Chapter 3: The Aftermath

Jimmy's eyes slowly opened making him more aware of the pain that was throbbing in his head; he winced as the sun's light streamed through the window. He closed his eyes and sighed wondering how long the pain would stay. Suddenly the room door opened and footsteps approached the bed.

"I went to the nurse's wing and got some aspirin for you." Devon's voice said, Jimmy slowly opened his eyes and took in the image of Devon nervously going to hand him a cup and two white pills. Jimmy took them and weakly smiled.

"Thanks, so what happened last night?" Jimmy asked as he tried to remember what had happened. Devon quickly stood up and walked to his bed, he then looked at Jimmy and bit his lip. "What did I do something wrong? What happened?"

"Um…you kissed…me." Devon said quickly, then turning away facing the window embarrassed. Jimmy let the words sink in and swallowed the pills along with the lump in his throat, he search his mind and tried to remember what exactly happened.

"What happened after that?" Jimmy anxiously asked wondering if they had gone all the way. Devon turned so he was facing Jimmy and sat on his bed.

"Nothing, after we kissed I told you I wasn't feeling well and I laid down. You said sorry and went to sleep." Devon said as he imagined what would happen if anyone else found out especially Ashley.

"So does anyone else know?" Jimmy softly questioned in a barely audible tone. Devon shook his head from side to side and cleared his throat.

"I'll see you later, I have to meet Karma." Devon said as he stood up and went for the door, Jimmy quickly got up and grasped Devon's hand before it touched the door.

"I got one question…do you feel anything between us?" Jimmy sincerely questioned wanting to know Devon's feelings. Devon slowly pulled his hand from Jimmy's and looked into his eyes.

"I can't do this, it happened before and it led to nothing but….pain." Devon miserably gazed into Jimmy's eyes and left. Devon closed the door behind him and wondered if Jimmy would make him happy or would it be like before with James. He made his way to the dining area; he looked around seeing a two of Jimmy's friends Spinner and Jay. They seemed to be in a heated conversation about the night before. He sat at a table by the window and looked around for Karma trying to ignore their words.

"I can't believe you let me do that!" Jay yelled at Spinner who stood up and glared.

"What do you mean; I can't believe you let me give you a damn hickey!" Spinner retorted as he quickly covered his neck and began getting red in the face. Jay stood up and bit his lip; he got quiet and stood there waiting for Spinner to say something else. "So how far did we go since you remember more than me?"

"Um…." Jay's face scrunched up in disgust, he leaned forward and whispered something in Spinner's ear. Spinner's eyes got wide and he quickly wiped his mouth, he looked around and quickly left the dining area with Jay following after him saying sorry. Devon sighed and thought about what Jay might've whispered in Spinner's ear. He then began to wonder how many people mad mistakes that night for being drunk or high or on some type of drug.

"Breathe, you look like your about to pass out." Karma said as she sat down across from Devon at the two seated table. "So did you have fun yesterday with Jimmy? He was pretty drunk you could've had your way with him."

"Whatever and you could've had your way with his girlfriend…you lesbian." Devon said before Karma gave him a look that she only gave him when she knew something had happened or there was a secret.

"Let me guess you and Jimmy did something together." Karma stated in more of a statement than a question, her green eyes piercing into Devon's. Devon looked down and began nibbling on his bottom lip, it was a habit that he had when he was nervous or hiding something. "How far did you go with him?"

"We only kissed…well he kissed me and I kissed back for a little…but I thought about Ashley and him and made an excuse. But before I came here he asked me if I had any feelings for him or felt feelings between us something like that." Devon answered as Karma slowly nodding taking everything in.

"So what did you say?" Karma asked as a waitress began to approach them.

"I told him I couldn't do it." Devon said feeling tears starting to form in his eyes, he pulled them back just in time for the waitress to stop and pull out a notepad.

"Are you two ready to order?"

"Yeah, can I please have a Caesar salad with ranch dressing and a cup of water with ice?" Karma asked the waitress wrote her order down and nodded. "And how about you?"

"Um…can I please have an order of chili fries and a cup of orange soda?" Devon said smiling and putting his attention back on Karma. "So did I do the right thing?"

"I can't be the one to say if you did or didn't, but I suggest you talk to Jimmy about it. See if he has feelings for you, but don't go spreading around what happened because most likely drama will come from it and we are trying to have a vacation not a war." Karma said, Devon nodded and thought about how he would tell Jimmy his feelings and try not to think of James.

Jimmy walked behind Ashley, Ellie, and Jesse as they headed for a table; the waitress in front of them was rude and a bit bitchy. Jimmy looked toward the window and saw Devon; he caught his gaze and smiled. Devon bit his lip and slowly looked away; Karma looked and smiled at Jimmy. He smiled back and kept walking catching up to the group. He sat next to Jesse and across from Ashley at the table that seated four people.

"So what happened yesterday after I left?" Jesse asked as the waitress took their orders and left.

"Well Ash, Jay, Spin, Karma, Me, and…Devon got a little drunk. Paige and Alex got high again. Ellie left early and Dylan and Marco made up again." Jimmy said making sure to leave the part out where he had kissed Devon.

"I couldn't take anymore of them fighting…I mean that's what they mostly do and then they make up and probably have make-up sex." Jesse said, everyone began laughing and started talking about what they wanted to do for the rest of the cruise. Jimmy zoned out and turned, he found Devon again and began to stare at him wishing he could feel his lips again and wrap his arms around his waist and smell his cologne than made him feel like he was in a dream. He watched as Devon sipped his drink and talked to Karma, he soon after began biting his nails. After a few seconds he heard the conversation die down, he turned around and saw everyone looking at him in an odd way.

"What happened?" Jimmy asked now fully out of his daze.

"Jimmy are you okay? You seem a little out of it." Ashley questioned feeling his forehead.

"Yeah I'm fine, but I'll see you guys later I just remembered Marco was looking for me earlier. He said it was important." Jimmy said as he took the last bite of his burger and wiped his mouth, he kissed Ashley's lips softly and left heading for Marco's room.

"Maybe Marco can give me some answers or advice about what to do." Jimmy thought as he once again glanced at Devon.
