OMG! I'm so so sorry for not updating sooner. I ended up going away for a few days with my sister and had no internet connection to update, even though I've had it ready for a few days.

Anyway, thank you to EVERYBODY who reviewed the last chapter. I'm sorry I haven't sent a personal reply to anyone, but I thought the update was more important. Anyway, on with the update, enjoy :D

Boarding School Hell

The rest of the shopping trip was in silence, and now the two teens were on their way back to the Halliwell Manor. Once the car pulled into the driveway, Wyatt stayed in the driver's seat, staring at the steering wheel. What was he meant to say? He could hardly be pissed off, he had never told Chris everything about his ex-girlfriends, and that was ex-girlfriends plural, if Chris was engaged to Bianca, that meant they were together was a while, which possibly meant that Chris had not had that many girlfriends in his young life.

Chris had struggled to say anything to Wyatt the whole time, he knew he had been in the wrong for not telling Wyatt the truth, but he thought it best. After all, he was never expecting to see Bianca again, definitely not in the supermarket while he was with Wyatt. Hearing his lover sigh, Chris finally gained the courage to speak up.

"Me and Bianca, we broke up five months ago…"

"It's not that that I'm bothered about," Wyatt shook his head, then realised five months and she still had the ring on her finger, she was obviously expecting more off Chris, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't know," Chris shook his head, "I never thought it important…"

"You were engaged to your ex!" Wyatt laughed, now looking into his lover's jade green eyes, "That's not something I should have known? How long were you two even together? Don't you think at 17 you were a bit young?" But Wyatt knew himself that that was not entirely true, with the way he felt for Chris, if this was how Chris felt for Bianca at the time he could see why he asked her to marry him.

"I didn't feel too young at the time," Chris shook his head, "We were together for about a year before I asked her. We got together a bit after my parents died, and I thought I loved her," Chris sighed, looking away from his lover as he felt confused himself, "It's stupid I know. I was only just 17, actually on my birthday, when I asked her to marry me, and yeah, too young, I didn't have a clue what I really wanted, but it happened and we were together for another eight months until I decided that it was wrong. That I didn't love her if I spent the semester cheating on her with a guy."

The Halliwell sighed, so Chris was not lying by the fact that he had broken up with Bianca, but now he realised just how serious the two were when they were together. A lot more serious than Wyatt had ever been with his ex-girlfriends.

"Why didn't you tell me though? Did you seriously think I'd be pissed off?" Wyatt shook his head, with a deep sigh, "I mean, c'mon, we've both been in other relationships, it's not like this could have really affected us. Nothing like me having to tell you my ex was pregnant with my baby!" The Perry felt stupid as he thought that. He honestly thought Wyatt would act strange finding out he had been engaged to Bianca, there was only Titch and Speedy that knew about the engagement, but had never said anything, even once they found out they had broken up.

"I just didn't know how you'd react," Chris admitted, "It's not every day you find out you boyfriend was engaged to a woman, right? And at 17?"

"How old is she?" Wyatt asked, agreeing with his brunette lover, "I mean, she's older than you, right?" As Chris nodded his head, Wyatt bit his lip in anticipation.

"Only by a year." Chris admitted.

"There are no feelings there for her, are there?" Wyatt made sure, knowing now exactly how Chris felt when Caitlin had turned up.

"Wyatt, I love you, not her." Chris answered.

"But you thought you loved her."

"I never felt for her the way I feel for you," the 18-year-old explained, "You're the first person I think about when I wake up, and the last before I go to sleep. I get butterflies in my stomach every time I think about you, let alone see you. I never had that with her."

As the 17-year-old sighed, he nodded his head, understanding what Chris was saying. Chris was right, just because they had been engaged did not mean he loved Bianca. If he really did love Bianca, he would not have fooled around with Ben while at school.

"I suppose being engaged to someone is better then sleeping with lots of different girls." He finally said, mainly to himself.

"Lots?" Chris looked at Wyatt, realising they had not really spoken about this. Maybe they should have before their relationship got so serious.

"Never mind," Wyatt shook his head, refusing to count the notches on his bedpost, "We should get the groceries inside."

Frowning, Chris in the end had to just agree and help his lover take the bags of groceries into the house.

"Ok, spill," Chris heard his friend's voice over the telephone, "You haven't called me all holiday. Has something happened between you and Wyatt?"

"No, not really," Chris shook his head, but realised the person on the other end of the phone could not see that, "There's been a few little problems but we've sorted it. I'm just worried about something, Titch."

