I didn't really expect Tyler to tell me because I knew he was somewhat close to Jordan and him and I weren't that close, but I thought of all people, my boyfriend would be able to tell me who had hurt me. "Hey." Brennan said as he stepped into my room. "Oh. Hey." Since the break-up, I haven't really seen any of my friends besides Macy. I normally avoid them in the halls and I don't talk to them in class anymore. It's just embarrassing to tell them that the person I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with kept something so important from me. Macy was the only one who wouldn't take no as an answer so she harassed me day in and day out `til I finally broke and told her everything. We cried and hugged and the normal girly stuff, but we eventually manned up. "I heard. I'm so sorry." "Who told you?" "Mason. We were over at their house for dinner since our families want to start to get along better, and he stood up and explained to us what happened. The worst part of it all was when he was asking if we could forgive him even though he knew you never would. He's really crushed, Spencer. I'm definitely not saying what he did is right and you should just go running back into his arms, but he is in as much pain as you are. He's really lost everyone but his family. None of his football friends, besides Tyler, talks to him, and then without you he really doesn't fit in with our group so he's normally eating alone at lunch." "Well he should have told me. I know he was trying to protect me but I'm not a little kid. I want to be treated like an adult. And if you wanna keep talking about this you better get your ass over here because I may start crying soon and I need someone to hold." That made Brennan smile a little bit. He quickly got into bed with me and snuggled up against me. I forgot how nice it felt to have someone in my arms instead of being in someone's arms. "Will you at least talk to Mason? He thinks you hate him." "I don't. I love him. It's just...it's hard to explain." "Hey, it's okay. You don't have to know how to describe it. As long as you don't hate him. But if you two ever get into a fist fight, I'm gonna be on Mason's side. He's bigger and he's family so he's the smart choice." I rolled my eyes. "How come we can't date?" "Because we're too good of friends." "No. You don't really think we're friends do you?" I said sarcastically. "I mean like I love cuddling with you, it's so great. And then we also get along like nobody. But when I try thinking of us dating, I can't do it." "I know what you mean. Maybe life just wants us to be friends forever." "I'm going to stalk you when you realize how big of a dweeb I am and that you can do a lot better than me." "Don't say that! I like the dweeb in you. You make me feel cooler, that's why I'm friends with you." "At least I'm not a cheer qu-" "Don't you dare finish that statement." Brennan said as he rolled over. He had a smile on his face so I knew I wasn't about to ruin a friendship. "Say what?" "That q word." "What'll happen if I do?" "I'll...I'll tickle fight you." "Please. You're so puny, I could take you out easily." "Well, we'll see about that!" Brennan then jumped on top of me and we began to wrestle. I've never really been the wrestling type so it felt kind of awkward, but since it was with Brennan, it wasn't as awkward. Like I knew, I was able to pin Brennan. He was begging for mercy and begged to not be tickled. That was just something I couldn't do. I just had to attack his stomach. Brennan is an extremely loud laugher, but it was so cute. I finally stopped though when he convinced me he was about to pee on himself. I let him up and he quickly ran to the bathroom. I felt happy that I actually had friends. It made me wonder how the others were doing. -Daniel's perspective- "So, what are you and your boy gonna do?" I asked Kurt. "Will you please not call him that." Kurt said. I could detect a little pain in his voice. "What happened?" "He doesn't want to fool around anymore. He says he feels bad for sneaking around Hailie's back. And that makes me feel like shit because I was helping him cheat. What kind of person does that?" "Don't think of it that way, Kurt." I told him. "Even though you won't admit it, you were falling for him and you didn't think anyone else mattered. Everyone goes through that, especially bi guys like us who rarely have the chance to be with a guy because if you haven't noticed, we already know every gay guy at our school." "I kinda realized I was falling for him. People say sex comes after love, but I think love came after sex in this situation. I'm pretty sure Eric had started developing real feelings for me but he didn't