BLACKHOLE'S POV
**In this fanfic, everyone is basically in high school, and the teams are like school clubs. Obviously, 4, X, and 2 are teachers lol but everyone else is probably 15-18**
Can't sleep as always. Tossing and turning, flipping my pillow everything. I decided to go on my phone for a bit and got a message from Tree.
-2:40 AM-
Tree: Hey.. I'm sorry if you aren't up but I need to ask you something
Blackhole: Sure, what's up?
Tree: Can you come over... I just need someone right now
Blackhole: No problem, give me 10 minutes
Tree: Thanks
I wonder why he needed me? Maybe he's going through something, but I want to be there for him, always.
-3:00 AM-
I grabbed my jacket and unlocked my car. We weren't that far because we went to the same school. I met Tree at a club meeting we both attended. It was called "Death P.A.C.T" and we would prevent suicidal thoughts and bullying. He always worked so hard for the group and had all these amazing ideas. We became best friends after that. He has a stupid boyfriend Pen, which is also in the club, but he never shows up. Two of his best friends are pretty big bullies in our school, but he never does anything to stop them.
I pulled up to Tree's apartment building and sprayed some cologne. I locked my car and entered the building. I ran up the stairs to his apartment, 304. I knocked on the door to try and get an answer but heard nothing. I turned the knob and saw the door was already unlocked. I walked inside to hear sobbing coming from his bedroom. I opened the door to see a dim light of a lamp and Tree sobbing on his bed.
I walk over and sit beside him. He shows me his phone, and it shows Pen kissing another girl that went to our school, she was always known as one of the popular girls and would bully others. I hug Tree as tightly as I could and wait for him to calm down. "I-I never thought he-" he tried to speak, but all that came out were more tears and stutters. I was pissed, let me tell you. I knew he was bad for Tree, but he always never listen to me.
Pen was always the crazy one, always throw parties, and always ended up either smoking or tried drinking cause his friends did it. (they're 16-) But this isn't the first time Tree called me over, he would always be either angry or distraught at him and just cry on his shoulder. He always thought he was cute, but thought he would stay with his unhealthy relationship with Pen forever.
After a while, he started to calm down. I finally spoke, "Everything will be okay, I promise." I knew someone had to be there for him. I wanted that someone to be me. All of a sudden, Tree looks at me and hugs me again. I saw his cheeks turn a slight pink, and I was screamed on the inside. "Thank you Blackhole." He finally spoke. "No worries" Normally I would leave at this point, I checked the time. "4:15". I went to stand up but then I heard Tree speak. "Blackhole, would you mind, I don't know... staying for the night?" He was looking down the whole time and I thought it was adorable. "Sure, I'll go sleep on the couch, that ok?" He just nodded, we didn't have much time because it was 4:20 and we had school at 7:30. I went into his living room and laid on the couch. His house was always stunning. Organized furniture, potted plants everywhere that he took care of, never a speck of dust. I heard footsteps so I quickly turned off my phone and faced the couch side. I heard a sigh and then Tree's voice spoke. "If only you knew how I really felt..." and heard him walk towards the couch.
He was spooning me. I felt his breath against my neck and his warm hands touching my waist. He rested his chin on my shoulder and I felt his smile against my cheek. I was really excited but I couldn't do anything because he thought I was asleep. I eventually fell asleep and woke up at 6:50. I turn around to see Tree gone. "Wonder where he went," I thought to myself. I stretched my arms and heard a sink running, and some slight humming. I looked back and saw Tree filling a watering can. "Goodmorning Blackhole," he said with a smile on his face. As I said good morning back, he handed me a cup of coffee.
"We should get going, I'll drive you to school," I spoke and Tree nodded in agreement. I grabbed my keys and watching him from the corner of my eye fixing his hair and placing his jacket over his black turtleneck. We walked down to the parking lot and entered my car. We listened to the radio and drank our coffee on the way to school.
When we got there, we entered from the front doors and when we were walking, there were a lot of whispers and pointing towards Tree's way. "Just ignore them, you're fine," I told him.
All of a sudden, we saw a few kids standing in a circle, most of the kids were the popular ones and some that played sports for our school. "What the heck is going on?" I heard Tree speak up. He walks through the people, and he is just standing there. I make my way to see what was going on, and it was Pen and this girl Pencil, kissing. Tree stared for a minute before Pen could turn around and stare back. I knew this was about to be ugly. "I mean, what?" Tree shouted. Pen just stood there, all his friends were laughing and Pencil finally spoke. "Sorry, but he found someone else... just get over it or whatever." That's when I got angry and knew I had to stand up for Tree. "How do you expect him 'to get over it' his boyfriend just cheated on him." I talked back. I turn to face Tree, tears falling down his face as he runs to the men's bathroom. "I knew you were a jerk, but not this much," I said before I walked away from the laughing to find Tree.
