Chapter 24
"I'm sorry but Chris isn't home at the moment." Mike nodded frowning as he was turned away again. Chris had been avoiding him for 3 days now. He had ignored his calls and didn't reply to any of his texts. Why did Chris say all of those things to him? What happened? Mike refused to give up not after everything they went through! He was going to fight!
Chris sighed looking at the un-replied text messages from Mike. He put his phone away looking up to see Ashley enter the room with drinks.
"You ok?" Ashely asked frowning handing him the cup.
"Y-yeah." Chris replied with a smile taking the cup. Ashley sat down on the bed next to him.
"Do you want to talk about it?" She asked looking over at him. Chris looked at the cup.
"I really thought… we were going to be happy…." He spoke.
"But the parents don't approve, I can't fight that." Chris smiled in pain. Ashley placed a hand on his shoulder trying to comfort him.
"I should have given up…" He curled his lips in fighting the tears back.
"Chris…" Ashley spoke. Chris raised his head to look up at Ashley. He froze as she pressed her lips to his. Chris sat still, she pulled away looking at him her cheeks were red.
"Let me comfort you…" She spoke as she grabbed her shirt. Chris stopped her before she could remove her top.
"Stop." Chris spoke.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"I-I can't do this." Chris informed.
"You can." Ashley replied with a smile as she reached over to unbuckle his pants for him.
"Ash!" Chris protested grabbing her hands stopping her once more.
"Chris, you can't be with her! So choose me!" She yelled. Chris sat looking at her.
"I've always liked you…" She confessed as she rested her head on his chest. Chris swallowed hard as he looked down at Ashley as she sobbed quietly in his arms.
"Ashley, I can't…." Chris replied.
"Why?" She asked pulling away looking up at him. Chris blushed looking away as he paused a moment.
"I'm in love with Mike…" He finally confessed. Ashley sat still a moment taking in the new bit of information.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have come here…" Chris apologized as he got up leaving.
Mike entered his apartment setting his keys down on the table he walked over to his couch falling down on it. He stared up at his ceiling fan. He closed his eyes rubbing his face. The knock on his door made him look back. He sat up a smile on his face as he walked to his door. He unlocked his door pulling it open his smile fading away to see his father.
"Michael." He spoke. Mike lowered his head holding his arm out.
"Come in." He spoke. His father walked passed him. Mike closed the door behind him.
"You're not going to school because of a man?" He asked, Mike closed his eyes making a face. This was coming sooner or later. He was a bit surprised to find out his mother hadn't told his father about Chris.
"It's not like that." Mike answered.
"Then?" He asked. Mike sighed looking up at his father.
"I love him." Mike confessed shrugging his shoulders. That was all he could say.
"I've always wanted what was best for you Michael…" His dad spoke Mike closed his eyes. He must be disappointed his only son.
"If being with this man makes you happy then who am I to take that away from you?" He asked Mike looked up at his dad wide eye.
"Dad…?" His father smiled.
"Everyone deserve to be happy it doesn't matter where that happiness comes from." Mike smiled happy to hear his father was accepting him.
"Thank you." Mike sniffed his dad walked to him wrapping his arms around him.
"I'll deal with your mother." His father spoke as he hugged his son.
