"I promise that it won't always be like this." John said. They were under the school bleachers.

Randy looked down. "You've been saying that for the past few months now John."

"I know but this time I mean it." John walked up to Randy. "I love you so much."

Randy smiled "I love you too."

John kissed Randy. "I have to go, I'll see you later."

Randy nodded "Bye." He said watching him go then going off himself.

…

Later that day

"Are you guys crazy?" John said. "I can't do that."

"Why not?" Dolph said smiling. "Do you have feelings for the little homo?"

"No." John lied.

"Then do it." Chris said handing him the can of spray paint. "If you don't it's bacially telling us that you're a homo."

John took the bottle from him. "I'm not a fucking homo."

…

"I"m not trying to sound mean but John's not coming out anytime soon." Cody said. "You're my friend and I just don't want to see you get hurt."

"He's right." Ted said. "John loves his popularity and if he comes out he's going to lose everything."

"Then where does that leave me?" Randy asked. "I'm a big part of his life too."

"Maybe you should talk to him about it." Kelly said.

"I talk to him about this all the time." Randy said.

"Just break up with him." Justin said. "Do it before he hurts you."

"He would never do that to me." Randy said.

"I know but peer pressure can be a bitch and John will do anything to prove to everyone that he's not gay." Ted said. "Sooner or later they're going to talk him into something."

Kelly saw John at Randy's locker. "It might be to late for that."

Randy followed her gaze to his locker and saw John with a spray bottle in his hands. When he moved away Randy's whole world came crashing down. FAG was written on his locker. "Oh my god."

"Look there goes the little fag now." Wade said.

John froze and didn't want to turn around and face Randy but he knew the others were watching. When he did turn around he couldn't miss the hurt in Randy's eyes but instead of just standing there he ended up laughing when his friends did.

Randy couldn't tear his eyes away from John until Kelly pulled him away. Justin, Cody and Ted just stood there and watched as John slapped hands with the others.

"I should kick his ass for that." Ted said.

"Come on." Ted's younger brother Cody said grabbing his arm. "He's not worth it."

"But he's sure as hell going to pay for this." Justin said following Cody and Ted down the hall.

"Let's go." Hunter said to John and the others.

John stood there thinking what the hell did he just do before running off with the others.

…

After school

Kelly pulled up into Randy's driveway. "Are you sure you're going to be okay?"

Randy nodded. "Yeah I'll be fine."

"Hey I'm really sorry about what happened with John." Kelly said. "If you need anything just call me and I'll be here."

Randy smiled. "Thanks Kelly, I'll see you tomorrow." He got out of her car and headed inside. Going up to his room he dropped his bag on the floor and plopped down on his bed. His phone started ringing but he ignored it. After it rang a few more times he turned it off and threw it on the floor.

Just as he did his mother walked in. "Hey baby."

"I hate my life." Randy muffled into his pillow.

His mother picked up his phone and sat it on his dresser. "What's going on?"

"I'm breaking up with John." Randy said.

"Why?" She asked/

Randy looked down. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Well I'm here if you need anything/" She said getting up.

"I just want to be alone." Randy said "Is it okay if I stay home tomorrow?"

"Sure." His mother said. "Dinner will be soon, okay."

Randy nodded. "Okay." Turning over he picked up his phone and turned it back on. Not bothering to look at the missed call log he deleted them all and laid back down on his bed.

…

Randy woke up the next day feeling not much better than he did the day before. He jumped up when he heard banging on the door. "What?"

"Hey." Cody said walking in, the others behind him.

"What are you guys doing here?" Randy asked closing the door behind them.

"You're mom told us you were staying home and we thought you might like some company." Kelly said.

Randy sighed "You guys didn't have to come."

"We didn't want you to be alone." Justin said.

Randy really didn't want to be around anyone but whenever his friends were with him he always felt better.

…

John was going crazy, he had spent all night trying to get in contact with Randy and the others but none of them wanted anything to do with him. He was heading to his locker when he passed Randy's. The word fag still written on it. Randy was his whole like and he blew it for people he didn't even consider his friends. His true friends were Cody, Ted, Kelly, Justin and Randy. They've been friends since middle school but that changed when Randy came out. John had no choice but to start avoiding them because he didn't want other to know about him. His own family didn't know the truth and he preferred to keep it that way. Ever since middle school he and Randy have been in the closet be now that was all over.

"That was messed up what you did to him John." Eve said walking up to him. "I never thought you would turn into those dicks you hang out with."

"You don't know anything." John said.

"I know that he was your friend." Eve said. "He didn't deserve that, no one does."

She walked off, leaving John feeling even worse for what he did. Pulling out his phone he called Randy who didn't answer and he was about to leave a message but he spotted Hunter heading his way. "Hey dude." He said hanging up his phone.

"Who's your girlfriend?" Hunter asked referring to Eve.

"She's not my girlfriend." John said.

"You know I've never seen you with a girl before." Hunter said. "Why don't you ask someone out."

"I'm not looking for a relationship." John said.

"I'm not asking you to run off and marry someone." Hunter said. "Why don't you want to ask a girl out, are you dating someone?"

"No." John said.

"Then ask someone out." Hunter smiled. "Unless theres a reason why you don't want too."

John sighed "Fine."

…

That night

Randy was at his computer when his phone rang, it was John. He really didn't want to talk to him but he needed closure. "Hey John."

"Can we talk." Randy said.

Randy sighed. "There's nothing more to talk about John. I can't do this anymore, the lies and the secrets is too much."

"Randy I'm sorry about what happened yesterday." John said.

"I'm tired of hearing I'm sorry John." Randy said. "It's over John, now you are free to do whatever you want, I have to go." Before John could say anything else Randy hung up the phone.

John sat there with the phone to his ear for a while. He couldn't believe what had just happened. He lost his friends and now the love of his life. He was one hundred percent sure that his life was over.
