--Michael's POV--
As soon as he left, I immediately felt emptier. Whenever we were apart it felt like claws were being raked across my heart. To calm down, I went to take a shower. After I was dressed and clean, I started to immediately feel better. Everyone needs to be alone from time to time, I reminded myself. It's perfectly healthy.
I waited around for a few seconds before immediately pulling out my phone.
HeadphonesKid: Rich
GoodBiNormies: hey how was last night lover boyyyy
HeadphonesKid: Uggh please just shut up and listen? I want to complain here
GoodBiNormies: complain away

--Christine's POV--
My phone buzzed again as I got another text from Rich.
GoodBiNormies: omg im cryyyingg right now
Dramatically: Why?
GoodBiNormies: Michael is about to call me to talk about all his feelings for Jeremy
Dramatically: OK but why is that funny?
GoodBiNormies: You're with Jeremy, right?
I looked over to see Jeremy gazing thoughtfully at an Alvin and the Chipmunk's shirt.
Dramatically: Sure am
GoodBiNormies: lolllll ok so ill have you join the call and when he starts to talk about jeremy hand the phone off to jeremy
Dramatically: SO LIKE A SECRET CONFESSION??? I'M IN
GoodBiNormies: nice hold on a sec
--Jeremy's POV--
Hmm.... it's a bit overpriced, but it seems like good fabric... Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted. Christine was next to me and she was forcing her phone in my hand.
"I put you on mute, don't say anything, just listen!" She was grinning from ear-to-ear.
"What is this abo-"She cut me off before I had the chance to finish.
"Shhh!!" She put one finger over her lips and I quietly obeyed. Now listening more closely, I could hear Michael's voice on the other end.
"It's just... I don't know how I can stand it! It's like, I want to be with him, but at the same time my heart flies out the window every time I even speak to him! Just this morning I said I like to 'Watch him in his natural habitat.' What the fuck was that?"
My heart started racing. He's...he's talking about me! Now listening more intently, I could hear Rich laughing.
"Oh, shut up Rich!" Michael's voice was the loudest again. "I just..I don't know what to do. I love him, no matter how much I try to convince myself otherwise." Now I could feel my whole face going red. "I just don't know what to do. Christine, you're good at this; give me your opinion."
The call went silent. With shaky hands, I took the phone off silent. "Hey, Micha?"
--Michael's POV--
My entire body froze. Before I could think another second, I hung up.Thoughts swirled inside my head. How long was he there? How much did he hear? Was everyone in on this? Obviously, Christine had to be, but what about Rich? Would he do something like that? No, of course he would.
My phone buzzed again. It was from Christine. I let it ring, the vibrating like a siren in my ears. I sat on the floor for what felt like ages, the tile cold underneath my feet, thoughts cutting open my mind, shredding my heart, until I heard the doorbell ring.
Great. Now my life is ruined. My only friend's going to hate me, and now the only thing left to do is try to salvage as much of this as I can. I slowly opened the door. Jeremy was standing just outside. I began, "Jeremy, I'm so sorry, I-"
Before I could finish, I could feel warmth around my arms and his lips against mine. The kiss lasted for maybe a second or two before he let go. "Michael, I love you."
I could feel my face turn red. I looked at his face; he was blushing from head to toe, and was wearing that goofy smile and that twinkle in his eye that he displayed whenever he was excited. I embraced him, his body comfortable next to mine and his breath warm again my skin. "I love you to."