want to accept the fact that he likes me." "I don't know why. You're such a sex god." I said sarcastically. "I know! If it wouldn't be awkward, I'd fuck you since you look like me and I think I'm super fuckable." "You are so fucked up." I said laughing. "Just sayin" Kurt said laughing. "What's so funny?" Dad asked as he entered our room. "Nothing. We were just being stupid." Kurt said. "When's Eric gonna be here?" Dad asked. "In a little bit." "When are you leaving, Daniel?" "Soon. Why do you want to know?" "Because. I'm having some friends over later." "Dad, when are you just going to admit to us you're seeing someone." Kurt said bluntly. "What are you talking about?" Dad said nervously. "You're always sneaking around and then the other day the shower was running last night when I went to get a midnight snack and both you and Daniel were sleeping." "Oh...well yeah. I've been seeing someone. Her name is Lisa. I just want you all to know that no one will ever replace your mom." "We know, Dad." I finally spoke up. "We're just happy that you're happy. Mom would rather have you with another woman than have you drinking yourself to death." "I guess you're right. I hate having to sneak around. At least I can finally be out about this." "Dad...there's something I need to tell you." Kurt started to say. "What is it? Is everything okay?" "Yeah...it's just...I'm bi." "And?" "And what? I'm bi." "I don't know if you noticed this or not but so is your brother. Why would you be any different?" "Well...I thought you would want kids." "There is still a like fifty percent chance I'll get kids. Even if both of you all end with guy then you all can always adopt or something. Like you all told me, Mom would rather have you with a guy than miserable with a girl." "Thanks Dad." Kurt said as he hugged Dad. "What happened to your beer belly?" "I'm working that off." Dad said. "Lisa didn't like it so I decided I should get rid of it." "How long have you two been dating?" "About two months. So last night wasn't like a first date or anything. And by the way she has been over here before." "Dad!" Kurt and I said together. "What?" "How can you bring a woman over here all the time and not tell us?" I asked. "Yeah! We want to know if our dad is drownin' in the-" Kurt began to say but I stopped him by hitting him in the stomach. Dad laughed. "You all can meet her tomorrow, okay? Let me talk to her about it." We sat and talked for a little bit more `til the doorbell rang. It was Eric. Kurt hugged me and Dad and then left. I so bad wanted to tell Eric to treat my brother right but I knew that would scare him off even more. I had to let him adjust to the idea that my brother was the one for him. A little while after Kurt left, I decided I should go myself. I was supposed to meet up with Macy and Kasey so we could go bowling. None of us know how to bowl so we knew this would be super fun. Dad offered to take me instead of me having to walk to Macy's to get a ride, she only likes like twenty minutes away but Dad wanted to be nice. When I got to the bowling alley, Kasey was already there. He told me Macy should be arriving soon. "So...do you know anything about Spencer?" Kasey asked. "No...he's kinda like blocked everyone out of his life." "I'm sorry, baby." Kasey said as he grabbed my hand. "Maybe he just needs some time to himself." "I hope so. Spencer and I have been friends for a long time and it would suck if all of a sudden he decided to not talk to me anymore." "I don't know why he would do that. You're so cute and funny and smart and adorable and sexy." I couldn't help but blush. "There is no way anyone could resist your charm." "Thanks, babe." "Hey!" Macy said as she ran up to us. Both Kasey and I gave her a hug. "It feels so weird with it just being us three." "Hopefully we'll have the whole gang back together soon." I said. "We better or else I'm going to like die from lack of awesome friends and an overdose of you two." Macy said. "That's not nice!" Kasey said acting as though he was five. "Neither s AIDS." "So now you're AIDS?" When I said this, Kasey bursted out laughing, which caused me to do the same. "You know what? Fuck the both of you. I'm going to rape you at bowling now. I was gonna hold back, but now you're going to get the wrath known as Macy." -Emma's perspective- Lately everything has been hectic for me. Austin and I have had a few fights here and there but everything is good between us now. My parents have been making me study all the time now that I have a B in math, yes, my parents are those kind of asians. When I'm not home studying I'm busy at rehearsals for the musical, I got the lead part so it's important I'm on top of