"y/n, it's ok. you know, don't tell him i said this, but he likes you too." nick tries to comfort me while i'm crying in my bed.

i'm so stupid. we started off as friends, and we were fine, now i have feelings? why would he like someone who can't talk? he would never like me.

all i do is shake my head at nick's attempt to help me. does he really think that? think he likes me back? i didn't even mean for nick to find out. at least he's the only one that knows.

"i-" my vocals get cut off by my drowning of tears.

"shh," he brings me into a hug, and i don't hesitate to wrap my arms around him.

"y/n?" i hear the door open, and clay walks in. it's pretty early in the morning, i don't even know why they're awake. it was my cries that woke them up. what's wrong with me?

"clay," i only say his name, i'm not able to say anything else, not just because i'm mute, but my throat won't let anything come out.

"hey," he comes over to mine and nick's hug, and puts a hand on my shoulder. "what happened?" his voice is clearly full of concern.

"it's better to not say," nick tells him, respecting my privacy. clay nods, understanding. we sit there in silence, it's pretty awkward, until nick says, "what do you want for breakfast, want me to make something? or go out," i shake my head at his last suggestion, i don't wanna go out looking like this.

"do we have pancake mix?" clay looks at us. my eyes light up, he knows i love pancakes.

"yes, we do actually," nick smiles and gets up to go to the kitchen, which leaves me and clay.

"you ok?" he says once nick is gone.

"yeah," i manage to say as my tears stop leaving my eyes.

"you sure?"

"mhm," i smile to reassure him. he nods and stands up about to leave. "clay," i say before he leaves. he turns to look at me, seeing if i did something. i take the blankets off my lap, and walk over to him. i stand in front of him, while he's looking at me with confusion. i feel a ping of deju vu, and suddenly hug him. "th- thank- k yo- u." i try.

he wraps his arms around me, settling into the hug.
