Tobias cried silently to himself as he lay in the sparsely covered cot in his uncle's attic, unable to keep the tears inside of him any longer. His hand trailed up to his chest on it's own accord, gripping at the area in pain.
Marco had broken up with him that afternoon, when they had been walking through the park. They had been walking side by side without touching because they wanted to keep their relationship a secret, but now that Tobias looked back on it, maybe that hadn't been the reason that time.
Tobias still wasn't entirely sure for the reason for the break up, Marco hadn't really given a reason, and instead he had looked extremely uncomfortable and sidestepped the subject. Tobias had gotten the feeling that Marco had just gotten tired of everybody, the homophobic, his friends and anyone else they might have run into.
Everyone had opinions and it seemed that some of the most biased were on interracial and homosexuals. Marco had never seemed happy with how the world treated gays, it was the main reason they had kept the whole thing a secret.
The thought hurt Tobias deeply because it made it apparent that Marco hadn't loved him. Tobias loved, and still continued to love Marco and was completely willing to go to hell and back for him. Marco didn't have that same concern for him, he wasn't even willing to standup to some people.
Tobias sat up on his bed, forcing his hand from his chest and with a shaky sigh and wiped the tears from his cheeks. He had to get on with life, it's what he had been doing for years, just carrying on.
Tobias had never really had anyone to depend on or lean on before Marco, and he could surely survive after Marco. This time around Tobias would be smart enough to keep from letting anyone close, or into his heart ever again.
