Ring Ring Ring.
"Hello."
This is Jake, i hope we could talk about the other night.
silence on the other end
i begin to say " i know you are their Damien, please don`t make this more awkward than it has to be."
he says "ok, Jake. im really sorry, about the other night, i did not mean to kiss you, it was a mistake."
i reply "yes it was, you know you but me in a weird position with Conner, he seems to be upset about it"
he says "i am so sorry about that, i was wrong to do that"
i reply "i accept your apology, but you really cannot do that again, i hope we can still be friends though"
he says "yes i just did not know, if you would still want to be around me after what i did."
i say "its ok, Damien, we will get through this, i hope Conner forgives me."
he replies "why wouldn`t he. i am the one who initiated the kiss, i can tell him in person."
i say "i don`t think that would be such a good idea, let's wait until he has a chance to cool down"
he replies "ok, i understand, but i will be here if you need anything"
alright man, i will bye. END OF CALL
School.
after football practice, i see Conner in the locker wrapping up his assistance duties of the day. so i walk up to him and say
"Hey, Conner can we talk.
he says "No, Jake i am finishing up here, and i got to get back to my house to do some homework
i say "Conner, please stop avoiding me, and don`t give me the Homework excuse. you are mad at me, i get it. but i spoke to Damien, and he is really sorry and will not make a move on me again.
he says "Im sorry, its just that, i need some time to process what happened, i know that it is not your fault.
i say "alright, Conner, i will give you some space, i really hope you can get over this because i really do love you.
he says" i will, i love you too, oh just need to get passed this jealously feeling, i don`t want to feel this way, but i do.
i say "I understand, and when you are ready we can talk about it, so for now goodbye
Conner POV
wow, i am feeling jealous, i really don`t want to be, but here i am, i know Jake did not do anything wrong, i guess its my teenage brain jumping to conclusions. evening if i logically know, my emotions take over.
i decide to have a talk with my mom about it, i know it will be a bit awkward, but i think she would be really helpful
i say "Mom, can i talk to you about something"
she says "yes dear"
i say "its about Jake, my boyfriend, i found out the other day, another boy named Damien, who is on the football team, kissed him, i am feeling jealous, i took that out on him, i know he didn't start it, and now i can't stop thinking about it.
she says "well, ok Conner, i am sorry, but you gotta realize that Jake really cares for you and i don`t think he would try to hurt you.
i say "i know, we discussed it, but for the feeling of jealousy is still there, for goodness sakes why can`t it stop,
my mom laughs and says "i think that is a normal feeling, especially about someone you love and mixed with teenage hormones, that can heighten it."
just time and understanding will help. i believe in you, you know you are the strongest kid i know, and i am serious, not just because i am your mother."
i say "well, i will just take your word for it.
she says "Thanks, honey. and Conner, don`t be afraid to talk to me about things, or your father by the way, we are your parents and will always love and support you.
i then walk up to her and hug her, with tears rolling down my eyes.
she says "It, ok.
i nod and then say "Mom, thank you for talking to me, i`m sure, you probaly would rather being do other things.
she says "no, what could be more important than having a meaningful conservation with my son.
i chuckle a bit and say "well, i am going to go to my room now, and finish my homework assignment.
she says "ok, honey, love you."