"Go on then." The boy on the other end of the phone said.

"We bumped into Bianca today," Chris sighed, but knew he would need to continue, "She still had the engagement ring on."

"What!" Titch exclaimed from the other end of the phone, "I thought you two broke up before you got back."

"We did break up, five months ago," Chris sighed, sitting on the bed in Wyatt's room, "Wyatt saw it too, he's found out and realised I wasn't exactly truthful."

"Oh, he's not blown up at you, has he?" Titch's voice rang over the phone, "He's not lashed out…"

"NO!" Chris shouted, shaking his head, again, "No, no lashing out…there's been dramas over that already. Lots of dramas. Not at him lashing out at me, but him lashing out at people."

"What's happened?" Titch was not too sure whether to laugh or be worried.

"Well, Wyatt's ex has turned up pregnant, it then turned out it could have been his brother's. Wyatt and his brother got into a scrap, then his ex told him it was definitely his…and now Bianca turns up, still with an engagement ring on her finger, and actually flashed it in front of Wyatt's face. I think she has an idea," the brunette sighed, realising just how much of a mess everything sounded and then though of other things, "Oh and Wyatt's family know about me and him, and his cousin walked in on us, I never told you that one, did I?"

"Wait, Wyatt's ex is pregnant?"

"Yeah."

"Ouch!" Chris could picture his 17-year-old friend biting his lip, "What's going on about that?"

"We don't know yet," Chris replied, laying back on the bed, "But, I need to figure out what to do about B."

"Easy," Titch laughed, "Get the ring off her, tell her that you're with Wyatt and then tell her to fuck off. She's crazy dude, I still can't believe you asked her to marry you. Did I tell you how stupid you were?"

"No, you didn't actually," Chris replied, "I know, I wasn't thinking, especially when I knew I was feeling things for Ben, but…man, this is crazed. I guess I just needed someone who knew me to talk to."

"It is crazed, but Wyatt's still talking to you right?"

"Yeah, it's kind of sorted out," the 18-year-old answered, "He did tell me that it was better being engaged to someone rather than sleeping with the amount of girls he'd slept with."

"How many?"

"I don't know."

"Do you want to know?"

Chris was about to answer, but there was a knock at the door, "It's open," Chris called out to the door, "Sorry, dude, I'm gonna have to do."

"Wyatt?"

"No, his cousin," Chris sighed, "I'm going out for coffee with her. The one that walked in on me and Wy."

"Oh right," Titched laughed over the phone, "Have fun. Call me again if you need to, but I'm sure it'll sort itself out. Everything else has done right? You love him, Chris, you've told me, and I know for a fact he loves you. Have a good Christmas."

"Cheers dude, you too," Chris smiled as he looked at Patty who had opened the bedroom door, "Speak to you soon."

As Chris hung up, Patty Trudeau laughed slightly.

"Wyatt's just told me," she simply stated, "C'mon, coffee."

"Do you go an hour without it?"

"Nope," she laughed with a beaming smile, "C'mon."

Sighing and laughing at the same time, the Perry stood up and made his way out of the house with the 20-year-old and into her car.

"So, you were engaged?" Patty looked to the teen, "I wasn't expecting that one. At least it's nothing too relationship damaging, like her being pregnant."

"Yeah," Chris chuckled, "That one definitely wouldn't have been good."

"I wouldn't worry too much about it," Patty shook her head, "It'll be fine if you explained everything to him."

Chris bit his bottom lip and looked out of the passenger window. Patty took that as Chris had not told Wyatt everything.

"How much are you hiding?"

"Oh, just the fact that me and B were best friends growing up." Chris sighed, closing his eyes, he knew he should have been completely honest about his relationship with her.

"Anything else?" Patty took a quick glance in the brunette's direction and could see from the way he kept looking away from her that there was, "How much will it hurt him?"

"I don't know," Chris whispered, "You'll have to tell me."

"So wait, he was engaged to her?" Parker sat at the kitchen table, as he watched Wyatt and Piper unpacking the groceries.

"Yeah," Wyatt nodded, "She had the ring and everything."

"Well at least she's not pregnant," Parker smiled, earning glares from both his mother and brother, "What was she like?"

"Good looking," Wyatt hated to admit it, "Olive skin, those stupidly perfect manicured nails…" Piper and Parker both laughed at Wyatt's comment.

"Sweetie, just because he was engaged to her doesn't mean he's going to want her back now he's seen her," Piper tried to relax her eldest son, seeing the worry in his baby blue eyes, "He loves you. He must do if he's going to stand by you when your own ex-girlfriend is pregnant."

