Tyler

Ethan texted me after he was about to land. I got in my car to drive to the airport. The airport wasn't to far and it only took about half an hour to get to.

Once I got there I had to find Ethan. I went into the small crowd of people. It didn't take a while to find him. I gesture him to come with me and he smiles sadly and follows. I take his suitcase and put it in the trunk. He sits in the passengers seat while I sit in the driver's.

I kinda knew it was inappropriate to ask if he had a good time. So I look at him. I search for something to say. But I don't know what... So I just pull out and start heading back. One thing I don't know is what exactly happened... And I just don't know what could have went down.

I know Ethan didn't want me to talk to Mark about it and I know why... Maybe I'll tell him Ethans gone unless he wants Mark to know he's here.

But I don't know exactly what to do...

The moment we got home I got a text. It was Mark.

'M: how was your flight?'

'T: not bad I guess?'

'M: better than usual then, I'll take it.'

'T: lol yeah.'

I look at Ethan closer and see something that surprised me... He had a bruise on his face...

But his bruise wasn't the only thing I noticed... His eyes were red and puffy and he just seemed dull... Whatever happened wasn't good...

This wasn't him getting upset easily... This was a real argument... His mom must've hit him or something...

Ethan

I notice Tyler staring at me... I know he saw something on my face... Did she really hit me that hard? I don't know...

I sigh and get out of the car. I opened the trunk grabbing my suitcase. I go inside and take it to my bedroom. I dig around in it and realized... Something fell out... And I knew what it was...

My razor was nowhere in sight and now I had been getting so many texts... And I know who they were from...

'A: Ethan, I'm getting worried about you...'

'A: you left a razor here... You know that you can talk to me right?'

'A: Ethan did you hurt yourself?!'

'A: did you try anything?!'

'A: Ethan, please don't hurt yourself, I'm your brother and I don't want anything to happen to you...'

I sigh and type up a response...

'E: I'm fine Andrew. Everything became to much so I left. Unless you were as heavy of a sleeper as you were when we were little I'm sure you know what happened this morning, so please don't worry... And did you tell mom or dad about that?'

'A: I heard what happened this morning... No I didn't tell them I found it... I know what mom will say...'

'E: does she hate me right now...?'

'A: acting like nothing happened more like. If dad tries to say anything she'll change the subject.'

'E: oh... Well you can let her believe that... Not like I'm coming back anytime soon...'

'A: Ethan you'll have to come back someday.'

'E: not with her around.'

'A: yeah yeah, you guys seriously have to make up. This is ridiculous.'

'E: so me not wanting to talk to my mom who purposely hurt me physically and mentally is ridiculous.'

'A: at the end of the day she's still your mom...'

'E: well it's not like she's a caring mom.'

I put my phone down and lay down... I sigh and look at nothing and go into my thoughts...

Why me...

Suddenly the door opens... Tyler comes in he puts his phone down and sits on the foot of the bed. He looks at me...

"What exactly happened...?" He asks.

suddenly my anxiety comes back and I can't talk... My mouth opens then closes.

I grab my notebook and sit up on my bed writing this...

'well... I talk to my family sometimes... Not a lot but a little... So once I started talking my mom said I was doing well with my talking... But my dad said they were the only people I talk to. Which was true... My mom says I'm not trying and I try to explain it isn't easy...

She said it should be extremely easy and that I should go to therapy... Not that I didn't appreciate her offer it was how she said it... So I tell her she said enough and that I wasn't a freak... Because how she said it that's what it seemed like she meant...

I left the room...

After a while that's when I text you... I go to bed after responding to you and the next morning was the worst.

We argued again but this time... She hit me... After that she pushed me out the door... So I left...'

Tyler finishes reading it and looks at me...

"Ethan... What she said to you she'll regret... You are trying. You aren't a freak. You are my best friend and I wouldn't imagine being here without you... I know you may not see yourself in the I see you... But I care about you and I know you won't let this go... But please don't dwell on this. You and get will someday make up and that's what you need to do." Tyler says...

I sigh and look at Tyler... Was he right? Do I need to make up with her?

But what she said to me was horrible... And what she did was horrible...

But what if something happens and I can't talk to her...

And everything pours out of me all at once... I'm suddenly sobbing into Tyler's shoulder while he's rubbing my back... His hand going into circles around my back... I wrap my arms around his neck and just cry...

"Ethan... It'll be okay..." Tyler says calmly to me.

I shake my head and cry harder.

(Why is my love for sad gay things comming out in an X reader)

Tyler

Ethan just exploded. In a matter of seconds everything he's been holding in pours out. He starts crying. He latches onto me. I pull him into a tight embrace. Now he starts crying into my shoulder. I could hear his hiccups and sobs by my ear...

"Ethan... It'll be okay..." I say trying to comfort him.

He was shaking his head... He's suddenly crying harder...

I rub his back slowly. He calms down a bit... His breathing slows and in a minute he's fast asleep. I set him onto his bed and cover him up before leaving. I go to my bedroom and fall asleep in a matter of minutes.
