When Max and Bobby had left, I waved them goodbye before closing the door. To which I quickly turned to Tank " holy shit..." I whispered with a smile as he looked saddened. This confused me of course. " what's the matter Tank?" I asked him as he sighed putting his head in his hands as he sat on the couch " I think he was just joking about the whole kiss me thing. He didn't even kiss back Bradley. I think I fucked everything up..." he said softly. "Oh Tank...." I'm not the best when it comes to comforting. I'm not really good at it at all but I always try my best " don't think so negatively. Maybe he didn't even realize" I mentioned "yeah Bradley, maybe he didn't realize my urgency to kiss him when I was given the chance dude... maybe he knew all along that I liked him and that's why he was acting dumb..." he said putting himself down even further. I felt like I was put in a awkward position because I didn't really know what to say. " hey cheer up big guy... there's um... plenty of other fish on the sea?!" I mentioned gently patting his back. " Bradley you aren't helping.." he sighed whilst rubbing his temples " I know but I also feel really bad if I leave such a dear companion of mine" I added on. "Thanks sweet heart..." he said softly as I nodded "anytime... you know what would cheer you up? Ice cream and our classic shameless marathon!" I offered as he sat quietly "I'll go get the ice cream..." I mentioned. I walked to the kitchen and attempted to grab ice cream before I soon realized. "Oh umm....Tank!!" I called " I was waiting for the call, I knew you couldn't do shit with that arm" he chuckled and walked in to help me.

"So what's really going on? With you and your arm?" He asked me as I chuckled nervously " I told you, I bumped into a wall really hard" I mentioned as he rolled his eyes "you told Bobby that, you told me it was skate boarding accident. What's really going on?" He asked. I went quiet for a moment before sighing and admitting what really happened "my dad and I got into another argument... he is trying to find me a new wife and when we argued he tried to hit me. I threatened him with my knife and his butler dislocated my shoulder..." I said softly "same butler that's like totally into your dad and tried to strangle you to death when you were little?" He asked me as I shrugged and nodded "yeah pretty much" I replied, Tank scoffed annoyed "you know, every time you walk back into that house you get a new injury. Im not fucking comfortable with that, that's messed up" he said as I sighed "yeah well.... What are you gonna do?" I asked as I watched Tank scoop the ice cream and put it into two separate bowls and then decorate the ice cream with fudge, sprinkles, whip cream and a Cherry on top. "Woah... this looks good. Outstanding job Tank, yet again" I complimented as he snickered " awww shucks, thanks sweet heart" he smiled.

I grabbed my bowl and went to walk to the living room until I noticed a pair of eyes on me. I turned and looked at Tank noticing he was staring directly at me "Tank? Big guy? You okay?" I asked as he broke out of his little zoning our expression "huh? Oh yeah I'm fine, just staring at your ass. It got bigger" he said which concerned me "what? Tank... what's wrong with you?" I asked as he cocked a brow "what do you mean? I always flirt with you" he mentioned " yeah you do, but there wasn't any enthusiasm in it this time ?... does my ass not look good?" I pouted making a joke obviously to get him to laugh. He didn't which sucked because I embarrassed myself for no reason. I sighed and set my plate down on the coffee table. I came back and grabbed Tanks hand and walked him back to the couch's as he held his ice cream. When he set it down I looked at him " Talk to me buddy. You know you can trust me" I smiled softly.

That's when he broke out into a full on sob "Brad man I ruined everything! This is the third time I ever really liked someone and I blew it in a instant!" He cried. My eyes softened "oh Tank..." I opened one arm to offer a hug but the guy literally tackled me and squeezed me so tightly I could barely breathe. I didn't say anything though. I just patted his back as he sobbed. Despite feeling very uncomfortable I let him do whatever. He needed me right now and I was going to be there for him when needed of course. That's what friends do and I owe Tank the world practically. After what I did to him in the past and now he's still helping me? And not only that but he forgave me? I don't deserve someone like Tank...

What shocks me is that Tank is such an amazing guy. Despite the boys and girls he's hooked up with, he's never had a lover. This made me absolutely shocked, he has such a sweet personality and he's built like an actual Tank. If Theodore over here wasn't built like a Tank, we wouldn't have given him that nickname. Instead it would be his nick name from back home. Teddy. Like a teddy bear. Because he's sweet, cuddly and loyal. Not to mention he is a great listener and he's splendid with giving advice.

"Okay big guy... you let it out of your system?" I asked struggling to breathe with how tightly he squeezed me in that hug. He sniffled and nodded before letting go "yeah..." he said softly as he sat up and ate his ice cream. We put on our show and ate before knocking out on the coach with the TV screen still blaring.

The next morning we both were getting ready for the day and when Tank was ready he just watched me get ready since I tend to take a little longer. "You okay?" I asked him as he nodded " I'm just scared that things are gonna turn awkward today" he said softly "just forget about the whole situation and pretend like it never happened maybe?" I asked as he stayed silent "Tank?" I called for him again "how am I gonna forget what happened? It was so embarrassing man..." he said while bumping his head against my desk "oooooh... don't do that please" I informed as he sat up straight "sorry..."

When we walked off to our first period this morning we met up with Max and Bobby accidentally. They smiled and greeted us as we did the same back. Max ran over and kissed my cheek which made me happy but of course I can't let him think I've gone soft for him "you're so gross" " you know you love it" he responded as I snickered. Tank and Bobby chuckled softly. We walked in front of Tank and Bobby but their voices caught our attention when we heard Bobby ask Tank a random question.

"Tank can I talk to you after class?"....
