DEATH! And just like that queer as folk commercial that I saw last week, when chapter 26 comes, Forget everything you know, It's a whole new game….
Hehe, drama! Thank you all for the reviews, that make my day so much more…better!
Oh AND BTW I dunno if you guys care or not, but I'm up to chapter 5 in the sequel!
Rory burned the fire brighter as he tossed another branch into it. Jake was sitting on top of Michael's lap, laughing like hell. "Okay, okay. So there's this duck right? And the duck is all 'Quack' and the hot guy goes, 'What the fuck is that supposed to mean?' and then the duck goes 'Quack ' again and then he's all 'So you want my number?' and then the duck goes 'Quack' and like that he like…makes out with the duck!" He burst out in laughter again, gasping while Michael shook his head, his best friend's gay jokes were becoming dull but he loved them all the same.
Rory finally sat down besides the two of them" Fuck up, lil' bro. I got a real story to tell, one hellova plan"
"But normally I come up with the plan!" Jake said, pretending to cry.
"Not this time, you couldn't come up with something so…so…"
"Brilliant?" Michael finished for Rory.
"Yep, brilliant. That's a big fucking word there Michael, good job!" Rory said, winking at the boy.
Michael flushed.
"So are you gonna hit on my boyfriend or tell us this wonderful plan?" Jake asked before he could stop himself.
"Boy friend?" Michael and Rory repeated at the same time.
"Why, little brother, what the fuck do we have here? History in the making? Your first proclaimed boyfriend, with your best friend, no less. I couldn't have done it better myself" Rory smirked as Michael rolled his eyes," He's not my boyfriend"
"I'm not?" Jake's face fell.
"We have no titles. They're not important. What me and Jakey have will never be describable, of course, too much energy would be put into it. What is he actually? Us? All three of us? A fucking…three….metal…shaped thing. We have no words, no explanations. We are what we are" Michael finally concluded.
"Just shut the fuck up and kiss him before my eyes roll out my head" Rory said, smiling a little bit as Michael moved up to Jake's face, right to the tip of his lips and stopped.
"I never kissed a boy before…"
Marco sat down his cup at the table, picking up a spoon and poked the jelly substance on his plate. It looked like Flam and Jell-O mixed together." This is boring as hell" A person behind him said dryly.
Marco turned around to see a boy with Blue and red streaks in his hair sit next to him, a clear plastic cup poised at his lips and an impish smile under that. Why did all the hot guys gravitate towards Marco? He'd never know, but he sure as hell wasn't complaining.
"Why'd you say that? I mean, the plastic chicken and burnt rice seems charming to me" Marco said in a sweet voice.
"What seems nice to me is me and you going into an ally and me giving you the best fu-" The boy began when another one came over and hit him on the head with a paper plate," Excuse my friend here, he gets horney easily. Humps trees when no one is looking"
Marco laughed," Yeah, well, I get that a lot"
"I bet you do. Or at least that was something I would murmur under my breath while raising an eye brow suggestively at you but I'm happily dating so…yeah, I guess that's down the drain" He sat down next to Marco. It would seem that his friend was now sweet talking another kid on the other side of the room.
"Well, you're bluntly honest " Marco murmured before straightening up," Okay then…"
"Jesse" The guy finished, and he was fairly good looking.
Marco was sort of confused here, he had like…Andy back at home for the time being and Ryan…well…
He blew out a breath.
Men are complicated.
"Marco" He said, holding out his hand and shaking it.
"Marco Del Rossi?" Jessie asked, raising his eye brows.
Why did everyone keep asking him that. And last time a person did that they ended up living at his house with his siblings.
"Yeah…why?"
"My boyfriend talks about you all the time…Leslie, you know him right?"
"Jesse!" Marco squealed happily," Yeah, how are you two?"
"Happy as ever" Jesse flushed a little, " God, why am I the sappy one. Oh and Leslie said thanks for pointing him on the road to fabulousness!" He smiled a little again," You turned my man into a flamer and now all the gays in Hollywood won't leave him alone. Well…" He trailed off.
"Yeah, sorry about that" Marco laughed himself, " So…wow…isn't this odd, what are the odds of us meeting here?"
"Pretty wild huh?" Jessie said, leaning back in the chair." I'm just doing a few things here for my friend, Tom. You know him right…"
"Tyler's boss?" Marco questioned," You work for my company?"
"He started the dream" Jessie replied smoothly," Tyler's one big genius. You're lucky, I got stuck with his brother…but Tom works me pretty hard too… articles are popping out left and right these days. I'm doing this article on the new hockey team that is winning left and right, you know, the Heated Hockey Hailers?"
"Dylan's team!" Marco jumped up quickly.
"Yeah, you know Dylan Michaelchuck? Quite a men's man if you get what I mean, I'd do him…but I love me some Leslie so that's out the picture. He's dating some boy by the name of Randy now…quite the charmer too. Damn sexy"
"My ex…boyfriend" Marco murmured uneasily," But I can tell he's getting along fine without me. Send him a message for me, please?"
"Sure. I have to call him tonight anyway, he's supposed to be doing some special event at the mall-"
"Yeah, whatever. Anyway, tell him that Marco said that Jake's an emotional wreck…" Marco stopped, biting his lip." And- and tell him…-" He stopped again.
