I pull into the driveway and shut off the car. I should probably get a car of my own. Having to share a car gets really annoying after a wile.
I shut off the car and walk into the house where my parents are waiting with their arms crossed.
"CRAIG TUCKER!" Oh god. My mom is pissed. Don't blame her though.
"Just what in the HELL were you thinking? Beating up poor Eric was the worst idea you have ever had!"
"I know, mom. I'm sorry!"
"Oh you will be Craig." I really don't want to deal with this right now.
"Honey I think you're over-reacting. It's not that big of a deal." Yes. Way to go dad!
"NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL?!"
"He's a boy. He does boy things. Like watch football, fix things, and bang chicks. Am I right son?" Oh god dad I hate you again.
"Y-yeah dad." I hope he didn't pick up on the hesitance in my voice.
My mom gives my dad a look. "…Well, Craig, did you learn your lesson?"
I nod in response; anything to get me outta being in trouble.
"Alright. Go to your room." She signals me to go upstairs before going back to the couch and picking up her beer.
I make my way up the stairs. Jesus. How am I going to tell my dad I'm gay? He won't be too happy with that. He might even disown me. Ugh. I can't think about that right now.
I pick up the phone and call Tweek. He'll make me feel a little bit better about the whole thing. I wait on hold for 10 minuets for a nurse to pick up the phone.
"Hello, Denver Medical Clinic how may I help you?"
"Hi. I'm calling to talk to my friend Tweek Tweak."
"Okay I will transfer you. He only has 10 minuets for a phone call I'm sure you know the drill."
"Yes I do. Thank you."
The phone clicks and the lounge music starts to play. I wait patiently for him to answer.
"H-hello?" I hear his shaky voice.
"Hey, dude. How're you doing?"
"Fine. They say I'm gonna be out in about 5 days!"
"That's great!" My mood lifts just from hearing that. That statement made my whole day better.
"I know." He sighs. "I miss you."
"Miss you too man."
There's a pause. "W-when I see you, I'll give you the- GAH! … Biggest kiss. Ever."
I chuckle. His ticks are so adorable. Everyone else thinks they are annoying. I like them though since they're coming from him. That makes absolutely no sense.
"Hey, Tweekers?"
"Yeah?"
"… I love you." I feel blood rush to my cheeks.
"I love you too, Craig." Tweek replied. There is an eerie pause. "Hey, Craig? I'm sorry. I wish I was there for you. I wish that I didn't – NGH! … Worry you so much."
"Tweek, stop." I take a deep breath. Deep down, I miss him so much. I wish he was here too. "The important thing is that you get better."
"Okay." His voice sounds flat like he was still bothered by it. "I gotta go. Nurse says time's up."
"Okay. Ill talk to you tomorrow."
The receiver clicks. He hung up.