things. There is literally barely any time for fun in my schedule now. "Hello?" I asked. A strange number had called my phone. My dad told me to always answer the phone no matter if I knew the number or not because it could be a college or something like that. "I'm looking for a Ms. Emma Chan." "This is her." The voice sounded familiar but I wasn't sure. "Ah. I would like to tell you that your boyfriend's phone is no longer in his possession and he had to use his home phone in order to call you." I couldn't believe I didn't know it was Austin! "Oh, will you tell him that his girlfriend is super mad at him and doesn't want to see him ever again." "Nooo! I mean....why would you say that?" "Because I love him so much that spending a day without him is hell." "Aww. I love you too baby." "Soo, what did you do this time?" "I got a C on a test." His parents are just like mine. I'm surprised we aren't like brother and sister. "That must've sucked. Why did you show it to them?" "I didn't. You see I'm homeschooled so my parents see everything I do." "That must be the most awesome thing ever." "Hush. It sucks so much. I just want to be an average teenager but they won't let me." "Well you're average to me and that's all that counts." "You are so mean to me." I could hear him smiling. "I don't even know why I put up with you anymore." "Because you love me?" "Nah. I stopped doing that like five seconds ago." "Well guess who's about to stop this conversation." "No! No! No! Baby! I love you! You make me so happy! I can't wait `til I get to be with you again." "You should ask your parents when you can come down. You're homeschooled so it's not like it would interfere with anything school related." "I know. But right now they're not happy with me so I should probably lay back and let things simmer down a bit before I ask." "That's understandable." "Can I ask you something?" "No. I don't like questions." "Okay. Well, I was wondering what your policy is concerning sex. I'm not like saying I want it now, I would rather know if you want to wait `til marriage or if there is like a certain amount of time we have to be together or a certain amount of jewelry I have to give you...I don't want to think one day that it is the right time and then you be on a completely different page." "Well...I'm not really sure. I would like to say I would want to wait `til marriage because that's what my parents want. But I would probably have sex with someone if it just felt right. I'm not like going to go out and fuck a guy after one week. I'm still a virgin by the way. And you'd have to spend at least a thousand dollars before I'd consider sleeping with you." "Ouch. Am I that ugly?" "No! You're really cute and sexy. I just like money." "Of course you do. And by the way I'm not a virgin. I know that sounds bad but I was only with one other person and it only happened once. It was about a year ago and it was a complete accident. Please don't be mad at me." "Why would I be mad at you if you're being honest? It does kinda hurt to know that you have lost it, but that makes you who you are and I like you. Just promise me that you won't fuck any hoes before we get together." "Okay. Give me a minute to kick all these hoes out. I was horny a bit ago and called them all over. I accidentally called you instead of the hoe I have named Emma." "I better be the only hoe you have!" I said giggling. "I will beat the shit out of any girl who tries to take my man." Austin started laughing. "You sound so ghetto right now. I love it." "It's what happens when you're born and raised in the hood. I didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose me, bro." Austin was now laughing so hard that he dropped the phone. I couldn't help but laugh myself. I knew I didn't sound ghetto at all when I tried to so I just knew I sounded so stupid. After a few minutes we finally both regained our senses. "Babe, I gotta go. It's been nice talking to you." "I'll miss you." "I'll miss you more." "Keep thinking that. Bye." "Bye." -Spencer's perspective- The next morning was a real bitch for me. I definitely did not want to get up. I'm always lazy so it wasn't like any other morning, but this morning I had Brennan curled up next to me. It felt good to have a friend who you could act like you were dating without officially dating or making anything awkward. I would have thought I would never be able to cuddle and kiss a friend but I can with Brennan. After about twenty minutes, I got out of bed and got ready for the day. I decided I would try calling all my friends and seeing if they would hang out. I should tell them what's going on with me and Mason. I first called Macy and she said she