Henry was disappointed that he didn’t know about this, he said: So they were right and I thought I knew you.
Ava: It’s okay! It’s not like you don’t know me it’s just that this topic never came up between us.
Henry: But you know I'm Bi and you even know my favorite things.
Ava: That’s because you tell me those things.
Henry was still upset so he asked further:
“So you basically like everyone regardless of their gender.”
Ava: Yeah I've slept with every type of guy and girl the cute ones the big ones.
Henry eyes opened and he was shocked to an extent that he chocked his beer.
Henry: You’re not a virgin!!!
Ava laughed loudly: No what makes you think that.
Henry: When did you lose your virginity? How did I not know? I've never seen you with anyone? When did all this happen?
Henry was unable to absorb this much information. He now was the only one in his trio whose cherry wasn’t popped yet. Henry calmed himself down and thought that what’s done is done but he can take advantage of this moment and get to know Ava better.
Henry: I wanna know everything about you from your favorite food to favorite animal.
Ava was so happy that once in her life Henry is interested in knowing her more. She was about to tell him her likes and dislikes but unluckily Liam arrived.
Liam: Hi guys! What are you talking about?
Henry’s eyes lit up as he saw Liam and his interest shifted from Ava to Liam. This made Ava a little angry but there was nothing she could do she wasn’t a bad person who would deprive someone of their love.
Two hours passed and for the past two hours everyone was swooning around Ava, this made Liam uncomfortable. He drank one glass after another while observing Ava being worshipped. It wasn’t like he was being ignored but he always had a weird inferiority complex. Liam went out saying that he had to smoke, Henry noticed him and followed.
Liam was sitting outside in the corner as he was just a separate existence from this world.
“Why am I not always enough? Why is she always one step ahead of me? She takes everything I want. If only I could have one thing that she wants.”
These thoughts lurked Liam’s mind.
Henry: You shouldn’t be out here if you're not smoking.
Liam gaze shifted from sky to Henry. He watched him like a predator fixes his eyes on his prey. Henry was too innocent to translate Liam’s gaze into something dangerous. Liam stood up and grabbed Henry’s hand. Henry got scared.
Henry: What’s the matter Liam? Are you okay?
Liam: If you were to choose between me and her who would you choose?
Henry couldn’t hear him as he was too busy trying to escape Liam’s grip but Liam was too strong.
Henry looked at Liam and he saw that Liam was crying. Henry never saw Liam like this, he didn’t know the reason for Liam’s grief but he wanted to comfort him, and so he hugged Liam and in the next moment before Henry could realize they both were kissing in an alley.
