A/N: Thanks for all of the reviews…Yeah there are a lot of things that are seeming unrealistic in this lately, just hang in there it'll make sense…Sorry it's taken me so long to get something posted. Writers Block, School, and looking for a job are all to blame. Only like 13 school days left and hopefully my writers block lifts. Thanks again. Don't forget to review!
OoOoO
Marco is sitting in homeroom not listening to a word that Mr. Simpson is saying because his mind is on his ma agreeing to let him move out.
Maybe it's to early. I mean I can put up with papa until I graduate. Besides I honestly don't know about this thing with Tim. I mean I know what is like to be the one left behind in high school when the boyfriend goes off to college. I don't know what kind of temptations there will be in college, and I also don't know that I'd be able to resist them.
"Marco…Earth to Marco," Ellie says waving her hand in front of his face.
"What?" Marco snaps.
"Calm down, I just thought I'd tell you homeroom ended three minutes ago," Ellie says walking away from him.
Shit! I really need to stop doing that. I keep zoning out and forgetting where I am and what I'm doing. I've got to remember to apologize to El later too…
OoOoO
Marco is sitting at lunch lost in thought when Ellie approaches the table.
"I come in peace," Ellie says with a slight smile before sitting down across from Marco.
Marco laughs before replying, "Sorry about being an ass in homeroom. I just have a lot on my mind lately."
"What's wrong?" Ellie asks.
"Where do I start? First of all this past weekend was great. I spent the whole weekend with Tim, and we had fun. I like him a lot, but I don't know that I can continue are relationship once I go to college. Second when I got home Ma and I had a long talk, and she agreed to let me move out now rather than wait until I graduate. The problem with that is that I don't know that I am really ready to live on my own. I guess I just don't know what the point of my life is anymore." Marco says before putting his head down on the table.
"Wow, I can see why you were zoning out in homeroom. The point in life…now there's a question we all wish we could find the answer too," Ellie says trying to get Marco to laugh.
"It's not funny El," Marco says looking up with a worried look on his face.
"Relax Marco everything will work out. It always does," Ellie says just before the bell signaling the end of lunch rings.
Marco rolls his eyes at Ellie retreating back before standing up to walk out of the café to his locker. He is stopped by Tim's hand on his shoulder from behind.
"Hey, what is wrong?" Tim asks as Marco turned to face him.
"What gives you the idea that there is something wrong?" Marco asks trying to hide the lie that is written all over his face.
"Give me a break Marco. I've been around you long enough to know when something is going on. Now what is it?" Tim asks with a worried look on his face.
"Nothing, I mean it's not important. I've got to go to class. I'll see you after school ok?" Marco says kissing Tim quickly before turning to leave.
Tim stands there in bewilderment. Why is he being so distant? Did I do something? Was he just using me for sex, and now that he's had that he is done with me?
Tim walked out of the café in a daze of thoughts. He ended up going to the bathroom, and hiding out in a stall through out the next three classes. After last period he met Marco at his locker. Marco doesn't know how to escape him. He doesn't want him to think that he was just using him for sex, or that he did something. He just needs to be on his own. Needs his own time to think about everything.
"Are you going to tell me what's wrong now?" Tim asked and Marco could tell that it was really bugging Tim.
"I told you nothing is wrong with me," Marco said putting on a fake smile. Why am I hiding it from him if there is nothing wrong? Maybe I did just use him for sex. No that's crazy. I love him…don't I?
Tim leaned against the lockers behind him and slid down to the floor. Placing his head in his hands and pulling his knees up to his chest. Marco took this as a sign that Tim was feeling like it was his fault.
It isn't his fault, is it? I mean I don't know anymore!
Marco sat down next to Tim. Tim slid away from Marco a little bit, and didn't say anything to him.
"Tim, honestly I don't know what is going on anymore. It's not you, it really isn't. I just have so much going on that I don't know what to do at all." Marco said trying to get Tim to look at him.
"Yeah ok, so why don't you just tell me that all you wanted was sex?" Tim said before standing up and walking down the hallway away from Marco.
Marco hit his head against the locker behind him before getting up and following Tim. Outside Marco finds Tim is walking home, and he runs up to him.
"Tim, I didn't say that. I wasn't just using you for sex. I really do love you. I just I don't know what to do about everything. I think that I need to focus on my father and I. I think that it might be easier to do if I'm single. That way I have no excuse to use to get out of the house."
"Whatever asshole," Tim said as he continued walking faster away from Marco.
Marco rolled his eyes and continued to walk as well.
OoOoO
He turned towards the park and went and sat down on a bench. It was a familiar bench for him. He and Dylan spent many days and nights sitting there talking, and he often went there when he needed to think. He was lost in thought when Dylan sat down next to him.
"Hey Marco," Dylan says quietly.
"Dylan, what are you doing here?" Marco says shocked to see him.
"I come here when I need to think. What about you?" Dylan asks.
"Same thing. How have you been?" Marco asks trying to be friendly.
"Not so great, what about you?" Dylan asks.
"Uh don't even ask." Marco says rolling his eyes.
"That bad huh?" Dylan says smiling at how cute Marco looks when he rolls his eyes.
"Yeah, I came out to my dad finally." Marco says locking eyes with Dylan.
"I saw, I mean I was at the drama festival to see Paige, and so I saw it. How is he taking it?" Dylan says knowing that secretly he went to the drama festival to see Marco.
"He wont even acknowledges me. I talked to ma, and she told me that I can move out, but I don't think I wanted to that now. I mean I do, but I think I need to work stuff out with my dad. On top if it all, my boyfriend thinks I used him for sex." Marco just started spilling everything. He didn't care that it was Dylan sitting next to him. He really just needed to talk to someone about everything.
"Did you?" Dylan asks.
"No, I'm not you." Marco says coldly.
"Marco, I didn't use you for sex, and I never had sex with anyone else last year or this year for that matter. I was only making out with Eric, and that ended the night of the party. I realized that I screwed up, but you wont give me a chance to proof that I really do love you, and only you." Dylan says.
"How did this turn from my father and I to you and me?" Marco asks.
"I have no idea, but I really do love you," Dylan said not liking that Marco is changing the subject to avoid what he is saying.
"I love you too," Marco whispers barely audible.
Dylan slides closer to Marco and wraps his arms around him bring him in for a hug.
God I've missed him so much. But can I really be doing this to Tim? He is such a great guy. I love him too, but Dylan…well Dylan has been here since I first came out. We are connected deeper than anyone else could ever be. What am I going to do?
Marco lost it, he no longer could control his emotions and be began to cry. Dylan felt the tears soaking into his shirt and continued to comfort him.
"Shh, it's all going to be ok. I'm here for you no matter what, Marco." Dylan was whispering into Marco's ear as he lightly rubbed his back and played with his hair.
Marco continued to cry. He loved having Dylan there to comfort him. Tim was good at that too, but Dylan's much stronger body helped Marco feel safer.
OoOoO
Sort of a cliffhanger! Once again I apologize for the long wait, I didn't mean to make it that long. Hopefully you guys will like this chapter. I think it's confusing myself, and I know that I could have done better, but I'm just not feeling this story much anymore! I'll probably have only one or two more chapters until the end, give me some ideas of how you want it to play out! Thanks! REVIEW!