"It's not that I'm worried I'm gonna lose him," Wyatt sighed, now sitting down on the table to run his hands through his golden locks, "It's the fact that he never told me about it. You'd have thought something like that would come up."

"Did you ever ask about her?" Piper asked, but she knew from when her eldest sister first saw Andy again after they had both left school, she had told him about her engagement to Roger Dempsey, her ex-boss, but then again that was two friends making small talk, getting to know each other again.

"A little," Wyatt nodded his head, "I asked how long they had been together. I just never asked how serious it was. I figured that they'd been together for two years it wouldn't have gotten that serious."

"Two years?" Parker laughed, "That's like more than double your longest relationship."

"Parker, not the time." Piper tried to scowled her younger of her two sons in the room, but he just continued.

"I mean, does he know how many girls you slept with?"

"Parker!" Now Piper did not need to hear about that. She wanted to think of her sons as innocent angels.

"Ok, does he know how many girlfriends you've had?" Parker rephrased the questions, "How many pregnancy scares you've really had."

"Parker!" Wyatt glared at his younger brother, his mother did not know about any pregnancy scares, and did not need to know.

"Pregnancy scares?" Piper asked her eldest son.

"They all came out negative, mom," Parker smiled at his mother, trying to cover for the older brother, "Don't worry mom."

Piper shook her head and started to walk out of the kitchen.

"Call me when I can come back into the room," she said, as she was leaving, "I don't think I want to know what my two teenage sons have been getting up to."

Once Piper left, the two Halliwell teens knew they could talk more freely.

"Ok then, does he know?"

"What about?"

"How many girls you've slept with?" Wyatt just looked to his brother, and then at the table, shaking his head, "Do you even know the answer to that?"

"Yes Parker, I do, thank you very much," Wyatt retorted, "I'm not as much of a man-whore as you think I am."

"Does he know how unserious any of you girlfriends have ever been?"

"Not really."

"So why do you expect to know how serious his relationships have been?" Parker asked, "Who cares if he was engaged to her. At least you're not going have your boyfriend's ex popping up every now and again looking for money for a kid. He will have because of your ex. This isn't that bad, unless he's hiding something else about her."

Sighing, the elder Halliwell knew his baby brother was right. As he looked at his watch, he sighed.

"Right, I'm gonna have to go shopping," he said, sighing, "Do you want to come with me, we'll find you something you can get mom?"

"You need to tell him how serious you two had got, Chris," Patty sat in a coffee shop in the centre of San Francisco with the Perry, "That you were best friends."

"It's not just the fact me and B were best friends," Chris shook his head, looking at his coffee as he spoke, "She was my first. My first girlfriend, my first…everything!"

The 18-year-old looked into the Trudeau's dark hazel eyes, as he saw her searching his eyes to find out how truthful he was being.

"You're first girlfriend?" the 20-year-old now asked, "You said you got with her at 15…"

"Yeah," Chris nodded, "I'd never had a girlfriend before her. I wasn't the most best looking or funniest, or even confident of guys. And then I went to an all-boys school. She helped me through my parent's death in the summer that it happened and things led from there…She was my rock when I needed her."

"And Wyatt has no idea about that?" As Chris shook his head, she soon realised why they had rushed everything, why Chris had proposed so quickly into the relationship. She had wondered how everything had moved so fast for them, especially with Chris being in a boarding school. After all she thought her and her fiancé were moving quite fast, getting engaged after a year and ten months of dating, but after a year was definitely fast.

"You know, I don't think he'll flip out about that," Patty smiled, "And anyway, he didn't seem too phased about Bianca turning out to be your ex-fiancée rather than your ex-girlfriend. It'll be fine, at least it's not another girl turning up pregnant."

Chris smiled slightly and looked up, nodding his head.

"There's slightly more though," Chris bit his bottom lip, "Bianca was a little, well, crazy I think would be a good way of putting it. She was really possessive and with her now finding out about Wyatt…"

"You think she's gonna try something to get back at Wyatt?"

"I'm not sure," Chris admitted, "It's not like she'll think she's the one that turned me gay, she knew I was confused about myself, and knew about a guy that I had a thing with, but it doesn't stop her from acting all jealous."

"And you're worried about Wyatt's temper?"

"More than anything, yeah."

"Worry about that when it comes to it," Patty smiled, "So, are there any other girls or guys we could bump into?"

"One guy," Chris rolled his eyes, "But if we bump into him then I will seriously be shocked."

"Why?"

