Chapter 12

The dusk of night was painted with glittering, frosty stars. Toni had eventually fallen asleep on the couch while Sweet Pea was sound asleep on his bed. Fangs on the other hand was rolling uncomfortably on his bed as he sighed in defeat looking at the ceiling. Thoughts flooding his mind like a river running. His eyes flickered up at the ceiling then back down at his friends.

He pulled out his phone from his drawer, dialing a number before sighing "Hey Larkspur, I-I need someone to talk to right now" Fangs begged closing his eyes. "Please" he urged "what's up?" She asked her voice groggy from just waking up. "I like my best friend, but I don't think he likes me back. We kissed after we fled the detention center. We were so in the moment that we made out in my trailer on a bed. I don't know what to do" Fangs badgered putting a hand to his face before removing it.

"Fangs, listen to me it's okay to like someone. It's okay to call for your best friend. The advice I can give is don't let one little thought bloom into something poisonous. If you really like him let him know, you should be honest with him. If he doesn't feel the same way give him time and just try to help him figure out what he wants. You can do this okay. I believe in you, don't lose hope and remember we live, we love, we hurt but let that show you, Fangs Fogarty are just as brave and as strong as everyone who has had their courage lead the way. The truth that made them live up to who they really are. No lies. No pain. No sadness. Take the chances you can, don't sit in the dark. Be yourself, and don't ever change just because someone makes you." Larkspur adviced the line went silent for a minute "thank you Lark!" Fangs exclaimed hanging up the phone.

He walked over to Sweet Pea and sat on the Serpent's bed. Sweet Pea opened his eyes slowly "Fangs? What's up?" He asked his eyelids drooping "I like- nevermind i'm sorry for waking you. Good night Sweet Pea." Fangs smiled sadly covering the serpent with a blanket.
