The Party – Ahkmenrah

Happy.

Larry and I finally told each other that we love each other. We were currently kissing each other. I could feel the love in our kiss. It was nice.

"As much as I would love to stay here with you, we should get back to the party." Larry told me once our kiss ended. I pouted at him, but I knew he was right, so I nodded my head. When we walked to the room the party was in, we saw that Nick and Nova were arriving together.

"Ahkmenrah!" Someone snapped harshly. It was my brother, and he looked angry.

"Yes Kahmunrah?" I asked, tying to sound polite.

"I would like a word alone with you." Kah said, as he glared at Larry.

"I'm going to go talk with Arcadia and Octavius." Larry told me before he walked away. I watched him walk away, and then turned to my brother.

"What did you need to talk about?" I asked, curious and confused. Kah has not shown any interest in speaking with me before. We don't really get along.

"You and Larry, you two are a couple?" It was a question, like he didn't believe me when I had originally told him about my relationship with him. "You are really gay? It is not just a phase?"

"Yes Kahmunrah, I am gay. I love Larry very much. I am completely gay." I explained, a little offended.

"You are a disgrace!" Kah growled, stepping towards me. "You should be disowned and forgotten."

"Father and Mother will still love me and wouldn't care about my sexual preferences." I was getting angry. I was trying to avoid this conversation with my homophobic brother for as long as I could.

"You should date a woman Ahkmenrah."

"I have no interest in women, and you know that."

"Date a woman, or I will end your life." Kah threatened before storming off. I was shocked that he said all that. I knew he wouldn't approve, but I didn't think he'd be against it that much. All the happiness I felt was gone now. A few moments later, Larry returned to me. He clearly saw that I wasn't as happy as I once was.

"What's wrong Ahk?" Larry questioned, clearly concerned.

"Kah just told me that he wants to murder me because he is against being homosexual. He also added some other horrible things as well." I explained but was looking at the floor. I wasn't going to tell him that Kah wanted me to date a woman. When I looked up at Larry, I could see he looked angry.

"Where'd Kah go? I think I need to have a talk with him."

"No Larry, just ignore him. He's all talk, he wouldn't hurt me." I grabbed a hold of his arms. I wasn't about to let him pick a fight with my brother. He would lose the fight, since Kah is a boxer.

"Fine. I'll ignore him." I sighed happily. I was happy that he wasn't pushing it. I just wanted to go enjoy the party. Larry and I headed over to the alcohol. We drank a little and by the time we were done drinking, there were a lot more people. Music was loud, people were talking, drinking and dancing. It was a real party now. Larry and I made our way around. We talked to our friends, and talked to those we didn't really know.

"Larry, let's dance." I grabbed my boyfriend's hand and pulled him to the other people dancing. We had drank a lot more by now so our dancing wasn't really dancing. Soon, we were just making out sloppily while other people watched. When I saw others were watching, I decided to pull Larry outside to the front of the house.

"Ahk? What are we out here for?" Larry questioned, unsure of my intentions.

"It was getting stuffy in there. Plus, I just want to relax out here with you." I told him as I sat down on the swing in the yard. It is one of those porch swings for two or three people. My mother loved it so she has a few of these around the house, and it seems like I love them as well.

"Alright Ahk." Larry sat down next to me. It was getting dark now. The stars were shining and the crickets were making all their noises, like a cute little song.

"Ahkmenrah?" Larry and I turned to see Kah. He had a drink in his hand.

"Kah, what do you want now?" Larry snapped. Kah just glared at him before looking at me and holding out the cup.

"I wanted to apologize for what I told you earlier. I'm your older brother, I should support your decisions." Kah held out the drink. "You're favorite alcohol. As an apology." I took the drink from him, and watched him walk away instantly, leaving Larry and I alone again.

"Ahk, don't drink it." Larry warned. I just rolled my eyes.

"Larry, Kah wouldn't hurt me." I drank all that was in the cup. I could taste that something was wrong and I could felt that something was wrong, but it was too late to spit it out. I began to cough, so hard that I collapsed to the ground. As I coughed, blood came up and with the blood came horrible pain. I'm not sure, but I believe I was groaning in pain. I could hear Larry asking me if I was okay, but I couldn't reply to him. I was coughing up more blood and was in worse pain now.

"Ahk don't die!" I heard Larry yell. I felt I was being pulled into his car. I felt that Larry was driving his car. I only can assume that he was taking me to the hospital. "Please Ahk, do not die!" When the car stopped, I heard Larry get out of the car and yell to people about something, most likely me. I felt people pick me up and take me into the bright hospital. I could no longer feel anything. My whole body has gone numb. I could hear people talking, and beeping but nothing was clear. Everything was bright and the brightness just kept growing. Soon, everything around me faded to white, and I felt myself sink into the white with everything else.
