Marco is sitting outside waiting for his mom to bring his stuff over. Dylan walks outside and sits next to him on the step.
"There you are." Dylan
"What?" Marco
"I was looking for you." Dylan
"Oh sorry. I'm just waiting for ma. She said she would bring the rest of my stuff over." Marco
"Are you sure you're ok?" Dylan
"No, but what can I do." Marco says trying not to cry.
Dylan puts his arm around Marco, and pulls him close to him so Marco's head is on Dylan's shoulder.
I'm sorry. I feel like I'm ruining the rest of your summer." Marco
"You're not, honestly. I'd be really worried if you were ok with what happened last night." Dylan
"I don't know what to do." Marco
"Nothing Marco, you can't do anything to change what happened." Dylan
"I know." Marco
"Then stop blaming yourself. That's what you told me a couple of days ago." Dylan
"Yeah" Marco says smiling.
"There keep doing that." Dylan says kissing Marco
A few minutes later Mrs. Del Rossi shows up. She has most of Marco's stuff with her. She gets out of the car and gives Marco a hug.
"I'm sorry Marco." Mrs. Del Rossi.
"It's not your fault ma." Marco
"I told you to come out to him." Mrs. Del Rossi
"Bus I didn't have too." Marco
"I've already told you it's not your fault Marco, and it's not your fault either Mrs. Del Rossi." Dylan
"You're a good boy Dylan." Mrs. Del Rossi says smiling at Dylan.
"Thank you Mrs. Del Rossi." Dylan
"Let's get this stuff inside." Marco
They get everything inside and up to Marco's room.
"Thanks Ma" Marco says hugging Mrs. Del Rossi.
"Your welcome." Mrs. Del Rossi says kissing Marco on the cheek.
"Oh I almost forgot." Mrs. Del Rossi says getting into her purse.
"here Marco give some of it to Mrs. MichealChuck (sp?) for the extra food." Mrs. Del Rossi says handing Marco some money.
"I will ma." Marco
"I've got to get going." Mrs. Del Rossi
"Bye" Marco and Dylan say together.
"Bye. See you soon." Mrs. Del Rossi says getting in the car and waving as she pulls away.
Marco and Dylan go back inside and start rearranging the guest room so that all of Marco's stuff will fit in it. They are done after almost an hour. Marco lies on the bed.
"Are you ok?" Dylan asks laying down next to Marco.
"Yeah I'm just shocked that it really happened I guess." Marco
Dylan kisses Marco who smiles.
"Everything will work out." Dylan says lacing his and Marco's fingers.
"I know, and I'm glad that you are the one that keeps reminding me of that." Marco
They fall asleep. An hour later…
"Marco, Dylan" Mrs. Michael Chuck yells up the stairs.
Marco wakes up, and shakes Dylan awake.
"Your mom just called for us." Marco
"Ok" Dylan says getting up.
They go down stairs.
"Mom" Dylan says when they get down stairs.
"In the living room." Mrs. Michael Chuck
They walk into the living room.
"We are going to go out tonight." Mr. Michael Chuck
"Ok" Dylan
"We just thought you would like to know that we were going out and might not be home." Mrs. Michael Chuck
"So you woke us up for nothing really." Marco says jokingly.
"Hey watch it." Mr. Michael Chuck
"I'm just kidding." Marco
Marco and Dylan laugh before going back upstairs.
"Do you want to go out tonight or what?" Dylan asks Marco as they sit down on Marco's bed.
"I'm not sure. Couldn't we just stay here and order pizza or something." Marco
"We can if you want." Dylan
"I like that idea." Marco
Marco and Dylan are sitting in the living room after Mr. and Mrs. Michael Chuck leave. They are waiting on their pizza, and watching TV.
"I'm glad that we've been able to work this out." Dylan
"Yeah, me too." Marco
"I don't know what I was thinking this year." Dylan
"I do, you were thinking that you should be able to have a good time because you are on your own." Marco
"Yeah but I should have talked to you first before I started dating other people" Dylan
"Yeah, but at least we worked it out now." Marco
"Marco, I'm sorry for everything I've put you through. I'm going to make it up to you this year." Dylan
"Thanks" Marco says kissing Dylan
It's a week before DCS starts back up…Dylan starts in two weeks. Marco's dad still hasn't come around so he is still living with Dylan.
"This is going to be weird." Marco says looking around Dylan's room as they start boxing stuff up to move back into the dorms.
"What is going to be weird?" Dylan asks sort of confused like.
"Being here without you." Marco
"Yeah but you'll get use to it. Besides it'll only be until ½ year at the most." Dylan
"Yeah I guess you're right." Marco
"Of course I'm right. I'm always right." Dylan says smiling at Marco
"Oh yeah you are the king of being right." Marco says throwing a pillow at Dylan
"You don't think so?" Dylan
"Nope, not at all." Marco
"That's it Marco Del Rossi." Dylan says jumping onto the bed where Marco was sitting and pinning him down began tickling him.
"STOP!" Marco yelled laughing really hard.
Dylan laughs at Marco then stops tickling him and instead lies down next to him. He laces their hands together and kisses Marco lightly.
"I'm going to miss this." Dylan
"Me too." Marco says kissing Dylan
"I know it'll only be until ½ year but that seems so long away." Dylan
"Tell me about it." Marco
"I love you." Dylan
"I love you too." Marco says looking into Dylan's eyes.
