Breece three: The walls break down 2

PART TWO

"No, it's not. But we can talk about it later. Right now, I'm just really tired."

He closes his eyes and smiles. "I understand", I say and get up. I'm at the door of his room, when he suddenly says: "hey, Reece, wanna stay the night?"
"Yes. Of course."I look at my watch. It's already past 10 PM, so I just drop my jeans and take some random sweatpants from Blake's floor. "Is it okay if I borrow these?" He just smiles.
"How do you always look so much better in my clothes than I do?"

"Because I'm more handsome than you."
"Okay whatever. Come here."
I sit next to him and shuffle his hair. He smiles with his eyes closed. "It will pass, you know."
"Pain is never permanent, but tonight it's killing me", he suddenly sings.
"What song's that?"
"December by  Neck Deep. You don't know it but it's sad and very me."
I take his duvet out of the bed and straighten it out. Then I put it back down and we crawl under it.
"You good?" I ask as I settle close to him.
"Yep. Night."
"Good night."

"Reece."
I feel a cold hand on my arm and groan.
"I just fell asleep."
"I know but I can't sleep and I really need to tell you something."
I turn to my back and look at the ceiling. The room is only lit by the fairy-lights that are on top of his shelf and I don't see the sun trough the curtains, so it must be night. I sit up and pull my shirt back down. Blake's sitting next to me hugging his knees. 
"Is everything okay?"
He smiles. "Ever get the feeling of being so happy you can't sleep?"
"Rarely yes, but you were literally crying in the evening so I'm very confused?"

He stares at the lights and I stare at him, waiting for an answer. "What was so important you had to wake me up at like 2AM?"
"A girl. Her name's Betty. It's her first day of school."
I keep staring.
The fuck?
"She meets a kid named Rihanna in the yard. Betty thinks she's really pretty and goes home that day, tells her mum and dad that he wants to marry Rihanna when she grows up. Her parents think it's cute and tell her to get to know Rihanna. So she does and they  become besties and suddenly Betty realises it's been five years and she still likes Rihanna way more than her other friends. She loves Rihanna."
"Awe, that's cute."
"Then, she one day asks Rihanna by the old abandoned swings where they hang out, if she has a crush. Rihanna just giggles and tells Betty about Pete, the rebel new kid. She says she wants to kiss him."
This keeps getting weirder, we used to hang out by abandoned swings. And I had a crush called Patricia in fifth grade, who was a rebel.

"I'd much rather kissing a girl, Betty says and Rihanna just ignores it with 'I think he's cute even if you don't.' Then, time passes, they're teenagers. Rihanna just gets increasingly more attractive every day and Betty starts realising she's gay. But because in that phase of her life she's in denial, she gets a boyfriend. His name is Caleb. They date for a long time and Betty really likes him as a friend, and somehow mistakes it for real love. She does all kinds of things with Caleb even though Rihanna doesn't really like him. Rihanna thinks something's not right. And she's right. Then, one day Rihanna comes out as a bisexual and kisses a girl called Willa in chemistry class in front of everyone. Even though she's nerdy, her status increases."

That's very odd. I kissed a guy called William in chemistry class whilist wearing funny goggles. Blake's still staring at the lights, clearly getting into whatever the fuck is going on. "And Betty is like oh yes, now is my chance to tell Rihanna I like her, but Betty still has an issue called her boyfriend. Their relationship isn't great but Betty's scared her boyfriend might do something if he found out Betty was actually very gay, as Caleb is pretty much a school king and a wannabe cool guy."
"What does she do?"
"She looks for excuses to leave Caleb, but none of them are good. She's scared."

At this point I'm sure he has a book idea and he's needing my opinion.

"Then, one day, she steps into the school cafeteria and sees him telling  his popular friends that Betty sucks anyway and he's only with her because she's cute and bareable. And that same night, Betty cries and cries, then she invites Rihanna over though, and they sit on Betty's bed and she really tries to tell what's up but she's too shy. Rihanna ends up staying the night but Betty can't sleep. In her head she invites new names to the characters in her life; Caleb is Christine in this universe, Willa is William, and Pete is Patricia. And in this universe-"

"Betty is a brown-haired guy named Blake, and Rihanna is a nerd kid called Reece", I say, just staring at him. For the first time during him speaking, he looks at me.
"It took you a lot longer than I expected."
"You- Since- FIRST DAY? But- Increasingly more attractive?" My brain just comes to a complete stop. This is not happening. I need air.
"I should go", I stutter and get up. "It's  2AM!!" Blake shouts after me. He really tried to trap me didn't he.
I open the front door of his house (thank God his parents aren't home) and walk outside. It's raining. Great. 
"Reece."
Blake's standing at the door, just inside enough not to get wet. My hair's dripping already and I just turn around.
"I'm sorry I let my walls break down. Let's just-" I take his hand and pull him to the rain.

"whAT do you think you're..."
"Revenge for you not telling me ten years ago", I laugh and kiss him in the rain.
"Fuck you", he breaths and I laugh. "Love you too."
"Also that", he says and kisses me. 
"What now?" I ask hesitantly, very unsure about life suddenly. "Let's get inside."
"Sure." I let him pull me inside.

2K reads that's a lot considering i'm a shitty writer but thanks x also someone asked for this to finish in the comments (sry for not remembering your @) so thought I'd finish it eyy
