Adams Pov:

I walked in early hoping to get some time with Raven before class started. I walked towards her locker and saw her talking with Emmett. I didn't want to interrupt so I started to walk away when I heard him saying my name. I turned around and couldn't help but listen in on their conversation. I really wanted to know how she felt about me and whether or not I should tell her my secret so I hid behind the corner of the wall.

"so did you do it" I heard Emmett ask. "not yet" raven said as she put books in her locker. "when do you plan on doing it" he replied "soon" "you better do it" he said voice hardening" I said I would" I could hear the anger rising in her voice. I didn't quiet like the way he was talking to her. As I was just about to step in his next sentence surprised me.

" look I'm just worried about you" "well don't be I'm not that scared little girl I was when I found out, if I say I'll handle it then I will" "ok I trust you so are you going to tell him about it" "it's not his problem, besides I don't want him on my conscience" Am I the person they were referring to and if so why wouldn't she tell me. I would never do anything to hurt her or make her feel uncomfortable. I know how it feels to have a secret your too afraid to tell.

"you know he's going to find out eventually" He said "she just looked at the ground "I know but if he finds out he wont look at me the same way. I leaned back against the wall shocked. I couldn't believe she thought that her secret would change the way I felt about her. Whatever this big secret was I didn't like it. I turned around and walked away.

I was the first on in the classroom and happy to be alone but it didnt last long."Trouble I paradise" Raven asked walking into the classroom. I just looked at the ground. She set her books down on the desk behind me and walked over to me sitting on the top of my desk. "ok what's wrong" she asked looking concerned. I made me happy to know that she cared but I didn't want her to worry about me or know I had heard their conversation. "nothing I'm fine just a little tired" I lied. She healed my gaze for quiet some time before saying "oh well then you should get some rest" "ya I know. She slid off my desk and took her seat just as the room started to fill with students.

I had a hard time concentrating. All I could think about was that Raven didn't trust me with her secret and thought that I would judge her because of it. Then again isn't that that reason I haven't told her my secret. I want to I'm just scared she might vanish from my life and I couldn't bare to have that happen not again. But I needed to be honest with her if this is going to work. She needs to know if theirs ever going to be any future for us. I just hope she won't completely erase me from her life. And who knows, maybe she will understand and trust me enough to tell me her secret. Maybe this is the beginning of something new. When the bell rang Raven and I agreed to meet for lunch and I headed to my locker to swap my books for the next class.

Ravens Pov:

I felt bad not telling Adam the truth about me but I didn't want to worry him. I've always hated people worrying about me. It made me fell weak it still does but he deserves to know. Emmets right, its better for him to find out from me then hearing it from someone else. If I ever want to earn his trust I'm going to have to tell him. I just hope he won't freak the way my parents did.

I walked to my locker to grab my lunch when I saw Raven waiting for me. I walked over to her and looked at her concerned waiting for her to move, talk, do anything besides just stand their staring at the ground. She was without movement as if she were unaware of my presence then she finally spoke up.

"hey can we talk" she asked lifting her head and looking at me. Her face was emotionless and that worried me. "ya sure what about" I asked "let go outside I want us to be alone when I tell you" she said "ya sure. are you ok" I asked worried. "I don't know" she replied with a blank expression and started to walk away. I quickly followed her.

When we got to the front door I held it open for her. She smiled. It was the first time I'd gotten any expression form her. It made me fell a little better. "so what did you want to talk to me about" I asked as we took a seat on a bench outside. she continued to stare at the ground as if the answer were hidden their. I was just about to ask if she was ok when she finally replied.

" their something about me that I think you deserve know but I'm not sure how to tell you" she said softly "you know you can tell me anything Raven I would never do anything to hurt you" I said trying to soothe and taking her hand in mine. She looked at our linked fingers then up at me. She let out a sigh and continued. "just promise me you won't leave me after you find out" she said looking worried.

"Raven" I said looking into her eyes and wrapping my other hand over our intertwined fingers rubbing the back of her hand with my thumb comfortingly. "I would never leave you" she smiled. "ok" she started "when I was eleven I was diagnosed with
Type 1 diabetes. She said looking down. I was shocked. I had hoped her secret was something that she'd done in the past not a serious health condition. I was instantly worried for her but tried to show no sign off it for her sake.

"you know I doesn't matter, it doesn't change the way I feel about you" "really" she asked skeptically "of course nothing could change the way I feel. I like you for you" she looked up at me. I could see the relief in her eyes. Her next action took me by surprise. She leaned over and hugged me .

"thank you" she whispered in my ear. " I honestly thought you would freak when i told you" she said as she pulled away " I hate when people worry about me it makes me feel like I'm limiting them." I just looked at her understanding the feeling. Now would be the perfect time to tell her. She couldn't possibly leave me after the way I handled her secret but somehow it felt liked I would be taking advantage of the situation so I decided against it. Besides having diabetes is totally different from being trans.

"so how did you find out" I asked. " well i kinda found out the hard way. I was often thirsty or tired and would lose large amounts of weight without effort. My face would get flushed and I got sick often.

One day after school Emmetts mom picked us up and took me to their house. I was walking up the stairs to Emmett's room when I suddenly felt really week and started to see things spinning. I couldn't support my own weight and fell down the stairs. She ran towards me cradling my head in her arms.

I was breathing rapidly and my heart was beating a mile a minute. She screamed for Emmett to call 911. I was rushed hospital. I could remember my eyes sight working on and off then blacking out. When I woke up she was right beside me with Emmett and she told me want the doctors had said to her.

She was never one to hide the truth from you even if you didn't want to hear it. That's one of the reasons I respect her so much. Aparently I had a minor heart attack and was diginosed with juvenile diabetes.

"were you scared" I asked "scared couldn't even begin to describe how I felt" she said laughing. At first I didn't understand her reason for laughing but when I thought about it I would do the same thing. After finding out and dealing with something like that daily you can't do anything but laugh. It's the only way to kept the fear away.

"when I first found out I went into complete shock. I didn't know how to react. It's not something you could prepare for. I had to take insulin daily, monitor my blood sugar levels, change my diet and exercise. It was a lot to adjust to especially when your so you and your parents aren't much help" "wait you parents didn't help you" I asked shocked "yes and no they would give me the money for the things I needed but Emmett's mom was the one who set down with me and actually talked to me about how I need to do things.

She was the one who took me to all my doctor appointments, showed me how to take insulin, she even changed her diet for me. If it wasn't for her I don't think I would be here now." she said smiling "wow she sounds like an amazing person" she laughed "ya she really is" she said looking up at the sky.

thanks for reading hoped you liked it.
