The phone in my hand became so heavy. Contemplating calling him was the biggest fear. What the hell is wrong with me, we had been so close in the past. I shouldn't have to be so fucking nervous if him.

I dialed his number before any more of my thoughts could turn me away.

"Hey cutie, was wondering when you'd call" he spoke with the voice of comfort.

"Hey, remember the park?"

"How could I forget"

"Meet me there in five minuets?"

"Woah, seriously? You're back in cali?" He said shocked.

"Its a long story. Just come"

I hung up quick and started to walk. I shouldn't have done this. Bianca would be disappointed.

Before I could turn around I bumped into a tall figure.

"I'm so sorry" I said stumbling.

He held onto my arms, "hey"

I was taken back at the sight of Henry. He had changed a lot. He wasn't the scrawny skater boy I last saw. He was muscled, toned, a jaw line built for the gods, and a sleeve of luscious tattoos. The only thing still recognizable about him was the playful smile he gave when he laughed.

"He-hey" I stuttered.

"I can't believe you're back, you look so different" he smirked eyeing me down, laughing as he saw my converse. "Never could take the edge out of you"

I smiled in response and stared at his tattoos, "I could say the same about you"

"So what been happening? How have you been? What brought you back?"

"Im alright" I laughed at his questions, "well since the whole viral thing, I've been going through a lot, and I dont know I just started miss-"

"What viral thing?" He stopped me, he looked genuinely confused.

"You know the whole graduation thing" I explained.

He simply shrugged.

"You really dont know?" I asked.

"Know what?"

I had to explain to him the whole situation. After many stutters and sighs, all of the history came down to now. "How have you not known?"

"I told you I was going to the military, training is strict. I could barely whip out my electronic watch before being told to give the sergeant 20."

"Oh, I forgot, sorry. Well, it's no wonder you've changed. And I'm sorry, I called you out tonight. I shouldn't have bothered you."

"No stop, I'm glad you did. I'm on divison break." He said crossing his legs on the bench, "did you call me for advise?"

"I mean, part of me knows I need your advise. But its because i miss your reassurance, you always knew what to say and do. You're the only one I can trust." I noticed I did sound like a birch for calling him into my problems, "forget about it, I'm dumb. I dont want to drag you into this.

"Hey, I trust you too. I'm glad to see you still want me in your life." He smiled. "Tell me what's bothering you then"

I walked back and forth in front of him. "I guess I'm just so fucking angry that everyone thinks they know what's good for me. I'm tired of having people make decisions for me. That's the whole reason I got the fuck out of home."

"So let's get to the root of it, do you think Wil giving you this opportunity is him wanting the attention or do you think he sees your talent?" Henry asked.

"Isnt it the same thing? Whether he sees any talent, he still is gonna get the attention" I shrugged at say down next to Henry.

"Well, can I give you my advice on what to do?"

"I need your advise" I said sighing.

"Look at me" he said squatting in front of me. "I say you fight them in their own game. If they want you to be a singer, you best the best singer they have ever seen. Just leave out all emotion, wipe them all out at the end of the day. All you have is you. You're in a position now where you might not be able to trust your friends. Take what's yours."

"I can trust my friends, they just dont see what I want. They can't handle that I've changed into this person who genuinely doesn't care where I might end up" I defended the gang.

"Heres the thing," Henry started, sitting between my legs for me to let his hair like I used to. "From the start you knew you didnt want to be tied to anything, so, maybe this opportunity can be the best of both world. You can do whatever you want and still be getting that stable flow of cash. I'm not telling you to abandon your friends, I'm just saying play the individual."

"Yeah, maybe you're right."

He stood up facing me, "aren't I always?" He smirked.

I slumped on the bench holding my head, processing everything.

"If you dont wanna go back tonight, you can spend the night with me. I have a two bedroom apartment."

"Yeah, I'd like that. Can we not go yet?" I asked looking up at him.

"Yeah, we can go catch a movie or theres this really cool place club we can hang at." He offered.

"Let's go to the skatepark" I smiled.

He laughed, rolling his eyes. "You gonna make me give you a piggy back ride like you used to too?"

"Yes please" I laughed and stood up on the bench.

He turned around as I wrapped my legs on him. His hands still were the warmest grasp on my under thighs. His strong build reminded me of Wil, but I wanted to forget him for tonight

|Authors Note|

A list of things I need to get off my chest:

1. Yes I know about the recent lawsuit regarding Will, I'm still going to continue writing this. I believe in loving the persona displayed by his music and not concentrating on his personal life.

1a. Even though he possibly (everyone is innocent until proven guilty) could have done all this fucked up shit to the girls, he did have their consent videotaped and documented. Meaning, there is not much of a legal case.

2. I know this story has taken FOREVER to update, but I'd rather create genuine content than to spew out bullshit I am not proud of.

3. I am aware that I am being so inconsistent because I am working on three books, but i like variety in my life.

& 4. This story has taken many turns & I am ABSOLUTELY unsure of where its heading so pls gimmie some ideas.

Thank you 💖
