I would like to dedicate this chapter to Chester Bennington (vocalist in the band Linkin Park ^^) Your music really helped me through a lot of tough times and you will forever be missed. Rest in peace my d00d.)

WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE

*Ryan's POV*

I. Was. Shocked.

Did I really just do that? Me?! The boy who is always quiet and weird just kissed the most absolutely sexiest man on the entire planet! My lips were still placed softly on his and at first, Cole didn't kiss me back.

But, after a few seconds of him processing what exactly is happening, he finally kissed me back. Relief spread throughout my entire body sending shivers down my spine and butterflies in the pit of my stomach.

Cole's arms were wrapped firmly around my waist and mine were wrapped around his neck. I never wanted this feeling to end. The butterflies swarming around in my stomach and the shivers down my spine sent ultimate waves of pleasure throughout my petite body.

I felt alive.

Cole slowly pulled his head back and looked at me as if he was memorizing every detail on my flustered face.

"I'm going to show you what it feels like to be alive, Ryan." I heard Cole's words in the back of my mind.

"I'm here for you Ryan, alright? You never have to hide your feelings from me again."

"Ya know, strong people can cry to and the world doesn't see them any differently. It's okay to cry, it's natural."

"I don't want you to feel like you have to hide your feelings from me. If you want to laugh, then laugh. If you want to smile, then smile. If you want to cry then by God cry and I'll be right here next to you, giving you my shoulder to cry on."

I immediately burst into tears and hid my face in his firm chest. They weren't sad tears of course, but they were happy which I had never felt in a long time. Cole hugged me tighter and started to rub my back. "Ryan, why are you crying?" He asked me with so much care in his voice.

Cole untied his apron around me and set it on the floor only to embrace me again tightly. "Ryan, look at me." He said as he lifted my head up with his fingers around my chin. "Why are you crying?"

"T-Thank you so m-much." I sobbed loudly. Cole gently wipped my tears away and hugged me tighter. "You don't have to thank me Ryan." I cried thank you one more time but Cole couldn't hear it because my face was buried in his chest.

*****

A couple hours had passed by and me and Cole were on the living room couch watching the television. Cole was sitting up and I was laying down with my head on his lap. Never in a million years did I ever think I would be laying in this position with someone. Especially another male.

Cole was gently running his fingers through my soft hair and it seriously felt amazing. But all of a sudden, the comfortable silence was broken when Cole's phone started to ring.
