It was a usual night in the Vic. Usual in the sense of busy, and that johnny and Danny kept making eye contact. Nancy had started to notice this. Well, shed started to notice a couple of days after she accidentally outed Johnny to their mum and dad.
Since then she'd been making hints to Johnny that he should just go for it, she wanted him to be happy after all. She went up to Johnny that afternoon and said "Look, I know you're feeling down, and mum still not coming round is really not helping, but you can't just wait, and try to please her all the time!" Seemingly being white concerned. Johnny had been fairly erratic as of late. Continuinly disappearing, then coming back, with no explanation.
"Look, just leave it Nance. I wouldn't be going through half this is it wasn't for you." Johnny said harshly, and quietly.
"Don't be like that with me mate, I've been trying to help you to make up for it! Ive even argued with mum over it!" replied Nancy, knowing that no matter what she said, it wouldn't make up for what she'd said roughly a month ago.
"Whatever." Replied Johnny, make a hasty exit from the bar and out the doors of the pub.
Nancy looked around quick and spotted Danny coming over the the bar, probably to ask for another pint.
"Same again ple-" Danny was cut off by Nancy.
"Please, just go after Johnny!" She said, concerned for her brother.
"He's not interested. Anyway, every time I've tried to be nice, he just passes me off." said Danny, and by the way is voice slightly wobbled, you could tell that it upsets him how Johnny is and has been with him.
Danny wasn't one for falling in love, but with Johnny, it was so much different then to anything else.
"He doesn't mean to be like that! With mum being how she is, he's confused! He needs to be happy, and clearly its you who will do that! He needs to know that he can't please mum all the the time. And she-"
Nancy was cut off by Linda sharply saying "She has a name Nancy. And no, Danny isn't the one to make him happy. And you're right. Johnny is confused, because he knows he actually wants that Whitney."
Johnny walked back in, visibly upset, and went behind the bar, sensing the tension.
"Mum, what's going on?" Said Johnny, worried that this was going to go tits up as usual. He really wished that Linda would let him get on with it.
"Nancy was trying to get Danny to go after you. Saying he's the one to cheer you up. Saying its who you need. But we all know that its Whitney, isn't it?" Linda said this in such an implying tone, almost demandingly.
"No mum! She's not! Mum, I'm gay, Whitney's just my friend, and that's all she will ever be!" Johnny said quietly.
"Don't be so stupid Johnny, this is all just a phase, and" turning to Danny, and back to Johnny, "you don't need him here, making you think that you're, you're like that."
Johnny had gone red with anger. "Enough!" He shouted. The whole pub went silent and stared at Johnny. He walked through to the back of the pub and upstairs. He went into his room and slammed the door. After about 20 minutes, Nancy knocked on his bedroom door, and Johnny came out, with his bags packed.
