Unwanteds High (AU)

Young and Damaged

((Hey guys! So this is the 2nd and final part for the HenCrow story. I know you're all mad at me saying "EM UPLOAD ANOTHER PART OF THE HIGH SCHOOL AU!!!" Chill. I hear your pleas. I'll try to write the next part soon. But enjoy this for now ^_^ ))

Crow pushed away as soon as he felt Henry attempt to kiss him. His heart was racing as he felt like he was going to panic. What was this? Henry tried to kiss him?

When Crow looked into the taller male's eyes, they showed horror. He desperately tried to come up with words to say. That it was ok. That they could figure this out.
But he was speechless.

Henry was shaking as he realized what he just attempted to do. His heartbeat was thumping loudly in his ears like loud drumbeats. Tears made his vision go blurry as he couldn't help one streaming down his cheek. His hands went to cover his mouth as he realized what he had done. The extent of it all. He messed up. He messed up big time.

"I-I'm so sorry. Oh my- I'm," Henry said shakily.

He felt his bottom lip start to quiver as he stood up faster before Crow could grab his wrist.

"Henry, wait!" Crow pleaded.

"I have to go. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

"Henry-"

"I know you don't feel the same and-"

"HENRY!!!!"

He paused. Crow had actually yelled at him. Yelled his name at him actually in pure annoyance and possibly fury.
It made them both go silent and pause.

Crow cleared his throat, and pulled Henry back down on the bed next to him by his wrist. The two just sat in awkward quietness. Both were shocked on this situation as a whole.

"So..." Crow whispered softly.

"So..." Henry responded back with.

Crow was the first one to look. To be the one to force the other to lock eyes. He felt his heartbreak as he saw the fear and sadness in Henry's blue eyes.

"Henry.. Why did you try to kiss me just now? And don't go stuttering on like it was a mistake because we both know that it wasn't," Crow said with a sigh.

Henry tried to find the words to explain it all, but nothing seemed right. All of the answers he thought were probable weren't.
But one seemed logical.

"Crow," Henry started but gulped from his nerves. "Crow. I.. I like you ok. Well, I know we haven't talked in awhile but. Back then I liked you. Like.. Liked you liked you. Maybe that's why I distanced myself and-"

"Hold up hold up hold up," Crow said in pure shock, shaking his hands in front of him to stop the other boy from speaking any further. "You liked me?"

"Yes. That's what I just said.."

"No, like.. Liked me. Samheed and Lani stuff? Sky and Alex?" Crow asked in slight confusion.

Henry paused to think. Did he like Crow that way? Or was he just confused? This was all just one big rollercoaster ride. He asked himself the question over and over again.
Did he like Crow that way? Or was he just overall confused with himself?

"I... Yes, I do," Henry stated in pure confidence.

"Do? Don't you mean did? As in past tense?" Crow asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Nope. I was right the first time," Henry said as he closed his eyes, and leaned back against the wall.

Crow leaned back too as they weren't far apart in distance. Henry couldn't get the fact that their knees were touching out of his mind. It was almost killing him.
