Silence is abundant, which seems to happen since Kendall came out.You expect James to bitch, to complain about how Kendall just blew his dream or for Carlos to wonder aloud how they're going to stay in L.A. or if they're even going to. I wonder this myself, but out of politeness I don't ask.
There's no radio, no chatter, just the wind to loud and sound of the street. No one attempts to make conversation, but what would we say?
"Hey, Kendall, just curious but, as a homosexual do you find us attractive?"
The sad thing is, there was a good chance James might ask that. Or Carlos asking if he had ever watched us change. They've never been actually good at comforting or being tactful. That's normally my job, while Kendall solves the problem. But this wasn't a real problem, if you ignored the fact that I suck big time for not defending my friends, or that our boss – or ex-boss is an ass.
Politely I decide to keep my mouth shut – again. Rather than risk getting Kendall mad, I don't think that'd be the best. I'm a little worried he's going to do something insane.
I guess my mind started to wander a bit, because the next thing I know, James is whining to me because I missed the exit. I follow the road back, until I get us back on the route.
I guess since James broke the silence Carlos assumed it was okay to talk, and normally I wouldn't have minded, but what he said was what we had all been scared to ask, well one of them – there was a lot.
"Does your mom know?" He turns to Kendall, his tone calm and doesn't fit his personality.
Kendall blushes, before shaking his head 'no'. Unfortunate for us, Carlos doesn't stop. He doesn't read our minds and shut up like we're all wishing he would.
"Are you going to tell her?" Even though his opinion isn't needed Kendall seems to consider it. He licks his lips nervously and I don't really know why I'm staring. I force myself to stop.
"I wasn't, but I'm going to have to, aren't I?" He gives me – us a bitter smile.
"Why?" James asks this, staring at Kendall.
"You don't think Gustavo's going to tell people? Or call my mom himself, to try and fix me?"
He says the last part worriedly, like that's been a worry of his for a while. I know his mom wouldn't do that – she loves Kendall. But, Kelly did to, and I certain Gustavo liked him to. Was prejudice that strong?
"She loves you Kendall." I say, trying to sound like the thought of sending Kendall away didn't scare me like crazy.
"Yeah, she does." He starts, like he's going to say more but he trails off.
Second chapter and I love the response of this story! I still don't own it no matter how many times I asked Santa Clause, so that sucks. This one's a little short, so ….sorry. Uh Question of the day: Who's "Boxxy"?
