All rights of the story rightfully belong to me and myself only. Email me for further information. Email at johnathanseymour@hotmail.com. OMG, SO THAT WAS A KILLER EPISODE RIGHT? Well, it's not over yet, so we'll just have to see where things go from that point on. So how is everyone? Feedback people!!!! PLEASE. Chapter 5: The Healing Process, Sort of *Rob's POV* (One month later, at school) I couldn't believe the night that Julian walked in on Zane's cheating self! Well, I could but it was so surprising! I mean, first, we find out that Zane was a cheater and that with June's help, we smoked that bastard out into the eyes of Julian! Second, Julian broke up with that bastard for good! I was on top of the world that night because of it! I just could not believe how much attention I was getting from my beautiful baby! It was incredible! He was literally crying into my lap that night! I mean, I helped with the process of getting through the thought of his boyfriend cheating on him and all, but I could throw myself a whole party right now if I could! It was awesome to know that my baby was single and that I was going to make move and finally get him for good! I just needed time to get him used to the fact that I am more than just a friend. "You know, we have everything in motion. Julian's uncovered Zane and found out how much of a traitor his brother is. It's perfect," June said, bringing me back to reality. I looked her, leaning against the wall, texting. "Why do you say that?" She looked up from her phone, "You have every chance now. Julian is completely yours for the taking. He should be recovered from his depression phase now, it's been a whole month of no communication from him." Yeah, that sounds weird, but Julian has his own way of dealing with depression and sad times. He literally disconnects himself from people and avoids everyone for a month or so. He just sits in his room or the theater room, playing endless amounts of depressing music on the piano. Everyone here knows this, because this isn't the first time he's shut down on people. It happened when his dog died, he just zoned out for a whole month before he decided to talk and be happy again. Obviously, people at school knew this and had an idea of what might have happened with Julian. It was all over Facebook about it. They all just assumed that Zane had done something to Julian that caused them to breakup, not knowing the whole truth. People now and days have nothing else better to do. They just needed confirmation that it actually happened. They couldn't talk to me or June about it, because they were too scared that we would reprimand them for asking about the details of someone else's drama, and they couldn't ask Julian, because it was...well, talking to a wall–not replying at all. They tried to ask Kyan and Zane, but they declined to say anything obviously. I was assuming that they would say something about the matter, considering that Kyan hates Julian and that they were mainly involved in it. I guess they were just waiting on Julian to make a move to say anything. Guess they didn't want to say anything about it either, because June and I have not spoke to them or anyone about it. They didn't want drama yet. For the past month, Julian was so depressed about the whole thing. He just passed up hanging out with me or Keegan and said that he needed to practiced songs and was too tired to do anything. Poor thing. Keegan has been hanging with us and kept on asking questions about Julian and everything about him. I swear, it was like Keegan had a thing for Jules! But I was pretty sure that he liked girls though, at least from my point of view that is. This past month was so stressful without the company of Julian to accompany me. June was always out on secret meetings with guys or the sorts. Keegan was too busy working down at the café, so there was both of the people I wanted to hang out. The rest of my friends were a bore to hang out with–to me that it–always wanting to party and screw random, easy lays. I wasn't into that scene. I was into the scene where it involved my precious Julian in it. I have been pumping my bored time into working out, not that I needed it though, but I did look ten times more chiseled than before. Only looking good for when Julian and I have sex, taking his precious virginity. Other than working out, I was waiting patiently for Julian to get out of his depression eras. Cause I wanted to make him mine, and love him forever. I smiled, "You're so right, June. I finally get to have Julian. Gosh, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I finally get to be happy once and for all." She raised her eyebrow, "So thought of any ideas for your awesome date or way to make Jules not see you as more than a common friend?" I lit up at that, "Oh yes, I have. It's going to be at the Homecoming dance next Friday. I'll ask him to dance with me and then I'll kiss him. After, he'll be smitten by my love for him..." "Then you two are happily running into the sunlight together, am I right?" June finished. "Right," I started, "but enough with my excitement already, so how is your day so far?" She smiled, "Good, to say the least of it. I was dealing with some...business this morning, but it was nothing." I noticed the tone in her voice when she said the `business' part. It wasn't strange for her to act different and weird, but it was the way she said it that made it so mysterious. "Why'd you say that?" I asked, curious. "Look, our prince is coming. But with Keegan," she said, dropping the subject. I looked to my left to see Julian's beautiful self walk towards me with Keegan next to him. At first, I expected to see Jules still depressed and sad, but what I saw was a completely different time and place for him. It was like he wasn't depressed at all. I saw Julian happier than before, like he had a glow that kept shining. This was different than the other times when he was depressed. This time, something changed in Julian. "Good morning, Mr. Lanslaster. You look like you have a glow today," June said, as they approached. Julian smiled, "Morning June and good morning to you, Robbie!" "Morning," June and I said in unison. "Well, good mornings to me too," Keegan said. "Morning to you too, cutie." June said, with the flirting voice that she does most of the time. Keegan blushed, "Thank you." I dabbed Keegan, "Sup, dude." "So," June said, turning back her attention towards Julian, "looks like you're back from the eras of depression." Julian blushed from the obvious signs of his absence, "Well, I am. It was such a dark place for me. I just couldn't deal with the fact that my boyfriend of five years was actually cheating on me with my own brother! I just had to be alone for rest of last month. I needed time to process the whole thing and now I'm better. This time, I'm ready to move on with my life without Zane." I smiled, "Well, that's good. God, Zane was such a dumbass for ever doing that. What does he see in Kyan that he doesn't see in you?" "The bitch factor," June spoke, "Kyan's known for be the drama queen bitch of the sophomore class. People are threatened by him. Having him meant to Zane that he could be more popular than most. Also, the girls in the freshmen and sophomore classes would be all over him for being cute." "He's not so cute when he's sleeping around other people's brothers," I added. Julian continued to smile, unaffected by the mention of Zane. This showed that Julian probably was ready to move on with his life. "Well, I'm ready to start new and being single again. Actually it feels good to be free of being in relationship. Then maybe I'll start to see guys, but right now is time for me to be a single boy on the market," Julian claimed, smiling brightly. What the hell? Did he just say he wasn't ready to be in a relationship right now? This makes everything more complicated than it has to be. I'll just have to