Training Wheels {Zerkaa}

{Chapter Nine}

"Simon, what's wrong?" I ask.

Simon sighs and rubs his forehead in frustration.

"What does it matter?" Simon stresses.

I could see tears steaming down his cheeks. I wrap my arm around his shoulders, pulling him against my side.

"What happened Simon?" I ask.

"Coraline broke up with me." He sniffles.

"Oh.." I gulp. "Why?"

"I-I, uh, it doesn't matter." Simon growls and pushes me away.

"Si-Simon.." I say shockingly.

"Just fuck off." Simon cries.

"Simon, I'm here for you. You promised we'd tell each other everything. It can't be that bad of a reason!" I exclaim.

I try to hug Simon but he pushes me off.

"It is. Just don't touch me!" Simon shouts.

"I'm your best friend, Simon!" I snap.

"Leave me alone." Simon murmurs.

"You can't push me away because she broke your heart." I scream.

"Go cry over Josh, see if i care." Simon yells.

I look at Simon in disgust before running off in tears. To that day, I never saw him again. I never even heard from him.

"You never told me Simon." I sigh, collapsing on his bed.

Simon turns around on his gaming chair and looks at me weirdly.

"What are you talking about?" Simon questions nervously.

"Josh told me the real reason you and Coraline broke up." I answer as I sat up on the comfy bed.

"Wh-what real reason?" Simons voice sounds shaky and nervous.

I could see goosebumps forming on his arm.

"She broke up with you because your gay, didn't she?" I demand.

"Ha, me? Gay? Pff, I ain't shit." Simons acting is the worst thing I've ever seen.

"Tell me the truth Simon! You pushed me away because you were gay! I could of helped you!" I shout.

"I'm sorry." Simon apologises. "I didn't tell you because I was scared of losing you."

"But you told Josh." I breathe out. "Why?"

"Be-because I kissed Josh." Simon admits.

My eyes widened, my jaw drops.

"You knew I liked him Simon!" I shout, out of control.

"I know. I didn't mean to kiss him! Just let me explain, please.." Simon cries, his eyes watering.

"Go on." I say.

"Me and Josh were in the park. We were chilling and laughing. I wanted to tell him that I was gay but I didn't know how to say it, so I kissed him. I didn't think. There was no feelings there," Simon promises.
