"10 out of 10, The greatest Fanfiction story ever" – Guest

Humphreys POV

Well I woke up in a mood. I couldn't really get any sleep last night. I kept having some weird dream; like I was seeing through Beth's eyes. It was horrible. I even thought I actually felt Garth hit me, it just turned out I rolled into a bad position and hit my elbow, but still it was really freaky. I tried to sleep in as long as I could. I made it to 12 o'clock until Angel came knocking on the door and shouting. "Humphrey get the hell up before I get a bucket of cold water"

That got me up. Rubbing my eyes trying to get the sleep out; I could've went back to sleep. But I had a party to prepare, even though I wasn't planning to do much partying, just to be a lookout for Beth. Garth better not make a move, after what he did to me last time, it would be a great excuse just to kick the fucking hell out of that donkey faced scumbag. Whoa, don't think like that. Think happy, think happy, think happy. 'Hey I'm going to Kate's afterwards, which should be fun'. That thought soon got me smiling again

I set aside my nicest pair of jeans, and my white jacket that had the occasional blue and black stripe going through it. I thought it looked cool, and it would be my first time really wearing it out, hope I don't spill anything over it. It would be a pain in the ass to clean

For the meantime I might as well wear my sweatpants and just a plain t-shirt, I mean it's not like it matters at this stage of the day. I went downstairs once I got all washed up, not majorly washed up, I'll save that before I head over to Kate's. When I reached the bottom if the stairs, Angel was watching YouTube on her phone with her head phones plugged in. from what I could see, she was watching AC/DC, it was the Rock the Blues Away music video. She must've liked it when she heard it in the car that day. I have to admit, it's a catchy tune

I have no idea where Matthew is. He's not in the kitchen, and I didn't hear him upstairs; normally he has his music blaring. Sometimes it's Taylor Swift, sometimes its Calvin Harris. I'll tell you, he has a varied taste in music. I was hoping to ask him if he can give me a lift to Kate's later on. Speaking of which, what time do I head over to hers at?

I got my phone out and found our conversation in 'Messages'. I typed the text; "Hey Kate, what time do you want me over at yours to head to Sally's? x". Finishing with the x, I touched send. Just then I felt a sting on both of my sides which made the phone drop out of my hands. I let out a little yelp; 90% of it was because my phone was falling. I turned around and I saw Angel, with a grin on her face. It must've been her that caused the stinging.

All I heard was a clap on the ground. In a rush to make sure no damage was done, I bent down to pick it up as soon as possible. I lifted it up. No cracks on the screen, or any damage done to the body. Phew. It's a good thing Sony phones are really well built. "Angel! What the hell?!" I shouted, rubbing my phone. It looked like I was caring for it or something. "Calm down Humphrey jeez" she said holding her hands up, like she was surrendering. "Don't do that again!" I said. "Sorry Humphrey I won't. It was just a little joke I swear" Angel said starting to sound upset; she hates getting yelled at. I remember one time I was called out of class to sit with her in the principal's office because she cried when the teacher yelled at her because she didn't have her homework done

I tapped her shoulder. "It's alright. Just don't do that, I have a thing about people coming up from behind" I said. A smile came across Angel's face. "Humphrey you have no idea how wrong that sounded" she said. "Hehe. You need to clean that mind of yours" I said rubbing her hair. With a smile she turned around and went away again. I felt a buzz in my hand, and my phones notification light blinked. I got a message

It read, "Hey Humphrey, if you come around to my house around six that'd be fine. Also I asked mum, and you can stay the night :D :D :D x". I responded with; "Cool, want me to bring my PJ's? x". it didn't take long for Kate to respond. "I don't think so. I don't think we'll be sleeping much, if ya know what I mean ;) x". I replied with, "Well no complaints from me. see you at 6 x". I put my phone in my pocket and walked out into the living room, and made myself comfortable on the sofa, and watched an episode of friends

About an hour or so later, it hit my mind that I should probably inform Beth what time I should be arriving at, so that she's not there unguarded. I got my phone out and looked for her number. For a while I was uncertain if I had it or not, but soon I found it. I sent her a text that said, "Hey Beth, Humphrey here. Just letting you know that, if you're still going, I'll be at the party at around 7". I wasn't expecting her to reply, but a buzz in my pocket soon changed that idea

The text that Beth sent me read out; "Hey Humphrey, thanks for letting me know. I'm so grateful for you doing this for me, I owe you BIG time. Beth x". The x at the end got me a little concerned, I hope she's doesn't mean what I think she means by that. Nah, I'm just overthinking things. I just locked my phone and didn't think twice about it, I decided I'd start to get ready around 5 o'clock

(Time Skip to 5:30pm)

I looked at my phone to see the time and I was surprised to see the time for two reasons. One, it did not feel like half five, and two, I only have half an hour to get ready. I turned off the TV and went up the stairs as quickly as possible. I slipped off my sweat pants and put on my blue jeans, and fastened them tightly around my waist with a Calvin Klein belt. I took off my plain t-shirt, sprayed on anti-persperent, then put on a buttoned blue shirt, and zipped on my cool jacket.

