Justin blinked at Wayne for a while before he answered, trying to remember exactly how the talk had been going. “I..I..” He started, clearly not knowing how to answer that particular question. “Look, I know what it looks like, but it’s not what you think.” He said seriously, his own heart starting to race but not for the usual reason.
Before he added anything, he heard someone enter the dorm. Preferring that this conversation remained between them, Justin closed the bathroom door after breathing in sharply. Turning to Wayne, he tried to get back to the matter they were discussing previously.“I tried to leave out your name.. Really, Wayne you’ve got to understand I was freaking out and I had to make a decision and..” Justin breathed in, then sighed before wiping his face with his hand. “I told her that I’m gay and.. I told her I wanted you and..” It was only now that he realized that he should have told Wayne that Hannah knew. Or at least not told her at all.
“I have only told her what she needed to know at that point. I needed someone objective to help me out.”
