I prepare Camilla's coffee and we sit at the table, William goes and chops some fruit, then brings a chair next to us and sits at the other side of Camilla, offering us fruit. We start drinking our coffee, Camilla says she really likes the coffee and gives me a kiss on my lips, I caress her cheeks in return. William looks at the gesture, and out of the blue, asks: "I was thinking, Camilla, I don't recall seeing you cry often, save a couple of times and only Jarrod, Anna and I were present. How did you feel crying in front of everybody in st Patrick's Cathedral, even though they were happy tears, did you feel embarrassed or self conscious?"

I see Camilla tun to look at William...

Tristan's POV:

I notice a slight smile on Melissa's face, I softly jiggle her thigh, letting her know I notice, I see Lisa for a moment, then turn my eyes to the screen, waiting for Lisa's reaction...

Melissa's pov:

I guess my brother noticed the smile on my face as he softly jiggled my thigh before turning his focus back to the movie.

A few sec later out the corner of my eye I saw my brother looking at Lisa out the corner of his eye. This prompted me to turn my head slightly to look at Lisa. Although still resting her head on my shoulder I could see she had a smile on her face, yet she was also blushing. I wonder if she was thinking about what my brother had just done or if I was just over thinking things. With that I saw her close her eyes which forced another tear out her right eye and land on my shoulder while a tear from her right eye pooled in the corner between her eye and nose.

I decided to be bold, slightly nervous as I didn't want to ruin this perfect moment. I lifted my left hand, brought it slowly up to her right eye and thumbed away the now cool tear still pooled in the corner between her eye and nose. With that she opened her eyes and lifted her head slightly. I turned my body so I was facing her and brought my left hand over to her left eye and traced her now drying tear streak with the pad of my thumb from the middle of her cheek to just below her eye. She began to blush even more from this gesture. I didn't want her to feel embarrassed or self conscious in any way so I cupped her cheeks with both of my hands and planted a deep kiss on her lips almost forgetting my brother was even there. I then surprised myself when I spoke so boldly.

"Lisa, please save your precious tears for me. You never have to feel embarrassed, I'm here to help you take care of them... (Even if they are just from a silly movie)." I added the last part trying to lighten the tension just a bit.

William's POV:

I am shocked hearing Camilla's answers, then Jarrod turns it on me as if I'm being too straight forward, the truth is, I don't know a softer way to ask. I blush as Jarrod says that I am confessing Camilla nd being too personal.

"I'm sorry Camilla, I didn't know a softer way of asking, and I'm asking because I'm going through a process of getting to know myself, I mean, I changed recently and I don't know how to deal with it. Jarrod talking about having his thigh jiggled in a pub, in front of girls who he noticed were seeing him, I know he had to work on it, then you crying in public in the cathedral, I know you since childhood and you never cried, even when you fell from the bike and scraped your knee, I saw your watery eyes, yet you held back your tears, and we were in our early teens, when girls are supposed to cry the most. Where am I going with this, same as Jarrod, who noticed the girls looking at him, the day of the wedding I say two girls and a guy looking at me as I couldn't stop my tears, I tried being discrete, I leaned forward to hide behind the bench, but Anna lifted my face and I clearly saw them seeing my tears fall unchecked. I was extremely embarrassed as, (I start to blush harder) I am opening up like I have never opened before (except with Anna) I feel I cry in a not too masculine way, I have seen guys with a single thin, Hollywood style, streak on their cheek and that's all they cry, while I shed many tears in multiple thick, tear streaks, it's something I can't control and it makes me feel extremely embarrassed, I think I feel more embarrassed by how I cry than by the actual crying. There, my soul is bare, no secrets." I softly pat Camilla's thigh trying to release the anxiety that is building in me as her relaxed thigh bounces my hand as it jiggles against it.

I look at Camilla, and feel tears start to fill my eyes...

Robyn's POV

I was lying on the grass at the college, exhausted but happy

I had finished my final exam and there was just four days to wait before I would be reuniting with my girlfriend Caitlin. I was going over to see her and then she was coming back with me to the US

I was so looking forward to it

Two figures approached

'Is this a private spot or can anyone join?' Marie asked.

'What's the password?' I replied jokingly

'Biscuit!' Marie replied without hesitation a giggle escaping from her lips.

'Oh is that it' Susan replied with mock disappointment. 'I was told it was SPDDEPCH' I grinned and Marie collapsed onto the ground laughing. Susan joined too and I got up from my seating position

'Thanks for getting me through this year' I said to them. 'If it hadn't been for you two, my long distance relationship would have been so hard.'

Tears welled in both girls eyes

'I mean it was always going to be hard, but without you it would have been really hard. You're my best friends and I love you both.'

I couldn't say anymore but then I didn't have to. Susan hugged me tears streaming down her face, and Marie joined in her tears running down her cheeks
