*takes place after the whole van speech scene in Vol 2*

I could have sworn I was being obvious, but honestly, I don't know if I even want him to know. I'd rather him ignore me than hate me. But still, I knew one thing for sure, Mike is completely clueless. Or at least that's what I thought until I felt a hand on my knee.

"Will, why are you crying?" Shit, he saw that? "W-what? I'm not crying" I was facing away? How did he see? "Then turn to me, I'm not stupid I can see your shoulders shaking."
I turn to face him, trying to contort my face into a smile, then it falling quickly into an ugly crying face. Mike reached out to my shoulder, rubbing his thumb in an attempt to comfort me, but the only thing I wanted was a hug.
"Will, what's going on? Why are you crying?" I couldn't think of an excuse, so I shrugged, I couldn't tell him now, he would hate me. "Will please, I just want to help you." I laughed, "help me? Please Mike, how could you possibly want to help me, you've ignored my for almost a year now, and when I finally see you again, you make me third wheel you and El!"

Mike looked shocked, "Oh, now I'm the bad guy, if you're so mad that I didn't call, why didn't you?" "Because when I did, the one fucking time I did, you asked me if I could put El on the phone after 15 minutes of talking!" Mike sighed, opened his mouth to say some form of excuse, but I wasn't going to hear it.

"That's not how you should treat your "best friend"" I say, adding air quotes. Mike rolled his eyes, then rubbed his temples, "why do you have such a problem with El, she my girlfriend, do you expect me to just ignore her?" I've had enough of this bullshit ignorance, my anger made me spill something I wasnt quite ready for

"because Mike, I think I like you, it might be wrong but thats just how I feel." Mike gasped, his eyes wider then I've ever seen. I, realizing what I just said, covered my mouth before I could say anymore. It wasn't the full truth, I didn't think I liked him, I know I liked him

Tears fill my eyes as I turn myself back to face the window, watching cars as the pass. Until suddenly, I feel a hug from behind. I look down to see Mike's hands wrapped around me in a tight hug, I put my hand over his since he was hugging my arms and I couldn't hug back
