Chapter 26 Interlude Dak and Jett Part Three

Jett's POV

After two hours, he came finally. My heart constricted painfully when I saw his red and puffy eyes and the big bruise in this face.

»What are you doing here? «

His voice was so cold, I had to shiver.

»I came to apologize. «

Dak just stared at me. He got his keys out and went inside of his house, slamming the door shut. I sighed quietly and drew my legs to my chest. Then I buried my face in my legs. I just couldn't get the image of the way he looked at me out of my head. I couldn't forget his cold, almost hateful stare, the bruise on his chin he got from me and I couldn't grasp why I have been so stupid. I was startled when the door behind me opened.

»Why are you still sitting there? Come in. «

I stood up and mumbled.

»I wasn't sure whether I was still welcome or not. «

»I am not sure either. «

I nodded feeling sad and followed him into his room. We sat there in silence for a bit, until I hesitantly looked at him and asked:

»Can I see? «

Dak nodded and I gently took his chin and examined the bruise.

»I am sorry. «, I whispered.

He stood up abruptly and my hand fell onto the bed.

»Then why did you do it? I mean, what am I to you? Because it certainly feels like I am only sex for you. Or maybe you are setting me up and nothing of this is real. The only thing we do is fucking. We don't talk; we don't spend time with each other. We don't even make love or cuddle! And to be honest, I like you and I don't want to be played. But... I am afraid that you will hurt me. «

I stood up too and got close to him.

»I'm sorry. I did not know that you feel this way. «

He sighed.

»I don't want you to apologize. I want you to tell me how you feel. «

I sat back down. My mind reeling with different thoughts and emotions. Finally, I replied:

»I don't know how... «

Dak frowned.

»What do you mean? «

I sighed.

»Have you met my father? «

He thought about it for a moment.

»Yeah. He was a bit distant. «

I snorted.

»You can say that. My mom died when I was three. I barely remember her. But my father... He is an overbearing, dominating, homophobic asshole. And for the last thirteen years he drilled into my head that a man should never show emotions or even have them. It makes them weak; a 'faggot'. I know I can't blame everything on him, but I have no idea how to tell you what I feel. What I can say is that I am truly sorry for punching and hurting you. «

Dak sighed.

»For some reason I believe you. How about I help you? «

»How? «

»I ask you questions and you answer with yes or no, okay? «

»Yes. «

»Earlier you refrained Beau from hitting me and said your neighbours would tell your mom. Was that a lie? «

»Yeah. Mom is really dead. But they don't know that. «, I said quietly.

Dak rubbed my shoulder.

»Did you mean to hit me? «

»NO! «

»Do you hate me? «

»No! «

»Are you gay? «

I looked at my lap.

»Jett, look at me. «

I did.

»Are you gay? «, he repeated.

»Yes. «; I whispered.

Dak smiled at me.

»Do you want to be my boyfriend? «

I nodded.

»Yes. «

»Can you tell me why? «

»B-Because I care about you. «

His smile was almost blinding and then he even kissed me.

»You know, I think I can forgive you. «

On the next day we visited Logan. I felt weird being with him. I mean I was frightened. Especially when he threatened me. Logan looked adorable and harmless, especially with his dimples. But when he is angry, Logan is fucking frightening. I even had to excuse myself and locked myself into the bathroom. I was shaking and breathing harshly. But after I splashed some water into my face, I felt better. Fortunately, the visit went well.

Soon Kendall told me this plan to get Carlos's helmet and destroy it.

»Kendall, you can't do that! More importantly, why do you want to do it? «

»To show them that they cannot mess with us and screw us over. «

»I don't like this. I won't be a part of this. «

Kendall grinned at me.

»You will. Or I will kick you out of the hockey team. «

My blood froze. The only thing that my father didn't hate about me was my position in the hockey team. I sighed. I looked down feeling sad.

»I don't like this. «

~Time Skip~

I felt awful. Carlos looked so shattered. I even thought about stopping this whole thing, but Beau held me back. And then Logan was threatening us and even though he did it in a very subtle way, I knew he threatened me in particular.

Afterwards I tried to get a hold of Dak. But he didn't answer his phone. That is until he called me.

»Where are you?«, I asked immediately.

»At Logan's «

»Look, I am sorr-«

»Don't say something like that. If you would be sorry, you wouldn't have done that. «, Dak replied.

»I know I should tell everybody about us, but I am afraid about what will happen.«

»You should know exactly what will happen! Because you are one of the reasons the closeted gays in our school are afraid to come out! «

»Dak…«

»I don't want to hear it. We are done. «

He hung up. And as I let my phone fall, it shattered on the stone floor. I couldn't believe what he told me. I didn't want to believe it. But deep down I knew that I deserved it for being a horrible person.

I hope you like it please review.
