narrative two

vik pov
i couldn't stand the suspense.
i had to know. being told that your best friend was hiding something from you really hurts. even if he is dead.
so i asked tobi.

narrative
"tobi? what was that thing you texted me about?" vik asked.
tobi and simon's faces both dropped suddenly. they glanced at each other, and a tense silence filled the room.
"it's nothing i- i don't really remember" he answered, but vik knew he was lying, and ethan was curious now.
"come on tobi you can tell us." ethan replied.
simon looked as though he was about to faint. his forehead began to sweat as his eyes darted around the room, as though he was frantically searching for a subject change. but he was too slow.

tobi pov
i'm sorry harry. i didn't want to tell them, not now anyway. at first i was angry but now i just wanted us to move on. to stay together. i missed them so much i can't cause another drama to break us apart again.

narrative
"ummm" tobi began, until simon interrupted.
"harry and i were dating. he and i would exchange love notes. tobi found them in his room and was going to tell you all. honestly i should've been the one to do it.
it was only for four months, roughly six weeks before harry.. you know. it was the best four months of my life. we realised that we couldn't hide it from you any longer, and keeping it a secret was too hard. so we decided to end it. i'm sorry i didn't tell you guys. i thought you would get angry. now harry josh and jj are dead and i feel like it's all my fault."
the others stood in shock. they didn't know what they had just heard. before anyone could say anything simon stormed out of the flat, got in his car and drove off.
the boys sat in disbelief.
