Chapter 1: Aahh, Mornings
It was a quiet (or so I thought) summer morning. Through my closed eyelids I could tell someone twisted open the old, off-white shutter shade type blinds. I hesitated on opening my eyes, fearing the bright sun's light would blind me momentarily. Reluctantly, I flustered open my eyes, quickly squinting and wincing at the bright light. I sighed bitterly and stumbled out of the bed, almost tripping as my legs were entangled in the sheets. I let a stream of profane words slip quietly through my pursed lips as I shut the blinds and turned to see what time it was. About 10:45. Everyone should be up by now. And by Monte's loud voice snapping at Adam -probably for something stupid, like leaving his crap laying around the living room- I was positive they were up. I chuckled at this slightly, thinking it was funny to wake up to the aroma of the salty sea water, loud scolding, and bright lights. I couldn't imagine anything being different.
I realized I still had on my black Skinny Jeans and a black shirt on from last night. Adam and I had gone out to a bar (what was new?) with Monte and Longineu and though none of us had been drinking much at all, my head throbbed with pain. "Dammit." I snapped, tripping over my black Converse Hightops. I went into the bathroom, looking into the large mirror. I fixed my soft brown bangs and parted them correctly as I slipped on my favorite black jacket with thin white stripes on it. I opened the door to my room, and entered the kitchen. You didn't even need the lights on, it was so bright. I squinted noticing a grumbling Adam gathering several CD's and magazines and trotting back into his room as Monte watched him sternly.
"Morning, Tommy." he said, switching his gaze and changing his mood into a softer, more happier Monte.
"G'morning." I muttered, reaching for some cereal, a bowl, and a spoon. Adam came back into the kitchen/small dining room.
"Hey, Tommy." Adam said, his light blue eyes searching my face, his lips curling into a slightly devious smile. I stared into his soft blue eyes, mesmerized for a moment, though I quickly looked away. Sitting down at the table and eating my cereal, I watched as Adam sat down at the table along with Monte and Longineu who emerged from the bathroom. Lisa came walking in from the living room, eying Adam and I. She knew about us, though we weren't together. Everyone also still thought I was straight.
Was I straight? Or what? Did I last year's AMA performance? I pushed that thought aside, and continued eating.
"We have a concert tonight in Fantasy Springs, right?" I asked, breaking the silence.
"Yup, can't wait." Adam said, his sly eyes hiding behind the black eyeliner, eyeshadow, and his long bangs.
My heart skipped a beat as I caught a glimpse of a half smile entering his perfect face, his sapphire eyes glancing over to me.
What would happen at fantasy Springs tonight would be something I swore I would never do...again.
