Luis’s Room – After Erik’s Confession
Luis stood frozen in the middle of his room, staring at the door Erik had just walked out of. His mind raced, replaying Erik’s words over and over again.
"I’m in love with you, Luis… You’re everything to me."
He ran a hand through his hair, pacing back and forth.
Luis (muttering to himself): “What just happened? Erik… loves me? Why didn’t I see it? Why didn’t he just say it before?”
The weight of Erik’s confession sank deeper into his heart. He thought back to all the moments—Erik’s stolen glances, his sudden shifts in mood, his strange behavior around others. It all made sense now.
But one thought gnawed at him: Why does this make me feel… guilty? Or worse… something else?
Luis sat on the edge of his bed, staring at the floor.
Luis (softly): “I hurt him. I pushed him away… and he still loves me?”
His chest tightened. He wanted to deny the warmth spreading through him, the sudden pang of regret that he hadn’t taken Erik’s feelings seriously earlier.
Luis (frustrated, whispering): “Why does this bother me so much? Why does it feel like I’m the one who’s done something wrong?”
Wilson Family return back to their home
Erik’s Return
Erik walked into the Wilson mansion, his shoulders heavy with the weight of his emotions. His family was still in the living room, chatting casually, but they immediately noticed his tense demeanor.
Elle Wilson (ML's brother)
(teasingly): “Back so soon? Couldn’t stay away from—”
Erik shot him a sharp glare, cutting him off.
Erik Wilson
(firmly): “Not now, Elle.”
The room fell silent. His father, Edward, gave him a concerned look.
Edward Wilson ( ML's Father)
“Son, what’s wrong? Did something happen with Luis?”
Erik hesitated, his jaw clenching.
Erik Wilson
“I told him. I told him everything.”
The room erupted into murmurs.
Elle Wilson (ML's brother)
“You what? You confessed? What did he say?”
Erik Wilson
(avoiding their eyes): “Nothing. He didn’t say anything. Just stood there, looking confused.”
James Wilson ( ML's cousin)
(softly): “Maybe he needs time. It’s not easy to process something like that, Erik.”
Edward Wilson ( ML's Father)
“You did what you had to, son. At least he knows now. That’s a big step.”
Erik nodded, but his heart felt heavy. He excused himself and went to his room, shutting the door behind him.
Luis Adam
Luis’s Room – Late Night Reflections
(Luis lay awake in bed, staring at the ceiling. He couldn’t stop thinking about Erik—his words, his pain, and the raw vulnerability in his voice.)
Luis (thinking): “Why do I feel like this? Erik… you said you love me, but why does it hurt so much to think I might have lost you today?”
(He sighed, turning onto his side. Deep down, he couldn’t deny the truth: Erik’s confession had stirred something inside him, something he wasn’t ready to face.)
Luis (whispering to himself): “Maybe I’ve been blind all along.”
Erik Wilson
Erik’s Room – Late Night Reflection
Erik sat on the edge of his bed, staring at the glass of water on his nightstand. His mind was a whirlwind of emotions—regret, sadness, and an overwhelming sense of relief mixed with pain.
Erik (thinking): "I said it. I actually said it. But what now? He didn’t even respond. Did I scare him off? Does he hate me now?"
He ran his fingers through his hair, letting out a frustrated sigh.
Erik (thinking): "Luis... I’ve loved you for so long. Every little thing about you—your smile, your confidence, even the way you ignore me sometimes. I thought... maybe there was a chance. But today, I saw it in your eyes. You don’t feel the same."
His chest tightened at the thought. He leaned back against the wall, closing his eyes.
Erik (thinking): "I was too impulsive. I should’ve waited, been more careful. But I couldn’t stand it anymore—watching you, being near you, and pretending I don’t feel anything."
(He remembered the hurtful words Luis had said earlier, the anger in his voice when he misunderstood Erik’s feelings.)
Erik (thinking): "‘Your touch disgusts me.’ Is that really how you feel, Luis? Or were you just angry? Either way, I don’t think I can forget those words."
He clenched his fists, frustration bubbling to the surface.
Erik (thinking): "Even if it’s one-sided, I’ll protect you. I’ll love you silently if that’s all I can do. But it hurts… God, it hurts so much."
He looked out the window at the starry sky.
Erik (thinking): "Maybe I’m a fool. But for you, Luis, I’ll be the biggest fool in the world."
Erik’s Dream – Late Night
As Erik drifted into sleep, his dreams were filled with memories of Luis—his laugh, the way his eyes lit up when he was excited, the way he stubbornly argued even when he was wrong.
In the dream, Luis was smiling at him, standing close enough for Erik to reach out and touch him. But when Erik tried to hold him, Luis faded away like mist.
Erik (in his dream): “Luis! Don’t go… please…”
He woke up with a start, his chest heaving. The ache in his heart felt almost physical.
Erik (whispering): “Luis… I love you. Even if you don’t feel the same, I’ll always love you.”
