My eyes widened. 

"Y-You love me?" I muttered though my tears. Eddie placed his fingers softly under my chin and gently lifted up my face. 

"Of course I do" I giggled. He stood up "Lets go home" I nodded and he held out his hand for me to grab. I took it and heaved my self up. We both got into the car and headed home. 

The journey home was silent. Neither of us spoke. When we pulled up into the drive I went to exit the car but Eddie grabbed my arm. 

"Aleks" I turned to face him. He looked worried.

"Eddie, what's up?" He smiled but didn't let go of me.

"Aleks, I think we should tell the rest of the guys" I began to fell nervous.

"I-I can't, I'm not ready" I looked down at my feet.

"Aleks, there are friends. They'll understand. Why don't you want to tell them?" I felt a tear gently glide down my cheek.

"Because what if they don't. What if they judge us" Eddie frowned. 

"Aleks, they won't judge us" 

"WHAT IF THEY DO?" Tears started to pour."Eddie you can't guarantee that they will be fine with this"

His tilted his head away from me. 

"Your right I can't guarantee that" He looked up at me, staring at me with his beautiful brown eyes "But I can promise you this" He took my hand "I love you Aleks and no matter what happens I will always be here for you" I felt another single tear slowly glide down my cheek. 

"B-But I can't" I said, bowing my head. Eddie gently placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Aleks it's okay. We won't tell them until your ready" I looked up into his deep brown eyes and smiled.

"Thanks Eddie" He nodded and we both got out of the car. 

We walked into the house. James and Seamus weren't in the kitchen. I guess they've gone down stairs. Eddie pulled me into the kitchen.

"Eddie what are you doing?" He stopped and grabbed my waist, pulling me closer to him. He smashed his lips onto my own. I melted into the kiss but he pulled away. 

"I wanted to do that" I looked at him confused.

"But you can do that anytime" He shook his head.

"Everyone will be coming over soon and you said you don't want them to know yet" I felt guilty. Eddie wanted to tell them and I was the one making him wait. 

"Okay" I said quickly and quietly as we both walked slowly to the basement. 

When we enter we see that Jordan and Dan have already arrived. Jordan, James and Seamus were sat on the couch and Dan was at his computer. As we entered they looked at us.

"Hey guys, where've you been?" Jordan asked. I looked at Eddie.

"Erm... No where really, just out" He shrugged. Jordan looked confused.

"Okay then. Anyway we're going to have a game night and record it, you in?" Eddie nodded. Jordan then looked at me. "What about you Aleks?" I shrugged. 

"Sure dude" I said and went to sit next to James on the couch. 

When I sat down James looked at me worried. 

"What's up dude?" I asked him. He didn't say anything or look away. "Dude, what's wrong?" I asked again, seriously. He leaned in to whisper something in my ear.
