*After school*

James POV

Since Thomas would not be here for a while, I ask Aaron to come to my dormitory. He accepted and he warned Alexander that he will return with me.

During the trip, we laugh together and talk about everything and nothing.

When I get back to my dormitory, I take him to my room.

We talk a lot about the past. I start talking about a person I hated...no... I still hate him.

Thomas POV

I returned earlier than expected. I hear noise in James' room. I approach and hear things that hurt me.

"He's an idiot," James says.

"Thomas...an idiot ???" asks Aaron.

"No, you're right...it's a scum!" Says James, laughing. Aaron laughs with him. I feel bad. That's how he sees me ???

"You know, I saw him...." James says, muttering part of his sentence.

"What??? But...that could mean that...." Says Aaron.

"Yes," James says.

"Nooooo !!!" Aaron said.

"I don't like him," Aaron says.

"No, me, I hate him," James says.

Third POV eye

"But you know that before I thought you had feelings for Thomas," Aaron laughs.

"Of course not. Eww! I pretended to be able to handle it, "James says proudly.

Thomas is so shocked that his tears fall.

They laugh and mock Thomas Payne.

Thomas just crying in his room Aaron and James are gone. He heard the door close and silence reign in the room.

Aaron went back to his dormitory.

"Aaron?" Asks Alexander. Aaron looks at him.

"Would you like to go out today?" Asks Alexander. Aaron shakes his head. Alexander sulks.

"I can give you a book to take care of," Says Aaron. Alexander did not want to, but he accepts to please his boyfriend.

Aaron goes to his room.

* Time skip *

Thomas is full of anger. How could James lie to him so long? He nevertheless said reassuring words and helped him. Meanwhile, Thomas thinks only, talked to James. He wants to cry, but no tears fall.

He is sitting in the living room and is anxiously awaiting James' arrival.

"Hi Poppet Tommy," He says with a smile. Thomas gets up. He looks James in the eye.

The door opens. James is here.

Thomas POV

How can he do this to me ???

"Tommy, how are you?" He asks. I clench my teeth and give him a slap.

He continues to pretend with me, it disgusts me.

I see his hand tighten strongly and finally release it. He looks at me.

His eyes are dark and shocked. He is filled with anger.

(He does not have any bangs anymore, I put it just like that.)

He runs and leaves the room, slamming the door.

Third POV eye

James runs and heads to Aaron's dormitory.

Alexander POV

I read the book that Aaron suggested to me. The door opens sharply. I see James with a red cheek that has a little swollen.

He runs to Aaron's room and slams the door.

????

Aaron POV

The door opens sharply, I jump. I see James with a look full of sadness. Tears fall from his eyes. It's been so long since I've seen him crying. It hurts me horribly. He collapses on the ground and cries putting his hands on his face. I approach him and pats his back while taking him in my arms. He keeps sniffing.

Oh! No, it's a crisis.

"James," I say. He tries to calm down, but he does not arrive.

"James!" I say louder. I take his face using both my hands for it. look at me. I take his face with both my hands so that he looks at me.

"Take your breath," I say calmly, even though deep down I panic. He takes a breath, but he begins to cry again. I notice that his cheek is swollen and that I must surely hurt him. I take my hand off his swollen cheek and put it on his back.

"James, start again. Inspire, " I say in a soft voice. He does what I said.

"And expires," I say. It expires with difficulty.

"Once again. Inspire, " I say, curling round him. It does it more easily.

"And expires," I say. He sighs. He sniffs and looks at the floor.

"Tha...Thank you," He says, taking me in his arms. I hold him close to me. I digress.

"What happened?" I ask. He looks at the floor. Tears fall from his eyes.

"Thomas hit me," He says.

"Thomas Payne started again !!!!!" I say furiously. He shakes his head. I look at him confused.

"J...Jeff...Jefferson," He says hard.

"What...what?" I ask. Thomas hit the one he loves. Why did he do that????

"I'll talk to him," I say. He takes me in his arms and shakes his head several times.

"James?" I ask.

"I...I do not want to...go back in (sniffs) my dorm, I want to stay here," He says. I hold him close to me.

"Okay, you can stay, but I have to talk to him," I say. He shakes his head.

"I...I want you to stay with me...me. imagine I'm having another crisis? " He asks. I nod, reluctantly.

"Me...thank you, you're the best friend a person can have," He says.

"James?" I say.

"Mmmh?" He says.

"Do not let him break you," I say. He moves away from my embrace and gets up. I do the same. He wipes his face with his sleeve. He smiles at me.

"Do not worry anymore, no one can break me," He says. I smile at him.

"Aaron?" He asks. I look at him.

"We...can we go to...karaoke?" He asks. I look at him confused.

"So...so you can sing my...my music," He says. I smile at him. When James was not doing very well his grandmother was singing music to him. When his grandmother died I sang this music to him and he quickly calmed it down.

"I...I know that....you must...surely do not want to...."

"James. Yes I will sing it for you, " I says, smiling. His eyes light up.

"Really...really ???" he asks with a smile. I nod.

"James...he hurt you. You're not as sure as before, " I says. He grimaces.

"You know why he..." I stop. He looks at me and shakes his head.

"Let's stop talking about him, I do not want to think about it anymore," He says, crossing his arms. I nod. I take his hand and take him to the bathroom. He sits on the tub. I take a cream that I put on the palm of my hand. I rub my hands on each other before putting it on his cheek gently. He's breathing in pain. Thomas hurt my best friend, I do not know how I could forgive him.

"It's going to sting you a bit," I say.

I put a plaster on him. After finishing he smiles at me.

"Thanks, Ronnie," I say.

"You're welcome. Come on, let's go, " I say.

We come out of the bathroom.

"Do you want me to take your medicine?" I ask. He looks at me and hesitates a lot before answering.

"But you'll meet Thomas," He says.

"Do not worry, I will not talk to him," I say. He smiles at me.

"Thank you," He says.

"Alex, I'm leaving with James, I'm coming soon," I says, closing the door behind me.

The times James and Aaron went out, was to go to a karaoke where no one goes. On the one hand they did not really lie to their boyfriend when they said they were singing.
