Connor's POV

I was in my room when my sister walked into it. Zoe was smiling. "Zoe? What brings you to the den?" My sister ignored my comment. Her blue eyes were sparkling for once, in my presence.

"Evan finished that song he was making with me, do you wanna hear it?" I could hear the smirk forming on her face. I looked confused.

"Sure, why not?" I said and Zoe grinned, slyly, causing me to look at her with confusion. She got out her phone and pressed play on the song, now titled For Forever.

"End of May or early June, this picture perfect afternoon we share," Evan's voice came on. I closed my eyes and smiled, letting his voice wash over me. Evan was a good singer, a cute singer... "Drive the winding country road, grab a scoop at A La Mode, and then we're there."

Zoe suddenly stopped the song, a look of accomplishment on her face. "Aha!" She commented. "I knew it!" I blinked, clearly confused.

"Um, I'm not following-" I attempted but Zoe cut me off.

"You like him, don't you? You have a crush! I knew it!" I wanted to deny it but the fact I felt my cheeks just about to be seared off was a dead giveaway. "Aw Connie! Why didn't you tell me?"

"Uh.." I tried. "I think you've been hanging out with Christine too long." So the secret's out, I guess, I do, in fact, embarrassingly, like Evan. Tada?

"But enough about that, Evan was coming over with Jared, want to be their third member?"

"Again, I'm not really following Zoe." Zoe slapped her hands together and took a deep breath, clearly annoyed at my ignorance. How could I know this stuff? I'm not a music wiz, I mean, I can sing, dance, act but that doesn't mean I know all the technical.

"We're making a new song, do you want to be a part of it? Evan~'s a part of it." I disliked the tone on the 'Evan'.

"I have nothing better to do anyways." I thought my answer was quite fine. Zoe looked at me.

"You'll have fun, I promise!" She winked at me and I felt myself blush again.

"Yeah, whatever." Zoe then leapt off my bed. I got off my bed the normal way and followed her, discreetly trying not to run. She opened the door and in waltzed The Insanely Cool Jared Kleinman, self-dubbed, like he owned the place. Next, in walked Evan. I tried not to stare as they greeted Zoe.

"Hey, you guys have a third member joining you today," said Zoe. I suddenly felt like disappearing into the shadows.

"Really? Who?" Evan asked before his eyes landed on me. It was probably a trick of the light, but I could swear Evan blushed. "O-oh..."

"It's my brother," Zoe explained, while I shuffled in the corner. Jared perked up.

"Connor f**king Murphy?" He asked.

"Yes, Jared, my brother," she said. "Now, lets go upstairs, shall we?" She led the pack of older boys up the stairs. When we got to her room Zoe turned around to face us. "Okay, so, Connor's character, that is, the parts he'll be singing, is first. This song is written by me and Evan." She gave me a lyric sheet:

We've been way too out of touch,
Things have been crazy and it sucks that we don't talk that much!

"Huh. Hey Evan, you could really be writing a whole musical here," I said absent-mindedly, reading through the lyric sheet. "But I should tell you that I think of you each night, I rub my- Woah! Jared, did you write this lyric?" I looked over at him but he didn't seem to have heard me.

"Connor," my sister's voice snapped me back. "Can you sing us some of your lines please."

"Sure," I ran a hand through my hair, and I heard someone gasp. I looked at my lyric sheet. "I gotta tell ya life without ya has been hard-"

"Hard?" Jared piped up as it was instructed for him to do so.

"Has been bad-"

"Bad?"

"Has been rough!"

"Kinky!" I held back a laugh.

"Okay, that was nice," said Zoe. "Let's go to Evan and Connor's duet part."

"Duet?" Evan and I said unison. Zoe nodded and we skipped.

"Our friendship goes beyond, your average kind of bond-"

"But not because we're gay!" Evan tripped and I moved to catch him. He ended up sit-lying on my stomach, how he got there I don't know. I was so flustered, I almost missed my line.

"No, not... because we're gay..." The rest of recording session went off without a hitch, but I was still flustered. F**k, I must have it bad or something.

Jared and Evan had left already and I was sitting in my room gazing at my ceiling.

It would probably be best to confess to Evan to avoid future embarrassment, but would he reject me?

Hey, Author here! I'm like, running out of ideas, please help.
