If you are offended and or totally against homosexuality leave now. Any resemblance to the characters and events are purely coincidental. "What? You love me? T...Tyler...I don't know what to say" "It's ok Bryan, I don't expect you to say anything. I just sprang this up on you and I'm really sorry." "Funny thing is Tyler...I love you too. Ever since I bumped into you and looked into your eyes I felt like you would be the one. I had to keep it from you because I didn't know if you were gay or not. For christ sake you went out with Rosie! And that solidfied the fact that you were straight in my eyes." "I had to, you know how hard it was for the 'track star' to keep his image? If people knew that I was gay, I would be ruined! But..." he said keeping his composure. "But I shouldn't care what people think of me, seeing you...how you did it, how you didn't care what people think. I want your strength Bryan." "I want your body..." I thought "I want you to know that from now on, that you are my rock. My foundation...and as cliche as it is, it's true. I can't imagine my life without you." "How can you after 5 years all of a sudden tell me that you love me? Since when did you care of what people thought of you? Was your image more important than how you really feel?" As I said this Tyler stood up and went to the door. "Tyler! Wait!" "I'm sorry that it took me a long time to finally tell you how I feel, I thought that telling you how I feel would make things right. I guess it didn't...it was a mistake telling you...I'm sorry" Tears came down his face, my heart wrenched as I watched him walk away from me. "What did I do? Why did you let him go like that Bryan! The love of your life has walked away from you because he didn't tell you earlier?" "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST DO BRYAN?!" just as that happend there was a slap behind my head. "OW! WHO THE HELL?..." I turned to see who hit me and it was Rosie. "Why did you let him go? He told you how much you mean to him and you had to say some dumbass remark? Did you know that when we were going out he came out to me? Did you know that he told me that he really liked you and he wanted to spend the rest of his life with you?" Rosie kept hitting me. "He came out to you while you guys were going out? "Yes..." she said calming down, "That was the same day we broke up too, he told me that he couldn't lie to himself any more. I wanted to be mad, but I couldn't. Why should I be mad at him for what he did? It took him a long time to figure it out and when he heard news that you were gay too, he had this huge smile on his face and he told me that he's goin after you to tell you that he loves you. But before he could you left for college." "What have I done? Rosie slap me again!" "No...now go out there and find him. I'll take care of the bill...just go" "Thanks! I love you Rosie you're a great friend" "Yeah Yeah...go! you're wasting time!" I ran out of there, his car was still here...odd. But i just remembered that there's a park 2 blocks from here. So I ran to it, and looked everywhere for him. I was about to give up until I saw a familiar figure sitting under a tree. It was Tyler...looking up at the sky. I went up to him, the moon lit up his eyes and I can see the tears still. I sat next to him and I put my arm around him... "Im sorry that I had an outburst. I just didn't know what to think. You know that I've had a crush on you on a long time and maybe when you told me how you felt I got scared. I really do care for you, I do love you. It was just a little too much you know? But im glad you told me." "You should be sorry!" he said with a smile. And with that he got closer to me, "I know I should have told you earlier but it wasn't the right time. Can we forget about it and start all over again?" "Sure". He reached over and held my hand, we gazed at the stars. My head on his shoulder, I can't belive that this is reality. Tyler Harris and I are an item! What he did next suprised me. "I've always wanted to do this to you Bryan" He looked at me, and he kissed me. My very first kiss, and it was with him. When he kissed me I can hear an orchestra playing. I knew that we were meant to be. Thanks for the comments you guys! Keep it up! thekeensingingfoolforyou@hotmail.com part 3 will be on it's way soon.
