RYAN'S POV
I'm not sure exactly how long it's been since I met Andy, certainly more than a month. The fact is that since that day my feelings have grown continuously and it seems that they don't want to stop. The only one who knows about my feelings for Andy is Jack, I don't know how he understood it, in my opinion it's because now I can't keep it hidden anymore, my expressions and my eyes speak more than words can. He took it well and I'm delighted, I was afraid he wouldn't accept me, but luckily it wasn't like that.

It's my mom's birthday in four days and so I took a few days to be with my family. My brothers and I made the gift together: we took a large frame with all the family photos inside, even the craziest ones. She'd love it, she loves these things!

I've been thinking about it for a long time, I want to come out to my family. I'll do it the day after my mom's birthday because, not knowing how to get it, I don't want to spoil it in some way. The only thing I want is for them to accept me as I am; as you already know, they have always been there for me and it is not right that I keep something so important from them and with all sincerity I can no longer keep it hidden, I feel that I am about to explode.

Jack still does not know that I will be away for three days so I decide to go to his room to tell him and of course I will also tell him about the decision I made

"Can I come in?" I ask knocking on Jack's bedroom door

"Sure bro, come in"

"Do you remember that it's my mom's birthday in a few days?" I ask, hoping he remembers

"Yes yes of course" Jack replies with a smile on his face

"Here, you see, I'll be away for three days, I'm going to my family's house so we can all celebrate together"

"Okay ... do you have to tell me something else by any chance?"

"Well, actually, yes" I look down, the tears threaten to come out .... I can't hold them back anymore and I start crying like a baby

"Hey hey calm Rye, what's up? Talk to me please. Is it for Andy?" he hugs me tightly and somehow I can feel better instantly

"W-well i-in a way yes"

"Come on, explain to me, I'm all ears" he says breaking away from the embrace and looking into my eyes

"See I decided to tell my family, I'm gay. I'm scared Jack, I'm scared they won't

accept me. You know very well how important they are to me. I don't want to disappoint them"

"Rye listen to me, I know them well, I'm sure they will accept you always and forever"

"B-but Jack you don't understand"

"I'm not saying this because I think it's the right thing to say right now, I'm sure I believe it 100%, they love you too much, you would never disappoint them, indeed they will be proud of you"

"Thank you Jack, you are really special. Thank you for everything" I hug him showing him all the affection I feel for him, he is really special for me

"You know you don't have to thank me. I love you."

"I love you too"

JACK'S POV
I'm really proud that Rye was able to figure out who he really is. Come to think of it Andy and Rye together make a nice couple. I hope they get together, but we don't even know if Andy reciprocates. The smiles they exchanged spoke quite clearly, but I wouldn't want it to be just my impression. So I decide to write a message to Brooklyn. We exchanged the number the night we met for the first time. I remember when I asked him he smiled and blushed, it's so beautiful when he smiles! Jack what the fuck is happening to you ?! But how can I bear myself? Dunno, mystery.

"Hi Brook, would you like to go for a walk? I have to ask you some things ..."

"Hi Jaaack, what do you have to ask me?"

"If you come you will find out otherwise nothing"

"Oh okay. Meet me in front of my house, there are a lot of parks and we can rest assured since there is no one around at this time"

"Perfect! Thanks, I can't wait to see you" it just came naturally to finish the message like this... the point is that I really can't wait to see him. It's been since I saw him for the first time that I haven't stopped thinking about him. Brooklyn Wyatt what the fuck are you doing to me?

BROOK'S POV
Did Jack Duff ask me out? Did the guy I'm falling in love with said he can't wait to see me? I'm not understanding, stop the game! I seriously have to stop for a moment and think about everything that's going on. Besides, my family doesn't even know I'm gay. I mean, I never said anything, but I think they know something. Andy doesn't know anything about anything instead. I've never told him about it and I can't even imagine his reaction and this scares me. Basically I never said anything to anyone because, even if I was perfectly aware of it, there hadn't been any boy who had become part of my life completely distorting it...but now I think it's time to talk to someone, and that someone is Andy. But first I want to wait to go out with Jack. Anxiety is taking over me hahaha.
