He's been off since theater. Not saying much.
"Seb, what's wrong?" I ask gently.
"There's something I think I need to tell you," he answers meekly.
I stop scrubbing the rose case with Windex and go to the edge of the stage. We sit together, our feet dangling off the edge.
"I-I need to tell you about a lot of things," he starts.
"Okay, I'm listening," I reply. Why am I so scared?
When Carlos has a problem, he goes to Seb and Seb takes comfort in fixing them. Carlos trusts Seb... but for some reason he feels as if it isn't the same the other way around.
Seb's been keeping secrets, and Carlos needs to find out what they are. He thinks the secrets are hurting Seb, not just mentally, but physically, too. Seb is brave and will probably refuse
"Seb, honey, you can't just brush off stuff like this," Carlos corrects me. He sits by me. "You can't just let people hurt you all the time and then go forgive them like it's nothing!"
"And why not?" I ask calmly.
"B-because-" Carlos stutters. He looks away. "Because then..."
"Seb's a good person. The best out of all of us," Big Red comments.
I blush. "I don't know. I just always try my best to do the right thing."
But at that moment, a thought hits me like a rock to the head.
Keeping secrets from Carlos isn't the right thing.
I need to tell him the truth.
Soon.
Seb's been getting bullied, and is having a hard home life. He wants to look brave, but he knows he really needs Carlos.
After one painful event at school, Carlos snaps.

Like a deer in head lights, I freeze and watch as the car comes towards me expecting to get hit.
But to my surprise, the car swerves to the side slightly next to me and comes to a stop.
I take a deep breath I didn't know I was holding at the driver's side door swings open and a very pissed off Axel steps out.
"Thank god," I mumble and place my hands on my knees to catch my breath.
"Blaze?" He says and I hate it. I hate how he says my name as if it's his. Like he knows it's the only thing I want to hear, him calling out to me, looking at me, focused to me. It's the first time in my life I wanted someone's attention so badly I didn't care how I got it.
And that was too dangerous for me to hold onto.
"Are you insane or some shit? I could have killed you!" He says and starts to walk towards me.
I take a big breath and step back away from him, "s-stop! Axel," I stutter still panting.
It's then he notices the blood on my hands and shirt.
"Is that blood?" He asks staring at my shirt and I take another step back.
"Stop, stay b-back," I try to say confidently but I can't even breath right.
Realizing he won't listen I start to turn around planning to make a break for it.
"Don't run from me Blaze it won't go well," he growls reading my thoughts causing me to freeze in my spot.
"Do not ever think you can get away from me."