"We dated for a month, he was my rebound after Bianca," Chris sighed, "Nothing serious, especially when I found out he was doing drugs."

"Oh right," the female brunette nodded her head, "Anyway, do you need to get Wyatt's Christmas present or anything while we're in town?"

"No, I've already got it."

"When?" Patty looked confused, wondering how Chris had found time but Wyatt had not.

"When there was the whole thing with Caitlin and the baby," Chris explained, "I had some time while they were doing all their talking, just before Jackson blurted out about Parker, so used it to my advantage."

Patty smiled and then leaned forward onto the table, "So, what you got him?"

"That's for me to know and you to wonder."

"Oh, c'mon, you can tell me."

"You'll have to find out."

"I know what he's getting you so…"

"I'm not saying," Chris laughed, "And like you'd tell me what he's getting me, anyway."

"Ok, so what do you want to do?"

"How long do we have to be out?" Chris asked and then shook his head, "This is why you're bringing me out for coffee, Wyatt has to get my present." he laughed as he realised he was right.

"I want to know more about this girl of yours," Patty smiled, "I know all about all of Wyatt's ex's, surely I get to know about yours."

"How many ex's has Wyatt had?" Chris was suddenly worried again, not that it should really worry him too much. He was with Wyatt now, but what worried him more was how long until Wyatt got bored of him. He had already been told Wyatt was going to break up with Caitlin even if he was not going to Trinity, out of boredom, so how long did Chris have?

"Do you really want to know that?"

"That many?"

Patty looked at the table, just as her cellphone started to ring. She looked at the caller ID to see Wyatt's name flashing, "Hey sweetie, you finished?" a smile played on the elder's face, "Ok then, sweetie. Tell Aunt Piper we'll be home soon. Bye."

"Wyatt?" Chris asked, as the 20-year-old hung up from the call.

"Yeah, they're just getting home now," Patty nodded, "You wanna go?"

The Perry nodded his head and they both stood up. They were leaving the café as Patty linked her arm with the 18-year-old.

"So, how did you and Wyatt cope with Caitlin in the room next to yours last night?"

Wyatt and Parker had just got into the Manor with their bags, when they realised that it was quite, possibly a little too quiet.

"Mom?" Wyatt called out, but received no answer. As he made his way to the kitchen, he heard his brother calling out Matt and Dad, but still there came no answer. Of course, Leo was at work again, so he would not answer, but it was sometimes worth a try. The older Halliwell walked straight to the fridge to see a note pinned to it.

Wyatt, Parker,

Talking to Caitlin's parents. Matt is with Aunt Paige.

Will be back soon.

Love Mom x

His mother always left a note on the fridge if she was going out without them knowing, and always asked for them to do the same.

"I can't believe we bumped into Max." Parker laughed as they began to walk up the stairs to their rooms to put away the presents they had bought.

"I can't believe Caitlin's already told him about me being gay." Wyatt shook his head. Max was a friend of his, well he thought he was a friend of his, but after the conversation he had had just twenty minutes ago, he was not too sure. They played on the same basketball team at school, it'll just be put that way.

"He's such a dick," Parker lent on Wyatt's doorframe, as Wyatt searched for somewhere to put Chris' present where Chris would not find it. In the end, Parker held out his hand, so Wyatt gave him it and they made their way back to Parker's room, "I thought he was one of your friends."

"He was," Wyatt nodded, "But it's only like how you and dad first acted."

"Yeah but…" Parker sighed and realised part of Wyatt was right, "There was just something different about it all."

"Yeah," Wyatt frowned, "It's ok, it's times like this I find out who my real friends were at that school. And find out half the guys there really were dicks."

"Like me?"

"Like both of us, Parker," the older Halliwell sighed, "I've finally realised how much of a complete asshole I was to some of the guys there." His 16-year-old brother simply nodded his head as he put the present on the top shelf of his wardrobe and came out of his room.

"As if Caitlin's already told people," Wyatt sighed, "You'd have thought she wouldn't want people to know the father of her child is gay, wouldn't you?"

"She hates you for it, doesn't she?"

"She hates Chris, I'll tell you that."

"I'm not surprised," Parker laughed lightly as they made their way back down the stairs, "He's the guy who turned you gay."

Wyatt laughed as he shook his head. His brother was slightly right, without realising it. Chris was the reason Wyatt had turned gay, he would have never thought it until he got the Trinity and met his 18-year-old boyfriend. As they chattered more, the front door opened for Chris and Patty to walk in.