work harder at making homecoming the best thing he'll ever see. I might even have to consult with Student Council to see about doing something special for Julian. "Well, whatever you're ready, I'm sure you'll have many many guys lining up just to be with you, Jules. You don't even have to worry about looking, they're standing by idly waiting for you to say the words," June said, looking at me from the corner of her eye, grinning. She knew I was the first one in line for him. "Oh yeah, you don't have to worry about that," I responded, trying not to sound obvious. "Same page here," Keegan added. Keegan? Stay out of this. Jules is mine. It sounded like he was one of those guys. Julian blushed, "Thank you, guys. I really appreciate it. But right now, I'm looking to have fun and rub in the fact that I'm better off without Zane." "What made you think that? Like, when did you realize that Zane was sucking the life out of you?" June asked. "Well, it was while I was on a dat...I mean hanging out with Keegan here. We talked and he just made me see that there's more to life than with Zane's non-caring ways," Julian answered with happiness in his voice. "Oh, so you two are talking to each other in secrecy now?" June asked, curious. Julian and Keegan blushed, obvious that they were too embarrassed to admit that they were basically on a date. Shit, what did they do on this date? I knew that Julian had an obvious attraction towards Keegan, but it was confusing to me if Keegan was gay or not. I hoped he wasn't and that it doesn't get in the way of me winning over Julian. "No, no, no. It's not like that, June. We were just watching a movie and went home after that. Just as friends," Julian replied, laughing. "Yeah, it was a friend thing. He showed me around the town a little, it wasn't a date. Because if it was a date, then we would have kissed," Keegan said, half-heartedly. I don't think he was telling the entire truth about the events of this date, or friend hangout thing. "Sure," June said, sarcastically. It was awkward for a moment, until some guys passed by us and stopped to make conversation with Julian. It was some of the guys from the soccer team, Joey, Kyle and Scott. They were nice guys who I sometimes hung out with, back when I was starting to like sports in middle school. I knew Joey's parents because they worked with mine, Kyle's girlfriend is one of the cheerleaders, so I knew that from June, and Scott was a new guy that came to Shawnmory at freshmen year. I think Scott used to date some cheerleader or something, but I wasn't sure. Joey was a senior with us, Scott was a sophomore, and Kyle was a senior as well. "So, I heard about what happened between you and Zane. It must so sad," Kyle said, putting his hand through his dark raven-hair. Julian rolled his eyes, happily. "Oh, well me and him are over. It was just time for me to move on with my life once and for all." Kyle smiled, "That's cool, dude." Scott decided to speak up, "So what happened really?" "Well, I found Zane in bed with my brother, so I decided upon that that I was ready to left him." Julian said. "Ouch," Joey responded, ruffling with his short, dirty-blonde curls. "Ouch is right, I know Kyan, because we have classes together and all. I can't believe he would do that to you. He's nothing like you," Scott said, his freckles noticeable under fluorescent lights. "It's okay, I've move on," Julian replied. "Well, it was evident. You were mentally M.I.A last month. But it's good to see you back in the action," Kyle said. Julian blushed, I remembered when he used to have the biggest crush on Kyle back in seventh grade. He was always hoping that Kyle found what he truly wanted between girls or guys, but that never happened. Now they were just friends. "Damn, well that bastard back then was no good and he still isn't till this day," Joey said, looking relief and happy. It was weird. Oh! That's right! Joey and Julian dated back in sixth grade, then they broke up when Zane came along and swoon Jules away from him. I forgot that, it was so long ago. Joey had so much feelings for Julian and still does this day. He barely dates anyone anymore, probably thinks that he'll get Julian back–fat chance–so if there was anyone who hates Zane more than I do. It'd be Joey. "Thanks Joey, I appreciate it," Julian said hugging Joey. I'm pretty sure that Joey was getting horny from that hug. I know I would if I were him. "Your welcome," Joey said, returning the hug. "So we'll see you guys later, kay? We're here for you ok, Julian?" Kyle said, hugging Julian. "Yeah," Julian said. Keegan spoke up, "Are you guys on the soccer team?" Kyle spoke up, "Yeah, who are you?" "Keegan Anderson, new student," he replied, extending his hand out for a handshake. Kyle smiled, "Oh yeah, I heard about you. Nice to meet you bro. You're from New Orleans right?" Keegan gave him a confused face, "Oh how'd you know that?" Kyle laughed, "My girlfriend's on the cheer team and words gets around here fast." Keegan smiled, "Well, that's cool. But yeah, I wanted to see when the soccer tryouts are." Kyle, Scott, and Joey looked at each other and smiled, "Yeah, we need more players. Can you play?" "Yeah, I was captain of in my old school." Keegan replied. Kyle's eyes widened, "Damn. Alright, we got a new player. By the way, I'm the captain of Shawnmory's. Come on, we're going to meet the rest of the team right now if you want to come." Keegan smiled, "Sure. Umm, guys I'll see you later then." Keegan the soccer guys started to walk off in the other direction, talking about the team and soccer. "Alright!" Julian shouted at them. "Well, that was odd," June said, when we were clear of the guys. "Why?" Julian asked. June looked at him with a stupid look, "Umm, your ex and ex-crush talking to you together. Awkward much?" Julian rolled his eyes, dramatically. "Oh pretty, Joey and I are just friends now and I `used' have a crush on Kyle. That's ancient history." "Sure," June said, rolling her eyes. "Like you wouldn't take the chance to jump his bones. You were obsessed with him." Julian blushed and laughed, "I couldn't help it. He was cute back then, not that he isn't now. I just don't feel like that towards him anymore." "He had braces back then," June said, reapplying her lip gloss. "It's not my fault I had a thing for guys with braces back then. Plus, he looked really with them," Julian replied. "Wow, braces turn you on huh? Why didn't you think I was cute when I had them?" I said, remembering when I had to wear braces. I looked so ugly with them on. Jock looks and geek gear did not mix well together. "Oh you're my best friend. I didn't think of you like that," Julian replied. "But you probably didn't say that when you were looking at Kyle in the locker room during gym, right?" I said, getting in his face. "Oh whatever. I don't feel that way anymore," Julian said, turning away from me. "So, I wondered how Joey felt about the whole Zane thing. I can imagine he's happy as the next guy is," June said, bringing up a good subject. Julian had a confused look, "Why would he be happy that Zane and I broke up?" "He still has feelings for you dummy." she replied. Julian looked awkwardly at the ground, knowing that it was subject he was uncomfortable to talk about. "Yeah, I know but I don't what to do. Oh my god, what if he asks me to Homecoming?" Julian asked, having a serious face. What the fuck? Now Joey's my other competition, along with other gay guys at this school? Ugh, this day couldn't get any less worse. June's face lit. "Oh, well. He's probably not the only one, waiting to ask you. I'm pretty there are guys right now that are making ideas to ask you." Julian rolled his eyes, "Oh please. I'm not a drop-dead beauty." "Really? You're so beautiful, Julian. You've been in the Yearbook for hottest guy twice!" I said, noting that I was in it for hottest guy last year. "Well, I guess. But I don't know