"You're my closest friend, Alex." Alex's heart dropped when he heard friend. Augh, the friend zone. John's girlfriend, Martha walked up next to John and pressed a kiss to her boyfriend's cheek. Suddenly, he felt the urge to throw up. He quickly said a goodbye to John and Martha and ran to the bathroom and into a stall, throwing it closed and threw himself onto the bowl. Alex coughed and spluttered as he threw up his guts. Alex sat back on the floor and breathed gulps of air in. Tears streamed down his tan skinned face. His skinny body shook slightly as he stood up to flush the toilet once he thought he was all clear. Alex's eyes widened in shock as he spotted petals in the bowl. P-petals?! What the hell?! He thought frantically as he flushed the toilet and ran out to wash his hands.

John and Alex were watching a movie together on their couch when Martha called John. They talked for a bit and then John ended the call with, "Ok, love you..bye." Alex felt the urge again. Alex sprinted away to the bathroom and threw up, clinging onto the side of the rim desperately with shaking arms. John ran in behind Alex and gasped at the sight of his bestfriend. John crouched beside Alex and held his hair back while he rubbed the boy's back gently. "Are...are you OK?" John asked quietly when Alex had stopped vomiting and was resting on the wall to breathe. "Yeah, I'm fine, .I'm gonna go lie down.." Alex whispered softly as he got up shakily. John frowned at the boy and got up too. "Here, let me carry you." He said and scooped his exhausted best friend up. He carried Alex into his room and set him down softly on his bed. Alex mumbled a thanks and turned away to close his eyes.

John stood at the side of the toilet, his eyes were wide with horror. There, floating in the pink water were rose petals speckled with blood. He glanced into his best friend's room and pressed the flush button slowly. John turned and walked slowly to his laptop and started researching.

"John, I'm sorry I didn't say anything to you about this." Alex whispered sadly as John held him after he had thrown up again in the morning.
"Alex, I know what's happening to you, but you need to tell me, who did this to you? Who did you fall in love with?" John spoke softly and ran his hand gently through his friend's hair. Alex took a shaky breath and look John straight in the eyes.
"You." Alex deadpanned and turned away from him. John's lips parted slightly. He had always been told by his father that being gay was a sin, so he hid it, heck, he even had a girlfriend to keep up the act with, she didn't even know he wasn't straight, and John liked Alex.
"I love you, John. I always have and if I die, I just want to have admitted it to you." Alex whimpered as tears fell freely down his cheeks. John didn't reply except he pressed a soft kiss to his friend's lips.
"I've always kind of had a thing for you too, Lex." John whispered and pulled his friend into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"Everything's OK."
