It Wasn't Until I Met You

Part 8

Part 8

It's been three days since I've found out about Blake and I'm sure Axel knows something is up, I usually tell him everything but this, this is something I don't know if I can tell anyone. He's sitting across from me in library as we've both got a free period.

'I know you want to tell me so just spit it out.' Axel tells me not lifting him head up from his calculus textbook, blunt as always I see.

'What are you talking about?' I ask, already knowing the answer.

'You've had the 'I want to tell you but I'm scared' look on your face for like three day just tell me already.' He snorts out, he can be such a douche sometimes, no wonder he hardly has any friends.

'It's not that simple' I tell him but judging from his facial expression I can tell he is most definitely not buying my excuse

'Lynds whatever it is I don't judge you know everything about me and I know well nearly everything about you' he says sincerity leaking from his usual stony expression.

'Nearly?' I say challengingly.

'Well I don't know what ever you're hiding' axel tells me with a hint of a smile twitching at his lips.

'It's about Blake' I say warily, I wonder how he'll take it, hopefully he won't be too pissed at Blake.

'What did the idiot do, do I need to teach him a lesson?' he says going into overprotective big brother mode, his face contorting into something livid.

I choke on air when he said that, it's totally ironic Blake has actually in fact taught Axel many lessons.

'What, are you okay?' he asks as I get air back in my lungs.

'Yeah no he didn't do anything per say' I say warily, this does seem to calm him down 'so what's wrong then?' he asks, his eyebrows furrowing together in confusion.

'He got a job' I deadpan.

'Yeah teaching kids, what grade is he teaching?' he says to me with an eye roll.

'High school' I correct him

'What?' he asks even more confused.

'Yeah' i reply with a shrug.

'Which school?' he says going back into overprotective mode.

'Ours' I mumble out, though i know he had heard me because of his huge intake of breath.

'Who is he? We've only got two new teachers this year that could possibly be Blake; Mr Collins or Mr Rodgers, but I'm more than sure Mr Rodgers is gay, so if he's Blake this conversation just got awkward' he says with an awkward chuckle, how he can joke at a time like this is beyond me.

'No its Blake Collins' I quickly correct him, omg mr Rodgers is so cute and it's not a surprise that he's gay.

'Are you still together, I'm assuming you are as you exchanged I love you's'

'Yeah' i say with a sigh.

'Well at least he's not gay'' axel tells me with a careless shrug, WHAT!!

'Axel, be serious!' I exclaim, I would of thought he'd go on a rampage.

'I am, look as long as you don't get caught and he keeps you happy, I'm team Blake, you probably think no one notices your fake smiles but we do and well those smiles are not fake anymore you're happy that's all that matters in my opinion.' He tells me taking my hand in his.

'Thanks axel, I want to introduce you to Blake as my best friend, you okay with that.' I say smiling at axel; he's only like this with a couple people, mostly his family, but I'm practically family too.