who I'm going with," Julian said, thinking. ME! Go with me! I was screaming in my mind for me to say something, but I didn't. "So any good ideas for who?" was all that left my mouth. Julian smiled, "Yes! Oh my god, so like I really want to go this guy that I've talking to." "Who's that?" I said, scared to know the answer. June could see this and was enjoying it. "Okay, but you can't tell him though. It's Keegan. So the date was awesome and we were on the lover's cliff thing and then we were kissing and stuff before Rob interrupted." Julian said. I wanted to kill myself then and there. I couldn't catch a break right? I tried so hard and now he was going to try to get someone he just met? Now my newest friend was sweeping my future husband off his feet and away from me. "Oh, that sounds interesting. I'm sorry that I interrupted your kissing," I said, sort of hurt. "No, I'm pretty sure you saved me from having sex with him. I didn't want to sex on a cliff, it's too scary and cliché," Julian replied. "So, you're going to ask Keegan to Homecoming? How nice. You're showing the new kid what it means to be a student at Shawnmory," June said. "Yeah, gosh he's so cute! I mean, I'm so tired of the preppy boy type. Keegan's all tough and bad boy, something new and sexy. You know what I mean?" Julian said. "Yeah," June replied, "I mean, I was totally going to bang the fuck out of Scott, but Keegan's cute." "June," I said, "you're sounding too slutty." She rolled her eyes, "Oh please, I don't care. I'm a high-class hoe okay?" "But yeah, umm. I'm going to talk to you guys later kay? I have to make the morning announcements," Julian said, walking to another destination. "Alright, see you then!" I said, waving to Julian walking away. "You're so pathetic," June said. "How?" I asked. She scuffed, "You're the one who's not taking the chance with the one you want. Now Keegan's got Julian around his fingers." "Oh whatever, I'll just have to work ten times harder at getting him to want me as a lover," I replied. "How do plan on doing that then?" she asked. I smiled, "Let's just say, we're having a different homecoming court this year." Oh yeah, I was going to go there. *Keegan's POV* (After 1st period class) Oh my fucking god! Last month was a fucking rollercoaster for me! I mean, the whole thing with date/hanging out thing with Julian. At first, it was just starting off as a date, then we ended up on the cliff when I go to chill at. Of course, we just talked as friends and kept it PG rating, but then I playing around with him and caught him before he fell off the cliff. Then I made a bold move, and kissed him. Then, it turned into a XXX rating with the grinding and tongue kissing. I mean, he was on top of me, which by the way is the favorite position. I loved it when a girl or guy can ride a dick, especially mine. I thought I was going to score, but then Rob had to ruin my fun and everything. I wasn't really mad though, because Julian didn't look like he wanted to have sex or anything. It was good–I would like to call it a date since there was kissing involved–for the fact that Julian was being so good and nice to me. We even talked about my issues and "part" of my history in New Orleans, which was surprising on my part. Because it was something that I rarely talked about to people. I barely talked to Katherine about it, and she was my sister! I didn't tell Julian everything because I started to cry like a bitch–note to self, never cry when you're the bad boy! I just told him about Maria and what happened with her. I never thought I would ever mention her again, she was so special in my life. I spend months and months depressed and having sex to put off my emotions. I was an asshole to a lot of people. It was a bad place for me then, but now I get to start something new in a new place. I was going to start anew with Julian. He was the guy that I wanted. As I was walking to my locker to get books for my second period class, I bumped into someone. I was knocked down due to their larger body size. I shook my head and looked up to see that it was Joey, one of the guys of the soccer team that I met in the morning. He was a cool guy, along with the rest of the team, but we didn't talk that much. I was busy talking the rest of the group and about my soccer trophies. Joey was a big guy, he was tall and buff. He had short curly dirty blonde and looked like Alex Pettyfer. I bet girls are all over him. He had blue eyes and really really nice skin. I mean, perfection. He was wearing a tight-fitted shirt that showed off his muscles, noting that he probably worked out a lot to look the way he was. Overall, he was the celebrity-hot type of guy. "Oh I'm sorry dude!" he said, extending his hand for me. I took his hand and pulled myself up, "Nah, it's okay. I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking to. You're Joey, right?" He smiled, "Yeah, that'll be me. You're that new guy that wants to try out for the team right?" I nodded, "Yeah, Keegan at your service." He chuckled, "So how you liking our school so far, Keegan?" I walked over to my locker, which was like inches away. I opened it and place my books in there as I spoke. "It's great! I mean, it's definitely better than where I was before." I replied, organizing my messy locker. "That's cool. We're glad to have you on the team, maybe our losing streak might end with you on the team," he said, holding a notebook in his right hand and his bookbag over his left shoulder. It was like he was posing for the school calendar, I'm pretty sure girls here would buy it. "I'm sure you're team isn't bad," I replied. "Oh yeah, we suck. We need someone new," Joey said, leaning against the locker. "Well, we'll just hope for the best then," I answered. "Hey, Keegan. I was wondering are you going to Homecoming next week?" he asked. I looked at him, "Yeah, why?" "Oh, so who you're going to go with?" he asked, more curious. "Um, I'm going to ask Julian," I answered. His face looked like he got hit by a four-wheeler. "Oh." I raised my eyebrow, "You okay bro?" He shook his expression off, "Um, it's nothing. It's just that Julian and I used to date." I widened my eyes, realizing that I just told one of Julian's exes that I was taking him to a dance. Oops, I didn't know Julian's exes so I wasn't surprised by it much. I kind of assumed that Joey was one of the types of guys that Julian would date. "Oh, I'm sorry. Did you want to take him? Cause you can," I said, trying not to piss him off or anything. He laughed, "Nah, I mean, I still love him but he doesn't have feelings for me anymore, so it's cool dude. Take him, I'd rather you than that douche bag Zane," he said. I could tell in his voice that he still had a lot of feelings for Julian. You could hear in his voice and in his facial expressions. I felt bad. "Oh thanks dude, so if you don't mind. What happened between you two?" I asked, closing my locker. He looked straight ahead with no clue at what he was looking at. "Well, we were together and then we broke up because I thought he was cheating on me with Zane. Then Zane took the chance and stole him away. Zane was waiting for me to break up with Julian. The bastard broke his heart now..." I put my hand on his shoulder, "Well, I'm sure Julian's happier without him." He smiled, "Well, as much as I want to get back with Julian, I can tell he has his sights elsewhere." I had a confused look, "Oh? Who?" He smiled, and looked to see what was behind me. "Well, I'm gonna get to class, Keegan. Tell Julian I said hey." Then he walked off, as I heard Julian's soft humming coming towards me. He probably didn't want to deal with the awkwardness with Julian. "Hey, Keegan," Julian said, as he opened his very organized locker. He had masses of papers in his arms. He was such a high achiever. "Hey, Julian," I replied, happy to see him. He smiled, "So what's up? I saw you with Joey awhile ago." "Oh, he