Who are you ?

Chapter 10

Andy's PoV

'Why am i so stupid. Of course that's who Rye likes' these thoughts ran through my head over and over again as i ran out if the apartment building, out into the summer breeze of the night. I didn't think about telling the boys where i am going or what time i would be back. I just had to leave. I ran to town and into the coffee shop that i always go to.

The coffee shop wasn't something big, only a tiny little shop at the end of the corner, although it did have few book that customers could always choose from if they wanted to read while drinking their pastries or hot drink.

I go to my usual corner at the far back, i liked it because most people tend to go to the windows booths so they could look out at all the shops. I pull out my all time favourite book from the stand that i always seem to choose.

The book is a bunch of poems from a person called Allen Ginsberg, and it is always this one extract that i turn to all the time.

'The weight of the world is love.
Under the burden of solitude,
under the burden of dissatisfaction.
The weight, the weight we carry is love'

Something about those words just speak out to me.

My trail of thought was broken when a tall, blonde haired boy that i talked to earlier started to talk to me.

"What you doing here so late Andy ?" He questioned taking a seat in-front of me.

"Nothing Luke. Just need to clear my mind. What are you doing here so late. By my knowledge your shift ended ages ago." I said putting the book down on the table.

"Are you stalking me Andy Fowler" Luke had said putting his hand on his chest while gasping.

I rolled my eyes at his actions and looked at him with a serious face.

"Im waiting for Michael to get here. The little idiot is taking his time." He said pulling out his phone to which i guess is to look at the time.

"Wait is this the same Michael that you told me about ... As in Michael Clifford. The one you have been hooked up on since he came to the cafe that one time?" I said now curious as to how far their relationship has gone.

"Yes Andy. That Michael" he said.

We had talked all about how close him and Michael have gotten and how they have been going on dates. However, they weren't official which i could tell made Luke a bit sad.

We were so envelope in our conversation we didn't hear the bell ring that someone entered the cafe.

When we turned i was meet with the beautiful chocolate coloured eyes. It was Rye.

God the last person i wanted to see at the moment.

"What are you doing here ?" I asked him.

"Well i obviously came running after you" he said breathing heavily.

"Why? And how do you know i was here?" I questioned him.

"I remembered earlier you said you came here to calm down and by the way you ran out of the house i suspected you may have wanted to calm down" he stated.

By this point Luke had gotten really awkward and left the booth, luckily for him Michael then turned up and took him on their date.

Rye walked over to where i was sitting and then took the seat that Luke was filling up. He looked at the book and smiled.

"Allen Ginsberg ?" He said.

"Yeah? Got a problem?" I asked him.

"No i really like his poems" he said.

Which confused me because i didn't suspect Rye to be the reading type. I thought he would be the usual jock who played football and stuff.

"Really? You ?" I questioned. This time i didn't mean for it to come out as rude as it did.

"Yeah. I love reading especially his opinions... my favourite is the one where he says 'i don't believe there is any truth. There are only points of views' i don't know why i just...." he trails off.

"You just understand" i finished his sentence.

He looked up at me and gave a sweet and shy smile. Which in the end made me smile, i slowly relaxed after that and we talked and talked until we were told to leave the coffee shop as it was closing time.

We walk back to the flat. He looked at me.

"Why did you run out suddenly?" He asked, even though there was something about his voice that made me believe he already knew the answer.

"I don't know why... i just felt like i needed to leave and get some air" i said tensing up.

"I know why..." he said .

I stopped in my tracks. He turns around and looks me dead in the eyes. This is the only time i don't want to look into his eyes. Those mesmerising chocolate brown eyes. The moon that was slowly appearing in the sky made his skin glow some how.

"Why then?" I asked crossing my arms so it doesn't look like he has got me.

"Because you like Mikey"
