Josh: nah, can't be that good? Chase: who are you kidding? I've never even thought about getting with a guy until you. Josh: u serious? Chase: totally! I always thought I'd end up getting with Lisa, so I never even bothered with the other girls, and I seen you down the hall with Laura, and I always figured you two were together. I never once pegged you as being gay! Josh: but...chase...I'm not gay! Chase: oh c'mon man, it's a little late to try and fool me now, especially after this Josh: but I'm not, I can't be Chase: well then what does that make me? Josh: I have no clue but I'm not gay? (hesitantly, as if second guessing himself) Chase: josh, look, there is no turning back from what we did, it's done man, I don't see why we have to make such a huge deal out of this, nobody has to ever know Josh: oh, you don't think I'm that kind of an egotist, do you? Chase: josh, your star quarterback man, and I'm captain of the cross country team, I can understand your need to be secretive about all this, I know where you come from, but I'm not going to sit here and let you deny your sexuality, that's not what love is... Josh: did you just say love? Chase: yes, josh, I did, and I think I'm falling madly..deeply ...truly in love with you, I've never felt so complete in my life, and its all because of you, hell, I would tell everyone and embrace homosexuality if it means I get to come to your arms when the day is over, I've always had a thing for you, even back in middle school, and that day of detention for being late in class, my heart was pounding the entire time, and I am so thankful that you finally noticed me back, because I don't know what I would do without you in my world josh (josh is just smiling from ear to ear right back at chase) (we can see josh smiling in his sleep as we exit the dream) (chase's bedroom) (Marcus is on the floor passed out with a pillow and blanket) (Lisa is on top of a sleeping bag not too far from Marcus, sleeping like an angel) and on the bed... chase is curled up on the left side, and Adam is sleeping next to him, only a couple inches away, they are both facing each other, and their hands are lightly touching each other in a sound sleep" " S.O.S please!!! Someone help me Its Unhealthy!! For me to feel this right!!! Ooh, you are making this hard!!! Ya got me tossin and turning , I can't sleep at night!!!" the alarm went off really loud... Lisa rolled over in shock only to mull Marcus in the stomach, he awoke and began keeling over in pain, which cause Adam and chase to awaken, and it only took but 2 seconds to realize they were holding hands... Their eyes went wide, and they blushed profusely, and pulled their hands away so fast that they couldn't control their own motions, chases hand hit the computer desk which sent the mouse flying off the desk, and it landed right next to Lisa, Adam's hand hit the wall with a loud thud, he grabbed it in pain, and a picture frame fell off the wall and landed in between them. All four of them just sat there in shock. (josh's room) (back into the dream) (chase is catching a football, wearing josh's sweatshirt) (josh is smiling and running after chase, then he playfully catches chase) (they roll around in the grass smiling and laughing, and they take a second to gaze into each other's eyes) (josh kisses chase on the forehead) (and chase reciprocates by kissing josh full on the lips) Chase: look at me...I'm playing football...in my boyfriends sweatshirt, out in the open air, with my boyfriend, I can't think of a time where I've been happier, I love you josh Josh: I love you too chase Chase: I never want this moment to end, I want to be with you forever Josh: me too, I wish I didn't have to go. Chase: but josh , you do Josh: why ? Chase: because its time to wake up... Josh: but I'm not sleeping Chase: course you are, silly goof, another reason why I love you, your just so darn cute (kisses josh's cheek) (josh goes to stand up) Chase: wait a sec? Josh: yeah lover? Chase: I just wanted to look in your eyes one last time (josh smiles) (chase grins) (chases kisses him deeply) (chase mouths the words "I love you" , but the song is too loud) (josh gives a weird look, and then it all goes white) (his alarm went off playing the same radio station and song as chase's radio) "there's a time please, someone come and rescue me, cuz u and my mind got me losin it, I'm lost u got me lookin for the rest of me, got the best of me, and still I'm losin it" josh's eyes opened, he lay there for a second, grabbing his head and reeling, still on his mind, "god!! What is it with this kid?!" he thought. (chase's bedroom) (they all sat there, looking at the catastrophe that is his room) Marcus: ladies and gentlemen , I give you the comedic styling of the Scooby gang in wake up call Lisa: can it Marcus!!! Marcus: testy this morning? Lisa: do you really want to lose your anal virginity that bad?? (Marcus turns pale) (chase and Adam just lay there looking sheepishly) Lisa: chase!! Hunny!! We need to go and make coffee, Lisa needs caffeine! Marcus: Lisa also needs a hairbrush (giggles) (Lisa punches him in the shoulder) (Marcus grabs it in pain) Marcus: yoouchness!! Sheesh! (Lisa glowers) (chase giggles) (Lisa looks at him expectantly) Chase: what is it with you and caffeine Lisa?? Lisa: a necessary part of my morning if I want to be at all