just wanted to talk to me about soccer and whatnot," I said, not mention the Homecoming and past history between them part. He nodded his head a little, "Oh well. I'm glad, so about the whole last month not talking to anyone. I'm sorry for not returning your calls and messages. I didn't mean to do that, but I just have my own way of dealing with situations...like Zane." I nodded my head, "It's okay. I understand. Everyone has their own way of dealing with things. You just have a very unique way of doing that." Julian blushed, which was so cute. "Well, I'm back in action now. I'm ready to be again." "Yeah," I said, "so about that one night. The kissing and touching, are there going more of that?" Julian blushed even harder, almost embarrassed. "Well, I don't know. You're just going to have to prove to me that you're worth of getting more." I got in his face, "Really? Cause I'm sure that I was worth when you were all on my dick." Julian's face got red, "Well, we'll talk about that later then. I have class." "Okay, I'll be waiting in the theater room after second period," I said, in the most sexual voice I could possibly find. He smirked, "Well, I'll be there. See you later sexy." Then he walked off to his class. I kept staring at him as he walked away. He had a very perky ass, yum. Oh god, I was horny. *Kyan's POV* (In second period class, talking to friends) I sat in my second period Math class, aggravated as fuck. I really wanted to see Zane. I wanted to have sex and more sex with him. I was horny as fuck, but no, I was sitting here learning about special triangles and shit. Talk about boring as the fuck. Then to make matters worse, Julian's out of his depression stage and was probably mad as fuck. I know he was going to have my head on a stick when he decides to come after us. But I would let that happen yet. I was going to drop a bombshell on Julian and make that bitch really suffer, but now yet though. I have to let the whole news about the cheating shimmer down a little then he was really going to know the BIG secret. I realized someone was tapping on my shoulder, I turned to see it was that stupid boy the other day with dumb flowers thing. Man, that was so funny. Gosh, I wish someone would have recorded that. I would put it on YouTube just to farther embarrass this desperate guy. It was so funny that some people are so desperate. I was really bothered by it. "What?" I asked, showing that I was annoyed. He looked nervous for about what he was going to say, "Um, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for giving you those flowers the other day. I didn't know you had someone else." I rolled my eyes, "There no excuse for that. You should have known, you freak. Plus, I have flowers and shit, so I would done the same thing even if I was single. You're a pathetic dumbass you know that?" He looked like he wanted to cry again, I WANTED him to cry again. To let him know that I wasn't playing and that I never want to speak to him again. Unfortunately, people heard the conversation and turned around to listen. Then, Lacey, a girl that was one of Julian's beta friends, raised her eyebrows. Her face bothered me, I couldn't stand anyone who was friends with my brother. It bothered me a lot, because they were all dumb for being friends with him when they could have been friends with me. "What?" I asked Lacey. She raised her eyebrows, "You are a horrible person, just like what people have been saying on Facebook." I gave her a dumbfound look, "What are you talking about?" She gave me a dumb look, "Are you serious? You're a whore for sleeping with Julian's boyfriend. That's low, even for you. I always thought of you as a nice person but for what I've seen. You're just a horrible bitch with nothing to do but screw people over." I started to speak, but my friend Jenny spoke for me. "Look, Lacey. You're horrible for even believing those rumors on Facebook and Zane been wanted to leave Julian, but Julian's too clingy. If anyone's the horrible person, it's Julian for not letting Zane go. It just so happens that Zane wanted Kyan. If anything, he made the right choice. Kyan's a great person." "You took the words right out my mouth best friend," I said, high-fiving Jenny. Lacey scuffed, "Pretty, you two are the shallowest bitches in this school. I'm surprised anyone would consider dating you two at all." "Well, get away troll. You're making my makeup crack," Jenny said. Lacey rolled her eyes and turned around, paying attention to the lesson at hand. I looked at Jenny and nudged her in the shoulder, she was a true friend. At least she believed in me. "So how are you and Zane?" Jenny asked me. I smiled, "Better than ever." She smiled, "That's good, so what do you plan on doing to Julian to get back?" I grinned at her, "Well, I'll tell you later. It's a long story." I had to lie to her. No one could know the truth yet. I didn't even tell Zane the whole truth yet. I wasn't about to tell her the whole truth. She had a big mouth, so she would only know the surface of it. I threw a paper ball at that stupid kid who likes me. Pathetic. *Julian's POV* (Hallways after the bell for second period rang) Gosh, what can I say? I found out my boyfriend of five years has been cheating on me, and with my brother too! I couldn't believe that it was actually true! That Zane was a cheater, but his actions proved otherwise. I was so shocked and heartbroken, I couldn't even speak to anyone. So I didn't...for a whole month. It's my way of coping with things like that. I take time off from reality and play music to help me process the thought of heartbroken and that Zane was a two-timing bastard. But no fear, I am back and better than ever! I feel stronger than before. I guess being with Zane all these years has put a strain on me as a person. I'm trying to be me again, that boy who was fun and silly. I missed being me. I didn't realize this till I actually ended it with Zane. He was draining me of myself and that I was losing me in the process. I guess that our breakup was a wake-up call for me. I cried for four days straight, thinking that I could never live without him, but I eventually braved up and decided it was time for me to move on with my life and be me without having to sacrifice any part of me for anyone. Then there was my brother, the other woman of the whole affair. I just couldn't believe that he was the one that Zane cheated on me with! I was just taken completely by surprise on this one. I never thought Kyan would ever do that to me. I knew we had our differences, but not enough to sleep with my boyfriend. Then again, the school's drama queen and head of the drama club, noting that he was in the cliché where he was the "mean girl". I was so surprised by it though. I never thought he would ever do that to me! But I guess people don't start to show their true colors until later. I guess I saw it then and there. Plain old evidence in front of me, naked too. Also, that was the first time I've ever seen Zane completely naked. I mean, I've seen him shirtless before, but not ass and cock hanging out. Even though he was an ass for cheating on me, I would still tap that. Nice ass. I guess you can see that I really wanted to see revenge but all I'm worried about right now is Homecoming. I really want to know who's asking me. I really, really wish Keegan would ask me, because I really want to get to know him better. I also really liked him, remembering back to the sexual car encounter where we were kissing and grinding. I couldn't wait till I get into the theater room, there's going to more than playing music in there if you know what I mean. As I walked to the direction of the theater room, my worst encounter was about to come true. Coming the opposite direction, was Zane walking towards me. Crap, I didn't want to talk to him. I was too happy to deal with him today. I needed another excuse to avoid him. Luckily, I saw