Ryland's POV

{Junior Year}

I Shane - 16 I Ryland - 15 I

I haven't went to school the pass few days. I became nauseous at the thought of seeing Lisa, and I knew I would be asked many questions by my friends. It was the weekend, and I just laid on the couch and watched weird ass documentaries about animal life. I don't know anymore at this point to be honest.

There was a knock on the door and my mother went to go open it. I heard faint little noises until I saw him knelled down in front of me. I noticed he had finally gotten a haircut, and I immediately messed it all up as I ran my hand through it. He giggled at me and I moved over so he could sit down. 

"Why haven't you been at school? You don't seem sick one bit at all..." Shane said, throwing a part of the blanket over himself.  

"I just didn't want to go. It's fine anyways, I have good grades in my classes." I said, putting a gummy bear in my mouth.

Shane shrugged and I threw my arms around him. He chuckled before pulling me closer to him, his body was warm so I snuggled even closer. His hand went up to my hair and he played with it, which put me in such relaxation. I yawned and Shane noticed because he picked me up and took me to my room to lay me down.

He was about to leave but I whined, making him turn around. I extended my arms out and motioned my hands, notifying him to come back. He smiled, and came to lay down next to me. I threw myself onto him and he giggled at me. He pulled me close and snuggled into the blankets. I felt my eyes flutter closed and I ended up falling asleep.

"Ry, wake up" Shane whispered into my ear, shaking me just a bit.

I groaned and I felt him get back on the bed. I turned to see what he was doing and he started to jump. He looked like a cute little boy as I laughed at him. I grabbed his ankle and pulled him back down onto the bed. He ended up falling on top of me, and his eyes met mine. His breathing went back to calm and I smiled at him. 

"At least you're up now..." Shane said, getting up off of me and running out the room.

I laughed and followed him and he was on the couch. He had a bucket of popcorn and he had a cup of iced tea sitting on the table. I sat next down to him and he was watching a movie. I leaned my head on his shoulder and yawned again. I then looked down at Shane, he had my pajamas on.

"Who told you that you could borrow my clothes?" I said, trying to sound like brat.

"Oh please, I saw some of my clothes in your closet from when you stole them." Shane said, making my cheeks go red. 

"Hey, um...I heard about you and Lisa. How did you two broke up?" He asked me, turning down the TV and setting the popcorn down. 

"She didn't tell you?" I asked him, as Shane just shook his head in response.

"Well, she was just honestly more possessive. She told me either to pick you and all my other friends or her." I explained, making Shane tilt his head.

"You really love us that much? Huh, I'd pick Elle over you guys any day." Shane said, as I then slapped him in the shoulder. "Kidding! I rather have my friends than a girlfriend."

"Are you going to find another girl? There are plenty of more fish in the sea." Shane said, raising his eyebrow.

"Maybe not girls...." I whispered, looking down at my feet and I began to fiddle with my necklace. 

"Wait what?" Shane said as he was a bit surprised by my choice of words. 

"Shane, I'm gay. I tried dating Lisa and I thought it would work out but I literally felt nothing for her." I admitted, looking back up at Shane. "I mean, I just thought I could convince my brain to like girls again but that didn't happen."

"Aw, Ryland." Shane exclaimed, as he then threw his arms around me and pulled me close to him. "Why didn't you tell me? I could have gotten you a man if you wanted."

Shane let out a little chuckle and I just shook with head with a smile. I looked back at him, and his eyes were looking straight at me. I could feel my heart race faster until Shane's phone started to go off. He picked it up and he talked to whoever it was as I just patiently waited for him to be done. 

"Shit, Ry. I forgot I was suppose to have dinner with Elle tonight. I've got to head out but I'll be back tomorrow night." He said as ran upstairs.

He changed quickly as he was running back down the stairs and he waved bye to me. I heard the door shut closed and I heard his car drive off. I sighed, feeling my heart break just a bit. What was I even thinking? He was with her and he obviously loved her. At the end of the day, he'd always run back to her.