Just before I left I walked to Angel's room, and knocked the door. "Come in" she shouted. "Hey Angel, I'm away to Sally's party you going to be alright?" I asked. "Yeah I'll be fine. I asked Lily to come over, and we're having a sleepover" she stated. "Well that's probably just as well, because I won't be coming home tonight, I'm staying at Kate's" I told her. "I had a feeling you were, that why I asked Lily to come over" she said. "Smart girl" I commented.

After we said our goodbyes, and our hugs goodbye, I left the house and made my way over to Kate's. I made my way over to Kate's house. Just before I knocked on the front door, I looked at my phone to check the time. My phone displayed 6:02pm, not bad timing. I knocked on the front door, and Eve answered the door. "Oh hello Humphrey. It's good to see you again, nice jacket. I assume you and Kate are going to that party at Sally's?"

"Yeah" I answered. "well come on in, Kate should be ready in a few minutes" Eve said inviting me in. saying thank you, I walked in past Eve and made my way to the living room. I made myself comfortable on the sofa, and Eve came in and sat on the armchair. "You going to stay here tonight Humphrey?" Eve asked trying to start conversation. "Yeah Kate asked you didn't she?" I said. "Yeah she asked me. I don't mind you staying Humphrey" she said. "Thanks Eve" I said smiling. "But, only if you and Kate can restrain from those actions" Eve said with a wink. At that moment, my smile was quickly replaced by a blush, which Eve thought was funny

"No need to be embarrassed Humphrey. I was only joking" she said. I was confused at that point, I wasn't sure if she just gave me permission to have sex with her daughter, or was she just fooling around with me. My thoughts were interrupted when the living room door. Kate wore a blue dress, which honestly made her look as sexy as any super model, no exaggeration. "Wow Kate. You look amazing" I said as I stood up. "Thanks babe, so do you. I love that jacket" Kate said feeling my left arm.

"So what time do you think you two will be back at?" Eve asked us. I decided I should let Kate answer. "I don't know; late anyway" Kate said. "Well if you're back when we're in bed, try and be quiet" she said with a wink as she got up and walked out of the living room. Kate blushed the ever so slight. The girls of this family seem to be really, dirty minded, to put it mildly . "So, are you ready to go?" she asked me. "Whenever you are" I said.

But just as we were about to walk out, Kate grabbed my arm, "Tonight's going to be fun" she said just before she kissed me. "Let's go" I said happily. "Bye mum, see ya!" Kate shouted into the house. "Bye Eve!" I shouted as well. "Bye you two. Don't have too much fun now!" Eve shouted back to us. With a smile on our face, we made our way for Sally's house; with what Kate called 'Operation Bodyguard' now in full swing

In no time at all we we're soon near Sally's house. We could see it in front of us, all the lights and the people who were already completely wasted. It was only coming up to 7 for crying out loud, how the hell can you be that wasted already? "I don't think Beth's here yet, so we'll stay close to the front door so she'll see us" I said to Kate. "Sure" she said nodding her head. "Let's get in there" I said. It's a good thing Sally's house is big, because the amount of people there already was astonishing, supposed since there's no school in the morning.

Kate and I both grabbed a drink of beer and waited in the hall until we saw Beth. Soon enough, we saw Allie, Harry and Summer arrive. They started talking to us and wanted to head to one of the living rooms to sit down and talk. I said that they should go on, telling them that I wanted to use the toilet, but as soon as they left, I went back into the hall to wait for Beth. Another 10 minutes passed, and then Beth finally showed up. She ran to me and hugged me. "Thank god you're here. Where's Kate and the guys?" Beth said as she let go. "In one of the living rooms" I said. "Oh okay, let's find them" she said.

As we walked through the house to try and find them, Beth held on to my arm tightly, she really must've been scared of Garth. He better not lay his paws on her or they will be chopped off. We found Kate, Allie, Harry, and Summer sitting in the lounge room at the back of the house next to the kitchen. We sat down in the group, me of course next to Kate, and Beth found a chair and pulled it up so that she was facing towards us.

