The 10 commandments

Alex p.o.v
"Alex, you awake?"

I heard someone slowly walk into my room. I was going to reply but then I heard them sigh.

"Guess not."

There was a slight weight at the edge of my bed.

"I don't know what to do, Alex. I think...i think I'm falling in love with you, but, John is your boyfriend, isn't he? I want to tell you but it might ruin our friendship, and, I don't want that....I need someone to tell me what to do..."

"You could just tell me you love me?"

Thomas jumped off the bed, a blush very evident on his face.

"H-how....how long were you up??"

I shrugged, or well, did the best shrug I could with all the wires wrapped around and through me.

"The whole time."

He looked down at he shoes, suddenly finding them more interesting than me.

"Oohh godd."

"Honestly, I think I'm falling in love with you too, Thomas."

He looked back up.

"...What?"

"I...don't think I love Laurens. The first day i met you, the day you walked into debate late, was the day I started falling. At first it was just 'cause you were cute...but, as time went on, it was because you were cute, and funny, and loud, and smart and so many other things...that Laurens just...isn't...I love you, Thomas."

"But...but You guys are dating? How are you going to--"

"I'll figure it out, for you. I promise."

A smile smile grew on his face.

"I Love you too."

We talked for hours about what we'd do once i got out, and how I could bring this up to Laurens, but even after all this planning...i wasn't prepared for what I needed- had to do next.
