“Hello Miss Biersack.” James slowly stepped through the front door, cautiously following behind the four rowdy boys ahead of him. Jinxx, Jake, CC, and Ashley all nodded to my mom then ran upstairs. James stood a few steps into the doorway, politely smiling to my mom and picking at his hands. He knows he doesn't have to say hello, right? I guess he is just a polite little English boy… so cute.

A few moments after James introduced himself, I lead him upstairs to my room. Each step seemed to make him more shaky. It almost looked like he was going to faint.

I stopped him a few steps before the top. “Hey… are you okay?” His eyes darted to my lips, then to my eyes, then back at my lips, finally landing on my bedroom door. Did he want to kiss me? No no no… he was just nervous. I just didn’t know what for. I guess coming out can be difficult, but this seems different.

*Jinxx’s POV*

A few bags of popcorn, a game of truth or dare, and three hours of video games later, we decided to pick out a movie to watch. It was eleven-thirty and we decided after watching a two hour movie, we would chat for another hour, then go to bed. It seemed like the perfect sleep over, yet with every passing minute, James become more scared. I felt bad for him. He looked like a caged creature on display. I wish I could pull him aside and tell him that I knew his secret and could help him… but that would probably make things worse.

I just wish there was some way to-”Jinxx! Get in here! James is bleeding!”

Fuck.

I quickly ran into the room to see that the spot where James had been sitting had a huge blood mark on it. No wonder he didn't move. I knew something was odd, but I thought it was just him being nervous.

James was in tears, all that could come out of his mouth was, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry! He kept trying to rub it out, making the stain worse as it mixed with his tears.

This might be it for James. James might have to tell all. I can try to help him with a story but… one day he won't be able to play it off. One day the rest of the guys will find out. Then, I don’t know what will happen.