Chase with him. He was wearing a khaki shorts and an navy blue, Abercrombie shirt that was a little tight on his muscles, he had some muscles underneath. Also, to compliment his style of dressing, he was wearing a red and black snapback and dark brown Sperries. Strangely, he didn't gel his hair up today, but he still looked really cute. As I got closer to them–thank god–Chase said something before Zane. "Hey babe, what's going on?" Chase said, walking up to me with arms open. Apparently, Zane hadn't told him the whole truth, so he didn't know. I decided to randomly hug Chase, letting him do what he wants in order to avoid conversation with Zane. Chase was surprised that I didn't repulse from him as usual. He hugged me tight and let go. But Zane was still standing there. "Hey, you decided to hug me today. You must be really happy today," Chase said, smiling at me. I didn't want to talk to Zane, but he was still there. Bingo! I knew what to do! A little taste of revenge couldn't hurt anyone, except Zane. I grabbed Chase and set my lips on his. I was sure people turned around to look at what just happened. It was a literal WTF moment. I could feel Zane's surprise behind Chase and I knew he was jealous. I knew Chase was immediately getting horny from the surprise, but it didn't mean anything. I was just doing this to piss off Zane and avoid him. Then I proceed to tongue, in which Chase was already completely into, the dirty bastard. Not surprising, Chase was a really good kisser, considering that he's dated a lot of people. I was giving this bastard the best tongue I could put out. I wanted Zane to miss out on what he lost. As Chase and I shared this seemingly long, and fake-passionate kiss, I heard people pull out their phones and started to whisper to each other forming gossips and possible things to put on Facebook and Twitter. I didn't care, this was going to affect Zane more than it did to me. He was the asshole that cheated, not me. Then Chase and I released the fake kiss–fake to me that is–feeling like I did something great and noble. I felt great to get back at Zane a little. Just the look on his face, was enough to make my day. Chase bit his lips, kind of hot, and grinned. "Damn, Zane you lost a good one. That was a fucking hot kiss, Julian!" I smiled and patted his face before walking off, passing Zane as I felt his rising angry course in him. I had just did it. I pissed off the asshole. "Where you going, Jules?" Chase shouted, sounding hurt and horny at the same time. He sounded hurt that I was faking the kiss. Without turning around, I waved at Chase. "You know my number, Chase." I walked as people clapped in applause and laughed Zane's humiliation. I felt proud of myself, I was becoming Julian Walter Lanslaster again. By the time I got to the theater room, I wanted to sing a song. Time to pull out the piano and play one. And I knew exactly what to sing. *Keegan's POV* (Walking down the hall towards the Theater Room) As I approached the theater room, I already started to hear piano sounds resonating through into the hallway. I smiled as I knew what song he was singing. I opened the door to see Julian singing while playing the piano. He looked so right up there, with every stroke of the finger made a beautiful sound that played music to my soul. I was enchanted by the music that Julian was playing. As Julian played, he saw me coming to sit down in the front row. He smiled and continued to sing. I listened to the song he was playing and I immediately understood why he was singing it too. This is the part of me, That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no. This is the part of me, That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows, But you're not gonna break my soul This is the part of me, That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no. He stopped singing and closed the piano. He turned in his chair and smiled at me in the front of the theater. I clapped, "Hey that was good, but I didn't know there was a slow, piano version to that. By the way, I totally thought you were a pro up there." He smiled and blushed, "Well, thanks. I was channeling my inner Katy." I laughed, "Well, I prefer rock n' roll, but pop sounds with you." "Wow, you don't look like the type to enjoy pop or any classical music," Julian walking down the stairs. "Well, I don't but you make it sound bearable," I replied, leaning back in my chair. "Thank you," Julian said, sitting on me, right on top of my cock. Damn, he was being a little slutty today, isn't he? But I didn't mind, it felt good. "But I'm not falling for flattery," he said, moving his ass little, making my cock hard. He kept his green eyes on mine, looking at me with lust. I kept my breathing at a normal level, trying not to get phased by this obvious turn on. Gosh, what is Julian doing? First, he's playing the piano and now he's sitting on my lap like he was riding my dick or something. I swear it was weird and so random, but I liked it. "Damn, you're so fucking hot," I replied, barely. He smiled, "Well, I can more." Then he placed his lips on top mine, kissing me. Damn, this was even hotter. I mean, it was hot to be making up with someone I like, but inside a theater room at school? The risk was such a thriller. He was a good kisser as I swept his mouth with my tongue. Our tongues mingled and played with each other, not taking a break in between. He bit my bottom lip softly, such a fucking turn on! I put my hands on his ass, fuck so perky and nice. I just wanted to rub my hands all over them, squeezing those cheeks made me even more hot and bothered. Then as I playing with his ass, he let of the kiss and started to kiss my neck. It felt so good to have his hot breath on my neck and him leaving an impression on there. I was probably receiving hickeys at this point. "Fuck, it's like you're a Lolita," I moaned. He chuckled sexually, "Wow, pulling out some old school terms?" I chuckled back, "Well, I wanted to earn more kisses." He smiled and blushed, "Well, you earned it." I laughed and decided it was a good time to ask Julian about Homecoming. This was a good moment now or never. "So," I said, still feeling him suck on my neck, "who are you going to Homecoming with?" He got up and raised his eyebrow, "Really? Homecoming's like next week, you're going to ask this now?" I shrugged my shoulders, "Hey, I just wanted to know." He smiled, "Well, for your information. No, I don't know who I'm going with yet." I smirked, giving him that secret look in which only meant that I was happy about something. "What?" he asked, as if knowing what I was about to say. "I really want to take you to Homecoming, Julian," I replied, giving him the cutest smile I could give him. He blushed and thought about it for a second, "I don't know yet. How about I think about it and tell you the answer when I can think clearly?" I nodded, "What are thinking now?" He grinned and went back down to kiss me, "About you and how good it feels to be kissing you, Keegan Anderson." As we continued to kiss and tongue, I knew that Julian was the guy that I'll come to love forever. He was someone who I loved hanging out with and listen to me when I problems. Then he was a good friend and then he was someone who I had like a million feelings for. I think I found my soulmate. *Rob's POV* (Walking in the hallways to the cafeteria for lunch) As I was walking down the hall to lunch, I was thinking of Julian how I'm going to prove to him all of my unrequited love and devotion. I had an idea that might work in my favor. I might just pull a Glee! The episode where it's prom and Kurt wins Prom Queen? I might do that for Julian! I wouldn't be doing it to hurt him, I would be doing it to show how much I care about him and what I would do to show him. Of course, I didn't want to have anyone get angry or anything because Julian's a guy and he won, so I'm going to talk to the candidates