Chapter 3

Gus sat in English beside Jake.

"I'm gonna fail this, I didn't understand it" Gus complained about his essay.

"It'll be alright, yours is better than mine!" Jake started playing with the lace on his converses.

The teacher came in, Mr. Meyres. The thin, small, blonde teacher began to speak "I want your essays" He walked around the classroom collecting them. Gus and Jake handed theirs up. For the rest of the class Mr. Meyres was reading the novel. The class flew in, soon the bell for the end of the class rang. Jake went to Gus's locker with him.

"Hey, you wanna pretend to be sick to get off?" Jake leaned against the locker beside Gus's. Gus was putting his english stuff back.

"Em, alright but where do you want to go? My house is probably free" Gus shut his locker and stuffed his books into his bag.

"Yeah" Jake pushed himself off the locker. They both walked down the filled hallways.

"Hey queer!" A jock called out to Gus as him and Jake walked by the 'jock corner'

"Who you calling queer!" Gus whipped around to face the main jock who did the name calling.

"You and your two faggot dads!" The jock was taller and stronger then Gus.

"Fuck off!" Gus swung at the jock getting him right on nose. The jock returned as good as he got. Jake quickly got between the two before Gus got some real damage done.

"C'mon Gus" Jake pushed Gus away.

"Yeah, you wanna walk away" The jock shouted with all his buddies laughing. Jake had to hold Gus back before he ran at the jock.

"Why the fuck did you get into the fight?" Jake asked standing in front of an open frigde getting ice for Gus's eye.

"No one says anything like that about my family!" He defended. Gus sat at the kitchen table.

"Ok, sorry" Jake handed Gus the ice.

He put it to his eye, he hissed with the pain.

"Are you ok? Emotionly aswell I mean" Jake sat down across from Gus.

"Yeah, I'm worried about JR" He told Jake about her walking to school.

"JR's strong, I think she'll be fine" He paused for a few seconds "Hey can I stay the night?" Jake asked shyly.

"I hope she is. Sure you can stay" Gus whined again as he touched the ice to his face again. Both Gus and Jake went upstairs to play videogames.

Ben, Michael and JR walked out of the police station. They had been talking to the officer that brought her to Brian and Justin's. She got off all charges if she named the person who gave her the drugs, she did because Michael made her.They all got in the car. While driving JR to school Ben started talking while sitting in traffic.

"JR you know you're in a lot of trouble don't you? We're going to have a really long talk about this when we get home" Ben looked back at JR who sat in the backseat. She nodded in response.

"Good" The light changed, Ben began to drive. The next five minutes were slient until they pulled up outside the school.

"I'll go in with you explain why you're late" Michael and JR got out of the car and walked into the school. They walked towards the principal's office, JR looked around nervously, she knew she'd be in trouble for telling on Chelsea and Zack would probably would go off her now.

"JR, you okay?" Michael looked at her, she was very pale.

"Yeah, just tired" She lied.

"I bet you are" Michael said in a sarcasm filled voice.

After Michael explained everything to the principal, who reminded him of a David Hasselhoff wannabe, JR went to class. Michael asked the principal what class Gus was in, he needed to say something important to him. The principal told him he was feeling ill so he went home with his friend. Michael left and went back to the car.

"Well?" Ben asked.

"Everything's fine, he just wants to speak to us someday this week about JR"

"Ok. Where to?" He asked starting the engine.

"Will you take me to Brian and Justin's? Gus went home sick and I just wanna check on him" Michael fasten his seltbelt.

"Are you sure after what you said about Brian?" Ben asked reversing the car.

"Yeah, It's Brian's fault not Gus's" Michael tapped his fingers off his leg.

"If you say so. I have to go to work after I drop you off" Ben said never taking his eyes off the road.

"It's alright I was planning to go to the diner anyway" He answered still tapping his leg with his fingers.

Ben dropped Michael off outside Brian and Justin's house. Michael used his key because Brian kept telling him too. He unlocked the door and walked in, he couldn't see Gus.

"Hey Gus" Michael called, no answer. He waited, still no answer. He thought Gus was lieing about being sick. He went upstairs and knocked on Gus's bedroom door. He heard Gus laughing "Gus?"

"Oh yeah" He answered. Michael walked into the room. Jake was sitting on the beanbag against the bed. Gus was lying on the bed.

"Hi, I thought you were sick?" Michael asked looking curiously around the bedroom. He took note of Gus's eye "What happened to your eye?" He asked.

Gus sat up "It was my locker, the door's a bit stiff" He hoped Michael believed him.

"Ok" Michael sounded like he didn't believe him "Is that why you came home?" He asked.

"No, I was sick earlier. I think I'm getting better" Gus said with a sweet smile.

"Oh right, sure" Michael agreed "Do your dads know?" He asked standing by the door.

"Yeah, I called dad but he was in a meeting with an important client, a big new account I think. But I was given permission" Gus leaned forward on his bed.

