Today's prompt comes from Alexie B and goes like this: Jeff has been bullied in the past but the Warblers don't know. Until one day when David, Nick, Wes, Thad, Trent and Jeff go to the mall they see his old bullies and they totally out Jeff to his friends (They don't know he is gay) He ends up having a panic attack or something like that. The Warblers protect him and stuff.
Jeff loved his new life. He was free. He didn't have to live in fear all the time. He could walk around just being him and no one hated him. No one knew his secret. No one knew so no one could hurt him. For the first time in his life he actually had really good friends, brothers even. His closest friends were Wes, the leader of the Warblers, leader of the martial arts team, leader of the student council just the leader of Dalton really. Everyone loved Wes and he was friendly to everyone, well almost everyone. At a Tae Kwando competition Wes and this guy with curly hair from Carmel looked like they could kill each other and they kept insulting each other. Their match was very heated and violent. It was awesome though oh and Wes won of course. Jeff knew he could always turn to Wes if he needed him. Even though he broke the guy's arm at their first meeting. But Wes didn't stay mad at him for it. He only told Jeff to be more careful. Jeff really liked him. Wes was so amazing. Like the most amazing person in the world. He didn't judge Jeff for anything, nothing. And he was family away from home. Wes was like his big brother and he loves the older boy for that.
Then there's David. Jeff liked to spend time with David because he so funny and they like to joke together or play games on either of their gaming consoles. David is also a bit of a sports star at Dalton. He's on both the football and basketball team. Jeff also plays basket and they were a really good team. Jeff could always turned to David when he needed to get some cheering up. David was never too busy for his friends.
Thad was the one person that Jeff was sure would understand what bullying felt like. Jeff knew what had happened to Thad. Everyone at Dalton knew and it made everyone angry. Jeff had sworn that if he ever met Thad's bullies he would kill them himself. Thad himself was kind of quiet and liked to read, a lot. Which is why Jeff loved to be in the same room as the other boy when he tried to do homework. Thad's calm presence in the room helped calm Jeff down and when Jeff felt like he actually wanted to read something he could always turn to Thad to get an idea. Thad was also very protective of his friends… even though he was the size of a church mouse. Jeff admired him for it. Thad was a leader type now, even though he was so small and many students turned to him for guidance if Wes wasn't available. Everyone liked him and so did Jeff.
Trent was a real sweetheart. If Jeff ever needed a hug or anyone for that sake Trent would always be happy to give that hug. Jeff and Trent always hugged when they saw each other because it was something they both enjoyed. Trent was always sweet and kind… unless you angered him because then you were in real trouble. Trent had the power to ruin you. He was the lord of gossip at Dalton. Everyone knew that and if he said something it had to be true. Anyway Jeff and Trent were good friends and Trent could always make Jeff smile if he needed it.
And then there was Nick. Nick. God Nick was his best friend since day one. Jeff loved Nick… more than friends. He wanted to be that but Nick didn't want to because Nick wasn't gay or bi even. Jeff loved Nick. He wanted to be with Nick. He wanted their Niff title to mean that they were a couple and not just best friends. He wanted more than that. He loved Nick. He truly did. He loved Nick so much but he could never tell anyone because if they found out he was gay… his life would be over. He would lose all his friends if they knew he was gay. Jeff would lose Nick and that pain he couldn't bear.
Jeff and his closest friends were at the mall in Westerville. It was a warm Sunday afternoon near the end of the school year and everyone was having loads of fun. Wes had a small smile on his face as he watched all his friends enjoy themselves. He got roped into the fun as well of course. At one point the boys wanted to do different things and Wes took charge at once.
"Okay", he said. "I need some new shirts and Trent has been dying to help me so we'll go do that okay Trent?"
"Yes", Trent said happily.
"Thad and Nick wanted to check out that new book store for obvious reasons."
The two brunettes stuck their tongues out at Wes before walking off together.
"Davi you can check out that sport store and meet us back here in say an hour?" Wes asked and David nodded and ran off.
"I'll go to the music store Wes! Can I can I?!" Jeff asked happily and Wes chuckled and nodded. Jeff darted off and Wes was dragged towards a clothing store by Trent.
Jeff sang along happily to one of the tracks playing. He was so happy that nothing could put a damper on it. He looked at his watch and realized he had five minutes left of the hour Wes had given them. So he left the store and headed for the meeting place. But when he rounded a corner he collided with someone.
"Oh sorry", Jeff said. "I…"
He trailed off when he realized who was in the group before him. It was his old bullies! The football team and the cheerleaders from his old high school. Jeff started trembling and they started smirking.
"Well if it isn't Sunshine-Gay", the captain said and smirked. "What are you doing here fag? Trying to infect the rest of the world?"
"B-being gay is something you're b-born with", Jeff stuttered frightened. Everyone around him laughed meanly and someone shoved Jeff. He was surrounded by the group and they all started to push him around between them. Jeff tried to stop his tears but all the laughing around him and the fact that no one did anything hurt so much that he couldn't. Jeff wondered why his friends didn't come to save him. Why? He fell to the floor. But two football players pulled him up roughly.
"HEY!" he heard a furious voice shout and the group turned. Jeff felt a big eight lifted from his shoulders. Wes was here!
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?!" Wes yelled, the others were standing just behind him.
"Go away", a football player said. "This has nothing to do with you."
"When my friend gets attacked it has everything to do with me!" Wes yelled furiously and he and the others stormed forward. Wes stood just in front of Jeff, a guy was standing beside him. Wes glared at this guy.
"Let my friend go or be sorry", Wes warned.
"Aw come on don't tell me you are protecting this fag?" the football captain laughed. Wes' eyes widened.
"What", he asked darkly.
"He's a fag!" a cheerleader said. "He's gay so we have all the right in the world to hurt him! He deserves it for being such a freak."
"Are you telling me Jeff is gay and this is why you do this", Wes asked coldly. Jeff lowered his head. Now everything was lost. Wes would hate him and if Wes did… so would everyone else. Jeff looked up as the football captain turned to him and threw a punch. But he never hit, because he found that someone stopped his fist, by gripping his wrist. He turned his face to the side, only to meet Wes' furious face.
"Not my little brother you fucking bastard", Wes roared and punched him so hard he dropped to the floor. Everyone gasped.
"Get him!" the football captain yelled and pointed at Wes.
"Trent catch", Wes said and threw his bag to Trent. Trent caught it and hurried to the side as two football players rushed Wes. Jeff stared in awe as Wes kicked their asses. So did David and Nick and to his surprise even Thad. Trent stood to the side giving the cheerleaders a piece of his mind. Jeff just stared in awe. His friends were protecting him. Then he noticed the football captain advancing on Wes from behind.
"Wes behind you!" Jeff screamed in terror. But he needn't worry. Wes elbowed the bigger boy in the stomach, then grabbed his arm and threw him over his head… slamming him onto the floor.
"Let's get out of here", someone said and Jeff's bullies ran off. The cheerleaders did too.
"Yeah you better run!" Nick yelled after them. Jeff was still on the ground. Wes walked up to him and sat down beside him.
"Jeffy", he asked and Jeff looked at him. "Are you okay?"
Jeff just broke down crying and Wes held him. The other boys joined into the hug. Wes and Nick being closest to Jeff and hugging him the tightest. Jeff clung to them and sobbed. But he was mostly crying for happiness because, even though the boys knew he was gay they didn't abandon him. They loved him anyway. Wes even called him his little brother. Jeff sobbed again. He truly had the best friends… no brothers a guy could ever ask for.