of Homecoming and see if they're willing to let me do this. I want everyone to pinch in help me with this! I know this was going to be awesome and that Julian's going to like it. I just know it. As I was walking and thinking of all the cool things that I could add to it, my attention was caught by a scene happening in the hallways. I stopped to see three big guys, cornering a small guy by a set of lockers with people on the side lines watching idly. I came closer to see what was happening, a small, slender guy getting bullied by three big guys. He had short, light-brown hair that was styled in the front, and was wearing suspenders. He had the image of a cute nerd, but I guess he was into geek-chic stuff. He had light brown eyes and was really slender. If he was gay, he'd be considered a twink in our community. He was kind of cute, but not like my baby Julian. I realized I didn't know him, he was probably another new student at this school. "Are you a fag?" one of the guys asked, as he shoved the twink back into the locker. "Yeah, do you suck cock, fag?" another one said. The twink looked scared, but answered firmly. "Yeah, what's it to ya?" The tallest one of the three, grabs him by the collar, lifting him up off the ground. "Look, I don't like fags and don't appreciate how you look at me in gym. I don't want a fairy looking at me," he said, with venom in his words. The twink struggling to speak from the collar choking him, laughed. "What's so funny, faggot?" tall guy replied loudly. Twink smiled, "It's funny that you claim I stare at you because you think I'm checking you out. But really, you have too little package for anyone to look at." Tall one pulled up his fist, planning to land a blow on twink's face. I reacted immediately and jumped in, grabbing the tall one's arm before he swung. People gasped and was getting more interested in the drama that was taking place. The three looked at me with surprise, surprised at the strength I had to stop tall one's swung. Tall one looked at me with shock and surprise. Twink looked at me like I was his savior or something. "What the fuck are you doing?" tall one said. I forced his arm down, dropping twink down on the ground. I didn't mean to do that but I needed to make tall guy here, let go of him. He was hurting him. "I'm making you let go. Now, what the fuck are you doing bullying people?" I said firmly. He scuffed, "That freak right there is not a person. He's gay. He's a fag." That made me angry, "And? What about it? There's nothing wrong with gay people." He laughed, "Hell yeah, there's something wrong with them. I hate them and they make me gag. What is it to you? You a fag too?" I gulped, knowing that I was about to spill my secret to the whole entire school. I mean, not that I was ready or anything, this is not the way I wanted to out myself but it didn't matter to me. I was ready anyways, it wasn't like people would be surprised at the gay factor here. I smiled, "Yeah, I am. But what's it to you? You gonna try to beat the fuck of me? I dare you." He had a face of shock come across his face, along with gasps of bystanders. They were surprise then, but it was probably because they didn't expect it. I guess Facebook has a new subject to talk about now. I can imagine it now, "Robert Cadwell is a `mo!" It was pure gold. "Fuck, ya lie. Well, then the fags are together and are trying to stick up for each other. How cute. It fucking disgusts me. You're probably one of those guys who go to the gym and workout to see other guys' junks," the tall said, backing away. The other two, who were by the way followers, laughed along with him. Twink still sat on the ground, probably scared to get up. I suddenly remembered who they were, they were the guys who tried out for football last week. I remembered them, stumbling and struggling to keep up with the workout regimens for the team. I laughed, knowing that they were pathetic and that they were freshmen. They apparently didn't know who I was. "What fag?" tall asked, obvious not getting the joke. "You're those guys that were at the tryouts for football, right?" I asked, playing dumb. He started get annoyed, "Yeah, so what? Came to watch us practice, fag?" I laughed, "You really don't know me? I'm Robert Cadwell. Hi, I'm the quarterback." All three had a face of oh-shit smeared all over their faces. Now, they were shitting on themselves. They fucked with the wrong gay here. Yeah, I was the one to fuck with. "Oh, I'm sorry. Um, I didn't mean to bully him. Look, we were having a disagreement right?" Tall guy said, gesturing to Twink on the ground. Twink smiled, "No, I think you were bullying me for being gay." Tall one looked back up, "Look, it was a misunderstanding." "No, you misunderstood. All students of Shawnmory are to be accepted for who they are. But you're being the judgmental one here. So how about you getting the fuck out of my sight and away from me and this guy. In fact, stay away from anyone you feel uncomfortable around," I said, making myself clear. He looked like he wanted to attack me, but he wouldn't even dare. His pride was mostly hurt was all, homophobia people now and days. "Yeah, whatever." He replied, as he tried to walk pass me with his posse. I pulled up my arm to stop him in his tracks, "Oh, and I would listen if I were you." "Why," he asked, lowering his tone. "Because I get to choose the rookies that come in," I said, putting down my arm. He gulped, then walked away silently as his friends followed behind him. I turned around to see Twink get up and walk over to me. He was really cute much closer. He had really lush lips that you want to bit on. Then his brown eyes are so honey, you just wanted to swim in it. Then he had a really nice, slender body that I just wanted pick up and throw over my shoulders. Maybe it was me, but I was into twinks and guys that were smaller than me. I couldn't date another jock, because it seemed too much or trying to date someone like me. As a jock, I was attracted to twink's small, slim figures and their ability to be girly and stuff. I guess what I'm trying to say was that I wanted a woman/man relationship. I wanted someone to be the woman and I was the man. Twinks fulfill that woman role for me. Not to generalize that I wouldn't date another jock, but twinks were my preference though. I extended my hand to shake his, "Your welcome, Robert Cadwell at your service." He took my hand and shook it, his hand all smooth and soft. He laughed, "I know you, thank you though." I raised my eyebrow, "Really? I don't know you." "I'm in your Medical Studies class, right behind you," he said, smiling and showing his colorful braces. They looked great on him. It was like he was a really cute nerd. I would tap that. "Oh! I know now, um...Liam Thomas, right?" I said, remembering him sitting behind me and us having an experiment project two weeks that we were randomly partnered for. I couldn't believe that I didn't know him. He was a gay junior, and play of the theater club or something. I bet Julian would know who he was and what things he's in. He smiled, "Yeah, um thanks for saving me back there. I thought I was going to have to head off the nurse if he hit me." I smiled back, "No problem. Those guys won't mess with you anymore." "Okay, now we formally meet, considering that we only talked in class," he said. "Yeah, nice to meet you, Liam," I replied, feeling weird. What was this feeling? Was I starting to like this guy? No, I was in love with my best friend, Julian. I just met this guy, and I only helped him out. But I kind of liked him. *Julian's POV* (Lunch, waiting at the table with June) As I placed my plate down, I saw that Rob wasn't' here yet. That was strange, because Robbie never misses lunch. It was favorite part of school–mainly because of the fact that he was a big guy and that meant he needed to eat a lot. I saw that June was in her spot as usual, eating