After my dad told me about the online school news I pranced off to my room, happy that I wouldn't be going to a hell hole every year anymore. I went on my phone and saw a text from Frank. (Bold - Frank Italic - Ross)

Ross, I'm nervous what if we get caught doing this? Maybe we should stop

Can we talk later in your room at like 8:00?

I think we should

My heart shattered from the texts. First Brendon and now Frank and I thought just maybe that I loved him. Yeah maybe it's wrong but love is love. Maybe this was for the best.

I sighed and looked at the time. It was 7:13 already and soon enough I'd be talking to Frank about how much he probably hated me. I cause such bad things to happen all the time. God I fucking suck! I deserve nothing. I thought to myself. I ruin everything. Tears started to swell in my eyes and I knew what I needed to do. I went to the bathroom in my room and looked around in the cabinet for my blade.

I finally found it but then I remembered the promise I made to my dad about talking to him when I felt this way. How could I talk to him about this situation?! I sat on the toilet and pulled down my jeans. I started placing cuts into my thighs and silently crying. Why am I such a fuck up?!

After about 15 minutes I figured I should probably stop and clean up. I put my blade away and put bandages on my cuts. I breathed slowly, collecting myself, and washed my face to get rid of the tears. Once I thought I looked at least a bid better I checked the time. It was 7:32 so I just laid down and scrolled through tumblr until 8:00.

Once the clock hit 8:00, I ran to Frank's room and sat on his bed. He wasn't there yet but I didn't want to waste anytime. About 30 seconds passed when Frank finally arrived. He looked at me with a sad look and I knew what was going to happen. He sat down next to me and held my hand. I looked down at our hands, they had once fit perfectly together but now it seemed off. I sighed and looked up at him.

"So, you're sixteen and you and I both know that we probably shouldn't be doing this," Frank paused and took a deep breath. "What I'm saying is, we can't continue sneaking around like this. What we had was amazing and fun but it's wrong. I really do love you but I can't continue this. It's for the greater good, Ross." He said.

Tears threatened to fall but I kept them in, I needed to be strong.
"I guess you're right." I said, and that was it. I got up and went into my room. At first I was sad, but I already spent time crying and I was done with that, I hade to move on. I checked my phone and noticed a message from tumblr. It said it was from.... Tony Perry?? I knew he was in a band but it wasn't that popular. Why would he be messaging me?!

I opened the message and (bold - tony italic - ross)
Hey your blog is really awesome!

Omg thanks! Btw are you really Tony Perry?!

Oh lol yeah! You a fan?

Well I haven't really heard your music before but I've heard of your band

We should hangout sometime! Maybe I can show you some of the band's music?

Yeah that sound cool! How bout tmmr at 2:00?

Sounds good to me!

I continued to text Tony and couldn't believe it! I was about to hangout with him tomorrow. We texted for about two more hours afterwards. Turns out he's super cute and adorable! He's also really into Star Wars and is really sweet. He even called me adorable. I was so excited and I was barely even thinking about Frank anymore. The problem is, how would my dad react about me going to some boy's house?

I paced back and forth around my room until I finally gained the courage to talk to me dad. I went downstairs and braced myself. None of my uncles nor my dad was in the kitchen or living room so I figured they were in the studio downstairs. I went down there and heard music and my dad singing, probably working on something new. I felt bad for interrupting them so I decided to sit on the stairs where they coolant see me until they were done.

About five minutes later, the music stopped and I went down the stairs to see my dad talking to Ray, Mikey, and Frank. I tapped my dad on the shoulder and took a deep breath.
"Yeah, sweets?" He asked me.
"So um, I was just wondering if I could go to a friend's house tomorrow at like 2:00?" At first my dad was confused, he probably thought what friend? Which is sad but true, I only had like one friend and that was Brendon but you know the story about him.

"What friend? Brendon?! I thought-"
"Ok so, I have a new friend and that friend may or may not be a boy... and he may or may not want me to come to his house tomorrow but we're just friends!" I said nervously. My dad looked at my uncles.
"What's his name?!" Ray asked.
"It's Tony... Tony Perry." I said smiling to myself.
"When did you two become friends?" My Dad asked. He was going full blown detective mode on me.
"We met... tonight? Well actually he liked my blog so he texted me and then said he lived in this area and I told him that I'd like to hear his music and he said he'd show me some tomorrow at his house." I said quickly. The whole time I was taking, Frank just stared almost like he was jealous but oh well right?

"As long as there's no... funny business, and I get to drive you there, you can go." My Dad finally said. I sighed with relief.
"Thanks Dad!" I said happily. I was on my way upstairs,
"Ross!" My dad yelled.
"Yeah, Dad?" I yelled from the steps.
"No funny business, got it?"
"Got it, dad!" I rolled my eyes and laughed to myself. I had just started taking to Tony, how could there be funny business?
