Will woke up the next morning relieved. The night would have been more
pleasant if Paul hadn't snored all night. But at least the strip club was
over. Will got ready to pick Jack up from the train station. He knew
everyone would be out today running errands and then he could bring Jack
back to the house and explain that he lied. He drove to the station and
found Jack. He had brought his entire wardrobe.
"Jack, how long did you plan on staying?" Will asked
"Will you will eventually learn that we have to be prepared to dress for any occasion." Jack explained "Oh I have so much to teach you."
"So" Jack said
"So what" Will asked
"Your details were quite lacking when we talked last night." Jack said
"Oh well what's there to say I told them I was gay." Will said as they drove up to the house.
Will started to unpack Jack's luggage.
"Can I go to the bathroom before we do that?" Jack asked as he grabbed one small duffel bag
"Sure" Will said
They went into the house.
"It's the second door on the right." Will said
Jack disappeared behind a corner. Will sat down and tried to think of a way to tell Jack he had told a lie. Will was beginning to wonder if Jack was ok or had gotten lost it had been about twenty minutes. Will went into the kitchen to get a snack and found Jack on the phone.
"Yes I need a taxi at 2561 Hazel Drive." Jack said
"Jack what are you doing?" Will asked "What do you need a cab for?"
"Will tell me again how you told your parents?" Jack asked as he hung up the phone.
"I told you in the car I just said it." Will said
"No you didn't you liar." Jack said
"Yes I did!" Will yelled
"Will this house has WASP written all over it. Someone was gonna shed some tears. And you make it sound simple and I know it isn't but not to fear. I have hidden something here to let just about everyone know there's a homo in the house" Jack said
"Jack I was going to tell you I just wanted you here when I did it." Will said "Jack I need you. You've been with me every step of the way so far please. What if they all say they hate me and kick me out the house?" Will looked at Jack on the verge of tears.
"Will I know its scary but this is a time where I can't hold your hand. You need to be a woman and handle this." Jack said "Like the Nike commercial says just do it. Quit acting like a sissy"
The cab pulled up in the driveway.
Jack gave Will a quick hug, "Call me when it's over I'll be at the Holiday Inn, so if they do kick you out you've got a room there. But I will not let you use me to make this easier on yourself. You need to be proud of who you are. I know I seem harsh but you'll thank me later. By the way make sure you do it tonight. I wouldn't want your credit card to get maxed out, we have shopping to do." Jack said as he walked out the door with his duffel bag.
"Wait what did you hide?" Will yelled after Jack
"Now if I told you it wouldn't be hidden now would it." Jack yelled back "I'll talk to you tonight trust me it will be ok"
Will sat on the sofa with his hands in his head. He felt so lost.
"Jack, how long did you plan on staying?" Will asked
