Because of love

Talk to me

" Larry...? Are u alright..? " As soon as Sal said that a chill ran up Larry's spine. He didn't want to talk to Sal right now. Nothing against Sal, but he wanted to collect his thoughts before he  was gonna speak again. " Larry please answer.." this only made Larry more upset. It was as if he was no longer Larry, he was just a sad panicking ball of his former self. As soon as he even thought of what to say he started to cry more. Sal walked over to him, he didn't know what to do. He had never seen Larry get like this before. Sal sat down next to Larry on his bed. Sal decided to rub Larry's back, when Sal put his hand on Larry's back it made Larry jump a little. " Larry. " no answer. " L-Larry.." Larry turned away from Sal. Not wanting his best friend to see him such a pathetic mess. Sal turned Larry's head forcing them to make eye content. As soon as they did Larry closed his eyes and Sal pulled Larry into a hug. He hated to see his best friend like this. " Larry, what happend? " " I-I...y-you..you and-..and I...and you..I-" Larry cried more. He didn't know what to say and didn't know how to say it. He didn't want to sound jealous or make Sal feel pressured to not talk to Travis anymore. He wanted Sal to be happy, but he wanted to be happy too. Sal pulled Larry back into a hug as Larry cried into Sals shoulder. " it's alright Lar. Calm down. " just Sals voice alone calmed him down a little. After a few minutes everything went silent. " you feel alright now Larry? " " I feel...b-better. " Larry said. " good enough then. So. What happened? Talk me Lar. " " I just...I'm scared that..you and Travis will..become close friends and then he will break your heart.." Larry lied so he wouldn't sound selfish or rude. " Larry. I know I've said this before but. I promise I won't get to close to Travis. And if I do I will be as carful as I can to make sure he won't hurt me. You don't have to worry about me Larry, I promise. I'm gonna be alright " " o-ok. Thanks Sal.." " no problem Lar, now come on. Let's go play some video games." " alright "

The next day at school Sal and Travis talked as they did the day before and that worried Larry. But Sal made sure to talk to Larry too. At the end of the day Sal and Larry were walking home " can we play video games when we get home Sal? " " sure Lar. " Sal and Travis were texting again. " your talking to Travis. Right Sal? " " yea, I am Lar. But I swear. We're not- " Sal was cut off. " no no it's ok Sal. What are you guys taking about? " " next Saturday " " really? What's happening next Saturday?" " you won't be mad right..?" Sal said. He sounded worry. This made Larry have a bad feeling in his stomach. " no. Why would I be? " " well..um. Me and Travis are gonna hang out at my apartment next Saturday. " that struck a pause in Larry. The way it had yesterday. " Larry I know how it sounds. But Travis said you can even be there with us if you want! It will be fun,you can finally get to know him for who he really is! " oh. Larry knows who Travis ' really is ' he is a little fucker who wants to take Sal away from him. He must know Larry has attachment issues. And there's no way in hell Larry wants to be there to talk with the person who wants to make Larry feel alone. He was not going to hang out with Sal and Travis. " oh uh, no thanks. I got plans on Saturday. " " oh alright. Maybe some other time then! I can't wait to hang out with Travis somewhere outside of school for a change. And I'm so glad your ok with it! It's a win win! " yeah...a win..everyone wins..well...almost everyone.
