Chapter 7
"Thanks for bailing out on me by the way." Will spoke to T in his room.
Later that evening, Will and his parents went out for dinner. His brothers were gone by the time he got home. Will was angry with them, and couldn't understand either of them. Dinner was now finished and their parents were sitting in the family room talking.
"You're welcome. So what's for homework?"
"Wow T. So subtle. I didn't get it."
"What? Why the hell not?"
"I was actually trying to work on some of it. But Sonny interrupted me. And we got to talking and didn't see the time." Will sat on top of the bed.
"Sure. If I believed that." T laughed at him. Will grabbed a pillow and threw it at his friend.
"Shut up."
"How was practice?"
"It was good. I still can't believe you didn't show."
"I told you. I'm sick." T faked a cough.
"Cover your mouth." Will put his hands in front of his face.
"So?" T asked.
"So, what?" Will replied back with a shake of his head.
"How did it go with Sonny?" T plopped down on the bed next to him.
"What are you talking about? Nothing happened."
"Oh, come on Will. I wasn't born yesterday."
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Will got up from the bed and walked towards the desk and sat on the chair twirling in it.
"Really Will?"
"Really T?"
"At least tell me this. Are you ever going to tell him?"
"No." Will said quickly.
"Why not? I think he deserves to know."
"And ruin the chance of a great friendship? I don't think so T. And besides, what if he doesn't feel the same way?"
"Oh, I think someone's got it bad." T laughed at him.
"Shut up dork." They were upstairs for quite a while, so they decided to head back downstairs. As soon as they descended the stairs, Will's parents had gotten up and were getting ready to leave.
"We better get going." He heard his parents say.
"Awe shucks man. I was hoping you would stay for a while longer."
"Yeah me too. Another time." They gave each other a brotherly hug before Will joined his parents.
"We should do this again sometime." T's dad responded.
"We should." Jared agreed.
"And bring out that grill and enjoy the day out."
"Sounds like a plan. Alright, see you."
"See you." The three of them headed out.
