Kates POV

I froze and my hand dropped from my mouth to my side. No one said anything. Justin eventually broke the silence. 'Kate.' This awoke me from my frozen state and I don't know if it was the shock or the alcohol or both, but suddenly I found it all quite funny.

'Ha' I laughed. I was also shaking my finger around and pointing 'Haha this is quite funny'

'Katie' said Andrew slowly and in a kind of pained voice. He looked quite uncomfortable as he sat there in just his jeans, but nowhere near as awkward as Justin looked sitting in just his boxers.

'You're a bastard' I said to Andrew in a surprisingly calm voice.

'Katie'

'You said, no you promised the only thing you were hiding was the thing with your mom. Now correct me if I'm wrong but I don't see her.' I was shouting now and they were just looking at me. 'I trusted you Andrew. I trusted you and you lied to me. You fucking lied. You lied and broke your promise!' My voice raised another level 'You fucking broke it!' I turned to go.

'Katie' Justin said 'Don't you see-'

I turned back to them 'Yeah, I see. I see fine.' I wrenched open the door and walked out past John who was standing outside and a couple of other people who had heard me shouting, no doubt. I went into the toilet and locked the door behind me. I sat with my back against the door and tears were rolling down my face. I couldn't believe he'd carried on lying. After he promised me. Suddenly my whole childhood had a different spin. Had he ever been honest with me?

After a while there was a knock on the door behind me. 'Kate?' It was Justin.

'Piss off Justin' I shouted to him. Then there was another knock.

'Katie?' came Andrews's voice, almost pleading with me.

'Go fuck yourself Andrew'

'Katie, please unlock the door. Let me explain.'

'Go to hell!' I shouted back at him. There was silence. Maybe he finally got it. I crawled over to the tissues and wiped my face but the tears kept falling.

A bit later there was a quiet knock. 'Kate?' It was John.

'Leave. Me. Alone.' I said

'Kate let me in please' I said nothing. 'I just wanna talk.'

'Is Andrew there?'

'Err, no' Slowly I got up and opened the door to let him in, locking it again behind him. I slid back down to the floor and he sat down opposite. 'It's a shock 'innit?'

'You knew?'

'Yeah I found out pretty much the same way as you.'

'At a party?'

'No' he laughed, 'lets just say Andrew and Justin have few secrets from me.' I looked down at my knees again and wiped my face.

'You know they're still the same people? They're not bad guys.'

I looked at him. 'I don't care.'

'Kate, just 'cos they're gay really doesn't mean you should hate them.' He didn't get it.

'No, I don't care that they're gay', he looked confused.

'You don't?'

'No! It doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that they didn't tell me.'

'Oh.' There was a knock at the door.

'Kate? John?' asked Justin.

'Can he come in?' John asked me. I nodded and moved so he could open the door. Justin stepped in warily and John shut the door behind him.

'Everything okay?' he asked John.

'Err yeah' he paused, 'she doesn't care.'

'What?'

'She doesn't care that he's gay'

'Really?' asked Justin looking at me.

'Is that what you all thought? That I care if you're gay?' they both nodded 'What? Why?'

'Well you kicked up a bit of a fuss'

'Yeah because Andrew didn't tell me, and he promised.

'Actually he kinda didn't' said Justin. I looked at him. Was he there? No.

'Yeah he did'

'Well he told me that he'd promised to tell you everything except what's up between him and his mom.' I nodded not getting it. 'Okay. Andrew probably should be telling you this but you won't talk to him' I slid back down to the floor and looked up at them. 'Andrew told me that when his mom found out he was gay she freaked. Saying it was against the bible or something and that he'd go to hell for it. That's one of the reasons he hates his mom. He thinks she'll stop loving him, so he did it first. Andrew thought that you might think the same 'cos you're religious. He didn't want you to hate him too.' Well that explains the deep religious questions I though to myself. 'When you went mad in there, told him to fuck off and to-'

'go to hell' I finished. Justin nodded.

'He thinks you hate him too. I just spent the last half hour with him. I think he's quite hurt.'

'So he hates his mom, 'cos he thinks she hates him and couldn't tell me in case I hated him too, which he now thinks I do?' I confirmed. I put my face in my hands. 'I've gotta talk to him, I have to fix this.' They both nodded and I sighed.

'He's in my room' supplied Justin.

I knocked on the door and went in. Andrew was sitting on the bed staring at the floor. 'Hey' I said, he continued to stare at the floor. His face looked as if he'd been doing some crying too. I sat down on the bed next to him. 'You want a drink?' I said holding out one of the two bottles I'd gone and got. He took it from me but didn't move other than that. 'I talked to Justin.' There was a long silence between each sentence I said. Partly as I waited to see if he'd say anything and partly because I sensed we both needed to do this slowly. 'He said this was part of the thing with your mom, that you didn't really lie to me.' I licked my lips as I waited, they felt dry and chapped. 'I'm sorry I called you a bastard.' He took a swig of his drink. Surely that's a good sign? 'It was a bit of an over reaction.' My voice was still soft and quiet but was starting to break as I tried to keep back the tears, him not even registering that he was listening. 'And I'm sorry I shouted at you.' The tears had now split over and were rolling down my cheeks 'I think I'd had a lot to drink.' He didn't reply. 'I still don't get why you couldn't tell me.' A single tear rolled down his face. Seeing it made mine come all the more faster. 'Justin said you think I hate you. Is that true? Is that what you think?' I waited for a reply but the only reply I got was Andrew's slightly shaky breathing. When it was obvious I wouldn't get a reply I continued. 'He told me what your mom said.' Silence. 'When I said go to hell I didn't mean that.' I said through my tears. 'Why did you think I was like her?' he closed his eyes. 'Is that why you kept asking me those questions?' He opened his eyes and looked at me, speaking for the first time.

'The answer you gave were just like the ones she'd give'

'How?'

'Sex before marriage, contraception you're both fine with. Abortion you're both against. Your mom died and my dad died yet you both still believe in God. Do you blame me for thinking you'd react the same way as her about this?' Well when he put it that way it did seem bad.

'But you never asked me.'

'You believe in the bible and if the bible says being gay is wrong why don't you believe it?'

'And in the bible it says love is right. And love is love Andrew.' He looked back at the floor. 'Andrew I don't hate you. I said I'm sorry for shouting. Please?' He looked at me and gave a small smile.

'We're cool.' Relief swept over me and my face broke into a smile, my cheeks stiff from the dried tears. I threw my arms around him in a hug. When I let go I was still smiling.

A/N: Hope it was okay. Sorry it was very dialogy but I've never been able to write descriptive dialogue. I don't know if I should end the fic here before i over write it or carry on. Please tell me. And PLEASE review! xxx
