jake... We made a plan but I couldn't stick by it... Yes it would work but... It would hurt Eric.. I don't want to hurt him.. 

I'd tell him the truth even though It means I would lose him forever...

"Eric wait!" I cried grabbing him by his arm..

He turned around and stared at me.

"What Anthony?"

Please don't tell me I'm about to do this..

"You can't go home." I sighed..

"Um yes I can! It's my house!"

"You don't want to!"

"Why not?"

"B-because..."

"Because what Anthony? What am I gonna find?"

 "I- I can't tell you."

"Then I'm leaving!"

He turned around and walked off... Why couldn't I tell him?!

ERIC'S POV

I stormed out of the school...

Why was Anthony trying to keep me from leaving? What's Jake hiding?

I drove home and found Jake sitting in the living room holding his head in his hands.

"Hey... Jake?" I asked walkng over to him.

"Hm?".

"What's wrong?"

"N-Nothing."

"Hey, Jake... What's. Wrong?"

"It's nothing Eric."

"It's something Jake."

Please... Please tell me this has nothing to do with me...

"Jake", I croaked, "Please tell me."

"Eric, I can't."

"Why?"

"I just can't."

I stood up and walked to my room not even saying another word.

What's upsetting him so much that he can't even tell me?

JAKE'S POV

I know I should tell Eric what happend... But I just can't bring myself to say it... It's upsetting me.

I need to tell him... I really do. But I can't.

MIKE'S POV

"So, did you talk to Eric today?" I asked Anthony casually.

"Yeah." He siad looking down.

"What? Decided you don't want to do this anymore?"

"I just can't.. He'll hate me... That's not what I want."

"Oh come on.. He's not gonna hate you. I promise." I said kissing him.

"Okay."

Our plan should work perfectly. If it doesn't... Well... We'll both be in a lot of trouble.
