~Tuesday afternoon~

-Vikk's POV-

"You guys really got caught?!" Add screamed at Preston and Rob who both just stood leaning on the doorframe.

".....yeah...." Preston mumbled under his breath but I heard it. I can tell he's been feeling really bad about what happened at prom. He hasn't really been talking to us, well he talks to Rob but not really the rest of us.

"Preston." I say standing up making everyone look at me even Preston. "This is not your fault, you did what you thought was right and I'm sorry that the school is homophobic." He cracked a small smile at me but didn't reply. No one did. I just sat back down next to Lachy and rested my head on his shoulder.

"g-" Preston started but chocked on his words, he looked back down at the floor and brought his hands up to his face. Presumably wiping away a few stray tears that fell from his eyes. "g-guys I'm so s-sorry." Preston said before turning and sprinting out of Aubrey's hospital room.

"I'll go see if he's ok." Rob said quietly as he walked out after Preston.

The room was silent when they left, no one dared to speak. We all just sat their silence. Honestly all I can really think about is how terrified I am to find out what 'punishment' the school has in store for us, tomorrow.

Just as I was thinking the worst Lachy randomly stood up making my head jerk downwards pulling me out of my thoughts. I looked at him with one eyebrow raised, he didn't tell me anything though he just smiled at me and walked out of the room.

"Where's he going?" Eye asked looking directly at me like I was supposed to know. I just shrugged, Eye looked at me and walked out of the room as well. I didn't need to ask what she was doing I knew she was going to go try and find him.

"So, why didn't Mitch and Jerome come down?" Add asked trying to break the heavy silence between me, her and Abi.

"I don't know, they said something about cheeking in with family right?" Abi looked at me and I just nodded.

"At least I think that's what they said." I explain as I hugged my legs into the my chest, putting my shoes onto the seat.

Add looked like she was going to say something but got cut off by a small knock on the doorframe. It was Eye. She looked over to me with a strange look of sympathy on her face.

"Lachy wants to talk to you, he's waiting for you in the bathroom." She said quietly as she went and sat in the chair next to Abi.

I nodded and walked out of the room not saying another word. What could he want? Does he hate me or something, I know we aren't like together or anything but..... UGH the heck!! I made my way into the bathroom and saw Lachlan standing at the sink hunched over, leaning on it.

"Lachy?" I asked as I walked over to him and stood next to him. "A-are you ok? Eye told me you wanted to see me?" I asked again.

He slowly looked up to me, his face stained with tears. My heart dropped into my stomach, what did I do?

"Lachy you have to tell me what I did!!" I said feeling tears threatening to spill out of my eyes.

"Y-you didn't d-do anyth-thing." He stuttered as he pulled me into a tight hug.

"Lachy please you have to tell me why your crying." I told him rubbing my hand up and down his back.

"I-I-I-I-" He stuttered out as he held onto me even tighter.

"You what?"

"I-I-I'm terrified f-for t-to-tomorrow. I don't want anything to happen to any of us, especially you." I felt a small smile form on my lips. He cares about me, awww, he's so cute.

"Do you want me to make you feel better?" I asked a few tears spilling from my eyes as he rested his chin on the top of my head. I felt him slowly nod.

"That's why I asked Eye to get you." He whispered.

I lightly brushed my lips on his for a second then snuggling my way into his chest.

"I love you Lachy." I told him out of nowhere. OH MY GOD!! I just told Lachlan I love him and WE AREN'T EVEN TOGETHER!! SHIT!!

He smiled at me, softly placing his lips on mine for a few seconds. "I love you too." Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!

"Do you feel better now?" I asked as we intertwined or hands and slowly walked out of the bathroom together.

"Yeah, thanks." He nodded.

"Sooooooooo, I'm assuming you two got back together?" Eye asked as we stepped into the hospital room. I looked up at Lachy and we both slowly nodded at her.

"Wait, WHAT?!" Abi yelled standing up from her seat and glancing between Eye, me and Lachlan. Eye chuckled slightly, she totally knew that me going to comfort Lachy was going to end in us getting back together. "EYELYN YOU KNEW!?!?" She yelled at Eye which made her laugh harder.

Just then Rob walked back into the room, he looked super...... upset. Wait has he been crying!?

"Preston's parents called him, they heard about what happened at prom.... t-they don't want him to come to see them ever again." Rob told us as he leant on the wall by the door. The odd tear falling out of his eye.

I'm so so sorry that it was so short BUT on the bright side the next chapter will be a lot longer than any other chapter.

Um I need a question to ask so I'm gonna ask....

Are you enjoying the book? And.. are you getting the notifications for this book? Cause one of my friends isn't and I'm wondering if they just aren't working probably. 🤔

Love ya all long time .