About an hour into the party, all of us were just sitting in our group, telling stories and telling jokes. They're the same stories that we have all told each other before, but it felt like it was the first time like we ever heard them, it was still fun. However I did notice something. Garth occasionally walked past, and stared me in the eyes, and started at the back of Beth's head with an angry expression. Well that confirms it, Beth was definitely telling the truth.

Luckily, no one else in my gang noticed Garth. I had a feeling though that at some point he would try and get me.

Soon enough Beth stood up. "Right I need to go to the toilet. Anyone wanna come with me?" Beth asked. I knew she was aiming the question, but she tried not to look at me. "Yeah I'll go" Summer said getting up. "Cool. Humphrey can you come with me? I feel like I can use a bodyguard" she passing it off as a joke, but in reality she was being deadly serious. "Okay" I said trying to sound frustrated. "People always need me don't they" I tried to joke.

Summer and Beth left and went down the hall to the bathroom. I followed not to close behind them, to not make it look suspicious. But I soon lost sight of them when someone stopped me. for a moment I thought it was Garth, and I clenched my fist together getting ready to hit him. But I soon found out it wasn't Garth, and boy oh boy, I was not expecting to see her here. It was Joanne, the exact same girl who tried to hit on me in the weeks before I was with Kate

"Humphrey, how… how… how you been?" she asked. She was clearly drunk off her ass because she was stumbling around. She lost her balance and fell forward towards me. I caught her just before she fell and brought her to a standing position. "Whoa Humphrey, if you want to handle me like that, you'll have to take me home" she said with a slabber coming from her mouth. She has to sit down before she falls and hurts herself

I put my arm around her and her and took her to a living area, not the same area that Kate and my crew were in. As I was walking her she just kept talking. "Ohh, pulling the move on me huh" she said mentioning the fact that I had my arm around her. We found a sitting area with no one on the sofa, and I set her on it. "Okay now Joanne, you rest your head here" I said in a soothing and slow voice whist putting a cushion down against the arm of the sofa. "Okay then" she said. She then put her head down and the cushion.

I left as quickly as possible and tried to find Beth and Summer. I saw Beth standing outside a door, and she was looking in my direction, and it looked like she was glad to see me. That smile didn't last long though, because Garth came up to her and grabbed her by the collar. I didn't even think, I ran and pulled him away from her, which in the process caused him to fall to the ground. Beth hid behind me and held on to my hips, she was using me as a riot shield. Hey, I guess that's what bodyguards are for anyways

Garth soon stumbled to his feet. "What you do… do… doing Humphrey?" he slurred out. He must be another one whose completely wasted, but that still doesn't justify for what he just did to Beth. "Because you grabbed Beth you wasted piece of shit. She told you to stay away from her" I said. "Oh soo… shhhhheeeee told you the story huh" he slurred out, but I didn't want to respond to that. "Did you stell him bitch!" he shouted at her, with spit coming out. I felt Beth quiver behind me.

"Garth Back off" I heard Kate yell from behind me. I felt Beth walk away, probably over to Kate and my crew but that wasn't going to stop me holding my ground against the abusive motherfucker in front of me. "Humphrey come here. Just let it go" I heard Kate from behind me. but I didn't move. Kate called me to come over to her two more times, but I still didn't budge. "Please Humphrey " she pleaded. This time, I turned to see Kate. She was holding on to Beth, with a pleading sense on her eyes

I was walking to them when I heard Garth speak again. unlike the last few times, this time his speech was crystal clear. "That's right Humphrey, walk away. You go home, and cry to your mother. Opps, that's right you can't". When he said that, I could feel my blood boil. I felt a rage build up inside me, that made me clench my fist and turn around. "Would you like to repeat that?" I asked, my voice went all deep, and nasty. Garth smiled at me and said, "Did I touch a nerve there, momma's boy?"

I didn't hesitate, I ran forward ready to hit him square in the jaw. He dodged it, and I didn't hit in the face but I hit his arm, which still caused him to flinch in pain a little bit. "You're dead" Garth snarled. He threw a punch at me. I managed to catch his, rather weak, punch in my fist, and as a distraction he thought he would throw another one with his free hand. I caught that one too

I pushed him away, assuming that he would stumble over. I guessed wrong. He regained his composure and charged towards me with such speed, that I didn't have enough time to react. He rammed against the wall and he held me by the neck. "You shouldn't have tried to act like the tough guy in front of your girlfriend. Look where it's got ya" he growled at me. I closed my eyes and prepared for the worst. But instead of feeling a punch in the face, I felt a swipe from the side. But it wasn't painful, and at that moment I felt Garth's hands release from my neck

