Will I Ever Matter To You?//Ianthony

Chapter 6: The Truth

(A/N) If you haven't looked at my book "Unknown" Then you need to do that and watch the video. (Note: It has to do with "High School"....)

IAN'S P.O.V.

My eyes flutter open. I blink a few times to adjust my eyes to the brightness. "Ugghh," I groan. My head hurts like hell. I scan my surroundings. I'm....in my bed. Last night....was it a dream? No, it couldn't have. I'm hungover...how else would that have happened. "Hey," I hear a farmiliar voice say. Anthony? No...he hates me. I look over at the doorway and standing there was.....Anthony. "How are you feeling?" He asks. Wait....did I hear correctly? He's acting like his old self again. "To be honest, my head really hurts," I tell him. Anthony nods. "I'll be right back with some advil," He says, before leaving the room. What the hell just happened?

-EARLIER THAT NIGHT....-

ANTHONY'S P.O.V.

"I'm gonna go take a shower babe," Kalel tells me, before kissing my cheek. "Alright," I say, before she walks into the bathroom and shuts the door behind her. I sigh and lean against the back of the couch. Then, I hear a phone buzz... I look around the room. Where did that come from?  Was it mine or Kalel's?  It buzzes again. I look in the direction of the buzzing. It's Kalel's phone. Might as well check it and tell her about it. I walk over to her phone and pick it up. It reads: "Hey babe :)" From Tyler. I almost dropped the phone. No, I need to text back and see if it was meant for Kalel. I text back: "You do have the right number right?" Within a few seconds, he texts back: "Are you playing with me? Lol :D"  No...this..it can't be right! Kalel wouldn't cheat on me! Maybe it's just a weird cousin thing they do. I need to make sure. I text him once again: "Anthony just left my place....wanna have some fun? ;)" Not even a second later, he replied: "Hell yeah!" That's when I did drop the phone.

AUTHOR'S P.O.V.

"Kalel! Guess what?" Anthony screams to his fiancé. "What?" She calls out to him. "Have fun burning in hell you fucking cheating whore!" He yells back, with tears in his eyes. Kalel's eyes tear up as well. She understands completely what Anthony is talking about. "Please Anthony.....don't-" "I've heard enough of that bullshit! Send that engagement ring in the mail to me," Anthony yells back before leaving the apartment, slamming the door behind him.

-AFTER THE CAR DRIVE OF TEARS-

ANTHONY'S P.O.V.

That bitch really was cheating on me....goddamit. A wave of guilt crashes over me...no screw that...a Tsunami of guilt rushes over me. Ian tried to tell me the truth.....and I threw him out in the rain. I bet he's ready to yell at me when I tell him he was right. Oh well, better just walk in and apologize. I walk into the house. "Ian!" I call out. No response. Shit! "Ian! If you're hiding come out!" I yell, louder than before. He's not here.....where would he be? I dial his number as quick as I can. Ring one, ring two, ring three, ring four, ring five...no answer. Not even a moment later, I get another call. I pick it up, praying to god it's Ian....but no luck. It's David. I press the answer button and hold my phone up to my ear. "Hey David," I say. "Iaann jusstt passedd ouutt brrroo," David slurs. Thank god Ian's with him. Wait...why am I so worried about him? He's my best friend...that's why. Wait...Is he....drunk? "Did you have too much to drink?" I ask. "Mmmaayybbe." I let out a sigh. "Where are you two?" I ask. David tells me the bar they are at and I tell him I'll be there before he can drink another beer. Goddammit. Now I have to pick up my two friends who are extremely drunk. Great! Just fucking great!

AUTHOR'S P.O.V.

Anthony gets to the bar and sees Ian immediately. He is on the ground, passed out, just as David told him. He walks over to Ian and picks him up. Ian is surprising light. Anthony ignores this and looks around until he sees David. He walks over to David and after a LOT of convincing, he got David to agree with getting in his car.

-BACK TO PRESENT TIME-

ANTHONY'S P.O.V.

I walk back into Ian's room with the advil and water in hand. I sit on the edge of the bed and hand it to Ian. Ian smiles at me. "Thanks," He says before taking the advil. I nod. We both sit in silence. Should I just come out and apologize? Or...what? I probably should. Yeah, that's what I'll do. "You were right," I tell Ian, breaking the silence. "The whole, cheating deal......Kalel and I broke up." Ian gives me a sympathetic look. "Man, I'm sorry-" "What are you apologizing for?" I inturrupt him. "I'm the one who should be. I was acting like a total dick," I reply. "No...it's okay...really. I mean, I wouldn't take my word for it either," He lets out a short laugh. I smile at him and he does the same. Well, at least I have one person to rely on.
