Ramsey had been waiting around the Omega Chi house all day, mostly for Evan to come back. Evan had all afternoon classes which left Ramsey at a loss of things to do. He had already listened to his iPod until it died, tried to read a book, and stole some guy's sandwich out of the refrigerator; he was out of things to do. Currently he was sprawled out on Evan's bed trying to sleep. This wasn't going very well, as he was still trying to figure out how he was going to explain this whole situation. He figured he'd just wait until Evan brought it up and then confess and apologize mercilessly. Well, he didn't want to have to apologize, but he thought he better keep it in his back pocket. That along with some tears. Then the door to Evan's room burst open and Ramsey sat straight up on Evan's bed to see him.
"Hey." Evan said entering the room and unloading all his books onto his bed's sidetable. "How was shopping with Casey?"
"Meh. It was okay, nothing interesting" Ramsey shrugged his shoulders, "How was class?"
"Same old, same old" Evan answered, he didn't seem like he was in the conversation, his mind was somewhere totally different. "Listen" Ramsey's head shot up. "I talked to Mom and Dad today..."
"..And?" He asked ominously. He didn't know whether Evan knew already, and he didn't want to just blurt it out if he didn't. "What'd they say?"
"They said they want both of us to go over there and talk to them" Evan answered, his mind, still elsewhere in all the possibilities of what was so bad that Ramsey did as to have been kicked out. He and his brother had done some bad stuff when they were teens, but nothing as to have them kicked out of the house by their parents. He looked directly at his brother who was still sitting on his bed. "Can you at least tell me what happened?"
"You might want to sit down before I tell you" Ramsey wasn't sure if he was joking or not when saying that. But Evan still took his instruction and grabbed a chair from his desk and moved it front of Ramsey. "U-u-um," Ramsey always stuttered when he was nervous, he couldn't help it. "We were having dinner, just like normal the other day and um, I had been thinking of telling them for a while now"
"Telling them, what exactly?" Evan began. "I won't judge you or hate you or anything, Ramsey, you can trust me"
"Are you sure?" Ramsey felt like he was about to vomit. He couldn't do this.
"Yes." Evan assured, there really wasn't much Ramsey could do to make Evan despise his guts. He was always going to be his little brother.
"I t-told them that…" Ramsey stuttered, yet again. This was harder then he thought it would be, the stuttering didn't help. "Um" This was going to be horrible. "Uh" Evan was going to hate him. "T-told them that I-I might be, um" Ramsey took in a deep breath, it was really now or never, and Evan was going to find out sooner or later if he didn't spit it out now. "Gay." God, he was going to puke.
"Oh." Were the only words that escaped Evans mouth at that point. He looked away from his brother and then back at him. Ramsey looked as if he was about to break out in tears. Evan didn't know what to say, he never thought this would be a problem with his own brother. "Are you sure?" He probably
shouldn't have said that, but at the moment his mouth was moving faster than his brain. He ran a hand through his perfectly combed hair as he spoke.
"I don't know" Ramsey started. He could hear his heart beating in his ears and could barely think properly. He had no idea whether he was straight or gay at the moment, he was just so confused.
What a relief. Well, Evan shouldn't exactly be thinking that. But the news is pretty big and overwhelming. Evan took a long and deep breath. "What did Mom and Dad say?"
"As I said, they told me I was ruining all their plans and all that crap" Ramsey was speaking nervously, he was almost one hundred percent sure that Evan was mad at him, that or he hated him or was ashamed of him. Whatever it was, the look on Evans face didn't look good and Ramsey hoped it didn't mean what he thought it did. "Are you mad at me?"
Evan knew what the obvious answer would be, to say 'No, of course not, this doesn't change anything.' But that would be lying. Sure he was a bit mad, but then I realized this wasn't really Ramsey's choice. He was more mad at his parents and at the fact that Ramsey couldn't just come out and tell him. Evan took another deep breath. He couldn't say anything, what if he said the wrong thing? It would end in him having to look at his brother with tears rolling down his eyes. That was a sight Evan didn't want to see. "No, I'm not mad at you at all" Whatever. Evan figured making a big deal out of this would just make matters worse. Besides, Ramsey was still his geeky little brother, that hadn't changed.
"Are you sure?" Ramsey asked. He figured Evan was lying to his face to make it seem like he could take this better than their parents. "It's okay, if you're a bit mad, I'd understand"
"No, Ramsey, I'm actually madder at Mom and Dad than I am at you"
"But you're mad?" Ramsey's voice was still slightly uneasy.
"Not that mad, but I'm more so mad at the fact that you didn't just tell me about this." Evan stated
"I didn't think you'd understand, I thought you'd like, disown me or something." Ramsey answered.
"I don't see how you could ever think that." Evan started, looking Ramsey square in the eyes. "I've put up with you for fifteen years now. I don't think I'm going to be giving up anytime soon"
Ramsey smiled. It was good to know his older brother was on his side of this. "Thank you, Evan" he said quietly, almost inaudibly.
"Don't mention it." Evan said, beginning to stand up. He was glad that that was over, now he could try and fix the next big problem, his parents. He really didn't get them. They were so obsessed with being the poster family of America that their only reaction to one of their sons possibly being gay was to kick them out.
"Wait, where are you going?" Ramsey asked, getting up from the bed following after his brother.
"Where do you think, I'm going, to see Mom and Dad" Evan started as he opened the closet to get a coat. "And you're coming with me"
