DEADLOX'S POV

I was hiding in the hallway near the door to hear the conversation.

"oh hey Jason, is Ty there?" i heard the familiar voice of Adam

"Ummmmmmmmm" said Jason nervously. I came out the front door "What do you want?" I asked

"Ty...whats wrong?"

"It's...My...dad died."

"I'm sorry." Adam hugged me, but he stopped pretty quickly, blushing.

Jason gave him an evil look, while I just stood there, awkwardly. "Thaannkks..." I said, obviously weirded out by them.

(JASON'S POV

Adam hugged Ty. He blushed. That pissed me off.
I was aware that Adam liked Ty... And he was aware that I liked him.
Ty must have noticed me giving Adam an evil look, because he seemed weirded out.

"Hey Adam, could I see you alone for a second?"

"Ummm... Okay..." Adam said, nervously.

I took him outside and closed the door.

"You better keep your fucking hands off of him." I warned Adam.

"I say he's fair game!" Adam yelled back, angrily.

"He's not a toy, Adam! He's a living human being!"

"Yeah, well he never said he liked you, did he?!"

"I don't fucking care, Adam! I got here first!"

"Well now it's my turn!"

"Shut the fuck up, Adam. There's no 'taking turns' with a human being!"

(DEADLOX'S POV

I couldn't hear Jason and Adam out there, but I could have sworn they were fighting.
I had no idea what it was about, but I didn't really want to find out.
After a while, they finally came back in, looked pissed off at each other.

"Y... You guys okay?" I asked them.

"Oh, we're fine..." Jason said. I assumed he won the argument. "I'm watching you." I heard him whisper to Adam.

"Ty? You feeling better?" Adam asked, putting his hand on my shoulder.

"A... A little..." I sniffled.

"You better watch what you're fucking doing." I hear Jason whisper to Adam.

"You guys KNOW I can hear you, right?" I asked

Jason blushed. "Ummm... N- Now I do..."

"Ugh. What were you guys fighting about?" I asked

"N- N... Nothing, Ty! It's... It's not important." Jason quickly said.

"Adam, will you tell me, please?"

"Sorry, Ty, I can't..." Adam responded

I wondered if it had anything to do with me. Somehow, it seemed like it did.

I sighed. I began to tear up again. "No, Ty, stop!" I told myself. I blushed. I just yelled at myself in front of people.

"Ty, it's okay to cry..." Jason said.

"Yeah, Ty... If you need to-" Adam began. Jason punched Adam. "OW!"

I looked at them suspiciously. What could they possibly have been fighting about? It seemed almost as if Jason wasn't letting Adam interact with me. I decided to try something.

"Jason. Let... Let him talk." I said, blushing for no apparent reason. Jason listened to me, I guess he didn't want to anger me or something, I don't really know.

"Thanks, Ty..." Adam began, seemingly embarrassed. "Anyways, as I was saying... If you need to cry, it's fine. I... I can help you through this."

Jason gave him the evil look again. I decided to take action. "Jason, what is your problem?!" I asked, angry. "Is he not aloud to help me?!"

"Well.. It's just..." Jason's face turned bright red. "I... I... I wanted to help you is all."

"Jason. You can both help me. I don't see the big deal here!"

"I fucking told you." Adam whispered to him.

I laid down on my bed. "I just don't understand." I began to cry again... "I... Everyone I care about is dying..."

"You still have me." Jason said. "And.. And Adam." He quickly added, after Adam gave him an evil look.

"I.. I know guys... It's just... My family... Everyone's dying these days... Pretty much every year, someone's dying. Soon enough..." I had to try and get a hold of myself. I couldn't. "Soon enough... I'll have no family left. Then I'll be next."
