I woke up the next morning to the sun shining on my face. I felt around to find that Eddie wasn't next to me. I groaned as I started to rub my eyes. I slowly sat up and pulled the covers off of my body. I swung my legs off of the bed and stood up. I looked around confused. But the memories of yesterday started to flood back to mind. Then I looked around again. Something wasn't right. I realized that I was sleeping in my own bed. I looked at Eddie's bed to see that he wasn't in his own either. Did he put me back into my own bed? Why would he do that? 

I walked to the dresser and grabbed a pair of jeans. I put them on then walked over to the wardrobe to find a shirt. I picked one at random then pulled it over my head. I left the room thinking about why I woke up in my own bed. I slowly walked down the stairs to see James, Seamus and Eddie sat at the small table in the kitchen. 

"Morning" I said. Eddie smiled but looked guilty. The other two had smiles on there face but looked really uncomfortable. 

"What's going on?" I asked, Seamus and James looked at Eddie. So did I.

"Eddie what's going on?" I asked again. 

"They know" He said in a quiet voice.

"What?" 

"They know Aleks" I started to worry. They know about us. How could they know unless Eddie told them. Why would he tell? After I said I wasn't ready?

"W-What?" I started to panic. "How could they know Eddie? Eddie did you tell them, even after I told you that I didn't want to" I started to hyperventilate. Eddie got up out of his seat and ran over to me, panicking. He put his hand on my shoulder and tried to calm me down. 

"Aleks I didn't tell them, well I did sorta but not like that. They heard" I looked at him confused as my breathing started to go back to it's normal state.

"Heard what exactly?" He left go of me and awkwardly started to scratch the back of his neck. 

"They heard... you" I felt myself start to break down "They heard you last night. What could I tell them" I felt tears form in my eyes. "Aleks don't cry. It's alright they know and understand" He pulled me into his chest. I left out my tears.

"B-But I'm not ready" I sobbed into his chest. He grabbed my shoulders and pulled me away, looking me in the eye.

"Aleks. Everything will be fine. They live here, they were bound to find out one way or another. If you really don't want anyone else to know then that's fine" I nodded, tears still streaming down my face. 

Eddie then turned to face James and Seamus. 

"Hey is it alright if you don't tell anyone?" Eddie asked them. They both looked really awkward and uncomfortable. James finally nodded.

"Yeah sure, I guess" He muttered. Eddie smiled.

"Yeah we won't tell" Seamus said quietly. Eddie giggled and turned back to me. 

"See every things fine" He said reassuringly, but I shook my head.

"No, no it's not" I said and Eddie looked worried. "Look at them" I pointed at Seamus and James "They obvious don't feel comfortable around us now" 

"Aleks but we-"

"Eddie, I can't do this if all of our friends are not comfortable with us" He looked like he was going to burst into tears, like someone had just ripped out his heart. "I'm sorry Eddie" And I backed away from him.
