Tyler's POV
Ethan what the hell....what are you doing? They're coming! Ethan doesn't pull away. Why won't he just pull away? He's gonna get in trouble....I do like him but I still care about his relationship with Mark. They're really cute and this could ruin their whole relationship! Think of how hurt he'll be...how hurt Mark will be...

We hear the door slam open and a gasp. "E-Ethan...? What are you doing?" Mark asks in a small voice. "Hey Mark sl- oh no..." Sean says skidding to a halt in the doorframe like Mark. Me and Ethan break away and Ethan looks at Mark. "What the..." Felix says standing next to Sean. "Ethan! What is this!" Mark screams in anger. He looks from me to Ethan and back again a few times before stopping on Ethan and glaring at him.

"I-I just..." he trails off and looks at the floor. Mark pushes through Sean and Felix in the doorway and we hear the front door slam. Then tires peeling out of the driveway. "I messed up..." I heard Ethan whispering under his breath. I look at Felix and Sean and sit up. "Ethan and Sean stay here. Me and Felix need to talk." They give me confused looks and I stand up, grab Felix's arm and drag him to the basement.

Ethan's POV
I messed up so much...I was so happy with Mark. I know Tyler likes me but he didn't look happy with me. I hate myself. Why can't I be normal...why do I always hurt people? I'm pulled out of my thoughts when Sean sits on the bed, next to me and says "Ethan? Can ye please explain whot all that was?" He says gently. Is he being nice to you? Why would anyone be nice to you? You're just a piece of shit. You call yourself a human. You can't even be in a relationship with someone you love so much without messing it up.

I can feel the warm tears starting to stream slowly down my face. I feel Sean wrap his arms around me and pull me into a hug. I really need one. "Hey Ethan what happened? Just tell me. It's okay I won't tell anyone unless you ask me to." I look up at him and he's looking comfortingly at me. "P-promise?" I ask and sniffle. "Promise." He says confidently back to me.

Tyler's POV
"I wanted to get you away because I want to tell you what happened. Ethan is probably gonna tell Sean what happened because Sean is very comforting." I start explaining to Felix. "Okay so why'd he do it?" Felix asks. "Well...he was very scared. I don't know if he even knew it was me. I think he thought it was Mark or something. He was very shaken up by the recent events, whatever they were. As Mark and you guys started getting closer, I tried to pull away but he wouldn't. I know he could hear you. There's really no excuse for what he did, but I know he loves Mark very much." I explain, letting it sink in for a few minutes.

Ethan's POV
"Yeah. I was scared." By this time I had finished calming down and me and Sean were having a civilized conversation. I had explained about how scared I was and everything and he just started asking questions.

"So...where do you think you're gonna stay now?" He asked. "Probably here. I don't have anywhere else to go and I'm sorry but I really don't want to stay with you." Sean looks confused and a little hurt at first, but then a look of understanding comes over his face. "It's okay. I understand. So um...why Tyler?" I already explained this..."Because I thought he was Mark." I stated firmly.

"Hey...can I tell you something? And you won't tell anyone no matter what?" Sean contemplates this for a minute but finally answers with, "Yeah. Sure. I promise." And looks at me with full interest. "Tyler..." I trail off not sure if I want to tell Sean or not. "Go on. It's okay. I won't do anything." Sean says with an encouraging smile.

I explain about how a few weeks ago Tyler forced me into a kiss. He didn't know that I was dating Mark though. It didn't seem like he knew what he was doing, either. Sean just stares at me when I finish and finally he says, "Wow...I never thought he would do that. Tyler? Are you sure?"

"Yeah I'm sure. I'm sorry I just needed to get that off my chest. I hope it doesn't worry you because I feel like Tyler is changed now." Sean gives me a quick little hug and says "Of course! You can talk to me about anything." We hear footsteps coming up the stairs and down the hall.

"Hey guys..." Tyler says when he walks in the room. "Hey what's up?" Sean asks. "Ethan did you really-" "Tyler not now. I'll tell you what he said earlier, if that's okay?" Sean says giving me a look, asking for permission. "Of course." I say, "He deserves to know."

Tyler's POV
He's starting to act a little strange. He's probably really upset about it. He's almost acting happier than normal, but it's not going all the way through.

"Hey...Tyler I have an important question..." Ethan asks me awkwardly. Felix and Sean turn to look at him as I reply, "Sure. What is it?" "Well...I was wondering if I could stay with you for a while...maybe?" I just stare at him. He can't live with me...what if more stuff like this happens? Technically him and Mark are still dating. I can't take the risk. But he needs someone to stay with...he has no one and obviously wouldn't want to be around Sean and Felix.

Ethan's POV
I thought he was gonna say no because of how long it took him to think. Finally, he answers. "Sure" was all he said. "Okay great! Thanks!" I say and give him a larger than normal smile.

Hey I'm so sorry I haven't posted in such a long time! I'm busy with Instagram and friends and also watching a bunch of youtubers and TWD. I'm so sorry! There might be a surprise for you!