I opened my eyes and Garth wasn't in front of me, and I looked to the right to see what had happened. Hutch had come up and side tackled him onto the ground. Kate ran over to me and gripped me tightly. Hutch was standing over Garth. "Leave him alone" he shouted at Garth. "Why do you attack him when you're the one who's an asshole" he commented. Garth struggled up to his feet again, holding onto his left arm, and came face to face with Hutch

"Or what? What you gonna do fag?". "What did you just say?" Hutch asked in an angry tone. "Oh sorry. Did I not make myself clear the last time? Let me tell you again. Listen everyone, this man…" he began to point at Hutch. "…Hutch, the guy all the girls think is soooo hot, is a fag. He's a sausage gobbler, a bum bandit, a bender, he's a freak". Then, at that moment, Hutch came forward and hit Garth in the face so hard, that even I could hear the cracking of the bones. Whether they were Hutch's knuckles or Garth's cheekbones is a different question

Garth fell flat on the floor. But Hutch wasn't done with him yet. He began kicking him mercilessly. Harry and I lunged forward at the same time and pulled Hutch away. Hutch saw it was us dragging him and complied. Garth just lay there, coughing. He got up, looked at me, and then his eyes drifted over to Hutch. You can tell that there was real hatred in his eyes. Garth walked out the door and into the night

Kate held on to me. "Thank god you're okay" she cried into my jacket. Hutch had his head down and walked away. Harry said he went out into the back garden. "Humphrey" Beth said tapping my arm. "Thanks for stepping in when you did. I was scared for my life" she said thankfully. "Don't worry about it Beth" I said. "I owe you BIG time" she said joining Kate in hugging me. but I had to think, where Hutch went

"I never knew Hutch was gay", "Hutch likes guys?", "I did not see that coming" and "Do you think he's single" were the many comments I heard when Hutch walked away. "Kate, I'm going to go see how Hutch is" I said. "Yeah sure, poor guy. Imagine what he's going through right now" Kate sate sympathetically. She let go of her grip and I went out into the back garden to find Hutch.

I slid open the conservatory door and walked out to the patio, trying to find Hutch. At the end of the garden I saw him, he was sitting on a bench staring at his hands. I better go over see if he's alright.

I walked across the garden, and took my place on the bench beside Hutch. "That was mad wasn't it" I said trying to soften the air. It didn't seem to work. "How you doing?" I asked. Hutch fumbled with his hands for a few seconds before he answered. "Not doing too bad, when you consider the fact that everyone in school, now the whole town, will know my secret" he said putting his face into his hands. "so you really are…". "Gay? Yes Humphrey, I am" Hutch answered without me even finishing my question. "It's probably better that everyone knows. Garth's been threatening to tell people for months" he said.

"How did Garth find out?" I asked curiously. "It was around at the start of this year, we were in gym class, and he caught me checking you out" he said turning away from me. Wait, did he just say what I think he said. "Wait? Me?" I asked in astonishment. "Yeah, I'm sorry if it creeps you out. I understand if you hate me" he said, still looking away from me. "Hey Hutch…" I said touching his shoulder. "… it's okay. I don't hate you" I said. "Really?" he asked looking at me. "Yeah, I mean there are worse things you could do" I said.

"Thanks Humphrey" he said coming over to hug me. I swear I should just call this day hug non fucking stop day, the amount of hugs I've gotten; Jesus. "I just need a friend right now" he said. We broke from the embrace, and I tried to up bring the mood again. "Really? Me?" I asked. Hutch just laughed. "Yeah you". "I mean I knew I was good looking but wow". He just laughed again. "Well too bad Hutch you can't have this" I said rubbing my hands over me. He just continued to laugh

"Come on, let's get back in there" I said standing up. He stood up as well. "No thanks Humphrey. I'm just going to go home. This has been a difficult night, so I think I might as well go home and jerk off to some porn" Hutch said. I held my hand in his face. "Little too much information there man" I said laughing a little. "Besides, I need to prepare for all the hate I'm going to get over the next few weeks" he said. "Don't worry you'll be fine". "I'm just going to leave by the back gate, I'll see you later Humphrey" Hutch said walking towards the back gate. "See ya Hutch" I shouted. I then walked back into the house to try and find Kate

A/N: Well, I didn't see that coming. Did you? Why does Garth have to be so much trouble? Poor Hutch, being outed out like that just isn't fair. Let's see what happens next chapter when Humphrey and Kate are alone (all that means is that sex will be in the next chapter). Please favourite, follow, and review. Peace out :)

Also, from now on, my favourite review from the chapter will be posted in the next chapters beginning A/N. And whoever sent me the questions, the answers are on my profile page. Feel free to ask any more