cheerful (they all laugh a little at this) (josh's room) (he walks into his closet with his boxers on) (rubbing his eyes groggily) (he picks out a shirt and a pair of really nice jeans...and lays them aside) he then thinks "I don't know" (he picks out a different shirt) "I'll bet chase would defiantly notice me in this shirt!!!" (he gives out a weird look) "Gahh!! Why the fuck am I dressing to impress chase? He should be the least of my worries" (he goes back to his original shirt and lays it aside) (he then changes into a pair of red and white shorts and white tee) (he leaves the closet) (he comes back in and quickly switches shirts back to the one he thinks chase would like, then throws his hands in the air, shakes his head in defeat and walks out) (door closes) (chase's room) (door opens, in walks chase and Lisa with 2 big cups of cappuccino) (Adam eyes the coffee) Adam: chase, you're going to share that with me, aren't you? Chase: why don't you ask Lisa to share hers? (Lisa selfishly braces her coffee and glares at chase for even suggesting it) (they all laugh) Chase: I'm just kidding Lisa: still not funny.. (chase hands coffee to Adam, he grabs it, and there hands touch for a couple of brief seconds) (their eyes wander to each other for only a second) (Lisa notices this and looks away) Lisa: so where did Marcus go? Adam: oh, he went to go take a shower Lisa: ahhh, I see.. Adam: yeah...shower...something I need Chase: oh, me too Lisa: yeah...(mumbles) you both could defiantly use a cold shower Adam: what was that? Lisa: oh, sorry...mumbling...just saying how good a shower sounded right now (eyes moving away) Chase: (eyeing Lisa) sure does. Lisa: so what do we all have planned today? Adam: well, I didn't exactly have a lot planned, just working out and maybe some shopping. You? Lisa: well...not too much, there was a party tonight, thought about maybe going to that Adam: you mean Mcelvy's party? Why on god's green earth would you want to go to that? Lisa: because...a bunch of the girls are going...cute guys to flirt with...let Mcelvy hit on me, and stunningly turn him down.. Adam: ooh..bad gurl! (Lisa gives devilish grin) (chase is turning pale) Lisa: chase, are you ok? Chase: me...uh..yea...fine here, all's fine here...is Marcus going to that party? Lisa: yeah, we kinda planned to, why? Chase: oh, just seeing if you were both going... Lisa: ohh..my god, I am such a bad friend...your sad because we didn't invite you Chase: well, actually, I kinda -- Lisa: chase, I'm so sorry! I just, well, I didn't exactly peg you for the party type, besides I thought you hated Mcelvy. Adam: (protective) he does. Chase: actually, I don't hate anybody, you know me better then that Adam, I might not get along with someone, but that doesn't mean I hate them, I could never truly hate anybody. (they share a deep look like they can read others minds) Lisa: oh-kay, well chase if you really want to, I'm sure I can fit you in the ride Chase: no...that's -- that's ok...I really didn't plan on going anyways...I was just gonna stay in, and work on my studying a little bit... Adam: well that's cool, maybe I could stay and help you Lisa: yeah chase, we all could, who needs a party anyways, I wouldn't be able to go knowing I hurt you at all, we could turn it into another movie night Chase: No! you guys are going to the party, I'm not hurt or mad at all, I'm fine, you know me, if I wasn't fine, I would show it. And Adam, you made shopping plans already, don't break those for me, I'll be fine...really! And no one is arguing with this, my mind is made up! (Marcus walks in) Marcus: what's going on? (o.s) Chase's mother: Chase! Hunny! Phone call! Chase: (yells) Coming!..(looks at group) we good here? Adam: yeah..I'm just gonna go home and take a shower, ill call your cell chase! Chase: kay, talk to you later Adam (goes up and hugs Adam, then takes off out of his room towards the phone) Lisa: he is right...shower sounds good...hey Marcus, could you drop me off at my house? Marcus: sure! Lisa: great! (chase's kitchen) (chase grabs the phone in a big hurry) Chase: hello?....oh Mcelvy! How did u get my number??....oh, right, phonebook, guess they did invent those....yeah, about the party, no one exactly knows im going, and I want to surprise them...any chance in hell I can get a ride? (o.s) Lisa: chase, we're leavin! Chase: hold on a sec... (puts hand over phone and yells) alright, take care guys, call me! Lisa: kay, bye! Chase: ok back, sorry about that...seven, that totally works, ill be ready...ok...see you then...thanks, bye! (chase hangs up the phone) Chase: (to himself) I hope I'm doing the right thing! (int. josh's house) Kara: hey brat! (josh thinks: aw, shit! The sister is home!) Josh: (groggily rubbing his eyes) what are you doing up? Kara: its almost 10 moron (Kara thinks: geez Louise, somebody didn't get enough sleep last night) Josh: yeah, yeah, screw off! (josh thinks: does she always have to be such a wiseass?) Kara: (winking) did that already (Kara thinks: but I don't see his girlfriend anywhere, thought maybe she woulda spent the night last night seeing as how mom and dad went with Eric's parents) Josh: wait, wha? ...oooh...ewww...I don't need to hear about your dates gone bad!!! (josh thinks: there are just some things I did not need to know about my older sister...that being one of them) (Kara thinks: what does he mean by dates gone bad! That was a good date! Uh-oh, sumthin is botherin him, he has that look) kara: ok, first of all, if I slept with him, it's a good date, not a bad one josh: yeah, but its bad for my health kara: oh, shut up tweeb...