Chapter 3

(A/N) I sure do like cookies *waits patiently*

Mitch's POV

It took a few hours to muster up the courage to press the call button, but once I did it, I felt as though I would regret this. I took a deep breathe and listened to the dial tone and crossed my fingers that he would answer. The call rang for almost a minute before it flashed "Connecting..." .

Suddenly, Adam's beautiful face popped up in a tiny rectangle and I let out a sigh of relief. I looked into his eyes and noticed that he had been crying.

"Are you alright dood?" I asked before I could stop myself. He sighed.

"Yes... Well... No actually..." He looked down and looked embarrassed.

"It's okay. Tell Benja what's wrong." I said in a sickly sweet voice.

I saw the edge of his mouth twitch up into a smile. "Well... Ty's is really being a dick lately... And I'm just so miserable." He groaned to himself "And there's... A pretty big secret that I've been keeping from everyone..." I felt my heart rate increase.

"What is it biggums? Is it something mean?" I wondered out-loud.

His eyes widened "No! Of course not..." I gave him the 'then what is it' look and he sighed. "I... I-I can't tell you..."

"Das poop!" I exclaimed with worry laced in my voice. "You can tell me anything!"

"Well... I think I... Might really like someone else... Like really really like..."

I felt my eyes widen. "You don't mean like..." I leaned forward and whispered "Love, don't you?" I felt hope bubble in my chest.

He looked guilty and nodded. I bit my lip briefly before I spoke again.

"Well, Adam. There's something big I wanted to tell you also... Hence why I called you out of the blue..." I saw him look up at me with hope in his eyes. "I'm gay." I saw his eyes widen. "And I believe I'm in love with someone whom is very close to me..." I watched as one eyebrow cocked up. "Not Jerome!" I saw him shake with a chuckle.

"So who's this 'special someone'?" He wiggles his eyebrows.

"I'm not telling until you do!" Adam pursed his lips and gave me an agitated look.

"No... I'm not telling until you do!!" I sighed and tried to think of a way through this.

"Okay how about this..." I said after a few minutes of bickering. "We both say it at the same time... Okay?" He looked apprehensive but nodded in agreement. "Okay... So on the count of three. One..." I felt extremely nervous. "Two..." I paused for a bit longer than I should have. "Three!"
