Finally got to go home with a nice warm feeling in my stomach; this was caused by being stuck for a couple days with my boyfriend and best friend even though I felt sick as hell. I actually managed to get better. I believe we have to go back to school tomorrow but I'm not sure if I'll go or not yet. The coughing stopped but then there's the sneezing and other stuff to deal with. I haven't done my homework either so I don't really want to do anything either. I was sure Mom almost cried when I walked through the door because I was gone so long and probably thought I died, even though I had talked to her yesterday. Finn greeted me nicely with a nonchalant hello from the lving room as he drunk some hot chocolate, talking to Garrison on the phone. Also, when I was conscious enough to talk to Ariel she told me about why Demetrius and Hunter broke up.

-

"So what did he say?"

Ariel sighed, sipping her cup of coffee. "He said he was just finished with the relationship and he didn't need to justify his actions."

"That's bullshit," I croaked. 

She nodded along with me. "When I tried to dig deeper he got all pissy and started spewing some bullshit shit about how the relationship ran its course and he was just tired of him. Pretty rude if I had any input but of course he shut the door on my face. God, why did y'all --oh god I sound like an american-- have to break up? He's a real asshole now."

"But that makes no sense. On Valentine's day they were all over each other and it was absolutey sickening to watch. I thought they were happy."

She shrugged, "I guess not, Ty. Maybe he was really just bored and they broke up. Maybe this time he doesn't have any different motives. We just won't know. He shut me out. I was your only inside spy. There's no one. Just don't worry about it. This has literally nothing to do with you."

-

But alas, it had everything to do with me. Call me a self-centered prick but 9 times out of ten it has something to do with me. 

March 7th, 2018

There was school today and I dodged all the questions like a pro. I did the decent thing, not disguising myself or anything, but rather had my bodyguards (Finn and Jared) protect me for most of my classes. It didn't help that Demetrius was everywhere with that irritating smirk and those fucking skinny jeans I like that show off his ass. God he's so annoying. Hunter hadn't showed his face at all, much to my relief, even though I was a tad bit scared the entire day. The good thing was that there was a 2 hour delay so I wasn't there too long. The fact that I didn't feel like shit was great too. What wasn't great was my later confrontation with Demetrius. Yes, I went against Ariel because god knows he would mostly likely respond to me. And I was correct in my asumptions. 

-

"What do you want, TYler?" Demetrius said, opening a can of soda and tossing it in my directions. He was being an all American asshole.

I put the can of soda down. "You know full and well why I'm here."

He looked genuinely baffed by even the concept of me coming over here. "Wow. I didn't realize I knew why you. That was pretty stupid of me, wasn't it?" that sentence was dipped in sarcasm and sprinkled with annoyance. The lord was testing me.

"Why did you break up with Hunter? That's the one thing I want to know and the sole purpose of me being here." I honestly didn't care about anything else besides that. Above all else, I was trying not to curse him out.  "And here I thought you had come to hang out. Such a shame." he said with not even a care in the world.

"Can you stop with the smart-ass comments and answer the damn questions?!" I was starting to get angry now. The last time I got angry it turned out bad for everyone. Demetrius was testing me. 

He shook his head. "I'll tell you the same thing I told Ariel. I felt the relationship wouldn't go anywhere so I just ended it. Graduation is coming up in May so why shouldn't I cut all ties early. I probably won't see any of you after then. I'm just getting ready for unnecessary goodbyes. Rather break hearts now than later." he shrugged. "I'll even have to say goodbye to you."

I rolled my eyes even though I knew he was completely serious. "You don't have to say goodbye to me if you don't want to, Demetrius."

He sighed, moving from his position on the couch, over to me. "What is this relationship we have, Tyler NightLock? We aren't really friends and we aren't together so why do you still even bother with me anymore?"

"I don't know. I'm just too....emotionally attached to you. We were best friends then boyfriends. I don't know what to do."

He was noticeably getting closer to me, I was just about close to being back away into a corner. "I propose three options. One. Walk away and go to your boyfriend like I never existed. Two. We stay friends even though there's so many problems between us and we'd probably be at each other's throats. Or three--" I didn't get to find out what three was because he kissed me. His hands were on my waist and I couldn't do anything other than stay still. I was stuck in the corner while Demetrius was kissing me with so much passion that I didn't know what to do but kiss back. God, I know it was wrong of me and I was just messing myself up but it felt natural. Kissing him was like a second nature to me. No matter what I always got a response. We stayed there a while, kissing with our eyes closed. It was as if the world stopped for a minute and it revolved around us in this one moment...and I loved it. By the time he broke the kiss for a breath I didn't know what I felt. I still had my eyes closed because I knew once I opened my eyes the world would come crashing down. I would get mad, leave then ponder in my diary for venting reasons, then I wouldn't know what to do. "Tyler, are you okay?"

"Just shut up and kiss me again, you asshole." And he did. 

-

I swear we were in that corner forever. I honeslty didn't want to leave but as usual, the world had to move on. Once we were finished with the moment and he let me out the corner I left. I hadn't said anything to him before leaving but I'm sure he knew. We both knew that we had that one moment to share. And I'm sure it'll be the last. God I'm so fucking screwed.
