Maxwell P.O.V.

When I got out the shower, I wrapped the towel around my waist and left the bathroom. I got my clothes out my bag, got dressed, and then went into Henry's kitchen to find two cups.

I got them then went back to his bed. Henry was laying down on the bed.

"You gotta be at work early tomorrow?"

He sat up and shook his head. "I got the night shift. Why?".

I picked up the bottle of alcohol. "I got a little treat".

"Don't you have work?"

I shrugged. "You still have the box of advil?"

He laughed and patted the space next to him. "Let's pop the bottle open".

I opened it and gave him a glass. I poured some of the alcohol into his glass then mine. The first sip made my throat burn, it was a welcoming feeling.

"So are you gonna tell me what happened?"

I finished my first glass and poured a second one. Henry was taking smaller sips than I was. This alcohol is strong, I can already feel my mind getting fuzzy.

"Basically tonight was the worst night of my life. I went to a club to meet Thomas and his friends. So I was basically looking for a good night out to let loose", I took another gulo of my drink, "And then his friends were a bit rude, but they are okay people. It went bad when that stupid fuckface started to talk".

I looked into my now empty glass, already reaching to pour a third one. Henry grabbed my hand.

"Maybe you shouldn't drink anymore".

I glared at him. "Let go".

He sighed and let my hand go. I poured another glass before continuing.

"The guy named Mikey started talking shit about when he and Thomas was together. Like it his ex is there, why would he invite me? Anyways, they had kissed Thomas and in my opinion, Thomas took too long to push him away. When he let me go, I beat the shit out of the asshat. Thomas and his friend pulled me away, I slapped Thomas, yelled at him, was rude to the friends, then got the fuck out of there".

I finished my glass. Henry wiped my cheek with a napkin. I didn't even realize I was crying. He pulled me in for a hug.

"Let's go to sleep Maxwell. And don't forget that Thomas loves you and everyone messes up. You know you can't stay angry forever".

I shook my head. "Nothing ever goes right".

I cried myself to sleep, wishing that I was in Thomas's arms instead.

Ryan P.O.V.

"Ry! It's time to get up or we will be late for school".

I groaned and the I felt cold. I sat up and realized my blanket was pulled off of me. A very impatient Christopher was staring at me.

"Come on lil bro, we already don't have time to eat. The car is waiting downstairs. Hurry up".

I nodded and started to get ready.

***

We reached to school and me, Robert, Logan, and Christopher were sitting at the breakfast table. Something feels off today. Neither one of my dads called me today. They must really be busy.

"Is something wrong Ry?".

I looked at Robert and shook my head. "It's nothing. Im gonna call my dad".

He nodded and I started to dial Maxwells number as the three of them spoke. The phone rang twice before it stopped ringing.

"Dad?"

"Hello?"

I didn't recognize the voice on tbe other end of the phone.

"Who are you? Why do you have my fathers phone?"

He sighed. "You must be Maxwells kid. He already left and forgot his phone here. Im his friend. He will be mad if I went on his phone. So bye kid".

He hung up and I stared at the phone like it was some foreign object.

"What did the phone ever do to you?"

I looked up at Christopher. "Do you know anyone named Henry?"

He shook his head. "Never heard of him. Why?"

"Um well apparently my dad, Maxwell, left his phone at that mans house and he is going back there tonight".

The table was quiet. Logan was the first to speak up. "I don't think Maxwell would cheat on Thomas. They mean the world to eachother and I don't think they would ever want to ruin that. They are in love afterall".

Christopher stared at him shocked. "Wow...you really are gay".

His eyes went wide then he shook his head frantically. "It just slipped out! I promise I didn't mean it like that. It just came out all of a sudden. It really did".

Logan laughed. "I'm not gonna kill you dude".

Chris smiled back. "I know...I would just hate it if I was to lose you.....as a friend of course".

Logan nodded. "...yeah".

It was awkward for some reason so I clapped my hands. "Should I call Thomas?"

They nodded then Robert looked at me weirdly. "When did you get a phone?"

I smiled. "When I slept over at Logans house, my dad wanted me to have a phone so he bought me one".

He nodded. I went into my contacts and called tall dad.

"Should I put it on speaker?"

They nodded and I put my phone in the center of the table. We all leaned close.

"Ryan?"

"Hi dad!".

"Hey champ...what's up?"

"Um well I called my other dad and-"

"YOU TALKED TO MAXWELL?!?! How is he? Did he say where he was? How is he doing?"

We all looked at eachother with confusion in our eyes. "No I didn't talk to dad...I talked to his friend..Henry".

There was silence on the other line. "Dad...you still there?"

"Im fine. At least Maxwelk is okay. I have to go now son. I love you".

"Dad is everything okay?"

"Everything is fine Ryan. Dont worry. Goodbye".

"Love you".

"Love you too son".

He hung up and we stayed silent for a bit. Something is definitely wrong.
