My Snarky Tutor(Boyxboy)

~Chapter Twenty-Four~

A/N:Sorry, this Is one of my crappy chapters. It should be long because of what's going on but Instead, It's shorter than It should be. Honestly, I didn't feel like writing this and I forced myself to. But I guarantee that the next chapter Is way better than this one.

I let out a little noise out of shock as I felt my body go stiff. I could feel Dustin's cold hands roughly cupping my cheeks. What was with him all of a sudden? Why was he kissing me In school In front of everyone all of a sudden? OH MY GOD, ERIC!

Without thinking, I pushed Dustin away and turned around to see Eric's face... but he wasn't here anymore. My heart pounded In fear. Eric left...he was disgusted with me, wasn't he?

I clamped my hand over my mouth In shock. I heard Dustin's distant voice but I ignored It. Things wouldn't be the same between Eric and I again. If he wasn't disgusted with me, he must've feel uncomfortable then. Why else would he leave?

I walked away feeling the eyes of everyone In the hall. I didn't care, I'll worry about that later. My relationship with Eric was now In jeopardy. Things will be so awkward between us. I had to fix things but how? Should I give him a few days for the shock to blow over a bit and talk to him to see where things would go? I thought that would be the best thing to do but.. what If he doesn't accept me? I mean, I know for fact he would not throw a homophobic slur at me. That wasn't like him. He would never hurt me In any way. It was just that accepting homosexuality while being religious or being raised In a religious family wasn't easy. Even If Eric was okay with It, his parents may be against It and may even forbid Eric to hang out me.

I snapped out of deep thoughts and realized that I walked all the way to the back door of my school. My third period class was on the other side of the school, second floor. I realized that the halls were completely empty. Classes have started already. I let out a sigh since I had to go to the office first to get a late slip.

As I began walking, Eric appeared In my head again. I didn't want to lose him. I couldn't imagine how my life would be If he wasn't around and I didn't want to find out either.

"Come on,a few bites?" I picked up Eric's fork,gathering pasta, then held It up to his mouth. "Please,for me?" I could hear the desperation In my voice. Eric turned to me, looking away from his novel and gave me an apologetic expression. He put his book down, took the fork away from me and got up, bringing his plate with him. He dropped the fork In the sink and wrapped the plate In plastic wrap, sticking It In the fridge. He walked out of the kitchen, leaving his novel behind.

I glanced down at my plate. Should I stop eating as well so Eric would get worried, tell me to eat then I could tell him I would If he did too? I mean, If Eric skipped a meal once In a while (which rarely happens) then I wouldn't be so worried but he has barely eaten anything for the past few days. He'd eat something small In the morning like a fruit or granola bar then wouldn't eat anything else for the rest of the day.

I've never seen Eric starve himself or lose his appetite before. It seemed too strange but then again, he had never been heartbroken before either. He just seen the person he really liked get kissed by someone else. He didn't know that Noah was taken. He never even knew that Noah was gay, he may have suspected but I didn't think he was sure.

I wondered what Eric was thinking after he found out Noah was gay. Was he thinking about giving Noah the card since he knew Noah wasn't going to be so uncomfortable as he thought? Was Eric thinking about confessing to Noah?

I got up and walked out of the kitchen and went Into the living room. I saw him sitting on the couch so I sat down beside him. He looked at me and we locked eyes for a moment. Eric hung his head low and then laid down, resting his head on my lap.

I cradled his head, replaying the kiss between Noah the boyfriend. I didn't understand. I was 100% sure that Noah liked Eric as much as he liked him. Anyone with eyes and brain could see It. They looked absolutely perfect together! I hate the boyfriend for messing that up! Wait, that was too harsh...but kissing Noah In front of Eric was too so... I hate the boyfriend. Even If he just wanted to kiss Noah with no intention, he just outed Noah in front of many people when Noah wasn't ready yet. Sure I outed Noah to Eric but It was only in front of one person and It was for a good cause! I was afraid that I didn't, the two boys would think "I like him but he doesn't like me back" until they're old and grey.

Noah and the boyfriend just doesn't seem right together. The kiss wasn't even good either. It looked awkward.

A whole week has passed and I haven't seen Eric at all.I had planning to avoid him but when I walk by his classes, the library and the senior lockers, I hadn't seen him  there.I've been trying to avoid Dustin as well but we kept on bumping Into each other.I kept walking away If he tried to talk to me. He texted me and tried to call me numerous of times but I ignored them all. I never thought I'd be this angry at anyone before let alone Dustin. I've tried to forgive him countless times and I'd tell myself that I was being too harsh on him but I couldn't help It. It was because of him that Eric and I will never be friends again.

A few times, the thought of breaking It off with Dustin crossed my mind. But I didn't do It even though at times I wanted to. I couldn't let anger make careless decisions. It happened a few times before and It made me have regrets.

I took a shower, changed Into my pajamas and brushed my teeth. I hoped I could sleep properly tonight. Thoughts of Eric invaded my mind almost every moment of everyday. I thought about the time I spent with him and I tried to think of what I was going to say when I see him again.

I grabbed my Ipod and climbed Into bed. I searched for a song a to play for about five minutes. There are particular songs I listen to when I feel upset, depressed or angry. I first played "Have a little faith" by Michael Frantini, which Is one of the songs I play the most. I closed my eyes and eventually pretended that Eric was singing to me Instead.

I grabbed my pillow and held It tight against my chest. Damn It, I missed Eric so much, that It was killing me. I couldn't stop thinking about him no matter how much I tried. The thoughts of him were haunting me.

What should I do? How could I make things right?

I then listened to "Broken" by Lifehouse. When the song was done, I began to search for another song to play. Since nothing was playing at that moment, I heard my phone beep. I took off my earphones and walked to my desk to grab my phone.

Someone had texted me.

Even though I knew It was going to be from Dustin, I checked It anyways.

My heart nearly skipped a beat. It wasn't from Dustin at all. It was from Eric.

Mr.Grumpy:Goodnight, Noah.

The text was short and simple yet It made overwhelmed with emotions. Why was he texting me all of sudden? 

I typed In numerous replies before deleted them. I had no Idea what message to send him. I typed In apologizes, I typed that I missed him and asked him when I could see him. Nothing seemed good enough. No words could expressed how much I missed him.

After about twenty minutes, I finally sent him a message.

Me:Goodnight. Call me anytime.