"How was your shopping?" Patty asked as soon as she saw the two Halliwell brothers, "Get what you wanted?"

"Yes, thank you," Wyatt smiled, and then looked at Chris, "Do you think we can talk?" Chris gulped, usually that meant something bad, his insecurities were coming back to him, but he nodded anyway. They would have to have this talk eventually. The two teens never went too far, just into the sunroom, where they could go into the back garden and talk in the warm winter sun. Immediately, Chris lit a cigarette up to calm his nerves about this talk, and surprising to him, Wyatt did the same, he was obviously nervous about something too.

"You and Bianca…" Wyatt started the conversation, after all he was the one who wanted to talk, "I know it shouldn't really bother me, but it does in a way. Well, not bothers as such, but worries me."

"Why would it worry you?"

"Because I've now realised how serious you got with her," the Halliwell sighed, "I never realised you'd been serious with anyone, I know I haven't until you came along, I've never felt this way, ever…"

"Neither have I, Wy."

"No, but you've felt something similar. You asked her to marry you, Chris, and I know you wouldn't do that lightly," as the Perry nodded his head, understanding, Wyatt continued, "I guess, I'm just worried that you're gonna realise there was something there with Bianca, since she obviously still ahs feelings for you, and leave me."

"I'm not going back to her, Wyatt," Chris shook his head, "You don't know the full reason why we broke up, still, do you?" As Wyatt shook his head, Chris locked their eyes together, "It wasn't just because I'd realised I didn't love her. And wasn't because I'd finally realised I wasn't completely straight. She was my first girlfriend, Wy, she looked at me when no-one else did, and was my best friend growing up, but I never realised how possessive and jealous she could be. She was a little crazed in the head, I swear, it's partly the reason I didn't tell you much about her. I didn't want you to think I was an idiot for staying with her, but I was trying to cling on to some normality."

"So you don't like possessiveness?" Wyatt bit his lower lip, but had a small smile playing, as he looked deep into his lover's green eyes.

"I don't mind your possessiveness," Chris replied with a smile, "It's nothing like hers was. Look, there is no chance I would ever ever ever want to get back with her, even if I was straight or even bi. But with you, I know I'm whole. I love you, Wyatt and wouldn't go back to her ever."

Wyatt nodded his head, with a smile, understanding, as he thought about something Chris had said.

"So, she was your first?" he stated, "Go on then, how many other girls have you slept with?"

"None," Wyatt tilted his head, wondering how true Chris was being, "I've slept with three people Wy. I've slept with double the amount of guys than girls. Now here comes where I ask you." The Halliwell gulped, he had never realised how reserved Chris had been. He had thought Chris had had a lot more experience than he was saying, especially from the way he had always been around him, "Wyatt, I honestly don't care."

"fourteen," Wyatt sighed, seeing Chris' eyebrows raise, surprised at hearing what he's saying, "And it gets worse, all in the space of a year and half."

"A year and a half?" Chris frowned, "Ok, any of those serious?"

"Not as serious as us," Wyatt sighed, "Caitlin's my longest relationship, ok. Five months is my longest, but I'm with you now and I want to make this work for longer than that, and longer than your two years. I love you, Chris, I know I love you. Like you said to me, you're the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about before I go to sleep. We can get past all this, can't we?"

"Do you want to?" Chris asked, "Because hearing you've never had a serious relationship in your life kind of makes me worry…"

"Maybe because I was gay without realising it, that's why my relationship with girls were never serious. I wasn't happy," Wyatt felt like he was pleading Chris to keep them together, but he knew Chris was now just seeing what he was really like and how much Trinity had changed him, "I love you Chris. Does that count for anything?"

The 18-year-old looked into the ocean blue eyes of his lover, but kept his face completely straight, "I love you too, Wyatt…"

"But…" thought Chris looked at Wyatt confused, "There's always a but." The Perry just laughed and shook his head.

"No but," and then he winked, "Just yet. I love you, Wyatt, and yes I think we can get past this. I just have to get that damned ring from Bianca."

"I'll help you…"

"You've got your own ex to knock some sense into," Chris rolled his eyes and they finished their cigarettes and walked back into the house, "Maybe we should deal with our own ex's, hopefully then there are no more dramas, hey?"

Wyatt smiled and nodded his head; "Yeah, you're right."

sorry about any mistakes, I had already proof-read this but then my internet crashed as I was trying to save it, so lost everything I changed and now can't remember exactly where all the mistakes were so may have missed them.

Anyway, please review to tell me what you thought. Will them both going to see their repective ex's really cut down the dramas?
