Ryan's Pov

I woke up with a pounding headache. It was so silent in my room I could hear it.
My face was squished beneath a pillow to block out the sun light.

I cautiously pulled it away to look around my room.
It looked exactly the way it had the last time i remember seeing it.
The only difference was it smelt of sickness.

The medicine I was still taking from when we had the car accident was scattered across my end table.
I rubbed my eyes, letting them adjust to the sun light that caused rays to cover my pillow.

I reached for my phone to see text from Cry.
He explained everything that happened and told me I should hang out with my friends.
'You sounded so sad without them.' He had said.

I wasn't exactly planning on hanging out with the entire group.
But I heard Brian is back for a bit, and Brock is handling it extremely well.
So maybe I could hang out with them.

Of course my first thought was I wanted to hang out with Bryce, that's a given.
And Jonathan has been distant with us since thanksgiving so maybe I can convince him to take time out with hanging with Evan to hung with us.
And if he agrees Luke agrees.
And Craig, he is always up to leave his house.

Right as I was going to text Bryce, my stomach disagreed with me moving around.
I groaned.

Maybe in a few hours. I thought and hugged my stomach and rested my head against my Pillow.

Bryce's Pov

Finally settled in the apartment. I had help from my mother.

It was pleasant at first but, she saw pictures of Ryan and I.

She rubbed the bridge of her nose and looked as if she had saw a ghost.
"What is your father going to think?" She whispered.

The decorating Brock and Craig had done was very beautiful but my mother has a thing on helping it make feel like home. She had brought food, blankets, kitchen and cleaning supplies. It felt like someone was actually living in here, and not some decorated apartment.

She was helping me clean when she picked up a framed photo of Ryan and I at his grandmothers.

"I don't know. I'm not even sure if he is my father the way he acts." I mumbled.

She turned to me with a sad look. "You know your father loves you-"

"Loved."

"He loves you very much. It would kill him-"

"I believe he already knows. Remember in freshmen year when I had Jonathan over. We were making jokes and Jonathan said 'It's so cool having another gay in our school. It was like destiny. God was like these to gay little boys will be best friends' Dad overheard and yelled at Jon and I."

She gave me a sympathetic smile. "Oh darling, he was scared. He thought Jonathan was gonna turn you."

I frowned, "You make it sound like we are diseased. And anyways I knew I was gay since middle school. Before Jonathan came out."

She smiled, a genuine smile, a motherly smile. "I want to meet him."

"You've already have," I said "he has spent the night multiple times."

She nodded, "but I haven't actually talked to him. And now it's different, he is your boyfriend."

Now it my turn to smile, "You will like him. I promise." My smile turned into a scared frown, "Are you going to tell Dad?"

She shook her head, and right as I let a sigh of relief out she spoke.
"You are gonna tell him yourself. But for now I want to have dinner with my son and his boyfriend."

I nodded and kinda hopped a little I was excited.

I hugged her, "I'm going to go call him."
