Liam POV
I feel really bad about how I treated Jason, I was a total asshole and he didnt deserve it. I really hope he forgives me though, it would be totally understandable if he doesnt. Damn, what is wrong with me, why did I have to go all homophobic on him.
Natalie has been noticing I have been distant with her lately and is trying to play nice, I hope she doesn`t know about my kiss the other day with Jason.
anyways, I have been trying to find ways to reach out to Jason without coming off too desperate.
Lunch Time. The Following Week.
Jason, Susan, Jessica & Brad are all sitting down eating their respective lunches, when I come up to the table and say "any room for one more"
Susan responds " Not for You. Go Find Somewhere else to sit."
Brad says "what`s wrong Susan, why are you being so rude to Liam?
she says "Ask him, what he said to Jason, it was just so horrible.
Brad interests peaks and says to Liam "what is she talking about?"
Jason remains silent and continues eating and I sit down anyway.
Brad remains unsatisfied and looks toward Jason hoping for a response.
Jason says "its nothing, I dont want to talk about it."
Brad says "all right, Jason, I dont want to force it out of you, but I hope you guys work it out, we're all friends here, and I dont want things to get awkward.
Susan is about to say something and Jason looks at her with a stern look and she shuts her mouth.
soon the bell rings ending the tension and I head towards my next class.
Chemistry Class.
I find my seat and Susan is glaring at me from across the room. Great, this is going to better harder than I thought, not only am I feel bad about I how I treated Jason.
Susan is not making it any easier on me, she seemed genuinely pissed, she and Jason are so close and have a sibling-like bond.
I try to focus on my studies and not the drama surrounding me.
when the bell rings, I quickly exit the room and head towards my next class.
for some reason, Scott finds me and follows me and says "I Heard you told of the faggot Jason and made him cry" Good for you. maybe his gay ass will stay in his lane.
I just couldnt let his comment slide by and said "Scott, stop it, dont call him that, it was a mistake, he is a good guy, he didn`t deserve what I said.
Scott looks at me and says "he definitely deserves it, it's the only way he will learn to stop being gay."
I turned around to him and knock him down to the ground and say "shut the hell up Scott, you are not cool as you think you are, just a pathetic bully.
he stands in anger and says "what`s it to you, do you want to be his boyfriend or something.
I just shake my head at him and walk away.
After School- Soccer Practice.
My Emotions are still very high and I try to release some of them through exercise, it does help some.
Coach is certainly helping, as he at us hard because, the last two games, we lost and he perceives it as of lack of hard work on our parts, but it's not, we try hard as we can, we cant always win, thats just the way life is.
sometimes his attitude makes me want to quit the team, but I don`t want to let the team down, so I don't.
once I arrive home, my younger sister Jaclyn and her boyfriend are going full at it in her bedroom, I end that and she is livid and says to get out, but I threaten to tell mom and dad and her boyfriend immediately rushes out and she says "I hate you and I reply "I love you too."
soon my phone rings and it says "Jason Garcia"
I am happy and anxious at the same time, I answer it and say "thank you, Jason, for calling, I really am sorry and having missed you."
he says "I am still trying to forgive you, but I can try being friends with you again."
I reply "thank you, I will try not to let you down again.
he says "ok, we will take it one day at a time.
I say "so, how has your day been so far?
he says "fine, I have been studying hard, I really been trying to get into a College"
I say "Jason, you are a very smart person, I am sure you will get in.
he says "I hope so."
then I hear Jessica in the background saying "why are you talking to him. he's bad news
I start to feel bad again.
and I say "OK Jason, it's been nice talking to you but, Natalie has been bugging me about going on a date again, so I better take her or she will lose it.
he says "all right Jason. have a good night. Bye.
the phone call ends. and immediately start criticizing myself internally, talking about my girlfriend might be too soon, but they are friendly towards one another, so maybe I am overthinking this.
Jaclyn then comes out of her room and says "Liam, you wont tell mom or dad, promise me, I am being careful, I just dont want the lecture from them, and besides you and Natalie have been a couple for a while now, and have you guys, you know done it.
I reply ", I am your brother, I don`t really feel comfortable talking about this with you, and the answer is no on both questions.
she shrugs her shoulders and says "if you say so."
and I start to wonder why that is, Natalie is a beautiful young woman, but now that i think about, i haven`t any sexual desire for her, and any straight guy with a functioning libido would.
and i do feel a bit of nervousness and sometimes boners around Jason, and i did kiss him, oh my god, i think i like him, and want to be more than friends.
To Be Continued.
