Getting back to the apartment Kaine walks into Seth already on the couch waiting for him "Kaine-" he says Kaine name But Kaine puts his hand out to stop him "don't" he says then walks into his room shutting the door. In his room, Kaine removes his sweater and sneakers, grabs his laptop and lays in bed plugging his earbuds in blasting HAIM one of his favorite band.Seth sits on the couch wondering where he went wrong, Kaine makes him feel different, a way not even Cathy could make him feel. Kaine makes him feel equal like he actually matters, Kaine gives him importance and he ruined what might have been the best thing that happened to him because he was too shallow to see it. As he sits there pondering Emma approaches the door knocking, Seth gets up and answers"Emma, hey" he greets"What's up what's up? Kaine home?""Yeah" Seth points to Kaine's room and Emma makes her way to it.She knocks on his door but he doesn't answer so she enters to Kaine listening to music "Em?" he says as
"So, what are you planning on doing with me?" Ryan asks as Kaine sits next to him on Kaine's bed"I don't know maybe I'll make you do my homework, or clean my room, or even be my sex slave""Ooo that last one sounds nice" Ryan flirts"I bet it does" Kaine flirts back"I'm hungry, you wanna get out of here and go get something to eat?""why do that when I could just make you a sandwich"Ryan chuckles "you'd make me a sandwich?""sure come on" Kaine pulls Ryan from his room heading to the kitchen. Looking inside of the fridge "do you like tomatoes?""No, I don't""What about mustard?" Ryan shakes his head "get ready for the world's driest sandwich then""If you're making it then I'll eat it" they smile at each other at Kaine begins making the sandwich for Ryan.------A few hours later "well isn't this a cute fucking picture" Seth walks in on Kaine and Ryan making out in the kitchen "you two are fucking adorable you know that?" his jealousy slowly ragesKaine moves towards him smelling
"Good morning Kaine" Kaine laughs at Seth trying to start a conversation with him while he eats his cereal"Good morning Seth" he replies back with a mouth full of cocoa puffs"So? You slept well?" Kaine doesn't understand why he's trying to do this but he gives him points for trying and decides to play along"I slept really well actually, no grabby hands feeling me up in the middle of the night" Kaine smirks at him"Funny, I too slept well""Cut the act, Seth""Sorry for trying to be nice" he is really trying but to Kaine, it might be too late."No apologies necessary" Kaine replies as he gets up placing his bowl in the sink. As he is grabbing his bag to head to the door it swings open and in comes, Cathy which startles the hell out of Kaine. Turning back to Seth Kaine sarcastically asks "do we not lock our doors anymore?""Kaine shut up" Cathy replies and Kaine leaves. Noticing how sad Seth looks Cathy asks "what's wrong baby?" she moves closer wrapping her arms around him"Nothing
The week goes by with Kaine and Seth not really saying much to each other, it is now Saturday and Kaine's walking out of the shower when he and Seth accidental bumps into each other "sorry" Kaine quickly apologizes"It's fine" Seth quietly replies. Kaine knows that Seth's been hurting but he feels as if Seth deserves it for hurting him. "Going out today?""Yeah Ryan and I are hanging out and later we're going to Brady's party""Seriously?""Yes, Ryan's friends with one of the frat guys and he invited us""you've never gone to a party here before""yeah I have""the ones here don't count" Seth retorts"well I guess not then, but I'm going to one now" Kaine starts to dress himself and Seth stands there staring "see something you like?" Kaine teases"Yes," Seth quietly replies then walks away causing Kaine to smile.After he's fully dressed Kaine sits on the couch and waits for Ryan, as he watches tv Seth comes from his room walking towards the couch sitting next to Kaine. Pretending he
Kaine and Ryan drive to the frat house and Kaine starts to panic a little, he's afraid that Seth might do something stupid again in front of Ryan. Ryan gets out of the car but Kaine doesn't when Ryan realizes he goes back in the car "what's wrong?" "Maybe we shouldn't go, I mean we can go back to your place where we'd be all alone"Ryan smiles "I'd love to be alone with you, but I promised that we'd stop by, if you don't want to stay once we're in there just let me know and we'll go, ok?" Kaine nods and they exit the car, he's just going to have to find a way to keep Seth from seeing him and Ryan.As they get closer to the house the music gets louder, Kaine looks around looking for Seth's car to make sure he's not there before them and to his relief Seth wasn't. They walk in and everything was everywhere, people were drinking, smoking, kissing, dancing, playing games, and just running around naked, Kaine automatically feels out of place but he's here to make Ryan happy so he decided
Next morning Kaine doesn't know how to go home...He and Ryan walk up the stairs to his apartment in silence, Kaine couldn't look Ryan's way. last night was so awkward they didn't speak at all he just slept in Ryan's arms.They reach Kaine's apartment and sees the door both Kaine and Ryan gasp. Written clearly across the door in bold letters was the word FAGGOT underlined with exclamation points.Kaine sighs and out of shock Ryan asks "who would do this?" Kaine doesn't know but he knew what Seth was probably going through. this is what he wanted a small part of Kaine is relieved the secret is finally out but he also feels bad, really bad.Kaine knows what he has to do now it isn't going to be easy but it was now his turn to choose. Turning to face Ryan Kaine starts off "Ryan I have to tell you something..." Ryan turns to him giving Kaine all of his attention "last night when Seth said what he said..." he pauses and Ryan gets the idea"It was about you, wasn't it?" Kaine nods "were you
