Recap:

Andrew smiled sadly at his friends and sighed.

"I broke up with my boyfriend."

--------

Ellie looked at the ex-school football player in shock, her hands immediately going to cover her mouth, Johan widened his eyes and stopped texting Madison on his phone, and Rebecca was stunned as she stood in her place for a moment which felt like forever.

Ellie laughed nervously before sitting on the chair next to the hospital bed. "N-No, you're joking right?"

"Yeah," Johan gulped and knelt beside his bedridden friend. "No way, right? I mean, you and Jack have been together for almost 2 years now."

Rebecca, who stopped from being stunned, latched onto Ellie and sat down next next her, seeking her comfort.

"Andrew," she began, her cold words sharp as a knife. "What exactly happened to the both of you."

Andrew sighed and sat up with the help of Ellie and Johan who were both beside each side of him. Ellie carefully tried not to disturb his injured arm and sat back down after.

"It happened two weeks ago."

It was slightly snowing in Baker Street, it was barely cold to what Andrew might say as he was walking down the street to his boyfriend, Jack's, house.

Jack and him have been planning for this dinner date since the start of the year because of their two year anniversary of being together and two years of coming out to their friends.

Andrew walked along the side of the road with a skip in his step. He glanced at his black coloured watch, an expensive gift, Ellie bought for him for Christmas.

He looked at the hands on the clock, the smaller one on the number 5 and the longer one on the number 10.

Andrew wasn't late however, he was definitely early because the dinner date was supposed to be at 6:30 but the poor boy was so nervous he couldn't wait any longer.

He smelt of lavender and chrysanthemum, as he was sprayed with a perfume that Mrs. Amaya had on her dressing table.

He took a turn to the right, his eyes immediately meeting the coffee shop that Rebecca adored, and Johan's aunt's nail salon that was opened up before the quarterback was born.

Andrew sighed and ruffled his blond hair, the soles of his feet getting heavier and heavier, but he didn't know why. He felt them scratch against the bumpy pavement as he gulped and felt his throat aching.

'Why do I have a bad feeling about this?' Andrew thought, looking at the gift he bought for Jack. He scratched his cheek and continued walking to his boyfriend's house with heavy thoughts lingering in his mind.

He passed by a few shops until he reached, Jack's house. A small, white house lined with vines climbing up the side of the house.

Andrew let out a shaky breath, shaking his hands to let go of the nervousness he had and mustered up the courage to press the doorbell.

It rang. Andrew heard two muffled voices from the house and giggling. The voices soon became closer and closer to the door as he braced himself.
