After our little make out session, we both lay down on the bed and I slowly drifted off to sleep only to be woken up by the sound of an argument.

"What the hell is your problem?" I heard John screaming from down the stairs.

"Look man, I'm only trying to protect her," Drake said loudly.

"From what?!?!" John said annoyed.

"You!" Drake exclaimed.

"Well then I guess you're just wasting your time because you and I both know that she's safe with me. She has always been!" John said.

"That's what you think!" Drake said. "Do you know how many fuckin' nights she's been wasting her tears on a guy like you? Someone who wasn't worth every single drop of tear?" Drake screamed. They were practically having an informal debate only with both parties screaming their lungs out. I went out of the room just to see the two of them battle it out. I didn't want to stop them because I was scared. Well I guess not only scared but terrified too.

"Me? Worthless? I think you're talking about yourself! You've been nothing but a friggin' wall between us blocking us from reaching each other and making her happy! You've done nothing but block her happiness! You don't even deserve a girl like her because the only one she deserves is me!" John said.

"Do you even understand half the words that are coming out from your mouth? You're the wall dude! You're the worthless wall who uses her for your pleasure!" Drake shouted.

"We've NEVER had sex!" John screamed back and that's what made Drake shut his mouth.

"What?" he seemed surprised.

"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me? I said we never had SEX!" John repeated with more anger in his expression. He shamefully admitted to Drake and left Drake speechless. I guess John must've won this battle then.

"So you're saying-"

"You know exactly what I meant," John said cutting him off.

"But I thought-"

"Well you thought wrong," John said cutting him off yet again.

They were both silent for a little while and I guess that was my cue to come down so I got up from where I sat and started going down the stairs. John heard me as I stomped my way down and wrapped his arms around me. I looked at Drake from behind John and so how astounded and shocked his face looked. He couldn't swallow everything just yet. Knowing Drake, it would probably take a week to process all this.

After John held me in his arms, Drake excused himself and left the house leaving me and John alone.

"Heard everything?" John asked as soon as Drake left.

"I think," I said unsure if it really was the whole thing or not.

"Where did you start?" he asked as we both sat on the couch.

"When you said what the hell is your problem I guess," I said remembering everything clearly.

"That was long after the start," he said.

"I don't think I want to hear any more." I said rubbing my eyes as I yawned.

"Still sleepy?" he asked.

"Not really," I said

"Wanna go out? It's a bright, sunny day out there," John said with a smile on his face.

"Let me put on my shoes first," I said grabbing the first pair I could find. Once I found them, I got my keys and my phone and placed them in my pocket. As soon as we were both ready, we went out.

It only occurred to me now that the night swung by real fast and that it was Sunday already. It really was bright and sunny.

John and I walked on a familiar path leading to only one place I knew and that was the deserted little forest that didn't really have a lot of tree in it but it did have a lot of leaves on the floor. John and I used to sit by the river and just watch as it flows in to a bigger body of water.

When we got to our little place, we sat at the usual spot and I leaned on his shoulder as we watched the river flow.

"I love you," John whispered to my ear.

"I love you too," I said wrapping my arms around him and never wanting to let go.
