The Bet ~ Randy

Phobia

Because i can't start being without ya
I've got a phobia of letting you go
And i want you to know
I'm not afraid, no
I'm safe with you

Andy's point of view

The last few days I went to school with Rye. I always feel safe when he's around . Rye and I are still not really official. We are always around each other and love each other but none of us ever had the balls to ask to make it official. Yes I'm planning on asking him cuz it's taking me to long. I really want to make it romantic so I asked him to come over at mine.

I bought some wine and snacks and placed some candles around my place. Nothing too much cuz Rye is not that kind of person. I put on some music as I heard a knock on the door.

"Hey fovvs." He smiled as I opened the door as he smashed his lips on mine. I pulled away and let him in. I got us both a glass of wine. "Fancy." Rye said as I give him his glas.

"I like to treat you with good stuff." I told him.

"Soooo." Rye said. "Why did you want me around out of the nowhere."

"I just wanted your company." I smiled.

"I was playing fortnite you know." He said looking annoyed.

"I'm sorry."

"You are luck you're good looking." He smirked as he placed his glass on the table and we sat down on the couch. I placed my glass next to his. "But you own me something now." He said before pulling me into his lap as he start making out but I pulled away.

"I need to ask you something." I said.

"Ask away."

"Do you want to be my boyfriend." I whispered but loud enough for him to hear. He got off of me and sat down on the couch again. It was silent. "Rye."

"I- I don't know." He said not really excited.

"What do you mean?" I ask him.

"I don't know." He said again.

"We're always acting like we're together." I said. "Why not make it official?"

"Because..." he said but didn't finish.

"Tell me Rye." I begged.

"I can't explain it." He said as he got up.

"So why did you act like you're in love with me but don't want to make it official?" I ask him getting annoyed but heartbroken at the same time.

"I can't tell you." He said looking away from me.

"So you just used me for your needs." I said.

"It's not like that Andy." He said. "I just can't explain." And with that he ran away. Well I guess we're over.

Ryan's point of view.

As I ran away from Andy's place after he asked me to be his boyfriend. I felt heartbroken. But I can't make it official.

I texted Mikey cuz I wanted to talk with him. He was at his place so I went over there. His family was out for dinner but he didn't went out with them.

"Hey Mike." I said as I sat down on his couch.

"Are you crying?" He asks as he sat down next to me and a tear came running down my face.

"I don't." I whiped it away.

"What happened?" Mikey asks.

"Andy." I said. "He asked me to be his boyfriend."

"Wait weren't you already dating?" He asks.

"We never made it official." I told him.

"So you two are a thing now?" He asks.

"No." I said. "I just ran away."

"YOU WHAT?!" Mikey shouted.

"I ran away." I whispered.

"YOU IDIOT!" He said as he slapped the back of my head.

"You just don't understand." I said.

"Ryan Beaumont, I know you got heartbroken after Lisa broke up with you after a 2 years relationship and I know you're scared it happens again but Andy is not that kind of guy who does that." He said.

"I'm just scared." I said.

"So you just run away and leave Andy heartbroken." Mikey said angry.

"How do I explain it to him?" I ask. "He will think I'm an idiot."

"He'll understand." Mikey said.

"I don't know." I said. Maybe Mikey is right and I should have explained it why I still haven't asked him insteat of running away. I must left him heartbroken but how do I make up to him? I don't know if I can face him again, I must have hurt him so much.

Andy's point of view

I cried myself asleep every single night and didn't show up at school. Ryan just used me for his needs. I'm just one of his sluts.

I have to go back to school as exams are coming closer so when I got ready I got a text of my dad.

From my dad: tonight I'm coming around for dinner, make something nice.

I rolled my eyes at his text. He just invites himself for dinner, great!

The walk to school was lonely and scary as other people walked passed me and giving me dirty looks.

"Andrew Fowler." I hear liam's voice. "Where is your boyfriend?"

"Leave me alone." I told him.

"Awh did he broke your little heart." Liam said.

I ignored him as I arrived at school. Ryan and his friends stood there, chatting. I ignored them as I walked pass them. He didn't even look at me. As I arrived at my class I sat down at my usual spot infront. The others came in as well same for Ryan and his friends.

"Ah look who showed up again." A stranger said as he stood infront of my little desk. "Mister gay Andy."

I ignored him but he grabbed me by my shirt and pulled me up.

"You're such a loser." He said before letting me go and went to his place. I looked behind me to Ryan. Normaly he protects me from people like that guy. But now he wasn't even looking at me.

When lunch came. I hide myself at the toilets and locked myself up. I was scared cuz everyone was giving me dirty looks and Ryan wasn't here to protect me. I'm not only scared of being beaten up I'm also scared of being alone cuz who ever wants to date a loser like me.

After school I went home and locked myself up in my room. I text my dad to let him know I have a big test tomorrow I have to study for to cancel the dinner. It's a lie but I'm not in the mood for dinner. I grabbed my guitar. I recently bought and teached myself. I start playing something I made myself. As I kept on playing, some lyrics popped up in my head. I grabbed a pen and paper.

'It's like i'm living a bad dream, bad dream
And only you can wake me, yeah
I've been sleeping with the light on
Like i'm afraid of the dark
Afraid of a broken heart'

I wrote down before going to bed and cried myself asleep again.
