[cry's p.o.v.]

I stand up and back away so fast that I accidentally knock over a lamp by Pewdie's bedside. It shatters on the floor and a piece of it flies up and imbeds itself into my hand. With my mask off, I feel open and exposed. The only person I allow myself to be open around is Pewds. Nobody else. He is the one I'm in love with, after all. I'm pretty sure this is love.

Charles stares at me with what at first were pretty brown eyes, but now they now seem dead and cold. Piggeh still smiles naturally, and I hate him for it. Suddenly, I feel a strong hatred for both of the men sitting in front of me. They're threatening my family.

"Cry..." Felix tries to grab my hand, probably to calm me down, but I pull away. He looks hurt at first, but then his expression hardens into the same old defiance and determination I'm used to.

"What are you talking about?" I growl, sounding a bit like a cornered animal even to my own ears. I take a threatening step toward Charles, and Piggeh's expression of calm drops right away. He looks like he will kill me if I touch his boyfriend. "How do you know anything about me?" The brunette flinches away as I start to raise my hand to hit him.

"Cry, that's enough." Felix stops my hand midair, and for a second he's the one I want to hit. I look at him with blank, cold eyes. I need to protect him. Why doesn't he understand? Pewdie reaches out and sets his hand on my chest. Our signature gesture, but this time I don't want it. I slap away his hand, but he just puts it back.

"Pewds. Stop. I need to-" He cuts me off by raising his other hand to my lips. I stop speaking immediately. His fingers are soft.

"That's right. You need to calm down." He brushes my hair from my eyes with a smile. "Can you do that for me, and then we can work out what is happening...? Together...?" For a second I really do consider it. Pewds is my best friend. I can trust him right? He smiles again with the corner of his mouth. He looks absolutely beautiful when he does that. It makes me want to kiss him.

But I can't stay here.

I'll just ruin him. Him and that beautiful smile.

"N-no." I stumble back, ramming my back against the door. "Stay here, okay? Stay safe. I'll end this." I open the door with shaking hands and sprint out of the room. I hear Pewds cursing behind me, but I can't go back.

I just... can't stay here.

>>>>

He still follows me.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I snap as he jogs after me and grabs my hand. We're standing on the sidewalk leading up to his house. "Go back inside. I swear, Felix, I'll-"

"Hello?" Hey says, stretching out the "o" sarcastically. "You need a ride, dipshit. You aren't the Flash." I bite my lip. I hadn't thought that far yet. I wince as takes my other hand, the one with glass stuck in it. He flips my hand around and watches for a second as blood runs down our hands.

"Pewds... you're getting all-"

"This won't end in blood, okay?" He pulls out the piece of glass and throws it out into the grass. I wince as fresh blood comes out. He takes it anyway and kisses my cheek. "I promise you this won't end in blood."

>>>>

"Cry! Happy birthday!" I walk into a room full of bright grins. Felix beside me smiles shyly, and I know he feels like he's intruding, but it's alright. I'm glad he's here... even if I asked him to wait in the car. Amy and Nate laugh at my dumbfounded expression. But really, my expression isn't at the surprise party. Nate sucks at keeping secrets. I'm surprised they're still alive.
