Beam POV

I am walking without seeing anything. My eyes are full of tears and I don't know how to stop them from falling.

I can see a door nearby and without thinking, I enter the room.

I am in an empty classroom. I can't hear the sound of the student, and It feels good. I can relax a little bit.

After a few second of silence, I hear the door open.

« Can we talk ? »

It's him. He followed me ? Of course he did.

« Yes »

That's it . The moment I have been pushing away since that day.

I definitely don't want to hear what he have to say but I am trapped. I don't have any other choice. And deep down, I want to know.

« I am so sorry Beam »

Wait ... what ?

« I never should have done this to you. I can't forgive myself. I know that you've been avoiding me, maybe you hate me right know ... »

« I don't hate you. I though you hated me »

« What ? Why ». Forth is so stunned

« Because I threw myself to you »

« No you didn't. »

Now, it's me who doesn't understand

« This is not what happened Beam »

« So tell me. What happened? »

Oh no. Now his face changed, he look so pale. Like he is scared. Or maybe shy. I don't know.
I insisted.

« Tell me. Please ! »

« I kissed you. I was the one who threw myself at you. »

Silence. I don't know what to say. I was so drunk, I can't remember a thing. I assumed I was the one ... I though he didn't stopped me because he is nice. And because I forced him.

I asked him the only thing I was dying to know.

« Why ? »

I saw him looking at his trembling hand.

« Because I was furious, I was sad and shocked. You said that you loved someone who didn't love you. You said that he loved someone else.... Maybe i was a little jealous. »

I am more confused than before

« I don't understand. Why do you care about the one I love ? »

It's you. I love you. Damnit.

His face became red of anger and he looked me in the eyes

« So you really love that guy ? Who is he ? It's a guy right ! I thought you were straight ! Why do I hear about that just now ? That you can love guys ! »

Why is he so angry ?

He is now walking in the class, screaming some nonsense about being in love with guy while dating girl, I don't understand a bit.

« Why are you screaming at me ! Why are you so angry about me loving a guy ! You are bi ! And you are also loving someone as wayo said ! »

We are now yelling at each other ! I can feel my tears falling from sadness and angriness

« You didn't tell me ! We are friends ! »

« Friends don't make out ! »

« ok we are not friend ! We are nothing ! Go find your man and don't bother me anymore »

He went to the door, ready to leave

I love you. Please don't leave. If you do, we will not be friend. I can't take it.

I scream by despair one last question

« Why do you care so much ? »

« Because I love you ! »

He turned himself to me to scream that.

Maybe I didn't hear it right ? It can't be right ?

« What did you just say ? »

I don't recognize my own voice when I said this. I was like my voice was cracked.

He seems to realize what he just said because his eyes went wide opens and he froze.

I walk slowly to him, begging him for an answer.

« Forth. Please. What did you just say ? »

He seems to want to escape so I grabbed his arm tightly to prevent him to do so.

« I .. said that .. I mean »

« Do you love me ? The person you love, is that me ? »

Omg. Too confident. At least, i will have a clear answer today. I will cry for the next few weeks and ...

« Yes. It is you »
