Chapter 9

Wes and David wished they never had to leave David's. Much like Dalton it was a safe place where Wes could feel accepted and loved. But his senior year was nearly upon them and his father was still pushing for Medschool. Wes didn't want to be a Dr. Sure the proffession was highly respected, but it wasn't what he wanted to do. Honestly he hated blood and gore, so working in ER probably wasn't what he should be doing.

"I want to tell them," Wes said softly, laying on his side, facing David on the other boys bed, their fingers intwined in the middle of them. David, whom had been resting his eyes, opened them to look at his boyfriend, a nervous and worried look in his face. "David, I love you and I'm sick of lying, they can either accept me or have nothing to do with me. But I want to be with you. I was wondering if you wanted to come with?"

David hesitated. "For you, I'd do anything." Closing the gap between them, the boys shared a sweet kiss.

"I love you," Wes murmered against David's lips.

"I love you too," David smiled. Pulling Wes against him David stroked his fingers through Wes' hair thereputically sensing his boyfriend's nerves.

They took David's car to Wes' family home. "Shit," Wes cursed beneath his breath.

"What is it?"

"My grandparents are here." Wes replied softly.

"Do you still want to do this?" He asked equally as softly, taking Wes' hands in his own.

"Yeah," Wes said nodding, taking a deep breath and stealing one last kiss from David he got out of the car. His bag on his shoulder and dufflebag in his hands he let them into the house. Hearing voices in the sittingroom he took a deep breath and called out, "Mom, Dad, I'm home."

"We're in the lounge dear."

"Wait here," he mouthed to David who nodded. With a final sigh he entered the lounge, his mother was sat beside his grandmother- her mother- his father was standing with his grandfather by the window, discussing bussiness he assumed.

"Wes, how was England?"

"It was great mom, but I need to talk to you guys. About something serious- Just out of curiosity, do you prefer 'drip-fed' info or 'band aid just get it over with?" They frowned at his question.

"Wes?" He mother said quietly.

"I- I- Ugh- Mom, Dad, I..." He hesitated. "I'm in love-"

"Oh that's wonderful news, who is she? Do we know her parents?"

"You know the parents, yes."

"Who is she?"

"Well... It's not exactly-"

"What's wrong darling? Doesn't she like you back?"

"It isn't that-"

"We-"

"It's David. I'm in love with David!" The room fell silent. In the hall David faceplamed hearing his boyfriend's outburst.

The silence lasted...
