Garrett's POV:
( Shane: Him? He's your savior. )
I stare at the man behind Shane for what seems like quite a long time before finding my words. "Th-thankyou" I stutter. *Great Garrett. THATS your first impression* He smiles meekly and says quietly "N-no problem". He's actually kind of adorable. Shane walks up to me " I gotta go home to Ryland now so be safe bitch" he says jokefully. He then turns around, pats the other man on the shoulder and leaves. Now it's just me and this incredibly hot man who saved my life in a room together. Great. "So whats your name" I say cheerfully to him. He just mutters "Andrew" and looks at the ground. "Well thats a nice name" I say trying to ease the tension in the atmosphere. He looks up and smiles. That smile just made my hurt melt, and hurt.
*garret you idiot you just drowned its not him* "Well how bout you walk me home Mr Andrew" I say laughing. He nods again and says "I'll wait outside". He leaves and I start to get changed.
Andrew's POV:
I rush out of the room and slump into one of the waiting rooms chairs. I was so fricken awkward in there and now I have to walk him home?! I try to calm myself down and I manage to start breathing at a regular pace just before Garrett walks down the corridor and up to me. He's wearing a goofy lobster shirt and adorable round glasses that extenuate his eyes. I stand up and say "Ready?" He nods and we walk in silence for about 10 minutes until Garrett starts talking.
Garrett: I can get a bus from here.
Andrew: You sure man ?
Garrett: Yeah just gimme your number so I can text you when I get home
Andrew: O-okay u-umm here
I write my number on a piece of paper and give it to him. He puts it in his pocket and says his bus is here. Both of us stand there in silence and then awkwardly say goodbye and shake hands and he leaves. The moment the bus rounds the corner, I sign heavily and walk home. God why did I have to be gay. At least I kinda know he's gay too so no homophobic shit that I've gotten my whole life. I moved to LA to get away from people who knew who I was and it was going great. I was not about to ruin that.
