Ice Cream

No. No. No. This was not happening. I can not go through this again.

First Percy, now Will.

I know life isn't supposed to be easy. But I thought maybe, just maybe, I could have this one thing in my life. I could have a boyfriend, a loving boyfriend. A beautiful, intelligent, amazing boy, who for some reason was in love with me.

I knew it wasn't going to happen. I shouldn't have even tried. Why did I try? It was better off when we were friends. Now Will hates me. What the fuck is wrong with me? Why did I have to go and ruin the one aspect of my life that makes me feel as if life is worth living?

Why did I have to tell Will? Why couldn't I have just been a happy, closeted gay. There was exactly one (1)  thing in my life that I look forward to. Seeing Will. I looked forward to eating lunch with him. I looked forward to playing video games at my house after school with him. I looked forward to looking over at his face and seeing his gorgeous blue eyes and thinking, 'Wow, they're like the sky.'
There is no limit with Will. He makes me feel as if I am flying. Flying in a sky made completely out of happiness and bliss.

But that wasn't enough for me. I wanted him to know how I felt. It was unfair to him, making him think that all I wanted was his friendship., When I really wanted his love. I'm in love with him. I am in love with Will Solace, and he will never love me back.

He's probably texting his friends right now.
"Oh My God, he's so creepy. I didn't realize before, I don't know how. But he's into me? I'm not gay. I'm fine with gay people, it's your choice, but I'm not gay. What made him think I was.... like him? No homo."

No. Will's a good person, who most likely wouldn't say or think that. But that's what I thought about Percy. That's what I thought about the last time I let myself fall in love. I really that stupid?

Percy and Will.
Cute, caring, kind boys who could never love me back.

My phone buzzes as I wallow in self pity. I barely notice it. My eyes are blurry with tears as I reach over and see the message. The most horrifying text that has ever been sent in the history of humanity.
"We need to talk."

We decide to meet at the ice cream shop near his house. I got a scoop of coffee and a scoop of chocolate. He got rainbow sherbet.
"Hey, Nico." He says, sitting across from me. He smiles. I don't.

"Let's cut to the chase." I say. I don't want to experience more heartbreak than necessary.

"You hate me now, right? You asked to meet me here so you could tell me how disgusted you were?"

"What?" Will looks confused. "I'm not disgusted by you."

"Then why did you run when I told you?"

"I... I ran away when you told me you liked me because I was confused. I," Will looks around the ice cream shop to make sure no one was listening. "I like you, too. But I, um, didn't think you liked me back." He laughs nervously. "I was scared Jason had told you I liked you. And you were making fun of me. I mean, looking back, I can see that you aren't the kind of person who would do that. But things are harder when you're in them."

"Wait.... you don't hate me? You like me?"

"Yes, Nico. I like you."

"I smell wedding bells." Hazel says from under my bed.
"It was just a kiss, Hazel," I say, though even I don't believe what I'm saying.
"You know that's not true. It was so much more than a kiss. You guys are in love!"
I smile and sigh happily. "Yeah. I think we are."
