Title: You Won't Be The One That Got Away

Summary: The two ended up at the same bar every Friday night. One came to dance, one came to do his job. They were two different worlds, colliding on these ambitious Friday nights when the party goers were out. Stealing glances across the bar, one wishing the other would knew he existed, the other wishing he never existed at all.

Chapter Fifteen

In two weeks time, Sky and Bridge found themselves pulling into the driveway of a very quaint, one story house in some backwoods of Chesapeake, Virginia. They had driven in Bridge's car from their home, since it wasn't nearly as far from their town as Washington was. Maybe about an eight hour drive. Not to mention, they didn't have a time limit, or weren't as in much of a hurry as when visiting Bridge's father.

Bridge parked the car, Sky immediately hopping out and rushing to the door of his parent's home, knocking loudly, then impatiently tapping at the doorbell as is this was the most exciting thing to happen to him. Soon enough, the door opened, revealing a small, dark haired young woman. An excited grin came across her face as she immediately jumped her brother in a tight hug.

Bridge eventually slid out of the car, taking careful steps towards the front door as the siblings got reunited. "Who's this?" she questioned with a curious smirk, staring at him as he finally got up to the front porch.

Sky stared back at him for a second, a number of answers flying through his brain. "Best friend," he simply said with a sure nod, Bridge frowning that nothing else came out, but he respected his boyfriend's wishes for now. "Where's mom and dad?"

"They went out to get some more things for my graduation party," Michelle explained, averting her attention to the guy still standing in the doorway. "You don't have to stand outside, honey," she laughed then, outstretching her arm to slink it around his shoulder and drag him inside.

Bridge felt her getting a little close for his comfort, then seeing Sky turning around to head back to the car to get their suitcases, leaving him alone to suffer with the brunette young lady. "My brother's dick sometimes, he didn't even introduce us."

"Name's Bridge," he smiled briefly as she led him into the living room, letting him sit down. She quickly took a seat beside time, crossing her legs at her ankles. "And you're Michelle… I've heard… congratulations."

"Thanks," she muttered, leaning into him slightly before she noticed her brother dragging in a few suitcases. Hopping from the couch, she immediately ran over to show him where they could put their things. Sky was going to be in his room, and she assumed that Sky was going to use the guest bedroom.

Bridge sat in the living room, staring around at the pictures and things along the wall. It wasn't soon before long when Sky returned to the living room, signaling his boyfriend to head down the hallway with him. The boy stood up, rushing down the hallway before the two of the ducked into a room. Sky closed the door as the Bridge began inspecting this room now.

It was small, most of the floor space covered by an entertainment center and the huge bed. Everything was kept neatly, the bed made, and Sky's suitcase tossed on top of it. "So, you're sister… she's nice and friendly," Bridge muttered, taking a seat on Sky's bed, staring at the many music posters and trophies from high school football spread around the area.

"She thinks you're hot," Sky stated bluntly, given that his little sister decided to ramble this one on in the seconds that they were away from Bridge.

"Did you tell her you think the same?" his boyfriend smirked, bouncing himself against the large bed for a moment before Sky turned around, narrowing his eyes on him. "Where are my things?"

"In the guest bedroom…"

Bridge cautiously glanced at his companion, then averting his attention to the closed door. "I'm not sleeping with you?"

Sky pressed his index finger to his mouth, indicating that they were obviously not telling his family about him and Bridge being together. He figured that was going to happen, but he couldn't say he wasn't upset about it. Biting his lip, he nodded his head in return, planning on keeping to himself for the rest of the time that they were there.

Later that night, the boys found themselves out at a nearby restaurant in celebration of Michelle's graduation. It was just a family thing, and Bridge, since he had come all the way from their home town to visit. It really didn't make much sense to Sky's parents why he came, but then again, their son wasn't telling the whole story still.

"What have you been up to, boy?" his father questioned as he began digging into his meal. "You don't call often…"

"I've been busy," Sky stated with a sure nod of his head, running his fork over his food before tossing a glance to Bridge, who had chose to sit away from him. He was now sitting in between Michelle and Sky's mother. "Busy with school… and work… things like that."

Bridge brought his green eyed glance to his boyfriend, knowing for a fact that he didn't go to school. In fact, he avoided it at all costs because there was nothing there for him and his musical talents, at least he didn't seem to think so. "Work? You didn't tell me about your job? Where are you at now?" his mother questioned with a smile, sipping a bit of her ice tea. "You're not working at Hooters anymore, are you?"

Sky blushed, seeing Bridge smirk from the corner of his eye at this new found situation. "No, mom… I'm not."

"Good, because those scantily clad women are such a bad influence on you," his mother continued, Bridge's grin growing wider as he held back his urge to start laughing at all of this. "Of course, you did meet that really nice girl there… Gayle… she's such a sweetheart. Are you still with her?"

Sky looked up, biting his lip before tapping his fork against the edge of his plate. "Yeah," he murmured without even thinking, the smirk that was on Bridge's face immediately disappearing. "She went off to school, though, so we don't see each other as often as we wish."

Michelle smiled, leaning a bit to her left to bump shoulders. "What about you? I bet you have girls all over you back home," she grinned then, being incredibly obvious about her desire to most likely jump him right then and there. She was completely opposite of her brother, letting her feelings hang on her sleeve.

Suddenly feeling the urge to be sick, Bridge excuse himself from the table, making it seem like he was heading towards the bathroom, but he passed it up and stormed straight outside, collapsing on a bench that was out there.

Inside, Sky sat at the table, feeling guilty for lying like he was. He just felt so pressured to make his parents happy, so if that meant answering yes to everything, making it seem like he was perfect, then that's what he did, weather he meant to or not. It was just like some initiative his brain took for him.

Suddenly he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket, seeing that it was Bridge calling him. He narrowed his eyes, glancing around at his family. "I need to step outside… work's calling," he murmured, the rest of them nodding in understanding before he made his way away from the table.

Wandering towards the exit, he stopped in the little lobby of the restaurant, answering his phone. "Hey…"

"Come outside," Bridge mumbled before hanging up the phone, leaving his boyfriend with a dead tone.
