{Tyler}
“Tyler, snap out of it!” Preston sobbed, with his arms around me, trying to tug me upwards. I moved up with him, and unclamped my ears, hugging him tightly,
“I love you so damn much…” I cried, clutching onto the back of his shirt,
“I love you too, man.” Preston squeezed me, before letting go of me. I looked around me for stability, before pulling my hood up to hide myself from Cameron, Rae, and the other kid standing next to me.
“I'm sorry.” I felt Cameron put his hand on my shoulder,
“It's okay.” I wiped the tears away, but they just kept coming,
“But it’s not.” Cameron sat in front of me, and squeezed my hand, “You're crying, you were screaming, and I triggered your trauma. You can't tell me that's okay.”
“You didn't know.”
“But I do know not to randomly fire a gun.”
“Hey, Cameron, don't bother with that right now. You're just going to make things worse.” Preston informed him,
“Oh, okay. Sorry.” Cameron frowned, and got up,
“What are we going to do with Fraco?” I asked, wanting to remove the attention that was being given to me currently.
“I have a dumpster in the back, I'm sure it'll be fine if we just dump him in there.”
“Oh.”
“Actually, Cameron, why don't you do that as your first job?”
“Uh, right.” I heard him shuffle around, while everyone continued to watch me,
“God, will you guys stop staring at me?”
“Sorry,” Preston muttered, “Sooo, Cameron, are you just going to stay here then?”
“Yeah. What are you guys doing?”
“I don't know.”
“You guys could stay here,”
“That would be nice, thanks.” Preston smiled,
“No problem. I'm Ami by the way.”
“I'm Preston.”
“Cool, cool. By the way, while I'm at it, I should probably mention that I'm non-binary, so y'know, if you wouldn't mind using they pronouns, that would be great.” Ami informed, while looking away nervously,
“Alright, thanks for letting me know.” Preston nodded,
Preston and I were now the only ones awake, which is why he finally asked, “How are you feeling?”
“Fine, I guess.”
“You guess?”
“I don't know… I just feel empty.” I sighed, “Why are you still up?”
“I'm cold as hell.”
“Oh,” I wrapped myself around him,
“Damn, you’re so hot…”
“I know.” I smirked, making him chuckle,
“Not in that way, you doofus… Well, okay, maybe just a little.” He teased, causing me to laugh,
“Oh my god, shut up!” Cameron groaned, “Quit flirting…”
“You jealous?” Preston asked,
“You can join us,” I teased, making him turn bright red,
“Shut up, you aren't funny.”
“You're the one who implied it,”
“Well, it's true. You guys act like a couple, I don't know why you guys aren't dating yet…”
“Because neither of us are into each other?”
“I call bullshit,” Cameron glared, “Two straight guys don't just cuddle and say flirtatious things in the middle of the night.”
“Eh, I think you just have shitty friends.” I shrugged,
“That's true, but Preston, do your guy friends, other than Tyler, cuddle?”
“Nah, but me and Tyler have a deeper bond.”
“Yeah, a romantic one.”
“Whatever you say, Cameron, whatever you say.” I rolled my eyes,