Next morning, Kaine and Seth woke up in each other's arms and for Kaine, he was just happy to be back where he belongs. it's been a while since they've both gotten a good nights rest, Seth looks peaceful as Kaine watches him sleep. With a smile on his face, Kaine lays back down on Seth's chest remembering last night...When they got home Seth and Kaine couldn't keep their hands off of each other, Kaine leans against the door as Seth runs his lips against his neck with his hands all over Kaine's body. They made their way to Kaine's room which was the closest, climbing into his bed they slowly start to undress each other kissing without stopping to breathe. Kaine's helpless moans were turning Seth on, he missed the boy and they were both finally getting what they truly wanted. Seth slowly moves down to Kaine's member grabbing it which catches Kaine by surprise, putting Kaine's semi-hard rod into his mouth something he's never done before but gladly does it to make Kaine feel good. As th
The two days they've been back together felt so real to Kaine, this was really happening and he couldn't be any happier. With Cathy out of the picture and people actually knowing that Seth was all Kaine's there was nothing more Kaine could ask for."Get up we have class today" Kaine shakes Seth who's faking his sleep"10 more minutes please" Seth begs with his eyes closed"No there's not enough time" Kaine climbs on top of Seth"I'd rather wake up for this," he says moving towards Kaine and Kaine pulls away"Of course you would" Kaine climbs off "now get up""Fine but if I die while I'm out there it's all on you""You're not going to die" Seth is actually afraid of going to school, facing people is something he is not ready to do. Kaine could tell Seth's scared by the way he was looking at himself in the mirror, Kaine stands behind him leaning on his back "nothing's going to happen Seth, and if it does I'm here and I'm not going anywhere" Seth smiles turning and kissing Kaine then goi
Still, without a way to contact Damien, I sit in my room impatiently waiting, leaving the window open for him I sit at my desk trying to do homework but failing miserably. I just got him back for 2 seconds and it's been 5 hours since I saw him. What the fuck else could've happened between then and now? Getting up I walk out of my room heading to the kitchen for a drink, staring at my phone as I walk around my house I'm almost to the kitchen when the doorbell goes off. "I'll get it" I reply being the closest to the door, walking over I turn the knob and freeze. Damien smiles as soon as he sees my face, "what are you doing?" I ask in a lowered voice "Is this not ok?" He asks walking in, "really wasn't in the mood to climb the tree""I-" "Who's at the door Ewan?" my mom comes from the kitchen asking. Stopping when she sees Damien and I standing there, "oh" this is happening way too fucking fast! Realizing I'm not going to say anything Damien walks to my mom, "Hi Mrs. Basilton my name
It's been rough I'm not going to lie, yes I know the truth now and sure I should be calm but I think I'm more worried than I was before. The thought of Damien in foster care scares me, and he might never come back, what if they make him switch schools? And I know he can't contact anyone who isn't family, but I just want to hear his voice, I need to know how he really is. Jaded and checked out of class I sit there but my mind is elsewhere. "Baz?" I hear the faint sound of my name but I'm too far dazed to focus on it. "Baz!" The person barks and I jump to find my teacher standing in front of me, realizing I'm sitting in English lit, I shift in my seat trying to make it seem as if I've been paying attention, and my teacher says "you need to focus Baz." "Sorry," I sit up straight."Now," she starts as she walks back to the front of the class, "Amber said that she thinks Ulysses' dream is the main symbol that moves the story, do you agree Baz?" I don't need to focus to tell her how wrong
Do it! Just do it Baz, this isn't about you or her, it's about Damien and you need to know where he is. No one else can tell me besides Eddie, and since he'll never say 2 words to me, my best bet is to make Silver ask him for me. Knowing her schedule as if it were my own, I wait outside her social studies class before lunch, when it's finally done everyone starts walking out and I don't see her until everyone's gone and she's the only one left still packing up. Walking in as the teacher leaves, the door shuts and we're alone. Throwing her bag over her shoulder, Silver doesn't see me until she turns Looking around she realizes we're alone "hi," she smiles even though I'm maintaining a straight face."I need help and I can't really go to anyone else with this" "Okay" "That's the only reason I'm coming to you nothing else" "I understand" "Seriously I mean it this isn't me giving you another chance, or thinking about it. Me talking to you is purely circumstantial." "I get it Baz,"
