Brian lay in his bed and looked up at the celling. His head was still throbbing from the accident yesterday. He didn't want to attract attention from his parents so he did not take any meds to ease the pain. Brian turned on his side. He wished he could ease the pain.

Brian's phone lit up and The Time is Now played through the room. Brian smiled. John was calling. Brian picked up the phone and answered.

"Hello."

"Hey Bri how's your head?" John asks.

"Good."

"You sure?"

"I'm fine."

"Brian."

"My head still heads, I need something to ease the pain."

"I can come over." John suggest, praying that Brian would say yes.

"Ok come over."

"I'm glad you said yes." John stops and takes a breath. "Because I'm outside your house about to knock on your door."

Brian gets up, phone still in hand, and runs into the door. Before John can knock, Brian opens the door.

"How did you get my address?"

"Your friends." Brian shook his head. "Come in then." John walked into the house and Brian closed the door.

"Brian honey, who is at the, Oh hi." Mrs. Kendrick said to John.

"Mom this is John."

"Oh Hi John my name is Britney."

"Hello ma'am I'm John Cena, sorry for not calling you first and asking for permission to come over."

"Oh dear its fine."

"Honey who's at the door." Mr. Kendrick, or whom John assumes to be stops and looks at John. "Who are you?"

"John Cena, sir." Mr. Kendrick looked at Brian and Brian nodded in confirmation.

"Come on lets go to my room." Brian said before his dad could go into interrogation mode. Brian grabbed John's hand and lead him to the basement.

"Door open." Mr. Kendrick yelled.

"Wasn't closing it padre." Brian heard his father laugh and walk away.

"Padre?" John question and sits down in one of the chairs.

"Don't ask." Brian sits on his bed and lays down.

"Your head."

"Mmmhmm."

"Here." John pulls out two white pills and hands them to Brian. "Tylenol." Brian takes them with the soda he had on the nightstand. "Thanks my night in shining armor."

John laughs and sits next to him on the bed. John puts his arm around Brian and Brian lays his head on John's shoulder.

"I'm gonna kill Dolph."

"Don't worry about it. Its all in the past."

"Hey John." Britney calls from upstairs.

"Ma'am."

"Are you staying for dinner?" John looks to Brian and Brian shakes his head yes.

"Yes ma'am."

"Ok."

John looks at Brian. "You want me to stay."

"Yeah you see its better if I'm around when my father starts asking questions."

Thirty minutes later the duo was called up for dinner. Brian's mom sat the food on the table and they started to eat."

"So you play sports?" Mr. Kendrick asks.

"Here we go." Brian whispers to John.

"Yes sir football."

"What position?"

"Running back." Mr. Kendrick looked a John. He was impressed.

"You gonna go pro."

"I would love to but if that doesn't work out. I would pursue a military career." John answers and then takes a bite of his food.

"You know Adrian was in the military." Mrs. Kendrick says, referring to her husband.

"What branch?" John asks.

"Marines."

"That's where I would like to go if I don't go pro. What rank did you retire in?"

"Major General."

"Wow. You must have been in the army for a long time."

"Straight out of High School. If you don't go pro, I can talk to some people for you about it."

"Wow thanks Mr. Kendrick."

"Adrian, please." Brian looked at his dad and his dad just smiled. John was a keeper.


Evan and Randy were sitting on the swing set in the park not far from Evan's house. The two just wanted to get out so they cam here.

"I love how it never gets cold in Florida, we can do this all year round." Evan says and gets off the swings and starts to walk around. Randy gets up and follows him.

"I didn't know you liked the outdoors so much."

"Love it."

"Then I'm going to have to take you camping on day. My family camps a lot."

"Really. You have to take me. I have never been camping my mom hates nature." Randy wraps his arm around Evan's waist ok. Randy pulls Evan in closer and tries to go for a kiss but is cut off by Evan pulling him in some bushes.

"What the."

"Look." Evan says in a whisper. Randy turns around to see Dolph and Jayson. Dolph's arms were wrapped around Jayson's waist. They came to the bench that was in front of them and sat on it.

"Dolph I can't believe you did that."

"What was I suppose to do just let Maria tell everyone about our relationship." Randy and Evan turn to each other and mouth relationship.

"But throwing Brian into a table was a bit much."

"I didn't throw him. It was a push and I had to do it or our relationship would have gotten out."

"This is too much of a hassle."

"So you want to break up now Jay."

"No never but we can't go anywhere with out looking over our shoulder." Jay sighs. "I can't wait till we graduate."

"Me too. Lets go." Dolph grabbed Jay's hand and they walked out of the park. Once they were far enough away, Randy and Evan popped up.

"We have to tell John and Brian tomorrow." Evan says.


"Are you serious?" Brian said with wide eyes.

"Yes we were right behind them." Evan says for the thousand time.

"Wow. That's just"

"Wrong." Rey suggest.

"Yeah." Brian looks over at Dolph then turns around and looks at Jayson. "We should help them come out to everyone." The footballers snort. "What."

"Dolph doesn't have the balls." Dave says and shakes his head. "Never gonna do it. You could put a loaded gun to his head and he still wouldn't admit it."

"Hey guys what's going on?" Shannon says and sits down next to Rey.

"Oh so glad that you could join us for lunch loco."

"Quiet." Shannon looks pass Rey and at the other guys. "Hi I'm Shannon."

"Dave."

"John."

"Adam."

"Randy."

"Ok so what were we talking about?" Brian explains the whole story to Shannon and he stares back in shock.

"Wow. What are you guys going to do?"

"As long as he stays away from Brian, nothing."


Rey was sitting in AP Biology when he felt something hit the back of his head. He looked down and saw a piece of balled up paper. He picked it up and opened it. It was a drawing. It was poorly drawled but Rey got the message. It was a picture of him with Alicia's hands around his neck. Rey turned around and looked at Alicia. She was facing the board but she had a smirk on her face. Rey turned around and smiled. How stupid could this girl be?

Once the bell rang, Rey rushed out of class and looked around for Dave. Rey put on his best angry/sad/scared face and went to him.

"Dave." Rey whined.

"What's wrong?"

"Look." Rey handed Dave the drawing and Dave looked at it.

"Who did this?" Dave asked. Rey could hear the anger in his voice.

"Alicia. Dave she is making some serious threats." Rey looked down and made it look like he was going to cry. "Maybe we should break up for our safety."

"No." That was all Dave said before he grabbed Rey's hand and drug him over to Alicia.

"Dave." Alicia said.

"Don't send things like this to my boyfriend ever again."

"Baby you are just fooling yourself. He is no boyfriend.
"He's no boyfriend."

"That's what I said."

"If he wasn't my boyfriend I wouldn't be able to do this." Dave bent down and kiss Rey on the lips. Alicia stood there. She became angrier and angrier as time went on and it wasn't helping that people were hooting and hollering in approval.

Rey wrapped his arms around Dave and kissed back. He never imagine that his first kiss would be in the school hallway but things never go as plan and he liked it. Dave broke the kiss and looked at Alicia.

"Don't mess with my boyfriend again."
