ERIC'S POV
Jake's been acting very weird lately. It's been two days since I came home to find him upset and he's keeping something from me. Not telling me the truth about something. He's keeping secrets from me... I don't like it... We tell each other everything... We're best friends... He's acting like he doesn't trust me... He's always trusted me... What's he hiding?
JAKE'S POV
Go on Jake...Tell him.. He's your best friend.. Your boyfriend at that! Just tell him! He'll understand! He'll forgive you. I told myself as I held my head in my hands; over thinking my situation..
Today I decided that while we were eating I was going to tell Eric about Mike. And here we are.... Sitting in silence. Neither me nor Eric has said a word.
I reached over and grabbed his hand. He jumped and looked up at me. He looked sad. I sighed and started to talk.
"Eric." I said hoarsly.
"Yes? He said staring at his feet.
"We need to talk... About... us." I hesitated but spoke.
Thats when the tears started to stream down his face.
"Jake, you know I love you.. I love you so much." He said quietly.. Beging to shake.
"And I love you. It's just-" He cut me off.
"You wan't to break up don't you? After all the trouble we went through?! After all the confusion and the lies and the heartbreak?! You found someone better didn't you?!"
I stared at him. I didn't want to break up! Never in my life would I do that again! It was my turn to cry.
"Eric, why would you ever think I would want to break up?"
He stared at me before answering.
ERIC'S POV
"Who was here the other day?" I questioned.. I had to know.
"What?"
"Don't play stupid Jake. Anthony stopped me in the hallway on my way home from school and told me I didn't want to go home because of what I would find. So what would I have found if I would have come home? Huh? Who was here?!" Now I was getting angry. The fear of him cheating on me again was taking over. I needed to hear it from him.
"No one was here baby."
I snapped.
"Don't lie to me Jake! I know you're lying! I see it in your eyes! You always get this strange look when you lie! Like as if someone knew you were lying! I would know! I've seen it millions of times!"
"Eric, don't be silly. I'm not lying. No one was here."
"SHUT UP!!! JUST SHUT UP AND TELL ME THE TRUTH DAMNNIT!!!! YOU CAN'T KEEP LYING TO YOURSELF JAKE!!! YOU'RE HURTING ME HERE!!! I JUST WANT THE TRUTH!!! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST TELL ME THE FUCKING TRUTH?!"
I watched as the look on his face go from upset to terrifyed in seconds... I had never gotten that mad before... Never. Yes I've been upset. But I've never snapped at anyone like that.
"Eric," He started, "If I told you who was here, you'd kill me."
"Who. Was. Here?"
"Mike."
"Who?"
"Mike.. He was an old friend of mine who was the first to know I was Gay... I told him I loved you but I didn't think you felt the same way.. He dated me.. When I broke up with him he swore he'd get revenge on me... He moved to California and I never saw him again... That is... Intil a few day ago... While you were at school he snuck into your house and came up here. He talked to me. He kissed me and left."
He kissed him? Did Jake kiss back? Did he like it? Is he saying he's breaking up with me for Mike?
Who is Mike anyways? I've never ever seen Jake hang out with a Mike?
"Oh."
"Yeah, babe, I'm really sorry."
"D-Don't be.."
He smiled and hugged me... But I still can't shake the feeling that something bad.... Is about to happen...
