Heartache at the lake part 4/5

"I…"

Brian looks at Pete than at Bash, he's eyes locked with Sebastian's.

(Say something, tell me not to. Tell me you love me and I belong to you and you alone! )

Bash could hear Brian's pleading thoughts, those eyes could speak.

He has to say something too. He has too. If he said nothing, this would be the end of them. But Emma! What about Emma. She would be heartbroken. But if he said nothing, than he would be.

By this point, Bash was sure about his feelings. Everything he felt since day one. It was love. He loves Brian. He does, and if he holds his peace now, he will forever regret it!

Before he could think the word burst out of him.

"I love you Bri!"

I've been straggling with this feeling for a while now, but the truth is, I love you! I do! I can't bare the thought of you dating someone else, even someone as awesome as Pete, specially because he's that great."

"If you still have feelings for me than don't give him an answer right now, take your time. Think about us! We could have a future too. I love you! I love everything about you. The fact that you gave yourself a nickname 'cause I have one, the way you love, love and everyone you meet. I love the way you get jealous and pretend you're ok. I love the fact you care so much about my crazy sister. I love the way your eyes sparkle when you think of me. I love the way you smile all awkward. I love your happiness. I can't stop thinking about how much I love you. How jealous I am. I love everything about you. Please take your time to decide.

We belong together!"

Time froze. A pin drop silence envelopes the entire place.

No one spoke. Brian was speechless. Everyone was!

Lexy was so proud of her big brother, at this moment. She couldn't believe his words, his courage. (Oh Bash)

Emma couldn't believe her ears. What did Bash just say? No she must've heard wrong! This was insanity!

"Sebastian!! What are you saying?"

You're my boyfriend! "I.. I.." Tears start to fall. She couldn't speak anymore. The betrayal was too unexpected.

How could he say those things about this, this…. This boy! Someone who he barely knew. She's been by his side through thick and thin, for years!

Ever gasped. "What is even happening? Bash this is crazy! Not only Pete, now you? This is insane! What is wrong with you guys!? Have you lost your minds?"

She points at Brian with pure hatred. You!

This is all your fault! What do you think your doing? You, you…. Tramp! Why are you doing this to us! Stealing Peter is one thing but Bash. Emma loves him. They've been together for year. You're despicable!" Tears start to fall as she spoke. Hatred! She has never hated someone as much as she despised Brian at this moment!

"I…. I'm sorry I.."

Tears start to fall once again. Brian was crying. He didn't know how he got himself in this situation!

This love triangle had gotten way out of hand!

Pete takes Brian into himself. The hug was a safe and comfortable place. Peter holds him tight. As he whispers with a soft tender voice. "You don't have to be sorry about anything. We both love you because you are you. You didn't do anything wrong. Bri, you're my everything. You're Sebastian's everything. I hate to say this. but he loves you deeply. I love you deeply. Don't listen to them. They can't understand our feelings. They don't know what love is. They think they do, they don't!

Love is like gravity. The pull is overwhelming. When you feel it, you have to speak. You have to do whatever it takes to save it. We love you!

As Bash said take your time, you're loved! We love you."

Brian cries. This was more than he expected today. He loves them, he does! Pete is caring and beautiful. Sebastian is wander and love. He knows now he couldn't even picke between them. His hart is a mess. He loves them both deeply. Why has this had to happen? Selfy was nowhere to be found. He has tried to communicate with his other self for a while now but nothing. All he got was silence!

(I love Bash! He's my everything! I feel the world when I'm next to him. When he speaks to me, I know I belong in his embrace. Pete, he is my savior. When I'm with him I forget Marlena and her horrors!

Why do I have to choose? How can I?

What about the girls? Emma, Ever.)

Lexy takes a big breath and looks around the room. Everyone, this situation has gotten out of hand! Brother you know I hate your girlfriend, but this was a lot, even for her.

Pete, I love that you care so much about Bri but he needs time to process all of this! He can't give you an answer at the moment!

Ever, shut up! No one cares about you right now, stop crying! You're not a victim!

Emma, I'm sorry. I am, believe me. I hate you! What you did to me is unforgivable! But, I understand this situation is probably killing you.

Despite your mean nature, you don't deserve this. I'm sorry.

Sebastian, I.. I don't know what to say to you right now. Im

I'm proud of you. I love you. I've known how you felt for a while now, I'm glad you finally got the guts to say your truth. Regardless, Pete definitely deserves Bri more! I'm sorry Bash, you took too long.

Before anyone can respond, Lexy takes Brian by the hand and disappears below deck.

"Are you ok?" Below, there was nothing but a grate room. It looks like something out of a fairytale.

"I don't know, this was too much. I still can't believe it! I'm sorry; I didn't tell you about Peter. It just happened. I didn't have time to process it. Than, you and Bash were at the apartment. It was a lot, for the both of us!"

"I'm sorry too! I didn't think you and Pete would get along so well, if you know what I mean. Hehe.

Jokes aside, I'm happy you met someone so amazing. Peter is by far, the greatest guy ever. I love my brother, he's awesome! I still feel like Peter deserve you more. My brother isn't ready for this, for you two. On the other hand, he's bravery today was more than I give him credit for!

You love them, that ovious! But who are you in love with? Sebastian or Peter?"

"I love Sebastian! Peter is great, more even; I wish I had met him first, but I didn't. I love your brother. He's the man of my life."

Lexy smiles with satisfaction. Regardless of how much she adores Peter, Sebastian was her brother. How could she not be overjoyed.

Her parents came to mind. That wouldn't go well. She knows her parents, they would never accept it! They barely accept Emma, and she's a girl! Her parents love Bash too much! He's their last chance. They have everything planned out for him, a boyfriend wasn't on the list. It will never be!

Bri, I love you, and I love that you love my dumb brother so much, but there's something you need to know before you make your choice, my parents hate gays! Alway have, always will, specially my dad! I think that maybe that's why it took so lond for Bash to understand his feelings. To accept them!

Your relationship will never be accepted at our home, ever!"