her salad. "So where's Robbie?" I asked, wondering. She shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, probably doing something important if he's going to miss lunch and you know how much that means to him." I laughed, "I guess, so how are you?" She smiled, "Good, but where's our bad boy, Keegan?" I smiled, remembering the make-out session back into the theater room. Gosh, Keegan was soo right. I was being a Lolita today. First, I made out with Chase and then basically dry-humped Keegan back in the room. What was wrong with me? Maybe, this is the after effects of the breakup. That I needed to have someone love me. Maybe... "He said he wanted to get to know the soccer team better. But he's probably kissing ass, so he can get in," I said, biting into a french-fry. She nodded, "Well that's what it seems like. Maybe I should too, Scott's kind of cute..." she said, looking over at the soccer team's table. I faked a shocked gasp, "Jane! I could not believe you are going after Scott Hales? You're going after a sophomore, you know that right?" She grinned, "Well, he's cute. He looks like a puppy that needs the June's special treatment." I chuckled, "Wow, that's classic. What a cougar." Her face became concerned, "Oh you called me Jane awhile ago? Don't call me that again. I go by June now." I had a confused face, "Why?" Why would she not want to be called Jane? I mean, that was her name, but I did remember last year, she suddenly forced everyone to call her June and no longer by Jane. I wondered why... She looked at me with a weird look, "There are some things that are better off unknown, okay? Now eat up, or you'll be eating up Keegan's sperm as your dinner." I spit a little milk out, shocked by her joke. I grabbed some napkins out the dispensers and wiped my mouth. "That was interesting, considering that we're eating lunch, June." I said, a little embarrassed by the joke about Keegan's sperm. She grinned, "Well, you and Keegan seemed to be hitting it off really well. I think you two make a great couple. Plus, he's hot." I blushed, looking at Keegan with his soon-to-be teammates. "Thanks, but guess what?" I said, remembering something. She leaned in, "What is it?" "Keegan asked me to Homecoming!" I said, excited. She smirked, "That's great! So what did you say? Yes, or no?" "Well, I told him I'd think about it," I replied. She had a confused face, "Why? Do you like him?" I shrugged my shoulders, "Yeah, but I just want to see whoever else is going to ask me. Cause I don't want to regret my saying yes and then want to go with someone else. I'll just have to wait to see who else is going to ask me." She smiled, "Well, look who's the whore now. Let me rephrase that, `attention whore'." I gasped, "Bitch. I'm just looking to see if there are any other offers around for the taking." She smiled, "Well look who's finally coming to lunch." I turn around to see Rob walking towards us, but he wasn't alone. He was with someone else, a twink-looking guy that looked familiar. Hmm, I couldn't put my finger on it. "What's up, guys?" Robbie greeted as he sat down with the twink that was following him. June smiled and then looked at the twink, "Hi, who are you?" I sat there and thought about who he was. He had light brown hair, light brown eyes, and was wearing suspenders. Damn, he had a sense of style. Also, he kind of reminded me of that new boy band going around. The cute, what's his name? Oh yeah, his name is Liam too. Interesting. Oh my god, of course. "Liam Thomas!" I said, interrupting them. They all just gave me a weird look, like I was dumb or something. I felt embarrassed and stupid for just bursting with the answer. "Um, I recognized you from Art class, you're the one who painted the Titanic, right?" I asked. Liam smiled, "Yeah, that'll be me. Nice to meet you, Julian. I was surprised you knew me, because people usually ignore me. And you're like a music prodigy, Rob's the school quarterback, and June's the captain of the cheer squad." I was flattered by his compliments on us, but I saw that it was pity thing to do. He was pitying himself and saying that we're better than him. I personally didn't like the pity party, but I understood where he came from. "Oh, it's nothing. I'm just really good with faces and all and why would people ignore you? You look hot and epically dress well!" I said, referring to his outfit. He laughed, "Well, people don't like me in the sophomore class because I'm gay and all." Rob and I looked at each other and laughed so loud, I thought that the whole cafeteria heard us. Liam looked a little embarrassed by our outburst of laughter towards the subject. "What is it?" Liam asked, a little shy. "Oh, I'm sorry but did you say that you were being bullied for being gay?" I asked. Liam's smile faded and I started to feel bad, knowing that he wasn't playing. "Oh I'm sorry, but that's hard to believe because Shawnmory is basically the gay-loving school," I said, thinking back on the years that I've ever been bullied. There were few. "It's changed. Sophomore and freshmen classes are the worst when it comes to being gay. They're so judgmental and they're such asses. They don't know what's right and wrong," Liam replied, picking at his food. Rob looked at me, "Yeah, I just saved him from three guys cornering them." "Did they want sex?" June asked. "June, not the time to pull a sex joke," I said, gesturing to Liam's hurt feelings. She raised her hands up, "Sorry, trying to lighten the mood in here." She pulled back to the attention of other guys who were obviously into her. I swear, it's like she had an endless amount of guys all on her. If it wasn't the football players, then it would be some guys from the soccer team. Or, the rest of the athletic clubs that this has to offer. "So tell us, how's it been since the beginning of this year?" Robbie asked, holding his hand. Awhh, that was cute. Maybe Robbie liked this guy, he probably has been crushing on him and hasn't told me. I would be so excited about him liking someone, especially with him coming out and everything. It would make perfect sense. Or maybe, he was trying to introduce us to his boyfriend? Whatever it was, I am happy for Robbie. At least he would have someone. God knows he hasn't dated a lot his whole life, except for the fact that he was drop-dead gorgeous. Still hard to believe that he was single throughout his high school years. I wondered why though? Was he waiting on something, or someone? I shook it off, "So Liam, welcome to our circle. We have more friends though." He smiled, knowing that he was at a better place with us than being by himself. He probably was happy that he found a new set of friends instead of dealing the rising homophobia in the lower grade levels. "Thank you, I needed a change in scenery," Liam said, smiling. "Your welcome and no problem dude," Rob said, smiling at him. Liam blushed, "Thanks to you that is." I smiled at the light flirting happening in front of me. "So, tell us. What is your life story?" I asked, wanting to get to know him. *Zane's POV* (Afterschool, hallways) "So dude, what's up with you and Julian?" Chase said, bringing me back to reality. I wasn't paying attention, I was too tired from working out with Chase awhile ago and thinking about the course of actions that happened over the few days and last month. First, Julian caught me with Kyan. I mean, I wasn't surprised, but I didn't expect Julian to just walk right into my sex time with Kyan. It totally caught me off-guard. Then people already started to know, and I received SO much hell for cheating on Julian. Oh god, it was like hell with people tell me that I needed to check myself, because I was an asshole. Then my parents didn't help either, my mom and dad loved Julian and didn't particularly like Kyan. So just say that they hated Kyan for being a bitch all the time. They loved Julian because he had class and was so