    *Lane's POV*
Next day as I'm walking to school Tyler comes up to me smiling. "Hey," I don't even look at him. "Lane, are you ok?" While still not looking at him I respond. "Yeah....yeah I'm fine," his smile goes away. "Come on tell me," I just ignore him. "Ok I understand I'll leave." He turns around to get to the school on a different path. On my way I stop by the cemetery. I see a gravestone and walk up to it. It reads, "Rest in piece Greyson Mitchell" I almost start crying. I talk to myself, "did you have any remorse when you made someone who loved you with all their heart kill themselves?"

~2 hours later~

In first period I avoided eye contact with him. Second period I didn't even think about him. Third was our prep so he approached me. "Is something wrong?" I just pretend he isn't there. "Come on Lane talk to me," I look at him with tears in my eyes and quickly walk away. He doesn't follow. For the time being all feelings I had for him are lost.

         *Tyler's POV*
"Oh god what happened. His eyes. Was he crying? I don't know if I should try to talk to him again." I pull out my phone and text him.

Me-what's going on?

~4 hours later~

No response. Lane always seemed so happy and encouraging, I never would have thought that he could be this upset about something.

             *Lane's POV*
I'm sitting at a table by myself eating when Tyler sits next to me. "Ok Lane I know your upset but you can talk to me about it". I just continue eating. He looks mad. "Dammit Lane, your going to have to talk to me sometime." "DID YOU EVER THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT I DON'T WANT TO? OR MAYBE YOUR JUST TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE ME FALL FOR YOU? WHEN EVENTUALLY YOU WOULD JUST DRIVE ME TO KILL MYSELF JUST LIKE GREYSON!!" The room grew quiet. I stand up and walk away. I sit in the bathroom floor crying, when Tyler walks in he sits next to me and hugs me. "I promise you Lane it was a misunderstanding." I push him off of me. "Stop making excuses," "b..but I'm not." He starts crying. "I loved Greyson. I was devastated when he died, but the story is a little more complicated then you think.

*Tyler's POV one year earlier*
I walked into the locker room seeing that I was the last person there. I strip out of my uniform and grab my jeans and my hoodie. I was about to leave when I hear a voice. "What's up Tyler?"
I turn around to see my friend Andrew. "I was just about to leave." He looks down. "Can I talk to you before you do?" I tilt my head confused. "Sure." He smiles. "Tyler...I....like you....a lot" I'm shocked but quickly respond. "That's perfectly fine but I'm da." He cuts me off by kissing me. I try to pull away but before I can I hear Greyson. "What the hell?" Andrew just runs and left me to explain things. "Greyson I swear this isn't what it looks like." "Really because it looks like your kissing some other guy." He starts tearing up. "No he kissed me." "BULLSHIT!" He runs out of the school crying. That was the last I ever saw of him.

~present day~

"I never could have known what he was going to do." Lane hugs me. "I'm so sorry, I should have asked for your side before assuming." He kisses me. I kiss back.

Ok two things. First I would like to say the next chapter comes out on Monday. Second my goal for the chapter is 1000 words. It will be my biggest chapter yet and possibly the best. ;)
