So, it has been a LONG time since i promised this ... but here ... FINALLY ... is the Sequel to "Leave us in peices, Scattered everywhere" - Starting about a year after the last one ended, Sophia is 15, starting year 11 in high school, Uther Pendragon has just bought out and closed down the Performing Arts college Sophia was going to go to and another person comes into their lives, well mainly Jack's life.
Here goes.
"SOPHIA! It is 8.15 you are going to be late!" Arthur shouted, it was September again, first day back to school after an amazing summer.
Sophia turned over in bed and screeched, she eventually sat up in bed, got dressed in her school uniform and went down the stairs to have some breakfast, ready for her first day in year 11.
She passed them a peice of paper and at down for breakfast, Merlin opened it and read the note:
Christmas
A new iPhone
Tickets to see Wicked
A New iPod
A New Camera
"Ok, before i read any more ... How rich do you think we are?" Arthur said putting the list down
"And why do you need an iPhone and and iPod? Besides sweetie, we're only in September" Merlin said
"One of them makes phone calls and texts, And we are rich dad"
"Why don't you highlight the things you want the most" Merlin suggested
Sophia sat and highlighted Tickets to Wicked, New Iphone and new Camera
"Sophia, you've seen Wicked 23 times" Merlin added
"Yes, so lets make it an even 24"
"Sweetie you could probably play Elphaba yourself you know it that well" Arthur laughed
"This is the intention"
"Right, so Wicked Tickets, Phone, and Camera, i think we can stretch to that" Arthur sighed "Of course you don't get one off Uther anymore so ..."
"Ugh, well i don't even want a present off him, i'd burn it, you know unless it was something really expensive ... like a car"
"Why would he get you a car? You're 15" Arthur said looking at his watch "Speaking of Car's, we need to go, Sophia quick in the car, you're going to be late, we're going to be late, lets go"
They got to the office 5 minutes later
"I am sorry" Arthur apologised to his Client, Imogen.
"It's fine, don't worry" Imogen said
"Okay Mrs Mayer, so you want to get an injunction against your husband?" Arthur said looking at her papers and looked up at Merlin who was tidying round the office
"Merl, you're making me nervous" Arthur said
"Sorry, anyone want coffee?" Merlin asked
"Just, go do something" Arthur laughed
"Okay" Merlin sighed and walked out of the room, he came back in 5 minutes later with Coffee.
"Coffee anyone?" Merlin said walking over to them
"Merlin, really?" Arthur said
"What? Coffee calms you down Arthur when you are getting a bit wound up"
"Merlin!" Arthur said eyes widening
"I didn't mean you, as in just you i meant the royal you"
"Merlin, out" Arthur said pointing to the door
Merlin left the room and Arthur looked up at Imogen who was laughing
"He's lovely" She said still chuckling slightly
"I love him more than anything but he knows how to annoy me" Arthur laughed
"I respect that you can love someone through them annoying you" Imogen said smiling "You must really really love one another"
"I really do love him, A lot"
In form group-
"Welcome back class, you're now Year 11's, We have a new boy starting with us, he will be with us shortly he is just sorting things out with the headteacher" Mr Mellows said passing out timetables
They were talking about the summer with Lea when in walked the new guy
"Woah" Lea said eyeing him up and down
"Oy, Lea, he's a human not a steak" Jack laughed
"Pot and Kettle spring to mind Jack, your eyes are saying everything we need to know " Sophia giggled
Jack couldn't help but look at him, infact half the class couldn't help but look at him.
Jack sat thinking that he didn't know why he was bothering looking at the new guy, he was your typical, all the girls will fall in love with him, type of guy.
"11C, this is Liam, he has come to Camelot High school for the year 11 and is staying on into 6 form, so make him welcome, go sit over there Liam by Lea, Sophia and Jack"
Liam walked over and Lea sat grinning at him
"I'll be bloody staying into 6 form by the looks of things now, stupid Uther closing down the perfroming arts college" Sophia muttered
"Well you can stay with me then" Jack laughed
"I wanna do my performing, the only course they do in 6 form is dance"
"Hi" Liam said sitting down
"Hey" Lea said smiling
"Stop flirting Lea" Sophia said grinning not perticularly seeing the attraction that Jack, Lea and the girls in the form were seeing. "I'm Sophia, This is Lea, and this is Jack"
"Hey Sophia, Hi Lea, Hi Jack" Liam said smiling over at Jack
The bell rang for first lesson and Liam looked panicked suddenly
"I have no idea where i'm going" Liam said
"Don't worry, we will help you, lets have a look at your timetable" Sophia said and Liam passed it over
"English, Oh you are in Jack's group, Jack you have someone who you can sit with now" Sophia said smirking at him and Jack shot a glare at her "See you, me and Lea need to get to our English group"
Sophia and Lea left the class and went to English
"So, come on then" Jack sighed getting up, It was going to be a long day.
