Chapter 12:

Alex’s POV:

I couldn’t bear it anymore, all this stress and pressure. I just… I needed to tell someone about my problems, about the thing with my mom. So I decided to tell David. I skipped class and called him. I knew I was disturbing him but I was sure he wouldn’t mind.

So. We found an empty classroom and went in there. I was very upset and David noticed that so he asked me what was wrong.

“I need to tell you something. You might need to sit down.” I told him, tears building up in my eyes.

“Oh my god. You’re not gonna tell me that you don’t wanna be friends, right?” he replied, sitting down on a table.

“No. Of course not.” I chuckled a little. “But seriously, I’ve been having something on my mind. And it’s been making me feel very bad about myself and… and I feel like I need to tell someone about it or my heart will explode.” I started sobbing.

“Wow. This seems serious.” He squinted in worry and took me by the hands.

“It is.” I laughed a little, looking down.

“So what is it?” he bent down and looked into my eyes.

I let out a big sigh and started telling him everything.

“Well. It all started a few days ago. Um, my mom called me and she said that… um… that she knew that I’m gay.” I hiccupped.

“C’mon, just let it all out. How did she know?” he gave me some soothing words.

I sobbed more and more as I tell him everything. And at some point I broke into tears and cried vigorously.

He didn’t say anything but he was being very supportive. He kept squeezing my hands. I didn’t dare to look him in the eyes.

“I really don’t know what to do.” I said, looking at him. “I really just want to die.” I looked down again and let go of his hands while my tears were streaming down my face and neck.

David didn’t say anything for some time while I kept crying. He was probably just processing everything.

After a while, I heard David sigh. He suddenly stood up from the table he was sitting on and grabbed my shoulder. We looked deep into each other’s eyes. In his blue-ish green eyes I felt comfort.

He said to me with an assuring smile. “You have nothing to worry! No matter what happens, I will always be here for you.”

He pulled me into his chest and held me close. I quickly swiped away my tears, not wanting to ruin his shirt and held him back.

In his arms, I felt warmth and… protection… just exactly what I needed.

I closed my eyes and just enjoyed myself for the moment. And then, David let go of me. He lifted my chin. He looked at me and he whispered: “I know that this is not exactly the best time to say this but… I really like you. Like, really really like you. And I’m gonna help you make it through.”

He leaned in and kissed me softly, didn’t even give me a chance to say something.

Mmm… oh the feeling of his soft lips brushing against mine.

I really enjoyed the kiss. I really did. But…

I broke our kiss and look him in the eyes. I stopped crying but there were still some tears in my eyes.
