Brendon had only seen Ryan cry once, and it was at the end of Titanic, of all movies. The one movie Ryan seemed to make fun of, due to the fact, Brendon later found out, that it was the only overrated movie that made him cry every time.

But those tears were tears of sadness for a fabricated love on screen that didn't exist in the same world we did, and those tears disappeared as quickly as they came.

These tears are different. Big, fat tears that soak through Brendon's shirt until his chest is wet, tears that burn Ryan's eyes and make him want to scream, tears that can no longer be pushed deep, deep down, ignored and never to be mentioned.

These tears break Brendon's heart.
