Here it is. It's short, I know. I think I had my first writing-blackout
Disclaimer: You know...
The next happening was two years later. Meanwhile we never spoke about what had occurred at the camping trip. I stood at Kendall's, cause Mom and Dad were on a trip to celebrate their 20th wedding day. Every day was the same. Waking up, breakfasting, playing in the rink, returning, eating dinner and going to sleep. But the last night wasn't like the others. It changed my life.
We sat on Kendall's bed and talked.
"It's fucking shit that I have to leave tomorrow" I said sounding a little bit pissed.
"Yeah, but you just leave my house. It's no move out of Minnesota, drama queen."
"I'm not a drama queen!" My voice got high.
"If you say so" he taunted.
"I just enjoyed the time here." I gave him a small smile.
Suddenly he turned around and laid back, his head resting on my lap.
"I enjoyed it too."
I felt my face getting red and looked away quickly, before he recognized it.
"You're OK?"
"Yeah" I replied shortly and tried to not let him get a look at my face.
He sat up and looked at me with a worried expression, which briefly turned into a big smile.
"James Diamond, I've never seen you blushing before."
"I'm not blushing! It's ... just ... hot in here."
"Oh, you're right. The window is open since hours and it's cold outside. How could I ever forget that it's hot in here?" he said sarcastically.
"Fine! I was blushing! Happy?"
"Completely."With a self-satisfied smile on his face, he laid back and I blushed again.
"Oh, it's hot in here again?"
"Stop being sarcastically. You know I hate that."
"And I love how it's getting on your nerves."
I looked directly in his eyes. In his adorable, green eyes. There was a kind of happiness in it, which I couldn't determine.
"James ... I need to ask you something" He said and sat up.
"Bring it on."
"Do you like me?"
"Sure, buddy."
"No I mean "do you like me" as a kind of ... love." With the last word, he broke off the eye contact.
"Um... I ... I don't know. Do you like me?"
"I thought about it a long time." He took a deep breath. "Yes I do."
"I need to brush my teeth!" I ran out of the room and locked the bathroom door. Leaning on the basin, I looked in the mirror. Tears were running down my face. Why did you run out of the room? You know you love him and now as the time has come you back down from telling him. You're such an chicken-hearted idiot!
After a few hours of self-abusing, I sneaked back into Kendall's room and crawled under my blanket.
"I love you, Kendall Knight." I whispered to myself, trying to hold back a sob.
"Love you, James." It made me smile that it hurt. I stood up and walked to his bed. After I laid down behind him, I kissed him on his cheek. "Night, Kendy."
Come on guys, help me!
