Life Lessons Learned The Hard Way
Identity Disorder
Austin's POV
When I got home from school I checked my messages. There was nothing from Brendon. Typically he blows up my phone as soon as we leave campus. He is probably just busy.
“Hey babe, are you okay?” I said, hoping I wasn’t being too clingy. Half an hour passed, I checked my messages. And there was still no reply. This was completely out of character for Brendon, and I’m starting to freak out! I spur of the moment decided to call him, praying that he was okay.
“Hey Bren, I was just calling to see if you are okay. If you need anything, or if you’re in trouble, or even if you’re fine, just call me please! I’m getting worried, ok ummm Bye Baby!”
It went straight to voicemail. I don’t think I have ever went to his voicemail.
“Should I call Tino, Yes!” I mumbled to myself. Maybe Brendon contacted him?
“Hello?” Tino whispered.
“Hey man, have you anything from Brendon today? I’m starting to get worried!”
“Ya, he is sitting next to me right now.” He continued to whisper.
“What? Why is he with you?” I exclaimed, becoming more and more confused by the second.
“Calm down, Calm down. He is here tracking a song. I think it might be for you!” he said going from a normal voice to a whisper yet again.
“Mhmm whatever, just tell him to call or text me when he is done. Thanks Tino!”
“Okay Bye” He hung up right away. What the heck Tino, it’s not like we were having a conversation...
……
I tried not to think about the song, considering that it might be my anniversary present! Our 2 year mark was in 2 weeks, and if he knew that I knew that the song existed….. Well he would be up the walls mad. It has been the best 2 years of my life, and I got to spend it with the most amazing man, my Brendon. He could quite possibly be the love of my life! We started dating at the beginning of sophomore year, that is after liking each other for several years. We are one of those annoying couples that did everything together, then all of the sudden, Brendon has been more distant. I assume that its because of the song, or at least that’s what I'm trying to convince myself for the past 2 hours. I suddenly hear “She’s a Handsome Woman” playing. It was my man!
“Hello honey.”
“Ya hi, what did you need earlier?” he said almost sounding worried.
“Oh, I was just worried that something was wrong, or that you were hurt. You know, just checking in!”
“Oh.. Is that really all?”
“Ya that’s it honey. Are you okay, you sound different?” I said with a concerned tone.
“I'm fine, ok, bye babe!”
This was the second time that I have been hung up on today. I’ll just text him or talk to him face to face tomorrow at school. I hope it wasn’t something I did.

The Next Day
Tino’s POV
I’m sitting here listening to Mrs. Baldwin’s boring ass speech about some book we were supposed to be reading. I of course wasn’t , so I thought of a way to get out of class.
“Mrs. Baldwin, can I go use the bathroom?” I exclaim with all intentions to just roam the halls.
“Really, are you kidding me? I must be wasting your time standing up here lecturing!”
“Can I go or not?”
“Go ahead, Valentino.”
I hurriedly got up from my desk and went in to the direction of the bathroom. For some reason when I got up it hit me that I had to pee. I was nearing the bathroom when I heard two people talking and some strange noises. Not thinking much about it, I walked in and looked towards the farthest sinks, not believing what I saw.
“What The FUCK!!!”