(josh starts laughing) and second of all, where is your girlfriend Laura, I thought she was spending the night (josh thinks: oh crap , she suspects something!) (kara thinks: I wonder if they r fighting again) kara: have you two been fighting? Josh: not lately Kara: well then, what's the what? josh: I was really beat last night, guess I just didn't feel like going over to get her, then dealing with her talking to people on her cell phone while im trying to spend some time with her kara: sounds fair enough (the phone rings) Kara (excited) ill get it! (she jumps to get the phone) (josh gives her a weird look) (josh thinks: ill bet she thinks its last nights date calling her...10 bucks says it ain't) (kara grabs the phone) _ (Marcus's car) (Lisa hangs up her cell phone) Lisa: I'm kinda worried about Chase. Marcus: What's to be worried about? Besides the fact that he has no life as we know it, and the fact that he just came out of the closet. Lisa: Marcus! Breath slowly... Marcus: sorry, guess I'm just kinda worried myself. Lisa: guess it's not everyday something like this happens, but hey! Nothings changed, he's still chase, and he's still our best friend...isn't he? Marcus: Of Course! Why wouldn't he be? Lisa: I don't know... Marcus: you think Adam knows? Lisa: I think Adam is! Marcus: what makes you say that? Lisa: did you see the embers of infatuation those two were throwing off last night? If they were a heating element, I would have a tan by now! (they both laugh at this) Lisa: you think he's pissed? Marcus: Adam? Lisa: No...Chase. Marcus: Chase? Why would Chase be mad? Lisa: about the party, I don't think Chase got invited... Marcus: oh...well did you invite him? Lisa: well kinda...he averted the question...then I offered for us all to skip and be with him...and he was totally against it... Marcus: well maybe we should skip and surprise him... Lisa: yeah...maybe... Marcus: something else on your mind? Lisa: well...what if...oh never mind Marcus: what? Lisa: well what if Chase has a date, and just hasn't told us yet... Marcus: I haven't thought of that. Lisa: It crossed my mind a couple of times. Marcus: so what do we do? Lisa: well, we need to go to the party tonight, and give Chase some space for whatever reason he needs. (Lisa looks out her window) (we see a view of the outside...the view changes into a different set of outside scenery) (josh turns his head around from looking out the window) Josh: well? Kara: (disappointed) It was mom and dad calling to check up on us. Josh: haha! You thought it was your boyfriend! Kara: Oh Shut up! (One of these days I'm gonna tie him to the ceiling by his toenails) ...So whets for breakfast? Josh: You mean I have to cook?(Damn her!!) Kara: You are the youngest...(Sucker...hehehe)...I think I would like pancakes...with whipped cream, blueberry syrup, and strawberries. Josh: you are such a slave driver...I'll make the cakes if you fry the sausages and get the juice. Kara: Works for me (I wonder if chase likes pancakes.....I shouldn't even be obsessing over this...I'm not gay...I have a girlfriend...and chase is probably straight...I'm probably straight...aren't I?) (josh came out of his thoughts to see his sister giving him an odd look) Kara: are you sure your ok? Josh: Uh...yeah...I'm- I'm fine...just thinking bout tonight's party is all. Kara: Ok. (he's lieing through his teeth, there's always that one thing with siblings you can tell, for him, its his twitchy eye...and I'm not going to get the truth out of him until he is ready to come open about it, so I might as well drop the subject) (Kara Grabbed a frying pan out of the cupboard and closed it) (cupboard door opens, Chase's mom grabs a mixing bowl out of it) Chase: Mom...Please let me go! Mom: I'm not so sure about this Chase, you know your father and I are going to Aunt Marge's for the night so we can finish getting her moved in. Chase: I promise I won't do anything stupid...and Marcus and Lisa are going to be there...And Besides, you're the one who told me I should start getting out of the house more often, it's a perfect chance! Mom: But Chase...that's not exactly what I meant by it. Chase: but it's pretty close. Mom: I'm still not so sure. Chase: Marcus and Lisa will keep an eye on my like always. I promise. Mom: you really wanna go to this...don't you? Chase: Yes.. Mom: fine..you can go. (chase runs up and hugs his mom) Chase: thank you! - (shots of Lisa and Marcus getting ready for the party) (shot of Adam throwing rocks into the local pond) (shot of josh getting ready for the party, with his thoughts still on chase) (shots of chase changing his clothes...doing his hair...and headin out the door to meet Mcelvy in his car) (shot of chase smiling to mcelvy, and mcelvy smiling back at chase) Lisa: I hope we aren't making the wrong decision. Josh: God, my gurl is gonna be there, I can't get chase out of my head, what if someone figures me out?? Chase: Here goes...party...first outing...things are gonna change now. (next chapter -- the party -- chase gets more then he bargained for and josh has a choice to make)
