Sorry I haven't updated in this story for over a week! I just couldn't bring myself to write it for some reason and then my parents started cutting down on my Internet use and other crazy stuff. But anyway, here's a new chapter. I kind of hate it but whatever.


Chapter 3

Anthony's POV

Why is he refusing to tell me? I've never seen him like this before! I know he's upset but he's not treating me like how a good boyfriend should. If I was in his position I would be pouring my heart out to him. Okay that just sounds really dumb. But I just can't deal with the thought of Ian hiding stuff from me. Especially if it's bothering him this much.

Anthony was lying on his back on the bed that he shared with Ian. He always came here to think when he was alone. He would never admit it out loud but he loved breathing in Ian's familiar scent whenever he laid down on it. It helped to calm him down.

Ian, I love you but I can't help you unless you're open with me! Anthony groaned in frustration as he tried to figure out what to do. Then he remembered what Kristin had said about calling her and decided he would. He sat up and reached for his phone on the bedside table. The phone rang twice before she picked up.

Kristin: Hello?

Anthony: Hey Kristin, it's Anthony. You know, from earlier.

Kristin: Oh hi Anthony! I didn't expect you to call me this soon.

Anthony: Yeah it's just that I could really use someone to talk to right now.

Kristin: Well…I'm not working at the moment. Do you want to meet up or something?

Anthony: Right now?

Kristin: If that's okay with you.

Anthony: Yeah that sounds perfect. Do you want to meet in the park?

Kristin: The one really close to the pizza place?

Anthony: That's the one. Ian and I used to go there all the time!

Kristin: Sounds like a plan. See you in a bit.

Anthony: See ya!

As soon as he hung up the phone he rushed to fix his hair and put on a jacket. He was just about to open the front door when Ian appeared behind him.

"Where are you going?" Ian asked. "You're not mad at me are you?"

"It's not that," Anthony sighed. "I've just gotta do something but I'll be back soon."

"Who were you on the phone to?" Ian asked suspiciously. "I swear I heard you talking to someone."

"Ian don't worry about it, seriously," Anthony said as he brushed his lips against Ian's cheek. "You just get some rest and I'll see you later."
"Anthony it's only 4 o'clock. Why would I need to get some rest at this time of day?" Ian asked him. He was so confused.

"Just do it," Anthony repeated himself. "Today has been stressful and I want you to feel better."

"Okay," Ian said, still unsure about what Anthony meant exactly. But he couldn't help smiling slightly; Anthony really did act like a protective mother sometimes. He moved in to give Ian a quick hug before opening the door.

"I'll see you later," Anthony said as he closed the door without a backwards glance.

The park was so close by that he didn't even have to drive there. And he liked walking, he just didn't do it often enough. The fresh air was definitely welcome after all the hours he usually spent cooped up inside editing a video or something. Once he got to the park, he sat at the top of the yellow slide and waited for Kristin.

Ian's POV

As soon as Anthony shut the door, Ian's smile faded. Even though Anthony said he'd be back soon, he just felt so alone. It's your own fault Ian! You pushed him away. You wanted him to leave you alone and now you've got it.

"WHY DO I SCREW EVERYTHING UP?!" he yelled as he lashed out at the wall. He was so angry with himself that he barely even felt the throbbing in his knuckles. He couldn't do anything right. The fans clearly didn't like him- the various Tumblr posts had made that very clear. And he didn't quite believe Anthony when he had said he wasn't mad. After all, he had kissed Ian's cheek so lightly it was as if he hadn't even done it at all. He was usually more intimate than that. And his hug had been so quick it was as if Anthony was eager to get away from him. He paced the room back and forth as he tried to sort out his thoughts.

I can't stay in this house any longer. I need to go outside and think. He opened the door and started walking to his favourite thinking spot.

Anthony's POV

"Hey Anthony," he heard a voice from below. He looked down to see Kristin smiling up at him.

"Oh hey Kristin. One second," he said as he slid down the slide.

"Have you been waiting long?" she asked him.

"No I only just got here," he replied. "Do you wanna sit on that bench over there?"

"Sure, why not?" she responded.

They walked over to the bench and sat down and Anthony took a deep breath before he started talking.

"Thanks for agreeing to come here. It means a lot considering we barely know each other," he began. "It's just that I'm worried about Ian."

"Ian's the guy you do your vlogs with right?" she asked.

"Yep," Anthony confirmed. "Yesterday he was fine. You know, laughing and being his general goofy self. But then when I walked into the room today and he was on his laptop he looked really upset, like he was about to cry or something. He slammed it shut before I could see but I know it was something to do with what he saw on there."

"What do you think it could be?" Kristin asked.

"I have no idea!" Anthony groaned in frustration. "We usually tell each other everything and now he won't even talk to me about it!"

"Maybe you should just give him some time before making him talk about it," Kristin suggested.

"That's easier said than done. I care about him a lot and I don't like seeing him upset about something when I can't even help him!" Anthony was starting to choke up so he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. "It's just stressing me out, okay?"

"Hey, it gonna be okay," she put her arm around Anthony to comfort him. Anthony just sighed as he rested his head on her shoulder.

"I really hope so," he replied miserably.

Ian's POV

I'm so messed up right now! Ian was walking with his hands shoved in his pockets and his head down. He hated feeling like this, but he couldn't get rid of it. Why do I find the park so calming? I guess it's because me and Anthony have lots of good memories here. As he approached the bench in the middle of the park, his eyes widened as he recognised the man sitting there, snuggling up with a random girl.

"ANTHONY, YOU BASTARD!" Ian yelled in disbelief. Anthony looked up from Kristin's shoulder in shock.

"Ian! What are you doing here?" Anthony asked.

"I trusted you!" Ian cried as he took in what was going on. "You said you were going out but I didn't think you'd be cheating on me!"

"What? Ian it's not what it looks like!" Anthony said in defence.

"Yeah he's just a friend," Kristin said as she realised what was going on. She hadn't known Ian and Anthony were together up until this point.

"Bitch be quiet!" Ian yelled. He was past reasoning right now. "Just leave me alone! You two are perfect for each other anyway."

"Ian just wait!" Anthony said as he grabbed Ian's wrist to pull him back. "Just let me explain, please!"

"I don't want to hear it!" Ian cried as he yanked his arm back and started running back home.

I knew it. Even Anthony can't love me and I don't blame him.

I don't even know what I was thinking when I wrote this but hopefully you'll like it anyway :) And btw when Anthony was sitting on the slide, just look at the picture he has for his twitter and facebook header. That's the image I was thinking of.
