You Know I Had To Do One

Josh's POV

I stumbled backwards. I bumped into Tyler's bed after a few steps. I turned my head to look at him. Even through the darkness I could see the tears and the sadness and hurt in his eyes.

I turned back to Dallon, glaring at him. He had his back turned to us. I winced. It hurt them both.

I didn't like Dallon in that way. He was more of a brother to me. I let out a shaky sigh. I had no idea he liked me like that. I felt a panic attack brewing in my gut.

Limping on my wounded leg, made my way outside. A cool frost greeted me. I deeply inhale the cold fresh air. The sun was soon to rise, well I assume so, anyway.

I walked over to the big bolder in the wooded clearing just to the side of the house. It was a perfect view for a sunrise.

My frosty breath shimmered in the pink, yellow, orange, and red sunrise. I smiled watching the sun slowly coming into view. It was calming.

Once the sun touched the tips of the trees, I went back inside.

It was warm inside, more comfort fill me. I let out a sigh as I walked into the room. It was now filled with rays of sunlight from the window. Tyler was still laying down in his bed. Dallon was no where to be seen.

I groaned. I hurt him. Damn it.

A heard small sniffling coming from Tyler's bed. I limped over to his bed and crouched down near his head. His face was covered by his arm, which was thrown limply over his face. I slowly remove his arm from his face. Sadness filled my chest seeing the tear stains on his cheeks. I gently cupped his face in my hands. His eyes averted mine, but he soon looked into my eyes. I let my hands fall from his face.

"Why did you do it?" He asked quietly, his voice filled with hurt and pain.

"I didn't kiss him back," I let out a shaky sigh. "He kissed me, I didn't want or ever think of him like that. He's a brother to me, not a crush."

After my explanation, he was speechless.

"I-I," I tried to let the three simple words leave my mouth. "I love you, Ty."