"Alright, I was just checking on you. I'm going to go" Michael left the room. He forgot what he was going to tell him.

"Thanks" Gus called out to him, Michael left the house and walked in the direction of the diner.

JR sat in geography class. Chelsea sat behind her writing a note trying to find out what happened when she got home and when she went to the station. She passed the note to JR.

"Jenny Rebecca, is that a note I see?" Ms. Jacob asked looking over her glasses. She stood beside her desk "Hand it up to me" JR got up from her seat, which was near the back of the class, and handed it to the teacher. She walked back to her seat and sat down.

After the class was over Ms. Jacob stopped JR as she was leaving the classroom. JR sat at a desk near the teacher's.

"Is everything alright?" Ms. Jacob, the dark-haired teacher, asked. She was leaning against her desk.

"Yeah Miss" She lied playing with her dark wavy hair.

"Are you sure Jenny? I heard about what happened. I'm here for you if you need to talk" Ms Jacob smiled warmly.

"Thanks" JR returned the smile and left the classroom.

Chelsea was waiting at JR's locker.

"Well! You never told me what happened?" Chelsea stood with her schoolbag hanging on one shoulder. She was playing with the string bit on her bag that always hung down.

JR opened her locker "The cop took me to Brian and Justin's, they didn't really give out to me but when my dad's came in the morning to pick me up they gave out to me and I had to go to the police station" JR paused and looked at Chelsea "I had to tell them it was you who gave me the drugs"

"You what?! Oh my God, I thought you were my friend" She stormed off before JR could say anything.

'Shit! This is just great!' She thought.

She walked down the hall to get to her next class. She walked pass the principal's office, she saw Hunter. 'What's going on today'

The principal saw JR and waved her in. She walked in and sat down beside Hunter.

"What's going on?" She asked. Hunter sat still.

"Jenny, your father Michael Novotny has been knocked down and is in hospital" The principal spoke calmly.

JR went pale "No" Her voice was nearly gone.

"I'm afraid so" The principal shook his head sadly.

"I've come to take you to the hospital" Hunter said. He had grown up nicely, he kept his hair the same and his style matured, he was now a shirt and jeans man.

"Alright" JR could barely reply. Hunter thanked the principal and they both left.

When they got outside Hunter handed JR a helmet for his motorbike. It was dark red and Hunter's baby. JR loved the bike and loved when Hunter took her for a ride on it. They both put on their helmets and they went to the hospital.

Justin was in his studio when he got a call, it was off Hunter, he was telling him about Michael's accident.

"Ok, I'll be right there" Justin told him and hung up the phone. He called Brian as he left.

"Hello" Brian answered, he was sitting at his desk looking over a new ad campaign.

"Brian, Michael's in the hospital. he got knocked down. I'm on my way now" Justin sounded a bit panicked.

"Okay, I'll be there soon. I'll go home and get Gus" Brian was worried.

"Why's Gus at home?" Justin asked putting on his jacket.

"He was off school sick but I was in a meeting and he couldn't get through to you, when I was out of the meeting I gave him permission"

"Alright, I'll see you soon"

"Bye" Brian and Justin hung up.

Brian left and drove towards his house. He rushed out of the car and into the house "Hey Sonnyboy!" No answer.

He ran upstairs and opened the bedroom door. He couldn't of been more surprised by what he saw. Gus and Jake were making out on the floor. He stood there to be sure of what he saw.

"Dad!" Gus looked up in surprise. Brian closed the door. He heard Gus and Jake talking. He decided to go downstairs and wait 'What a day' He thought.

He sat in the dining room. He called Justin.

"Hello" Justin answered.

"Hi sunshine, we have a problem, well not a problem but our sweet son is a flaming homo" Brian laughed.

"What? Really?" Justin asked. Brian could hear cars speeding by, he knew Justin was driving.

"Yeah" Brian heard them leaving the bedroom "I hear them. I'll be there real soon"

"Okay" He answered.

"Bye"

"Bye"

Brian hung up and went into the living room where Gus and Jake stood awkardly.

"I better go" Jake left the house.

"Sonnyboy, you wanna tell me what happened?" Brian asked walking towards Gus.

"Dad,I" Gus fell into his dad's arms sobbing.

"It's alright sonnyboy" Brian rubbed Gus's shoulder.

Gus stood back "Dad, I don't know if I'm gay" Gus's voice began to crack "I never thought I was but I dunno. I just" Gus swallowed the lump in his throat.

"It's alright, It's alright" Brian soothed.

"I'm sorry" He apologised.

"For what?" Brian asked.

"I know you don't want me to be gay" Gus wiped his eyes.

"I never said that" Brian's phone rang. It was Justin telling him to get to the hospital because Michael was getting worst.

"We have to go to the hospital, Michael has been knocked down" Brian found it hard to say, it was like a story that could never happen.

"Really, c'mon lets go" Gus got his jacket. Gus and Brian rushed out of the house.
