Chapter 48

TODD

I paced the room waiting for Devon to come back, my nerves more than frayed and my emotions stutter stopping with the magnitude of what had happened earlier. I had never dared to hope, to even entertain the idea that Devon felt the same way as I did. Devon. I refused to let this ruin our friendship, in this mad world all we had was each other, and he was easily the most important person to me. Despite his appearance he was fierce in his own right, his brain on another level than most with his analytical skills. He was shorter than me by several inches, and where we both were made up of lean muscle he was more slender than I was. His almost black hair was always in a flop to the side, his brown eyes missed very little when he entered a room. And this amazing human wanted me, just as much as I wanted him; it was so wonderful it hurt. In a world where everyone was torn apart, and love was rare; this scared me.