Last lesson finally came, Luckily, or not so, Jack was with Liam in every class.
They were walking out to the busses to wait for Sophia and Lea when Liam decided to find out what he had been dying to ask Jack all day
"Jack, no offence if you aren't but i am curious ... Are you gay?" Liam asked
"Wow, More front than freaking blackpool" Jack said
"Sorry, i didn't mean to ..."
"No it's fine" Jack interupted and looked round, he added quietly "Yes"
"Does nobody know?" Liam asked raising an eyebrow
"Sophia and Lea, everyone else says i am, but none of them know for definate cause i have never told them other wise"
They got home and Jack was smiling far too much to be normal
"What's up with chipper?" Merlin laughed
"He's in loooooveeee" Sophia joked
"Shut up, no i aren't" Jack snapped
"Totally are, i saw how your eyes lit up when you saw him"
"Saw who?" Merlin asked
"The new guy, All the girls in the year are in love with him but me and Jack is also in love with him"
"New guy hey? pounce on him, of course not literally, you're too young for that but metephorically jump on him"
"I would if he was gay" Jack sighed sitting on the sofa "Still Metephorically of course Merlin"
"Good lad" Merlin said half laughing "But, so you know, you can't know if he is gay or not without doing some investigating"
Merlin got up and left the living room leaving Sophia and Jack looking more than confused
"What does he mean by that?" Sophia asked
"He asked me if i was gay" Jack said not hearing what Sophia had just said
"He asked you if you're gay? He's only known you for a day!"
"Soph, i told you after knowing you for about 2 minutes" Jack laughed
"Irrelevant" Sophia chuckled
The door opened and shut
"Hey guys" Arthur shouted
"Hey Dad" Sophia shouted
"What's new?" Arthur asked hanging his coat up and walking into the living room
"Jack's in love" Sophia blurted out
"Sophia, can we stop with the in love rumour" Jack said
"Who you in love with?" Arthur asked
"I'm not in love with Liam!" Jack shouted
"Liam? I don't know this name" Arthur said
"New guy" Jack said sighing
Arthur looked at Sophia, smiled at her and nodded
"Jacky" Sophia said "Why don't you let me talk to him for you"
"Soph, there is no way he is gay, I'd look stupid" Jack said and fell backwards on the sofa
"Sophia, leave the room, i want to talk to Jack" Arthur said, Sophia got up and went into the kitchen
"What's the point Arthur? I don't believe he would ever be gay"
"Mate, you don't know unless you find out" Arthur said sitting on the arm of the sofa
"That's what Merlin said" Jack said
"Well he is right, I didn't know if Merlin was, i had to find out by asking people about him, it turns out, i asked Morgana, who asked Gwen who asked Merlin saying i wanted to know, he came and told me himself that he was, i am glad i chose to find out, cause we wouldnt be together today if i hadn't took that risk Jack, you have to take the risk sometimes if you want to be happy"
"But what if he isn't, i will look stupid"
"You might be embaressed around him for a bit, but if he's your friend he will be fine around you. Just go for it mate"
"Oh man, i feel stupid, i've known him a day" Jack said
"There is no time too little or too long that can cause you to have feelings for someone" Arthur said smiling "I fell in love with Merlin at first sight"
"Really?" Jack asked sitting up and Arthur nodded
The next few days were torture to Jack, he couldn't bring himself to say anything to Liam and wouldn't let Sophia say anything.
The next week came, it was monday all over again.
Jack was with Liam waiting for Lea and Sophia.
Thomas, Vivian and their friends had walked over and were throwing sticks at Jack
"Alright gay boy" "Poof" "Sissy" "Gay!" They were saying
"Jack, you really need to out yourself, i think now is the time" Liam whispered to him
"What?" Jack asked, Liam leaned forward and kissed Jack.
Sophia walked over with Lea just to see this happen
"Holy crap" Sophia squealed to Lea
"Oh they are too cute, i knew it, i knew he liked him, it was so obvious" Lea squealed back
Vivian, Thomas and their friends had been stunned into silence, not quite knowing what to do or say, they may of wound up Jack, saying he was gay, but they never actually thought he was.
Liam pulled away and Jack sat back stunned
"I ... I think i have forgotten how to breathe" Jack stuttered
"In the nose, out the mouth" Liam laughed
"Oh my god! Liam is gay too" Vivian shouted, half of the school yard turned to look at Jack and Liam
"I'm going to ask you something now" Liam said "If you have started breathing again"
"I have" Jack said
"Do you want to be my boyfriend?"
"Yes" Jack sighed and kissed Liam again.
