Chapter 6:
"Oh My God Max is kissing me!"
Through the wonderful haze of kissing Max, I heard a door slam. Max quickly pulled away, blushing. The taste of him was still lingering on my lips.
"Yo TJ you home?!" Mike yells while climbing the stairs.
I move back to my desk chair just as my bedroom door opens.
"What the hell is HE doing here TJ?! Get the hell out of my house!"
Mike makes a move toward Max, but I jump out of the chair blocking his way! I don't know how Mike knows it was Max, I never told him!
"Mike! Stop!... He's here to apolog..."
"I-It's ok TJ!... I d-deserve it!"
Max arose from the bed.
"Your damn right you do! You put him in the fucking hospital! For what?... So you could feel like a real man?!" Mike sneers
"How?! How did you know Mike?!" I ask.
"Oh like it's not going all around school!"
"I-I'll l-leave!"
Max moves toward the door.
"No! This is going to end NOW! Mike, he apologized for what happened, and I forgave him! END OF STORY!"
"B... But..."
"NO!... It's done!... Now go down and make yourself something to eat! And. PLEASE, please let us continue to talk!" I exclaim hoping that we will continue "talking!".
Mike gets up to leave but not before giving Max a dirty look.
"You hurt him, and your ass is mine!"
Max and I return to sitting on the bed in an awkward silence.
"Umm Ma..."
"TJ!... I-I'm sorry, I can't do this!"
"W-what do you mean 'I can't do this!'?"
"I should have never kissed you!"
"Then w-why did you?"
"I... I'm straight, TJ! But when Jake started a-asking about you,... I-I got jealous!"
"He a-asked about m-me?"
"Yeah he w-wanted to k-know if I would mind i-if you two w-went out!"
Secretly, I was thrilled that Jake cared enough about me to ask Max's permission. But, I was still a little upset that he did it behind my back ,before I got a chance to talk to Max.
"W-what did y-you tell him?"
"I s-said that I-I didn't care that it was up to y-you! But I-I don't w-want him to t-take you away from me!...These last few w-weeks without you has been hell"
"OH!"
"TJ!... I really d-do! l-love you, but o-only as my best friend! I am s-straight, and y-you're the only o-one I have l-left!"
"Oh Max!... I do love you!... B-but, I knew we c-could never be together! I am not going anywhere! You will always have a special place in my heart"
We stand up embracing each other in a hug. Max and I both pull back at the same time.
This time there is no kiss, but strangely no awkwardness either!
As Max let's go of me he looks me in the eyes and tells me.
"If he hurts you, he's a dead man!"
Not long after Max leaves.
I remain in my room thinking about the strange turn of events.
Max kissed me. He said he loves me, but only as a friend.
I think I can live with that! I will always love him! He was my first love. But, I rather have him in my life as a friend than NOT in my life at all!
Sometime later Mike knocks on my door asking permission to enter.
"Come in!"
"Are you ok bro?"
"Yeah, I'm ok! Better now that I have my best friend back!"
"So what did the prick say to make you forgive him?!"
"Well other than sorry, he said that he was scared!"
"That's it?!... That is the reason he put you in the hospital, because he was scared?!"
"Scared, yes, because he was afraid of everyone especially his father finding out that he had a queer for a best friend!"
"Oh! Well!... I guess I can kind of understand that his dad is a fucking asshole! But, next time he will have to go through me first!"
"I don't think you'll be the only one!"
"What do you mean?! Who else is there?!"
"W-well... Jake kind of a-asked me o-out!"
"What?!... You mean Jake Cavetti, the third baseman on the baseball team?! That Jake? !"
"Yeah THAT Jake!"
"OH DAMN!... Way to go bro!... He's hot!"
"What?!"
"Oh please I maybe straight, but I know when a guy's good looking!"
"Yeah ,...whateva,... PERVE!"
"Please!!! So are you, going to go out with him?!"
"I-I think so! I just need some time to get over Max!"
"Well you better hurry up! He's not going to wait around forever!"
"I know!"
Mom came home a few minutes later and called us down to dinner.
"So how was your day boys?"
"Fine Mom!" we both answer at once.
"TJ, where has Max been? I haven't seen him in a few weeks!"
"He's been around Mom!"
"What!... My food isn't good enough for him anymore!"
"No mom he's just been busy!"
"Well, is he ok?"
"Yeah he's better now!" Mike butts in.
"Shut it!... Mike!"
"TJ! Don't talk to your brother like that!"
"Yes ma'am!"
"What does he mean he's better now?"
"Well! W-we kind of had a fight, but we made up!"
I shoot my brother a nasty look!
"Tell him I want him over for dinner one of these nights. No excuses!"
"Yes Ma'am!"
Later on that night, as I am sitting at my computer trying to finish my English paper I get an IM from Max.
ToTheMax: Hey!
C4tcher: Hey!
ToTheMax: How ya doing?
C4tcher: Good, you?
ToTheMax: Good! Hey, your not going to tell anyone we kissed, right?
C4tcher: No! Why? You want me too?
ToTheMax: NO!!!!! C4tcher: Jk! I wasn't going to say anything!
ToTheMax: TY!!!!! So, are you going to talk to Jake?
C4tcher: Yeah, maybe!
ToTheMax: MAYBE? What? Why not yes?
C4tcher: Umm...
ToTheMax: Oh, don't tell me you're nervous!
C4tcher: Yeah, kind of and well...
ToTheMax: What?
C4tcher: This is too weird talking to you about all this!
ToTheMax: Hey! You can talk to me about anything! I promise, I am a changed man!
C4tcher: I know! But, it will take sometime getting use to it!
ToTheMax: Well, don't let this one get away! He's a good guy! And, you of all people deserve that!
C4tcher: Aww TY! Actually, Mike said the same thing!
ToTheMax: You talked with Mike about this BUT not me?!
C4tcher: Yeah well, he kind of forced it out of me.
ToTheMax: OH, OK! Well, I better get to bed. See you at school. Love Ya!
C4tcher: Nite! Love ya too!
As I lay in bed later that night, I thought of how Max had really changed.
Love ya? What did he mean by that?
I never would have thought of Max telling me he loved me!
I guess he is becoming a changed man!
Too bad it's not the change I want!
OH, Well! At least I have my best friend back!
Hey all I hope you don't hate me for the first of many twists. Let me know what you think Thanks ~J~