headstrong. He and my mother were like best friends, so my mom was chewing me out since the day she heard the rumors of the scandal. Ugh, everything was difficult. Right now, I just wanted to get have sex with Kyan and talk about it to him. But no, his parents didn't want me anywhere near that their house and my parents felt the same toward Kyan. So I was screwed and wasn't getting laid. Fuck, life sucks, especially in this position. But I did it all for my Kyan. He had the best plans for us and only did things for me because he loved me. Getting rid of Julian made me realize that I was missing out on great people like Kyan and...other people that I didn't tell Kyan about. Shh, I was secretly cheating Kyan with someone else. He didn't have to know and I was pretty he would be fine with it, since he was into the whole open relationship thing. I decided to get a head start. "Hello? Earth to dick and balls." I heard Chase say. "What?" I replied, getting aggravated. "I asked what happened between you and Julian?" he asked. I also remembered that he locked lips with Julian today in the hallway in front of me! Julian's whore ass did that on purpose to piss me off. It worked too, because I was pissed at Chase for kissing back. "You heard the rumors right. I cheated on him with his brother. We broke up and we're not even speaking terms. Point blank." I said, not wanting to talk about it. "Why would you do that, Zane? I mean, I know you and Julian didn't have sex and all but that was kind of low of you," he responded. "Low how?" I asked. "You cheating on him. That was a dick move of you. You broke that boy's heart," he replied. I looked at the glass shelves in the hallway that held so many trophies of student achievements. I looked, seeing cheerleading, Beta, football, baseball, soccer, and then...music. It had Julian's name written on the name label. It was like the fates were messing with me. "So? What am I suppose to do? Mend his heart back? I don't care about him anymore, Chase. I cheated on him and I'm with Kyan now. I'm over him." I said, looking away from the trophies. Chase raised his eyebrow, "Does five years of being with him mean anything to you?" I rolled my eyes, "Fuck no." "Wow, I cannot believe that you can be such an asshole and a douche bag," Chase said. I scuffed, "Yeah, coming from a man-whore, who had his tongue down the throat of my ex after second period." Chase rolled his eyes, "Yeah, because he wanted to piss you off. I would too if I were him. You're a dick. And if he was mine, I'd care for him more than you ever did." I gave him a stupid look, "Fuck you, Chase. If you wanted a cunt for a boyfriend, then be my guess. Take the whore and fuck him. Like he would give you his virginity anyway. Actually, walk home. I'm fucking pissed at you." "Fine, don't call me tonight and ask to come over to play games. I'm so fucking sick of you!" he said, walking away. As I saw him walk away, fuck. I just pissed off my best friend and now I was the official asshole. Says my best friend. I punched the locker next to me, leaving a dent in it. I felt bad for whoever's locker that was. But I was pissed and needed to see Kyan. I pulled out my phone and called him. It rung for a few seconds before he picked up with a hello. He sounded kind of scared and aggravated. "Get your ass to a hotel now, I wanna fuck shit out of you right now," I said before ending the call. I knew he was going to be there. He wanted my dick badly too. *Julian's POV* (Walking in the parking lot, afterschool) As I walked to my car, I heard someone behind me calling my name. Oh god, please don't tell me that was someone who needed help with their car or something. I swear, I didn't know how to fix a car for shit. I remember when I had to call the police because I flattened my tire. Cars and me didn't match. I turn around to see Chase jogging towards me. Strange, he was the last person I'd expect to see here afterschool. He looked lost and in need of something. Oh god, he probably wanted more tongue kissing and probably to have sex with me. "What is it, Chase?" I asked, as he approached me. "Well, I just had a fight with your ex, Zane and he basically told me to walk home alone," he explained, trying to catch his breath from all that running down the parking lot. He adjusted his snapback and rubbed the side of his face that had stubs of hair on it. He had facial hair and that was kind of sexy. I smiled, "Oh really? Was it about me?" Chase smiled, "Yes, he told what happened. I'm sorry that that happened. He's a fucking dick." "Thanks," I said, smiling. He laughed, "So...can you drive me home?" I raised my eyebrow, "Really? You sure you're not going to take advantage of me and rape me?" He raised his eyebrow, "How could I do that now?" "You're bigger than me, so you can just hold me down." He grinned, "That actually sounds really good." I slapped his arm, "dick." "Not as bad as your ex," he replied. I laughed, I didn't know that Chase wasn't only a sexually guy, but he was funny too. I liked that. Maybe we could be friends or something. Maybe, he isn't the pig I thought of him to be. I pull out my car keys, "Come out, let's go." He smiled, "Thanks bro." As I parked outside Chase's nice large house, I noticed he didn't immediately get out the car. He just sat there thinking of something. Like he was looking for words to say to me. "What's up?" I asked, curious. He looked up at me, "I was just thinking. Maybe, I should stop being an asshole to a lot of guys I date. I don't want to be like Zane. Cheating is horrible." "I know right?" I replied, looking at the nicely trimmed grass of his front lawn. Damn, his parents pay a lot on the gardening. "So, I want to know. If you would like to go to Homecoming with me," he said. I was taken aback by it. Did Chase just asked me if I was going to Homecoming with anyone? Shocker! "Um, no," I replied, trying to not sound desperate. He smiled, "So do you wanna go with me? I know I'm an asshole sometimes and I treat you like my bitch or something but I really really like you and I think you're a great guy. Zane was stupid for cheating on you." I smiled, blushing at the fact that Chase just confessed his feelings for me. Not like they were too much of a secret anyway, most were sexually shown, but this was emotionally shown. I was shocked to see the asshole that serial dated people, to just settle for me. "Thank you and I think you're great too. But I'm still undecided for Homecoming," I answered back. He looked hurt, "Oh, well. Just know that I'm always a choice for you, okay?" "Why?" I asked, playing dumb. He smiled, "Well, I realized that you're someone I like a lot and if you were mine, I'd love you unconditionally. Julian, you make into a different person every time I see you. I don't know if that's good or not, but I like it. You're making me see the truth and fault in myself." I wanted to kiss him, but I couldn't. I had feelings for Keegan. I wasn't like Kyan or Zane who could lead people on with kisses and sex. I was better than that. "Well, I'm glad for that and I'm sure you care a lot, but we'll see. I think you're mother's trying to signal you with a flashlight." I said, pointing to the flashing light hitting the car windows. He laughed, "Yeah, that's her. But think about what I said. I'll see you tomorrow and maybe you'll reconsider my offer?" I smiled back at him, "Sure." He opened the door and left. As I drove off, I realized he had left his snapback in the car. I picked it up and smiled. Maybe I wasn't the only one that needed to be healed. Maybe, others needed scars that needed to be put to rest. I put his snapback into my bookbag. "Things are starting to look up," I said, smiling to myself as I heard Katy Perry's "Part of Me" come on. Perfect mood for my day. ------------------------------------------------------------- Damn, looks like things are heating up for Julian and everyone else!