A few days passed -
Jack got to their house in tears with a big bag in his hand and another bag on his back
"Jack? What's wrong mate?" Arthur said letting him in the house
"My ... dad has ... kicked me ... out, he told me ... He was waiting till i was 16 ... So he could kick me out ... Cause he wants ... no gay son in his house" Jack stuttered out in between tears
"Really?" Arthur said, he really felt Jack's pain, knowing what it was like having a father who didn't accept his son being gay "Don't worry, you can stay with us for now"
"Thank you"
They went into the living room to see Merlin and Sophia sat saying two things to one another
"Matt Smith"
"David Tennant"
"Matt Smith"
"David Tennant"
"Matt Smith"
"David Tennant"
"Matt Smith"
"David Tennant"
"Guys" Arthur interupted "As much as i hate to interupt your the best looking doctor debate, Jack is here and he is staying with us, his dad has kicked him out"
"He kicked you out?" Sophia shouted "Want me to kick him in his teeth?"
"No it's fine" Jack said starting to cry again and sitting down putting his face in his hands.
Sophia sat down and hugged him
"It'll be okay Jacky"
Arthur had dissapeared without any of them noticing.
He pulled up outside Jack's house and went to the front door, as soon as he knocked on the door he knew it was a bad idea
Jack's dad opened the door and glared at him as though he was some horrible vermin
"What do you want?" Oliver, Jack's dad, asked through gritted teeth
"What is your problem with Gays?"
"I don't have a problem with Gays, as long as you stay the fuck away from me" Oliver shouted in his face
"Oh so you're one of them then" Arthur laughed
"One of who!"
"Scared that gay people will turn you"
"I aren't scared of anyone, i am comfortable with my sexuality thank you very much, now get away from my house before i give you a reason to be scared of me"
"Really though, i have grown up with a father who hates gays and anyone who is slightly different, who would do anything to convince me i aren't gay and who disowns me when i try tell him i am gay, Who hit me the day i told him i am gay, so homophobes really don't scare me"
"I'm giving you 5 seconds" Oliver said getting more annoyed
"Or what?" Arthur laughed
"3 ... 2 ... 1 ..." Oliver counted down and punched Arthur in the face
"Ahh! you fucking prick!" Arthur shouted
"Want to get off my land now?"
"You think pushing around and hitting Gay people will knock the gay out of them? Well you're wrong" Arthur shouted and hit Oliver, making sure he had hurt him and walked off getting back in his car and driving home.
When he got home he was greeted with Merlin in a panic
"Where the hell have you been?" Merlin shouted
"Nowhere" Arthur said avoiding Merlin's view so he didn't see his black eye forming.
Merlin followed him into the Kitchen and saw him put some frozen peas onto his eye
"Arthur Pendragon what did you do?" Merlin said
"Look it's nothing it doesn't matter"
"It matters to me, Was that Jack's dad?" Merlin asked concerned and Arthur nodded, "You absolute Idiot"
He walked over and opened the freezer and got some proper ice packs out, took the peas off him and put the Ice pack on his eye
"What were you thinking?" Merlin snapped annoyed at him
"I'm sorry but when i saw Jack's face when he was at the front door in tears it brought back memories of my dad treating me in a similar way when i was younger, but when i was younger i wasn't strong enough to fight back, I am now"
"Arthur" Merlin started sighing "That isn't reason to fight with another grown man, He could press charges against you"
"Well we will deal with that if it happens" Arthur snapped back.
Merlin stood back slightly taking the ice pack off Arthur's eye and looking down at his feet
"I ... I'm sorry Merlin, i didn't mean to snap at you, i just get so angry at homophobic people"
"You're an idiot" Merlin said and kissed below his eye where it was bruising "We need to sort Jack out though"
They went and spoke to Sophia and Jack and they all decided Jack could live there with them.
That night at Midnight
Arthur woke up and could hear giggling from Sophia's room
"I'm going to kill them" Arthur yawned getting up
"Arthur, the novelty will wear off baby, it's the first night living together, it's exciting for them, and besides they are likely to fall out within a day" Merlin said
"That's true, but they do need to sleep" Arthur said and walked out of the room, Merlin just sighed and rolled his eyes, turning over to go back to sleep.
Sophia and Jack were talking when Arthur opened the door
"Go to sleep. Now. Both of you" Arthur snapped "you have school in the morning, if i hear you again, then one of you will be in the spare room tonight"
"The spare room is full of junk Dad" Sophia said
"Well think about what you will be sleeping amongst then lady" Arthur said and slammed the door and went back to bed
"how did that go?" Merlin said smirking as Arthur wrapped his arm around him
"I got answered back" Arthur sighed and kissed Merlin "I love you"
"I love you more" Merlin smiled
"Wanna bet?" Arthur laughed
"You sound like a teenager"