"I promise I nothing is going to come between us this year." Dylan says looking back into Marco's eyes.
"I know, so you don't have to keep telling me that." Marco
"I'm sorry I'm just afraid that you think I will cheat on you again." Dylan
"Well I don't think that, and I'm not going to cheat on you. So nothing could possible come between us." Marco
They lay there for a little while staring at each other.
"I could do this for ever." Dylan
"Me too, but you need to get packed and we need to go shopping." Marco
"True" Dylan says sitting up and looking around his room, where there are boxes all over it and half of his stuff that goes to university is already in boxes.
"So what to do first?" Marco says sitting up and looking around.
"Shop, if I stay here and look at this it is going to remind me that in two weeks I'm not going to be able to see you all the time." Dylan says standing up and pulling Marco up too.
They go to the mall and get a bunch of new clothes; Marco's mom has been coming to see him at least once every two weeks and bringing him money to help with food and anything else Marco needs. They go out to eat at the-dot afterwards then go back to the house. To pack some more of Dylan stuff up.
It's the first day of Marco's senior year. He wakes up next to Dylan, who is still asleep. Marco gets up and gets ready to leave. Before he leaves he kisses Dylan. Dylan wakes up.
"Have a good day." Dylan
"I'll try but It'll be hard. What are you going to do today?" Marco
"I'll probably just pack some more junk." Dylan
"I'll see you later." Marco
"I love you." Dylan says kissing Marco again
"I love you too." Marco says before leaving the room
Marco and Paige go to school together. It's only a half-day of school. When Marco walks outside to leave Dylan is parked out front. Marco walks over to him and Dylan kisses him.
"How has your day been?" Dylan
"Ok, so far. How about yours?" Marco asks as they get into the car.
"It has sucked. I've been missing you." Dylan
"Really?" Marco
"No, I'm just saying that to make you feel better." Dylan says smiling at Marco.
"You are so mean sometimes." Marco says as they both begin laughing.
"Yeah well you aren't always the nicest person in the world either." Dylan says continuing to laugh.
"Well maybe I'll just have to get really mean." Marco says laughing harder.
"Do you want to go out for lunch?" Dylan asks when they finally stop laughing.
"Sure." Marco
They end up going to that nice restraint.The one that Marco's parents dragged them to on their first date.
"Oh my god." Marco
"What?" Dylan
"My parents just walked in." Marco
"Oh, Do you want to leave?" Dylan
"No" Marco
"We can if you'd like too." Dylan
"No, I'll be fine." Marco
"Are you sure?" Dylan
"Yeah, I'll just pretend not to notice them. He can't rule my life. He kicked me out and basically told me that he never wants to see me again." Marco
"Ok" Dylan
Marco and Dylan order their food and eat without Mr. Del Rossi looking over there once. Mrs. Del Rossi on the other hand was watching Marco more than she was looking at Mr. Del Rossi. Marco waved to his mom but that was all. They walked out of the restraint right past them holding hands. They heard Mr. Del Rossi make a comment about "fruity boys" as they went by, but ignored it. Marco hated doing that to his mom but what other choice did he have.
Outside in the car…
"Marco, are you sure you are ok?" Dylan
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Marco says trying to hold back tears.
"No you aren't fine. I mean you are but you aren't." Dylan
"I will be though. I just have to forget about him. That's all I have to do. The only thing that really hurts is what it is doing to Ma." Marco
"I know and that's what I'm worried about." Dylan
"It'll be ok. We will get through it..." Marco says beginning to cry
Dylan wraps his arms around Marco and kisses him.
"It's really ok to cry." Dylan whispers to Marco
"I know." Marco says wiping tears off of his face.
"I'm sorry for pressuring you into telling him. I should have known that it would be different with your dad." Dylan
"I've already told you I didn't come out to him because of you or for you it was for Ma. It was what she wanted me to do." Marco
They go back home and Marco realizes that Dylan didn't get much packed.
"What did you do today?" Marco
"Nothing." Dylan
"Obviously." Marco
"Well I just figured I should sit around and do nothing for a change rather than pack a bunch of junk up." Dylan
"So what do you want to do now?" Marco
"Hmm I don't know." Dylan says looking around before going over to the bed and lying down.
Marco goes over to the bed and laid down next him. Dylan wrapped his arms around Marco and they fell asleep. Paige comes up about an hour later.
"Hey guys." Paige
"Hi" Marco says waking up and looking at Paige
"Where did you disappear to after school?" Paige
"Dylan picked me up and we went out to lunch." Marco
"Oh I see and you left me there to walk home." Paige
"Well obviously you didn't come home so…" Marco
"Yeah I went to Matt's." Paige
"Should have known." Marco says laughing
Crawling out of the bed, and leaving Dylan to sleep they walked into Marco's room, and sat on the bed.
"How is Matt?" Marco asked looking at Paige.
"Pretty good. I guess." Paige
"Is everything ok?" Marco
"Yeah…everything is great." Paige says looking away from Marco
"Are you sure?" Marco
"Yeah, everything has to be fine. I'm going to go lay down for awhile. Wake me up for dinner." Paige
"Ok." Marco says as Paige walks out of the room.
