The silence between them grew heavy.
He kept his head down, his eyes glued to the twigs by his feet. "I was in love with you, back then. I probably still am, in all honesty."
Phoenix kept his eyes on their old treehouse and said, "I know."
Ralph's eyes shot up to look at the man next to him, "Y-what?! You knew this whole time?" He shook his head in disbelief, "I don't get it. Why don't you hate me?"
Phoenix turned his head, his brown eyes connected with Ralph's in an earnest stare. "Honestly? I could never hate you. You were the only person I've ever considered a friend."

"I'm going to kill him when I get my hands on him." I stood up sharply and scanned the dining room for Tom, he caught my eye almost instantly, I felt my expression harden. "You lying fuck!" I shouted from across the table as I approached him quickly, my hand connected crisply with the side of his face as the slap, clapped loudly in the room. There was that silence again, I thought, but this time I didn't care. "You told them I had sex with you?" I could hear the incredulity in my voice. "Hey baby, you rocked my world I didn't know I had to keep it a secret." The unctuous tone of his answer infuriated me and I launched at him, ready to rip his deceitful head off.

Twisted
"I think I'm gay." I say, leaving out the part about my... exposing dream about him last night. I watched his expression, waiting for some sign that he was angry. I waited for him to call me a faggot, to curse me off and tell me he never wanted to see me again. Instead, I was greeted with his perfect toothy smile. "That's great man, I'm of proud you." He says, patting my arm as he stuffed another cracker in his mouth. "It takes some real balls to come out to someone." He says, his beautiful green eyes blazing into mine. I felt myself become flustered at his gaze. "Uh, Yeah, Thanks." I stumbled out, "You're not mad?" I ask. His expression turns to hurt as he crinkles his eyebrows. "Why the hell would I be mad?" He asks, hesitating on the crackers and pushing them away. "I just thought-it's just- well... you just always seem so pissed when someone mentions the word gay." I spit out words, scared for his reaction. He sighs, "That doesn't fucking mean I hate gays. Normally when I do that it's because someone's using the word 'gay' to hate on them, it just pisses me off, you know?" He asks, bringing the crackers back into his lap and biting into them. "Plus-" He adds on, "You're my best friend, if anything, you being gay is a blessing. I'll always support you." He says, glancing at me through the side of his eyes. I look away, towards the door to hide the crimson blush that I feel spread over my face. "Thanks." I all but squeak out. And that's the day I realized, I have a faint crush on my best friend. <><><><><< THIS BOOK IS BEING *MAJORLY* EDITED.