"I don't know I heard it was a fight," "A fight? With who?" "Not really a fight more like he got jumped by guys from Mesa High.""Damien got jumped?" I eavesdrop on the girls sitting at the lunch table behind me Turning around I ask, "are you guys talking about Damien Allen?" They nod, "who told you he got jumped?" One of them answers "some girls from the cheer team," of course, there are no bigger gossips in this school than the fucking cheer team. It's Tuesday and still not a single word from Damien, yesterday I was pissed but now I'm kind of worried 'You got jumped are you ok?' Why am I even bothering he's not going to answer. What the fuck am I supposed to do? Go to his house? Oh my god, should I go to his house? No that's crazy I can't just show up to his house if he's ignoring me. You did it before idiot... but that was different something is clearly wrong, and if it's not with us then it has to be with him. I'm not going to believe he got jumped until I talk to him thoug
"Ewan?" I hear my mom's voice as she softly knocks on my door "are you awake?" "I am now" I answer opening my eyes, Sticking her head in with a smile "good morning" "Morning" I reply "Dad and I are going out for breakfast and maybe go to the museum, would you like to join us?" "Um," I think about it and answer "sure I'm not doing anything better" "Great!" She grins "we're leaving in 10 so go brush your teeth and get dressed" She walks out and I sit up yawning, getting up I check the time on my phone it's almost 10. Leaving my room I walk to the bathroom picking up my toothbrush, as I'm brushing my teeth the doorbell goes off and I wonder who it could be. Not minding it I continue brushing After a minute I hear my mom call "Ewan!" "What?!" I shout back from the bathroom "Someone's here for you" me? Who the hell could that be? Rinsing my mouth I walk out of the bathroom going to the door to find Damien standing there with my mom behind him shutting the door. I stare at him st
"HOLY SHIT I WON!" I jump out of the chair throwing my controller down "I WON! OH MY GOD!" Jumping up and down I don't focus on the scream "YESSSSSS" I cheer hopping around my room "What's going on?" My mom opens my bedroom door confused by the screaming, "why all the yelling?" "Mom" I rush to her grabbing her hand pulling her to my desktop "look! I've been playing this online tournament for the last 5 weeks and I actually won! Against like a bunch of people" I explain while showing her the screen Reading the popup because I'm too distracted to do it, she says "well it says here you have to call that number since you're the winner, have you called?" "What no I was too busy winning!" I can't believe I fucking won and the only person I can tell is my mom who doesn't give 2 shits about video games."Well is there a prize" As I open my mouth about to answer I stop, I don't know how they'll react when they hear about the money. I shouldn't tell them until I actually have the money, rig
Days later...Walking out of the bathroom my mom catches me before I make it to my room, "hey honey" she stops me in the hall by standing in front of me. "How was your date with the college boy?" "It wasn't a date mom just coffee after school" "I know but how'd it go? Meeting for the first time, what'd you guys even talk about?" "Um he mostly talked but it was fine" "Think you'll go out again?" I shrug "maybe" then walk past her. Heading for my room my heart stops the moment I walk in "Jesus!" I jump seeing Damien just standing there. "You have to at least text me you're coming I'm too young for a heart attack" "You actually went out with that girl's brother?" He asks ignoring my comment "You say actually like I wasn't supposed to" "No just surprised didn't think you'd do it," why because you give me everything I want and need, so I don't have to go find it from someone else? "Well I did and it was fun, he actually invited me to a party this weekend and best part he lives alo
Here's a synopsis of my weekend, after blocking Silver everywhere she showed up to my house multiple times begging to talk to me, but I already told my parents not to let her in. Deciding to climb the tree she tries to come in through the window, but I locked it and ignored her, I haven't said a word to her yet because I'm not even sure what I want to say. I'm tired of her betraying me and I know for a fact that I'm completely done with her, the problem is convincing her of that. Monday morning I walk into school unprepared to see either of them, it feels like I'm going to spend the rest of my high school life avoiding these people. It'll be hard staying away from Silver because she knows all of my hideouts, and wouldn't you believe I see her standing at my locker waiting. Groaning I turn before she sees me and just go to class without my books. "Good morning class" my teacher starts, "before we get started why don't you guys pass up your homework so I can collect them," everyone st
Hearing the doorbell I sigh relieved heading towards it, as soon as I open the door Silver gasps "oh my god!" Her jaw drops and she grins "you look so good Baz!" "You too" "Oh I know" she walks in, "if this dress doesn't get me the attention I want tonight I'm gonna set it on fire.""Hurry and let's go before-""Picture time!" My mom walks to us holding her phone, "oh my god you guys look so cute get close""Mom we have to go we're going to be late" I roll my eyes annoyed, she's been doing this since I got dressed."Just one picture please it's not every day I get to see my son going to homecoming," yeah and it'll never happen again. I know what you're thinking, why would I ever agree to Silver's stupid ass plan? It won't work and I'm just wasting my time, well it's not much of a waste when you have nothing but time, and I'm tired of sitting around I need to start making shit happen and this is how. At least that's how Silver put it when she explained her plan. "Trust me there's n
