Just one chapter and it already got 6 favs! Jeez guys, thanks. Now the story.
We just kept playing Rock Storm along with Rock and Spud. I knew it wasn't going to last forever, but it was a lot better that being alone with Lorenzo.
We played for hours and just having a good time like friends do, until Rock said he and Spud needed to go, since Spud can't go home by his own because of his late time reactions, so he was going with him, leaving us alone.
"See ya later dudes" said Rock while he and Spud were leaving the house, Spud was quiet for some second until he said goodbye too. His time reaction has improved a bit.
"See ya later too, dude" I said and then they leave me and Lorenzo alone. Just great. Just what I didn't want. Just an awkward silence between us.
"Chet, I-"
"No thanks, I don't really feel like talking right now, I have some other things to do right now" I said cutting him off. I got up and left the room, leaving him alone.
We were like that the whole day, me making up excuses so I didn't have to talk to him. But then night fell, and I was already tired from the whole day. Great, why our jerk parent made us share a room?
I couldn't be like this forever, so I gave up and got into our bedroom, when I saw Lorenzo was already on bottom bed in our bunk bed, obvious anger on his face.
"Can we now talk for at least goddamn second jerk?" He said, annoyance on his voice.
"There's nothing to talk about, jerk" I replied
"Oh, but of course there is" He said while getting up from his bed, getting closer to me "This morning you just said that you are gay and-"
I cut him off before he could finish "Yeah, I know, I'm totally gross, don't need to say it on my face. You just need to bear with me this year before we go to college so you don't have to-" when he interrupted me, putting his hand on my shoulders and making me turn me eyes to him.
"Could you at least let me finish what I was saying jerk!?" He said, what left me speechless. "What made you think I was going to be angry just for that?" He said as he put a smile on his face.
"It doesn't bother you know that I am 'you know what'?" I asked in disbelief.
"Why should it?" He replied "It's not my problem what you like. You're my friend and, above all, my brother" He said with a smile on his face.
Brother.
"Hug me brother!" He said as he put his arms around me, as I just hugged him back.
Brother.
We were like that for a while, that I wished would never end, but it had to after a while.
"So, we're good?" Lorenzo asked.
"Totally!" I said, trying to put a smile on my face. But of course we still had problems, but I didn't want to talk about them now.
"Ok dude, but I think it's already time to sleep" He said in a drowsy voice, letting out a yawn. "Goodnight, brother" he said as he got into his bed.
"Yeah, goodnight too" I said as I climbed the stairs to get into my bed. "Brother" I whispered.
Brother.
I really hate that word now.
It just feels so wrong to me now. It doesn't feel right saying you like your brother in a romantic way. Maybe we're not blood related, but knowing that I'm like a real brother to him just makes me feel so guilty.
If only our parent have never got married, if only we had met in other way, if only we were not related now, if only I didn't feel so guilty for having this feelings for him. Things would be a lot easier if only we still hated each other like we used to two years ago when my mom married his dad.
"I love you brother" I said as a whisper.
I wish things could be different.
Is my English still horrible? I'd like your opinions.
