Friendship.

*This story is going to be in 3rd person point of view*

   Once school was over Craig started walking home. His house wasn't far from school so he just walked home and put on his earphones to ignore anyone or anything. As he walked he saw two kids at the other side of the street, talking and laughing. It reminded him of his old school and his ex-best friend. They would always walk home together and make silly jokes which made Craig so happy. They were so close that sometimes people would mistake them as siblings and they would agree. They didn't have siblings so they would call each other brothers. They trusted each other so much and they never kept a secret from each other which turned out to be a horrible mistake. It happened during summer break, they were going to become sophomores. Craig finally settled it, he is gay.

~Flashback~

   "Aren't you excited man? Next week we're going to Disney!" Said Craig's ex-friend. They were sitting on Craig's bed, playing video games. Craig just looked at him and nodded. He just paused the game and looked at Craig. "Hey, why did you pause it?" Craig questioned. "Okay, spill the beans. What's wrong?" Craig's ex-friends said. Craig sighed and told him it was nothing. Of course, he knew it wasn't true. "Craig, we never keep secrets from each other. Do you not trust me?" Craig quickly looked at him and shook his head. "No, no, no. I just- I... fine. I'll tell you but please don't get mad at me or anything. I-I can't help it a-and I'm so confused still." Craig couldn't help but shed a few tears. He was so scared. He didn't want to ruin his relationship with his best friend. Craig's friend grabbed a tissue from Craig's desk and gave it to him. Craig softly said thank you and then took in a deep breath. He faced his best friend and wanted to say something else. He didn't want to admit something to him because he was too scared. He was about to say something else like a family member died or something but he just blurted it out.

   "I'm gay," Craig said. He didn't look at his ex-best friend's eyes because he was too scared so he looked at the floor. A minute of full silence passed and Craig saw his best friend stand up. Craig looked up and saw an outraged face. "This better be a god damn joke, Craig Thompson." The ex-best friend said. Craig was terrified at this point and shook his head slightly. "N-No... it's the t-truth..." Craig said softly. The ex-best friend laughed like a lunatic and ran his fingers through his hair. "Don't ever talk to me..." He whispered. Craig was confused and couldn't hear what he said so he stood up and walked a bit closer to him. "What did you say?" Craig said. The ex-best friend pushed Craig onto the bed and Craig was shocked. "Don't you dare come close to me. I-I can't believe it! You? You out of all people? Why Craig?" He said. Craig climbed on his bed and pressed his back on the panel of the bed. "I-I can't help i-it. This is h-how I am..." Craig said, scared out of his mind. The ex-best friend paced around the room for some seconds then bolted out of the room. Craig did not want to lose his best friend.

   Craig quickly got up from his bed and chased his friend. "Come on, you can't be mad at me for this!" Craig tried explaining. "Leave me alone!" He yelled as he reached the front door. Craig reached for him and grabbed him by the collar. The ex-best friend turned around and raised his fist. Craig quickly covered his face and started shrinking a bit. Nothing. Craig didn't feel a punch so he looked at him. The ex-best friend's hand was shaking and didn't move. He just kept staring at Craig. "You're dead to me, Craig Thompson." Was all he said before putting his fist down and walking away. Craig watched as he walked away and shut the door. Craig started crying even more and ran up to his room. He jumped on the bed and stayed there until his mom returned. The ex-best friend wasn't only his best friend but his first crush. Craig liked him a lot since they first met and now that he saw him walk away because of his secret shattered him. They first met in elementary school and the first day they saw each other they called each other friends. They both were clowns and everyone loved them. On the school talent shows they would always do jokes and dress up as clowns. They called the show "Craig and Seth's wacky friendship that will last forever and ever!" (The name is not related to anyone I just randomly picked it.)
