Characters: Xavier(author)-19 Dad, Gary-41, his girlfriend Denise-38 her son Philip-15 AFTERMATH... Stunned, confused, frustrated and bewildered would describe the emotions I felt seeing Mitch's car drive off. I stared blankly out the window. I wanted to feel sorry for myself but couldn't at all. After Mitch was gone out of my life in more ways than one, I sat down on the couch and stared blankly at the wall in front of me. I guess I was blinded by our love and missed seeing what just happened. I was just too damn stupid to think this could ever occur to me. Sure I had been dumped before, but I saw those times coming a mile away. Mitch lately made excuse after excuse for not coming around but I knew he was very studious and needed to make the grades. When Taylor my brother was here, I just thought he was being considerate and let us spend time as a family without me having to divert my attention to him. I think he still loves me as a person but now seemed driven by the desire to have a family and have a female back as his sexual partner. I was proud however that we didn't get into a big fight and were fairly civil over the matter. Sure I could have tried talking him out of it but I would have been wasting my breath. I heard Dad's car drive up in the garage and knew it would to tough to face him. Dad saw me slumped over on the couch and came right up to me. "Xavier, is something up?" Dad inquisitively asked. I lifted my eyes, "Yeah, Mitch and I are finished." I could sense tears again welling up in my eyes. "Xavier, I'm truly sorry to hear that," Dad came and gave me a big fatherly hug of support. "What brought this on?" I took a deep breath, "Dad, I honestly thought he was completely changed. Sure we were fighting a little but not enough to end it. Mitch wants a family of his own now. He's been back dating women again and just wanted to end it with me before I found out." "Xavier son, I know how rough this has to be on you but nothing compared to going through a divorce and having to change courses in life like I had to. Xavier, right now I'm sure you feel terrible but if I know you, you will bounce back strong as ever and just look at this as a big learning experience," Dad said with his arm around me for support. "You guys didn't get into a big ass fight did you?" "Dad, I wanted to when he first told me but he broke down on me I couldn't. I could see that this was really tearing him up. There's no way I'm going to let this set me back. It might take a little time to get back on my feet but at least I'll be staying around here for a while with you." A big smile came on Dad's face, "There's a silver lining to this after all. I guess you better cancel his ticket." "I will do that. We'll still have a great time without him," I finally smiled. "You bet we will. I bet Philip will be jumping up and down over this." "Can I tell him since I told him earlier I was leaving?" "Yeah, I'll tell Denise but will try to keep it under wraps." It turned out not to be nearly as hard as I expected. Dad of course understood since he had been through worse and too understood the yearning to have a family. The thought of children had crossed my mind but it wasn't going to change my life. I headed off to my room and cancelled Mitch's plane fare and surfed the internet for some new hot sexy swim wear for the house and trip. After placing an order, I just looked through some pictures of better times I had enjoyed with Mitch. I looked at how hot I was and knew Mitch would be the one losing out or at least I wanted to tell myself that. Sleep that night was tough. I just thought of all the great fun times I had with Mitch, especially in this bed with him. Getting back to being unattached could be tough and trying. There were lots of guys willing to be my boyfriend if I wanted that. I really wanted to wait before having another relationship but wouldn't pass up the chance if I thought he was right for me. At college, I went to my only class for the summer session. I still had to decide whether to stick with the class we had signed up to be together in for the fall semester. After all this calmed down a little, I wanted to see Mitch one last time to make sure he wasn't pulling a scam on me and with another guy. Something told me he was being truthful to me. After a short work day that Friday, I headed home. I went immediately to the `pool house' to check it out. It definitely was large enough to accommodate my things. I saw the countless possibilities for this space for freedom yet still being close to Dad. I took a few measurements and did a little space planning like I had seen on television a few times. This actually could be a nice place to stay. "Xavier, how's it going today?" Dad asked since we missed each other at his office due to his day-long appointment. "Actually very good, Dad. I know I'm going to miss Mitch a lot but hell there's not shit I can do about now. I just need to get on with my life," I smiled. We walked around the `pool house' together while I told him my plans. He gave me a little insight on a few things from his experiences. "Denise and Philip will be here shortly," Dad said. "Can I treat you to a nice meal tonight?" "That would be awesome," I replied. "Son, everything will work out. I'm really proud of how you have handled this so far. You have shown a lot of maturity through this tough time," Dad said. I cleaned up somewhat and heard Denise and Philip drive up. I sat on my bed while hearing Dad talking to them. A quick knock came at my door. I hollered since I knew who it was. Philip came in and looked very nice and tan in his stylish t-shirt and shorts, "Gary said you wanted to talk to me." "Yeah Philip, have a seat here on the bed with me," I said. He sat down on my bed not real close. "I have some bad news and some good news." "Okay," Philip looked at me under his growing long bangs. "The bad news is that Mitch and I are no longer dating," I said. "He broke up with me yesterday." "Wow dude, I'm sorry! That really sucks!" Philip said and seemed shocked. "He's really stupid." I just looked at him. "Do you know what that means?" "Yeah, he's not going with us on our trip. He's really going to miss out, ain't he?" I shook my head, "Yeah he is." I waited a few seconds while he just stared at me. "Philip, I'm not moving out." Philip smiled as big as ever, "Are you serious!? You're staying here?!" "Yelp, I'm here for the time being," I smiled. "Dude, that is so freaking awesome! Mom! Mom! Xavier isn't moving out!!!" Philip ran out the room and was met by Denise just outside my room. "Philip, Gary just told me but son, he's moving into the pool house," Denise said. "Still, he will be here! This is so great dude!" Philip said. At least someone was excited about it. Denise came and gave