Chapter 19

The punk was thrown against the wall his face was all sorts of fun colors thanks to Mike's fist.

"Ughh… o-okay!" He begged at the verge of tears.

"I won't bother him anymore!" He agreed.

"Good, cause if I see anywhere near him I'll come back with more than just a warning." Mike let him go leaving. He had confessed to Chris about his true feelings but he took it as a joke! What a terrible guy he was. No, Chris knew he was serious he just choose to take it as a joke, even worse. Mike made his way back inside school.

Mike sat with Josh at the table Chris as usual sat next to Josh. Mike couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Chris was clearly in love with Josh, it showed so much. And here Josh was eating a fry completely blind. It made Mike sick. He hated it. Why was he getting so worked up over Chris? He wasn't anything special! And for starters, HE WAS A MAN! What the hell indeed? Was he gay? Bi? Mike began to wonder. He stood up leaving the table he couldn't stand to watch anymore. It hurt him to watch Chris be so desperate why couldn't he give him a chance? A chance to make him happy.

Later that night Mike decided to try something out. In his past he always liked women. So why now? When he should be at his prime scoring chicks left and right. Mike stood alone in the gay bar watching the men dance. He felt. Unsure. Was this a good idea? He tilted the glass back finishing the drink inside. No time to chicken out. Time to find out what he really was. It didn't take long for him to find a partner with his good looks and all. They spoke a bit basic talk. Simple and clean, until he was pulled away into a bathroom stall. Mike leaned against the stall feeling his heart race as the boy same age around him leaned in close. He was a blonde like Chris, Mike stared at him. If he closed his eyes and used his head it could be Chris. And so he did just that. Mike allowed the guy to kiss him, but quickly pushed him back. He covered his mouth.

"What the hell!?" The man protested to be pushed suddenly.

"S-sorry! This was a bad idea! I shouldn't be here! I'm not like you!" Mike explained.

"Excuse me?" The guy asked a little offended.

"I-I mean-" What did he mean? He choose to come here no one dragged him.

"I'm sorry! I have to go!" Mike squeezed passed him leaving. His mind was spinning. When it was Chris he wanted to do more than kiss, but when it was with some other guy he didn't. What the hell? Wanting to kiss the same sex would be considered homosexual period. But only if the same sex was the one you wanted? What the hell? Mike was more confused than before.

Mike sat in the classroom with his head down on the desk. Till a hand hit his back hard making him sit up screaming.

"Aah!" He cried to see Josh smiling at him.

"Ready partner?" Josh asked sitting down next to him.

"You look like shit." Josh commented.

"Didn't sleep much…" Mike replied.

"Oh yeah?" Josh asked.

"Yeah."

"I went to a ga-" He stopped. Josh looked at him a brow raised.

"Gas station." Mike replied his heart was beating faster now, if he wasn't awake before he was now!

"Gas? Station?" Josh asked.

"Y-yea! A certain one!" Mike laughed.

"O-kay." Josh replied. The teacher walked in he sat at his desk taking roll. He then instructed the student to open their books and begin reading.

During lunch Mike sat outside alone he watched as a couple walked passed him holding hands.

"Can I join you?" The voice asked. Mike looked back to see Chris.

"Uhh, y-yeah go for it." He replied turning his head back. Chris smiled as he sat down next to him joining him.

"Nice weather." Chris spoke starting a conversation. Mike glanced over at him, his heart was racing. Having Chris this close to him was turning him into a mess.

"Y-yeah…" He replied rubbing his hands together trying to rid the sweat that was collecting in his palms.

"Chris."

"Yeah?" Chris answered looking over at him.

"You… love Josh, right?" Mike asked Chris sat wide eye to be asked out of the blue. His cheeks turned a shade of red as he put his hands together.

"Y-yes." Chris replied. A moment of silence passed before Chris shook his head.

"I'm sorry but w-why are you asking?" Chris asked looking at Mike who remained quiet. Mike lowered his head.

"He's a man though." Mike spoke. Chris blinked lowering his gaze turning his head away looking on ahead.

"I know…" Chris replied. Mike raised his head looking at Chris as he spoke.

"But I love him." Chris smiled blushing thinking of Josh. Then it hit Mike. He truly was in love with Chris. Just Chris in general that was what he was attracted to. Mike lowered his gaze smiling he had figured it out but he frowned a pained smiled on his face. Though he loved Chris he was not his to cherish.
