Tries.

Bryce couldn't believe what he was told last night. It shocked him to the point to where he is left sitting on the couch staring at the tv blankly. Time had passed and every time his boyfriend came in to say something he completely ignored him.

"I hope this doesn't ruin our friendship Bryce. I really enjoy speaking to you.."

Ryan's words repeated like a broken record that seemed to never shut up even if you broke it. He was trying so hard to keep his cool about this situation but how could he when the man finally confronted him about knowing him. The blonde couldn't get over the fact that he himself didn't feel mad or upset with the guy he just felt shocked that someone he talked too about the most private things knew him in person.

In fact it made it awkward for him because he never once thought he'd meet the person. That's kinda why he spoke to  him about his problems.

The sound of his phone going off caught his attention and he looked down at the glowing screen to see Brock's name flash. He let his fingertips brush against the phone before picking it up and sliding open the screen.

Moo: Hey you should come over because I need to talk to you.

Bryce blinked as he eyed the message he had received from his friend. His blue eyes looked up to lock with Jonathan's who was peering down at him with a raised brow. "Did you hear me?" His boyfriends question made him shake his head and the blue eyed male sighed deeply as he sat next to him on the couch. "Babe, I love you." He began, taking Bryce's hands. "I want you to know that things are going to change..I realized something the other day. I realized how lucky I was to have you because Bryce you have helped me through ruff times and I returned it by coming home drunk. I blew you off so many times but yet you still stay." He stayed silent. "I love you Bryce McQuaid. Never forget that."

Bryce went limped as his boyfriend pulled him into a hug, his eyes blank as he slowly hugged him back. His heart seemed to twist into a knot as a strike of pain flashed. Taking a deep breath he hugged his boyfriend tighter.

Bryce: I'll be there.

•Brock's Place..

Brock sat a cup of coffee in front of his friend before taking a seat across from. The male removed his glasses as sat them on book as he watched the blonde sip the liquid. His eyes narrowing. "I know about Ryan."

Bryce nearly choked on his coffee. "What?"

Brock rolled his eyes. "I used to work with him. You know Brian is the boss to  the job Ryan has?? And I stopped working for him cause we couldn't stand each other at the job. Mostly because he thought I was flirting but.." He paused before continuing. "I know him real well. In fact he told me about you. I was the one who told him where he could find you--and let me tell you something Bryce, he went out of his way just to meet you."

The blonde blinked in confusion. "What? You were who he was talking about?!" His friend gave a slight nod as he took a sip of his coffee. "I was indeed." Now Bryce was really shocked. They had the same friends but never once had they met. Bryce just sat there in a daze.

"So on another note," Brock began. "How are you and Jon?"

"Well the craziest thing happened Brock.." He whispered as he took the cup in his hands and held it. The blondes blue eyes gazed into the cup that was half way filled with liquid. "He told me things would change--and I know it's crazy because he's said it before but there's just something about the way he said it. I think he meant it."

"Hmm..." Brock hummed as he sat in silence trying to think. "And you believe him this time?"

Bryce hesitated for a moment as he shifted in his seat. Deep down part of him wanted to believe it but he knew the other half was putting it off and believing he was telling a lie. It killed him to even think that but what else was he to do?

"You don't even know." Brock shook his head at his friend. "If Jon does change then it'll be a surprise but Bryce are you sure you want to spend the rest of your life with him?"

That was something he didn't know the answer too. He wanted too but yet living in the lies his boyfriend had told him for years has slowly began to ate at his big heart. Not only that but the lash outs he had whenever he got mad made him second guess their relationship.

No, he didn't want to spend forever with this man but it didn't matter what he wanted. Jon wouldn't let him leave and neither would his heart that ached at the thought of leaving him. He was going to spend the rest of his life with someone who had done him wrong many times and that was a face.

Taking a deep breath he looked up at his friend and they locked eyes. "Yes." He whispered breathlessly. "I want to spend the rest of my life with this man."