me a big hug, "Xavier, I'm really sorry to hear that you guys broke up. I think you made some 15 year old's day though." "Thanks Denise. I knew I would," I smiled. "I hope I don't regret it." "You might but he'll get used to you being around," Denise smiled. We all went to eat at a very nice restaurant. A smile was permanently placed across Philip's face. The worst part was he couldn't stop talking how cool it was that I wasn't moving out. Never having a true family, this was to be expected I gathered. We talked during dinner about the trip and some of the interesting things I found on the internet for us to do. If nothing else, it kept my mind off my little demise. The next day, Saturday, I was designated to be Philip's buddy in his mind. I tried my best to get him to go hang with his friends but he would have no part of it. He wanted to hang with me and help me get over Mitch. Dad and Denise found us lying out by the pool and walked out to see us. "Xavier, Denise and I are going to head over to the casino for a little while if that's okay with you?" Dad asked. "That's fine. I don't have a lot planned any way," I replied. "We might be late getting home," Denise said. "You know how your Dad is once he gets there." "I know how he is. You guys have fun," I said. "Philip can just stay here tonight if you want him to." "Denise that sounds like a great idea and we can have some real private time," Dad commented to Denise. "I guess so since you guys will be brothers in just a few weeks," Denise said. "Philip, I trust you will behave while we're gone. I will have my phone." "Mom, I'm 15 in case you forgot. We'll be fine, won't we Xavier?" Philip replied. "Okay then we'll see you tomorrow," Denise said. "Don't worry, Denise. Matter of fact, I'll bring him home when I get tired of him," I said. "In that case, we'll see you bright and early then," Denise smiled. "Very funny Mom!" Philip shouted while they were leaving. "That's cool of you Xavier." "Like I shit else to do," I laughed. "Besides, I might as well get used to having my pain-in-the-ass step brother around." "Funny Xavier. You know you love having my hot ass around now that your fuck boy is gone," Philip laughed. "What the fuck you say, bitch? Fuck boy?" I kidded with him. "Yeah Mitch your little bitch that you fucked the shit out of every night," Philip motioned with his hands like he was fucking. "You better not touch my ass though or I will deck you." "Wow, not two minutes since your mom is gone and you're starting to talk like Taylor," I laughed. "Dude, I can't hold a candle to him," Philip laughed. "Xavier, you are the coolest though. I bet you'll have tons of guys after you." "Thanks Philip. You know I think we'll be just fine, won't we?" "You bet." We hung out at the pool for a while. Both of us were getting dark I must say. We headed out for a while together and meet up with some of his friends at an amusement type area. Actually it was fun acting like a kid again with all the games and things that they offered. Philip introduced now as his step brother proudly even though it really was official yet. That Sunday after he honestly about wore me out with his teenage energy, I finally dropped him off at his place. I spoke with Denise for a while before heading back to the house. It really was great being with Philip all weekend and he did all he could not to bring up Mitch. When I arrived from college and working with Dad the next afternoon, there were two huge bouquets of flowers sitting at our front door. I went to the door to see what the occasion was. Tears ran down my eyes once I saw that they were from Mitch. He wrote a thoughtful card to me and one to Dad and our family. I really appreciated the nice gesture and took my nice arrangement to my room. That Tuesday, I decided to head over to Mitch's dorm room after calling him. I figured a little time had passed now and I wanted closure. He was there waiting on me while I nervously entered his room. There was a moment of awkward silence. I noticed Mitch had ditched his earrings now for his new transformation. "Mitch, Dad and I really appreciate the flowers you sent." "Thanks, Xavier! That was the least I could do for all the great things you guys did for me. Xavier that was by far the hardest shit I've ever done in my life. Sure I could have dragged it on and kept you in the dark just to get a nice trip out of it but I just couldn't. I don't expect you to understand fully but seeing my sister in law pregnant and then seeing the pride your dad has in being a father really made me want the same thing in my life. Xavier, its hard being gay in a straight world you know. I tried like hell to transform but when I wasn't around you, it was rough on me mentally and emotionally," Mitch said with deep sincerity. "Xavier, I just hope we can be friends. This has nothing to do with you at all. You are a great guy that any gay guy would be so lucky to grab up. So are we still cool?" "Yeah Mitch, we are," I said with a big hug. We talked and laughed for well over an hour. It was actually fun recalling all the fun we had had together over the past 10 months. He was concerned about my family and asked about them as well. I had to ask how his was doing and handling the death of his father. Mitch was honest with me and told me he had thought about this for a while but just recently knew it was the thing to do in his life. I could see we could still be friends but in a different way now. Nothing doing, he insisted I wait to see his girl. It was weird seeing her and wasn't what I really expected. She was very nice and knew all about Mitch and me. She wasn't a beauty queen and looked like a very normal girl. I wished both of them well as I left. Mitch followed me out in the hall. "Xavier, thanks for everything. I'll see you this fall in our class together, okay?" Mitch said. "If and when I do get married, I know I will want you standing there with me. Xavier, you are just so awesome." "Thanks Mitch. You take care. I'll be just fine," I said and walked away. Wiping a tear from my eye, this 10 month awesome relationship was now over and complete. It was just so surreal seeing him there with someone else. He appeared to be satisfied with his decision that he had made. I know there were still some hurdles to completely get over Mitch completely and probably some in Mitch's life as well. More than anything I would just miss being around him all the time, since we were best friends. The sex was great but just always a bonus to me. We both matured a lot during our time together as do most people just out of high school. TO BE CONTINUED... Note: I really was blown away by all the emails I received from the last chapter. Thanks to everyone who took their time to write me and share their feelings.
