Jackson POV.
When I sat on the plane after leaving Dylan. I was down I deep thought. I was thinking about the first time Dylan meet Bryce and Mikey.
-
Past memory Mikey's POV.

Bryce and I were going over to Jackson's house. We were going to meet his boyfriend for the first time. His name was Dylan and we had only seen his Instagram. However was this the first time we would meet him.  Hopefully he would be nice and not like Aaron, who was a b***h to everyone.

Bryce and I walking since it was just a 15 minuets walk. I was thinking about me and Bryce. How we looked at each other. I knew I liked him more than a friend but I don't think he did. We would pretend that we would kiss on camera but always pull away at the last second. And then we would laugh, but every time it would crush me. Only Jackson knew how I felt.

I was walking and on instagram at the same time, maybe not the best idea. And I was in deep though as well. Suddenly I felt a strong arm wrap itself around my waist quickly pulling me back. I then understood why Bryce had pulled me back into his arms, a car was speeding past a couple feet in front of me. He save my life.

I stood there in slight shock for a moment. I realised that his arms were still around me, holding me close. I leaned back relaxing into his embrace.

I could feel him tense up but then also relaxing. After a moment we let go and look at each other.

"Thank you. You save my life." I said very aware of what might have happened if he had not been so alert.

He scratched the back of his neck uncomfortably,
"Yeah...I mean you are my best friend. I don't want to lose you."

I looked deep into his eyes and I saw that he really meant it. I smiled and gave his what was supposed to be a quick hug, but only ended when I got a text from Jackson asking where we were.

We let go and I quickly answered his text with 'be there in ten'.

We walked and now it was a bit awkward. I could feel that something was going to change between us, but maybe it wasn't a bad thing. We walked alongside each other. Our hands accidentally bumped into each other's a couple times and which was a bit awkward.

We got there after what felt like an eternity of awkward silence.

"Hey guys." Jackson said cheerfully.

"Hey Jackson, what's up?" We said in unison.

We started laughing over the fact that we just spoke in union.

He welcomed us in and introduced us to Dylan. He seemed nice and like a chill person. Jackson and Dylan told us they had ordered pizza because they had been starving.

Bryce went to the bathroom and Jackson went to pay the pizza guy who had just arrived. Leaving me alone with Dylan. I didn't mind though because he was really cool.

"So this is awkward, but Jackson said you two are friends but are you a couple?" He said a bit hesitantly, "I mean you and Bryce."

I got a bit uncomfortable, I mean I liked Bryce but he was straight and we were just friends.
"Um no, we are just friends."

"Okay. But do you like each other, because I can see the way you look at each other?"

I felt like I could open up to him even though we just met. I felt like a long friendship was just starting.
"I mean I kinda like him...but he is straight and I don't want to ruin our friendship."

He nodded slowly but didn't say anything else, because Bryce was just coming back in the room.

"Hey what are you guys talking about?"

I froze and looked at Dylan, here came the moment of truth. Would he tell Bryce or would he respect my feelings of doubt?

"I was just telling him that I like to wrestle." He smiled at me reassuring.

My gut feeling had been right, I could trust him. He had and aura of being trustworthy, something Aaron never had.

"Cool. How long have you been wrestling?"

They continued talking and I got lost looking at Bryce taking in all his features. How his hair looked when the sunlight hit it and how his his lips moved and how he laughed. Suddenly I could see his hand waving in front of my face,
"Mikey? Hello?" Bryce said, "what ya staring at?"

"Oh, sorry. I just got lost in space."

I hope he believed me. Behind Bryce I could see Dylan smirking at me. Then just in time, Jackson came inside with the pizza.

"That girl tried to give me her number."

He said annoyed and amused, holding up a piece of paper. It was crunched up in his fist. He than threw it away. Dylan didn't seem bothered and smiled a bit.

We sat down and started eating the pizza it was good. We talked a bit and got to know Dylan better. He was the same age and he was the only one of us that was going to college, Columbia in New York.

Then we decided that we would watch a scary movie. I hated scary movies but didn't say anything. Jackson and Dylan were cuddled up in the other sofa while Bryce and I were in the other one. He was sitting so I couldn't see him when I was turned towards the screen.

Literally the first thing that happened was a jump scare. I jump a bit and I could feel Bryce's hand on my shoulder trying to calm me down. It helped a lot and I relaxed.

The movie went on and I could see that it was already 11.27 PM. I looked over at Jackson and Dylan, Jackson's head was on Dylan's chest, they were both sleeping.

Bryce and I continued watching. Then the really scary part, were you don't know when the jump scare is coming, started. Every time something remotely scary happened I jumped.

I could feel a strong arm pull me back and I screamed, thinking it was the killer from the movie. But then I realised it was Bryce.

Wait, why was Bryce holding me like this? I was in his lap with his arms around me, and why wasn't I uncomfortable?

I could feel myself calming down and  I understood that it was because of Bryce, making me feel safe.
