Zane's POV
I don't want to believe him. I don't want this to be real. The worst part of this is that I'm not mad at him.

I'm mad at myself for not being mad at him. I slammed my head further into my pillow, seeing stars behind my closed eyelids.

Am I not good enough?

Why do I care about what people think of me.. No, rephrase that. Why do I care so much about what Travis thinks of me?

I already knew the answer, though I want a different reason. You're scared of being rejected.

I turned over and opened my eyes, staring at the roof of my bedroom. I took in a deep breath.

It's going to be okay Zane.

I breathed out and rolled out of the covers. I swiftly grabbed my sweatshirt and mask, pulling the gray material over my head. I grabbed my car keys and my phone, and had an idea.

I texted Aphmau, who I hope is still up now.

Zane: can I come over to ur place?

Aphmau: of course do you mind that Aaron's here?

I sighed. Of course he's there. But nonetheless, I need someone to talk to, she's really the only one I can turn to right now.

Zane: it's fine be over in a sec

Aphmau: kk

I walked out the door, listening to the rhythm of my feet pounding against the ground. Wearily, I knocked on Aphmau's door, and she was quick to let me in. I walked into the living room, to see Aaron on the couch. He grinned at me, which he doesn't normally do, and I waved back. I thought you hated me... I sat down on the armchair, and Aphmau turned her anime back on and lowered the volume.

"So what brings you over Zane?" She asked, eyes on the screen, watching Haru swimming laps.

"Well..." I went on to explain the situation with Travis. They both nodded.

"Do you want me to be brutally honest or sugarcoat it?" Aaron asked. Aphmau opened her mouth, then proceeded to shoot a glare towards Aaron.

"Just be honest," I groaned.

"W-" Aphmau started, but Aaron cut her off.

"You should dump him, but, since you're so in love with him, take a break from him. If you still love him then go back to him," Aaron replied.

"Thanks... I think I'll do that. I just.. I don't know. My feelings for him haven't changed through out all of this, which worries me," I admitted.

"Don't rush it Zane, I'm sure he'll come around soon enough," Aphmau said, looking at me. "I have an idea... I'll invite a few people over and we can play truth or dare!"  Aaron and I both groaned at the same time. Of course, Aphmau LOVES truth or dare.

"If that's what you want babe," Aaron cooed, and kissed Aphmau's cheek. I proceeded to gag.

"Calm down there, love birds." I spat. Aphmau furrowed her eyebrows, and then started laughing. I smiled a bit, though they probably couldn't see it under my mask.

We continued watching Free! and Aphmau soon fell asleep. Aaron pulled her closer to him. I was a little jealous honestly. That's supposed to be Travis, holding me in his arms. I sighed and continued to watch, until it turned late and Aaron carried Aphmau to bed.

Aaron came back downstairs, though my eyes were still glued to the screen. His footsteps were very loud, each one making me get chills. He sat back down, and I looked back at him. Aaron made eye contact with me, and we just stared at each other for a second.

"Well?" I asked, glaring at him. Aaron was slightly flustered, though I personally am not buying it.

"Come sit with me," he pleaded, "I'm lonely," I shrugged and went over to the couch, and he leaned his head on my shoulder. He wrapped his arm around me, which, is very awkward, but I'm not in the mood to argue.

I heard something outside and looked put the window, to see something with pearly white hair running away.

Oh, Travis.
