We decided that no matter what happened we would walk hand in hand, and that's just what we did. All of a sudden all eyes were on us, as we made our way to the dance floor. Suddenly the upbeat music changed to a slow song, and the crowd parted to make way for us. Once we reached the dance floor Jake took me in his arms, and we began to slow dance. It felt like we had been doing this for years. His body fit perfectly against mine, as we twirled along the floor. I noticed tears in some of the girls' eyes. If it was from us being gay and unavailable, or just the romantic moment, I didn't know. Slowly other couples came onto the floor. I saw Mike and Jay join us. I observed the awkwardness between them, but quickly dismissed it, as Jake placed his lips upon mine. This was the best night a gay guy could ever have! Without warning the double doors slammed open, as Mike stormed in. "You best get your damn hands off my man!!" Max bellowed at Jay causing half the people in the room to drop their jaws in astonishment. "Max what are you doing here?!! I thought you weren't going to come!!" Mike asked in great astonishment. "Well, had you waited like I asked you to, instead of taking this... WHORE then you would have known I went to your house to pick you up!!" Max screamed. "Wait!! Hold up!! First of all I am NO WHORE!! And, second, I didn't even know THIS... BITCH had a boyfriend!!" Jay exclaimed madly. "Well, HE DOES for over a year now!!" Max and Jay turned to look at Mike both of their faces flushed with anger. Mike just stood there, as everyone's attention was now riveted on him. "Look!!... I'm sorry!! Max,... I was tired of hiding whom I am, and well Jay,... I'm sorry, too, for putting you in the middle!!" "Your DAMN RIGHT you're sorry!! If I were YOUR BOYFRIEND, I would bitch slap your fucking ass!! MAX,... is it?!!" Jay inquired while turning to Max. "Yeah!!... I'm Max!! And, you are Jay?!" "Yup! I'm sorry that this happened!! If I had known, I would have NEVER agreed to go out with him!!" Jay retorted. He bit his lip while hoping for Max's forgiveness. "It's all good Jay!! I can see that you're as surprised at this as I am!!" Max said smiling at Jay. "Well,... I'm out of here!! Good luck with this one!!" Jay exclaimed nodding towards Mike, as he left the dance floor, Turning back to Mike, Max just shook his head more in sadness than anger. "I can't believe you!! Here I was thinking that you ACTUALLY loved me!! BOY was I wrong!!" Max walked away with tears glossing over his eyes. "MAX,... WAIT!!" Mike shouted. "NO!!... MIKE!! You threw away ONE YEAR!! ONE FUCKING YEAR!!... Just because you couldn't wait until I was ready to come out!!! So what if we didn't make it known to the world!! I thought that all that mattered to you is that we loved each other!! I am DONE with this!! I'M OUT!!" Max rushed to the exit. "I LOVE YOU MAX!!... I REALLY DO!!" Mike yelled over the now gossiping crowd but went unheard by Max. I quickly glanced towards Jake. We silently agreed that he would talk to Max while I spoke to Mike. I walked up to Mike and dragged him outside to chat. Tears were streaming down his face. I pulled my brother into my arms trying to soothe his pain even though I didn't agree with what he had done. "Oh TJ!!... What have I done?!!" Mike sobbed onto my shoulder. "Oh Mikey!... I love you! But, that was a really, really stupid stunt that you just pulled!!" "I know Bro!! I love him!! I really do!! But!... I just couldn't hide whom I am anymore!!" "I understand what your're saying, but I also feel what Max is going through!!" "Oh shit!! His dad!!" Mike yelled jumping up. "What about him?!!" "Max, just totally came out to the whole school!! How long do you think it's going to take for his dad to find out?!!" "Well, news travels pretty fast in this small town! What are you thinking of doing Bro?! Wait!!... Where are you going?!!" I asked Mike, as he rushed towards the parking lot. "I got to get to his house before his dad does something bad to him!!" Mike shouted over his shoulder, before he entered his car and sped out of the lot. I never had the chance to tell him that Jake was with Max, and that for now, he was safe. I made my way back inside searching for Jake and Max. I finally found Jake at the back of the room, alone. "Hey Baby! Where is Max ?!" "OH! I finally got him calmed down somewhat, but he was heading home! Why?!" "OH!!... Shit!!" "What is it Baby?!... What's going on?!" "Max!! He just came out to the whole school!! I wouldn't doubt that someone has already informed his asshole father!!" "Oh Fuck!! Where's Mike?!!" "On his way over to Max's house!! We got to get over there!... Now!!" Jake and I rushed out of the building to the car. Breaking the speed limit, we arrive at Max's house in less than ten minutes. At first glance, it looks to be all quiet. However, as we are walking up the driveway, a lamp come crashing through the front window! "YOU FUCKING FAGGOT! YOU SICK MOTHER FUCKER! I CAN'T BELIEVE I ACTUALLY HAD ANY PART OF BRINGING SUCH A WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT INTO THIS WORLD!" We heard Max's dad scream. It was followed by a slapping sound. "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HIM YOU BASTARD!" Mike's voice blared out to us on the front lawn. "JAKE! CALL THE COPS AND AN AMBULANCE! TELL THEM TO HURRAY!" I shouted rushing up to the house, I charged into the house to see Mike and Max's father squaring off. Max is lying in a corner blood gushing from everywhere! I rushed to Max's side and proceeded to drag him out of the house! "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING BOY?!" Max's dad questioned me angrily. "DON'T EVEN TAKE ANOTHER FUCKING STEP TOWARDS HIM FUCKER, OR I WILL KNOCK THE SHIT OUT OF YOU WORSE THEN WHAT YOU HAVE EVER DONE TO MAX!" Mike bellowed at Max's father. "QUICK! Get him out of here, TJ! He's hurt badly!! Is Jake calling the cops?!!" Mike whispered to me. "Yeah! It should't be too long now!" I whispered back. "WHAT ARE YOU! HIS LITTLE BOYFRIEND MIKE?! I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOUR MOTHER WAS TOO SOFT WITH YOU TWO!!" "DON'T SAY A FUCKING WORD ABOUT OUR MOTHER! YOU FUCKER! AND, YES! MAX IS NOT ONLY MY BOYFRIEND BUT MY LOVER!" Mike retaliated enjoying how Max's father winced at Mike's last statement. Suddenly, Max's dad lunged at Max trying to kick and hit Max's almost lifeless body. Mike bunched up his fist and slammed into the side of Max father's head! The man staggered before slumping toward the floor. In the distance I heard the sirens coming closer. Mike and I carried Max's body outside towards Jake who was directing the arriving officers.
