love never dies.

Andy's POV

It was Sunday the day I dreaded because it was the day my mum and dad didn't have work. 

I was sitting at the dinner table with my family, it was quiet as every meal usually is with my family, the only sounds heard were spoons scraping the plate. 

"remember you have your therapist appointment today." my mother said as it  reminded me to hate Sunday for another reason. 

"I don't get why I need to I'm fine" I rolled my eyes slightly with the thought of how extra everyone was being. 

"you're not fine, no ones ever fine" Brooklyn said as I glared at him across the table. I'm the older sibling here. 

The room filled with a powerful tension, no one dared to look at each other or talk. That was until my phone pinged, Im a introvert at school and so I don't have friends except for Brooklyn. 

"whos texting you, you don't have any friends?" Brooklyn asked basking in his cockyness. 

"oh fuck off" I rolled my eyes and we started to bicker back and forth until my mum suddenly leapt out of her chair, tears in her eyes running out of the room. My dad ran straight after her comforting her. 

"now you've done it" I Turned to him and scoffed in disbelief of his attitude. With me and Brook we care about each other more than anyone but at snap of my fingers we can end up wanting to scratch each others throats out. 

I grabbed my phone and ran out of the house straight to the only place where I felt safe. The park.

I spent three hours wondering around, sitting at the swings then at the pond watching the birds glide on the water creating ripples making it look more peaceful and now I'm sitting on a tree dangling my legs down from branch observing the world around me. 

it was 12 O'clock now, I knew I had to return home for my appointment, whenever I thought about my home I thought about every possibility of running away, how I would, where I would go. 

one day I actually planned it to a T, but then all I could imagine was the broken look of my mother she'd been hurt before I could never do that to her. 

I dragged myself to my house and the first thing to greet me was an image of Brooklyn watch something on the TV.  I walked myself over to him and wrapped my arms around him, he instantly welcomed the hug. No sorry was ever needed. whenever we fought we would hug it out, in fights both parties are in the wrong this way no ones ego would be damaged. 

-- skipping the boring therapy lesson -- 

finally back from hell and I had let the covers of my bed eat me welcoming the darkness of sleep. 

I had fell asleep for five minutes until my phone had pinged again. Groaning loudly I opened my phone not being able to stand a unopened notification. 

RyeBeaumont 
hey stranger, long time no text. 

RyeBeaumont

He always seemed to be busy but I didn't wanna make it seem like I was effected by it.

yh np 

I turned off my phone and decided to go to the park again, even if all I wanted to do was sleep, some part of me wanted to see him more. 

we met up at the park and we've been talking about the most random of things for the past three hours, even though it was late neither of us wanted to leave. I could stare into his gorgeous brown eyes forever. 

The sun began to leave us, setting the clouds of fire with a beautiful pinky orange color. I stared at the sky for awhile knowing it would disappear soon, and we would be staring at a black blue sky instead. 

As I was mesmerized by the beautiful nature above me, Rye had taken the liberty of staring at me. The corner of my eye I could tell he gazed me identically to the way I would at the sky, pure admiration. 

"Andy" he called, his voice was low again. whispering my name hearing the care he had in his voice. 

He motioned to my hand asking to hold it, having enough confidence in myself I nodded. 

He held it, softly stroking it. He seemed nervous in a way but with a little excitement, his smile faltered here and there but then it stayed when we met each other's gaze. 

"I just wanted to ask, if you would maybe like to be my boyfriend. you don't have to, if you're not comfortable I just want you to receive all the love I can give you even if you don't want me I'd still give you all the kindness and care in the world." he took my hand up to his mouth, giving it a gentle soft kiss before placing it back on my lap. 

I didn't stutter or even have to think about my answer, deep down I knew my feelings for the brunette no matter how many times people would tell me it's wrong, I couldn't care less. 

"if I say yes, you do know we'll have to keep it a secret" I fidgeted with my fingers feeling the tension rise and allowing my thoughts to roam around. 

"as long I had you, I couldn't care less"
