A/N: >Picture of Tessa.

Oh and I decided to make the chapters longer, about 4+ pages or so. :) I'm sorry I didn't update for such a long time but it's exam time for me so I was preparing for my A-level Art exam and such. So sorry guys!

-Tyler-

'You know you will have to come out of your room one day.' Tessa's voice was a bit muffled because of the duvet that was on top of my head. I shook my head and sighed; letting go of the covers as the coldness hit my face. My nose scrunched itself and I raised my eyebrow at her.

'Whatever.' I slumped against the bed once again, my head hitting the soft pillow. Her curvy body pushed my own a bit, making space for her to go under the covers with me. 

'I knew you since we were about 12, Ty. And I know you're hurting as well but c'mon, you can't be like this all the freaking time!' she put her head on the crook of my neck and I started to play with her green hair. Tessa was one of my closest friends, and she was like my lost twin or something like that. 'Besides, it's been ages already so stop sulking like this.' she put her hand on my chest and her chin on top of it, looking at me with her black eyes. I raised my eyebrow again.

'You must be kidding me. He only just broke up with me yesterday.' my voice broke at the end and her eyebrows furrowed; her hands pulled me into a massive hug and for some reason I starting sobbing. I didn't cry since yesterday, so why the hell am I crying now? And why does it hurt so freaking much..it didn't hurt this much yesterday. 

'Shhh...Shh..' she cooed, kissing my forehead when my face was on her chest, soaking her bright pink ''Lesbians do it better'' shirt. My hands were clenched on the back of it, the soft material between my fingers and my hands in fists. The tears were running down my face and onto her shirt as her smaller hand was rubbing my back. 'Tyler, I know that it hurts but do you remember when me and Jules had that nasty break up?'

I nodded and she chuckled sadly. 'Well, you  remember that she had a reason for it, right?' I nodded again, remembering what happened.  Everything happened two years ago, a year after they got together when they were both 15. Jules' mother wasn't one of the most loving ones and she didn't like gays or anything to do with them; surprise surprise since her daughter was a lesbian and going out with the daughter of her mother's good friend. They hid it for about a year since they got together at the age of 14, but on Tessa's 15th birthday, Jules wanted to surprise her so she told her parents that she's gay and that she's in love with her best friend. They automatically thought it was me, but my parents knew I was gay by then. Jules told them it's Tessa and that's when the whole thing just went crashing down.

Of course, Tessa didn't know about Jules and her coming out, so a week after Tessa's 15th birthday, Jules told her that they can't be together anymore and that she never loved her, that she's straight and everything was just curiosity. One thing that Jules didn't think about was that Tessa knew when her girlfriend lied, she knew that it had something to do with her mother. It took them about two months to work everything out, and in the end Jules couldn't take it anymore and tried to kill herself. That's when Mrs.Horward finally opened her eyes and slowly accepted her daughter; since then, Tessa and Julie has been going stronger than before.

'Are you...are you saying that..' I gulped. '..Daniel has a reason for this?' She nodded. I wiped my face and sat on the bed while she was still lying down on it. 

'He did tell you he loved you, remember?' I nodded.

'And..he did look like he was crying.' I nodded again. She signed and rubbed her face with both of her hands then put them on her stomach, tilting her head to the side so she could see me better. 'Now let me ask you something. Have you ever saw him cry? Like..ever.' I shook my head, meaning a no. Because that was the truth, he has never cried.