would definitely hang out and that she would force Emma to come along. I then called Kurt and he said he could make it as well and that we would drag Daniel and Kasey along. I then dialed Mason's number, forgetting about the whole Jordan thing. Once I hit the call button I remembered and immediately canceled the call. I was used to Mason and Tyler hanging out with us as well and it felt normal to call him, but I knew I couldn't. I couldn't confront him about this yet. "Hey." Brennan said as he got up. "Hey. Could you do me a favor?" "No. I'm not sucking your dick. You got your daily dose of Brennan last night." What he's referring to is that last night while I was asleep and he was still up, I was having dream sex and as I was doing the fucking, my hips were moving back and forth in the real world. Brennan's back was firmly pressed against my chest so he felt every motion I made. He woke me up to tell me what I was doing and I couldn't help but blush. Brennan tried saying that it was okay but I still felt embarrassed. "Can you call Mason and tell him that I don't hate him. I can't talk to him right now and like..." "Don't worry. I'll do it in a little bit. Let me get up and get something to eat first. Mason isn't an early riser." "Okay. Thanks. By the way, I think we're all going to hang out today if you're interested." "I guess I'll hang out with you. Tell them all about our sexcapades." "If you tell them I will fucking kill you." I'm still a virgin by the way. I didn't actually fuck Brennan last night. "Geez! Why can't I tell them?" "Because then they'll bring up Mason and I don't want to have to tell them `Oh well me and Mason broke up so it's completely okay.' and then try laughing it off. I want to tell them in a serious manner." "Okay. I'm sorry. You know I love you right?" "Shut the fuck up and get ready. I'm going to go downstairs." "Okay, okay." Brenna got out of bed and looked just as sexy as Mason, but a much smaller and thinner version. Mason is built and big and sexy. Brennan is lean and thin and cute. The two share some facial features and the same hair color but other than that they don't look anything alike. I went downstairs and there was a note from Mom. It read: "Went out with some friends. Megan is out with her boyfriend. There is stuff for breakfast in the refrigerator. Please clean up when you and Brennan are done." I couldn't help but blush at the note. I know Mom didn't mean that in the sexual way, but it reminded me of last night. I opened the fridge and found the bacon and the eggs. I got the sausage out of the freezer and i got some bread out of the breadbox. I decided to go all out for breakfast. The only thing I didn't feel like making was pancakes. As I was cooking the food, I remembered the time Mason and I had the place to our own. I remember thinking that was going to be how our life was going to be in a few years. I loved cooking and Mason made it even more fun with his teasing and his "helping." That day was my favorite. It was the day I realized that Mason and I truly had something. As I finished the food and placed it on the table, Brennan came running down the stairs. "That smells so fucking good." "Thanks. Cooking is one of the few things I'm good at." "You're also good at being cute." Brennan said with a wink. "That's not going to get you out of doing the dishes." "But I wasn't able to help make the food! It's not fair." "It doesn't take someone twenty minutes to get ready. And was it really a coincidence that you just happened to come down stairs the second I finished the food?" Brennan just looked at me with a smile. "I....This food looks really good." He sat down and started piling food onto his plate. I rolled my eyes, sat on the opposite side of the table, and did as he did. I had to admit, this was one of the best breakfasts I've made. It didn't compare to the one I made with Mason. Even though the eggs were black on one side and the bacon was extra somewhat cold, having him there with me was the best feeling ever. "You okay?" Brennan asked. "Yeah. Just thinking about the past." "If we keep our heads in the past, we'll never be able to move forward." "When did you turn into Confucius?" "Who's that?" "A philosopher. You should open up a book every now and then." "Shut up. I already know I'm stupid so there is no reason to kick a man while he's down." "Well if you like kicking people then that's a legitimate reason." "True." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Every time I read a story of Nifty, I never read the top part, so just in case you are like me and only read the bottom portion if you liked the story, here is my email again: wah.stories@yahoo.com.