"That you miss him?" Jessie finished, it was obvious anyway.
Marco paused and looked to the floor." Never mind."
"Wither within a bed of roses
And strike with such heavenly poses
I know this may sound weird
But I love you
And even though this is sadly true
We just can't be
There's someone else?
I know there is
Don't say no more…
Speechlessness is your best quality"
Ryan put the paper down, flipping his glasses off from his face he glanced over at Ryan, who was in the corner drawing something. He threw the paper at him," Here, lover boy" He said, getting up," Make a masterpiece out oft his one so I can get another award, I'm going to go check up on the kids"
As he stalked out the room Ryan threw the pencil at the door, much like Sarah had done to him before and looked at the poem with discontent.
"There is so much drama going on" Michael said tiredly.
He tapped the phone," Addy, are you there?"
"Always there, Mike. Just a little awe struck. I feel bad for you…"
"Most people do…"
"I have this new client, so I um...might be a little later than usual."
"What? What?" Michael said, exasperated," Why?"
"I um…got into a little bit of a problem…and I…-" Adrian stopped," A little hurt."
"What happened?"
"Um…severe bleeding…it's nothing serious" Adrian reassured him," I should be out in a few days"
He lied.
"Are you okay?"
Adrian snorted,
"I mean…like, do you feel bad?"
Adrian snorted again. " It's a little minor accident. Don't worry about me, okay?"
Michael remained silent.
"Come on, Mikey" Adrian prodded.
"Yeah…"
"Don't lie"
"Yes"
"Don't lie"
"I-"
"DON'T LIE!" Adrian snapped.
"Okay, okay…I- I-" Michael stopped shortly and blew out a breath," You've got nerve, telling me not to lie. You know what Jake showed me a few days ago?" He snapped, moving his sore leg slightly on the couch," It's my papers…long time ago…showed what Rory died from…"
"HIV?" Adrian whispered.
"No…" Michael sighed," He was celibate"
"Then what?"
"The fucking flu…Addy, he died from the flu"
"You're lying"
"Nope, he got sick after Kyle had beaten him with a pole which pricked his skin and leaking some dangerous shit into his blood and he happened to have a cold, which escalated into the flu…and it was all down hill from there .Doctors say there was a pill involved too…something Kyle probably used to drug him up. And right when we were about to…" Michael paused.
"Yeah…oh…well…I'm sorry that it didn't work out" Adrian said, insincerely.
"When will I have somebody who loves me for…me…?" Michael asked limply, tears springing forward finally.
From the bottom of the steps Jake listened to the whole conversation, holding into the banister to keep himself from running over and hugging the depressed boy. They needed to be away from each other, Jake had decided that while he was crying in the bathroom a few days ago. Apparently Robert was right, he did fuck Michael up, and he was in shambles, little tattered shards of broken glass.
Adrian was about to say "I love you for who you are" But the doctor came into the room with the results. "I have to go…" Adrian said quietly.
"But I wasn't don-"
"Love yo-" Adrian began when the phone cut off.
"You too…" Michael said sullenly. " You know I always hate when people eavesdrop in your personal space, emotional damage and tears aren't enough for you, are they Jake?"
Busted.
Jake looked at the back of Michael's red hair and bit his lip before turning and going back up the stairs, ignoring his comment.
Let the silence begin.
"Adrian, I know that this may be hard for you but you maybe suffering from something far worse than a black eye" The doctor said solemnly, looking the pale boy up and down. Adrian was on the bed, in the pokadot white attire with his eyes closed, or rather, one was swollen shut. It was a horrible altercation in which the person became violent and threw a pipe at his eye. He blacked out from there.
"You may be going blind…" The doctor said, cautiously.
"No…I- I have to pick up someone though, I mean, I have no money and no place to-" Adrian sat up.
"Listen, Mr…"
"Asher, Adrian Asher." Adrian said, trying to get out of the bed but the doctor stopped him. " I have to get my friend"
"And loose vision half way there?" The doctor asked," Mr. Asher, there is one procedure that I can do, but it's risky. And your friend…Michael, well…you may want to bring him in too."
"Why?" Adrian asked," What does he have to do with me?"
"I am his doctor, correct?" The doctor asked.
"Well, yeah…"
"And last time you two were here…"
"Was for our blood tests…"
"And I just got the information back, and Michael's condition is not good…his T-Cells are extremely low…"
"They were high time…" Adrian trailed off, panic filling him as he tried to get up again but the doctor stopped him, " Lay down, Asher, he's not dying any time soon. Has he taken his medication?"
Adrian paused," No-"
"Well, then there's your answer. I just want to try and help him, both of you, but you're both so stubborn it's a wonder…" The doctor trailed off.
"How fast can you do the operation?"
"Two weeks from now, tops" The doctor said as he adjusted the IV patch in his arm. " Sleep, please. You're going to need it"
Adrian tried to get up again, but he became dizzy and fell back down. "Michae-l" He moaned out as his other non-swollen eye slipped closed.
Marco danced away to different remixes and songs with Jessie, the flirty boy and a whole bunch of others as the party began to wind down. But while he maybe having the time of his life now…things were about to end tragically.
