It’s about 10.am when my phone rings. I immediately know who it is. Anthony. I pick up the phone carefully, is if it’s about to break.
“Hello?” I say, as I accept the call.
“Ian… Is…. Is that you?” Anthony says shakily. I hear him sobbing on the other line. “It’s been a long time, dude.”
I smile for the first time in years. “It’s been too long dude. Are you crying?”
“Nah.” He denies as he sniffs.
“So, what are you doing these days man?”
“I help run a dance and drama school actually.” He laughs, half-expecting me to laugh as well. I don’t. “I don’t dance around like a ballerina if that’s what you were thinking. I teach the kids how to act. It’s really fun, I love my job.”
The line goes silent. I’m not really sure if I should do this. I was originally planning to tell Anthony how I feel, after five long years. If I get it off my chest, maybe I wouldn’t be so insane.
Anthony snaps me back to reality. “What do you do now, man? Are you still popular on YouTube?”
“I don’t actually have a job at the moment.” I say, feeling a bit embarrassed. “YouTube wasn’t the same without you.”
“Wow, you’ve changed Ian.” Anthony says, shocked. I could imagine him shaking his head as we speak.
“I’ve missed you Anthony. I really have. I…..I think I love you.” I say, as I start crying. I knew that what Anthony was going to say next was not going to be new to me.
“I’m not sure if you’ve just forgotten Ian, since it’s been seven years…”
“Five.” I correct him, cutting him off.
“Whatever.” He sighs. He continues talking. “Or you just won’t take no for an answer. We experimented once. I’m not interested.”
“Can we just hang out again, like old times? I’ll move closer, it’ll be fun.” I suggest.
“No thank you Ian.” He says, sighing. “Now, I’d appreciate if you didn’t call me ever again. Goodbye.”
I listen as someone says “Did you call me Daddy?” before it cuts out. Did my ears deceive me? Or did Anthony name his son after me?
Enough of that, I’ve got closure. Anthony does not love me. He never did. When he kissed me, he felt nothing.
What a fool I’ve been. I’ve spent five years questioning this. I tried to piece together evidence that Anthony loved me. That Kalel was a just a cover up. What for? For it to come up in a conversation and make me look like an idiot? Wow.
I laugh, because I am an idiot. I need help. First thing I’m going to do tomorrow is check in to a mental asylum.

Ian's Insanity (Ianthony)
FanfictionWhat do you think will happen after Smosh ends? Well, Ian thought Smosh never would end. As soon as Anthony married Kalel and moved away to aspire an acting career, it left Ian in a trance. He was left on his own to make videos. It wasn't the same w...
