first things first i apologise for taking so long to update, second i feel very silly, cause this chapter which i wrote before me exams was also supposed to go up before my exams, but i umm, well i forgot, silly me so for you i have this fairly long chapter which more or less puts us back at the beggining of this story before i went all flashback on everyone, rambling done, please enjoy
Ty was slowly moving through the school corridors he could see who he was looking for Deuce was standing by his locker, by the looks of things he was trying to hide as much as he could in his locker, just in case the teachers made him empty his pockets again, two weeks worth of detention is harsh, sneaking up behind him Ty slipped his hands around Deuce's waist and whispered in his ear
"hey there"
Deuce relaxed into Ty's arms for about two seconds before turning around
"Ty come on people might see"
most people were at lunch but there were a few stragglers here and there
"alright, can we find somewhere more private then, it's kinda hard to concentrate when i know you're so close"
Deuce rolled his eyes, Ty really was incorrigible
"come on, just be patient, i know you're not that fussed if people find out, but i'm not ready yet"
Ty nodded his head in understanding
"yeah OK, besides i know you're worth the wait, how about lunch instead"
grabbing his lunch they headed off to the lunch hall, unfortunately neither of them noticed someone lurking in the shadows, spying on both of them
"hey little sister, CeCe whats up"
they all grabbed seats and Ty watched as his sister swapped most of her lunch with her friend
"do you guys ever eat the meals your mums make you"
they all looked at each other for a second before laughing at Deuce's question, after the laughing subsided CeCe leaned close to Deuce
"so, hows things with you two"
both her and Rocky were staring at Ty and Deuce intently
"things are good little sister"
CeCe and Rocky let loose a high pitched squeal of delight before returning to staring
"i don't think either of us is gonna get much peace for lunch, come on we've got a class to get to soon anyway"
Deuce grabbed the remains of his lunch and Ty and the two of them escaped the lunch room
"alright i gotta go Deuce i'll see you after school okay"
Deuce watched Ty disappear down the hall before he could get to his class he was stopped in his tracks by stephanie
"hey Deuce" she stepped into Deuce's space "i feel like going out this weekend and you're coming with me"
she snaked her hands up and around his neck
"look stephanie i'm flattered and all but i'd rather not"
her smile didn't falter but she took on a more sinister appearance
"oh you're coming with me, see my boyfriend dumped me and i need someone to help me make him jealous, and most people are too scared to go up against him"
Deuce had seen Stephanies ex before dude was built like a mountain
"yeah that includes me, look i don't know why you think i'd do this, i'm out"
Deuce escaped her clutches and turned to walk to his next class
"it was kinda interesting, watching you and Ty in the hall earlier" her words cut through the empty corridor and stopped Deuce in his tracks "i wouldn't have believed it myself if i hadn't taken the picture that proves it, imagine what the school would say, imagine what your parents might think"
her voice was sweet and light but her eyes proved she was serious
"look just back off alright, you're messing with stuff that isn't yours to mess with"
Deuce tried to sound confident, but she was holding all the cards
"no i won't. you're coming with me to the Olive Pit on a date tonight, i'll make sure Brian is there you just turn up"
she walked away a victorious smile on her face, Deuce just glared after her. later after school Ty dropped by Deuce's place hoping to steal him away to somewhere more private
"hey Deuce whats up, and why are you looking so fancy"
Deuce looked like his mum had dressed him and his dad had him pinned at his side
"my Deuce is going on a date, now Deuce remember you gotta be a gentleman for this girl alright, they won't admit it but they love a little old fashioned chivalry"
Ty had been grinning from ear to ear until he heard Mr Martinez mentioned the word girl
"alright pops thanks, i gotta go alright or i'm gonna be late"
without looking at Ty he walked out of the door, Ty hot on his heels
"deuce, hey deuce wait"
Deuce refused to stop so Ty grabbed him and held him in place
"not now Ty"
Deuce tried to break free but Ty wouldn't let him
"no chance man, not until you tell me what's going on, why the hell are you going on a date with a girl, i thought me and you were..."
his voice trailed off and he could keep the hurt tone out of it
"stephanie, she saw us in the hall, if i don't go on this date with her, she'll show the photo to my parents"
a brief flicker of hope appeared on Ty's face
"dude that chick is evil through and through, she's just playing with you man, let her tell your parents, maybe they won't react the way you expect"
finally escaping Ty's grip Deuce turned to walk away
"i can't man, it's not worth it just to avoid one date with her"
he realised his words a moment too late
"alright man i get it, well if you ever decide i am worth it, i'll be waiting with a punch to the face and a big i told you so"
with that Ty turned on his heels, deuce had seen the tears in his friends eyes, turning away himself he walked to the Olive Pit, once he got there he found stephanie surrounded by her friends, and her ex, they were all laughing
"hey stephanie"
his voice lacked it's usual confidence
"aww silly little Deuce, all dressed up just to get played"
he felt blood rush to his face, partly cause he was embarassed, mostly cause he was angry
"i'm outta here"
before he could leave he felt a strong hand on his shoulder
"what's the rush, we're only just beginning to have fun, you should have brought that freak Ty as well"
what was left of his self control snapped and he brought his elbow up into Brian's nose, before they could react he stormed out of the restaurant, he didn't care if his parents saw that photo anymore, all he could think of was how hurt Ty looked, he would have to find him at school tomorrow, he knew CeCe and Rocky, they would never let him near Ty if they could. turning for home, before he got there he saw a car parked outside, his heart stopped when he realised who it belonged to, bursting through his front door Deuce found stephanie talking to his parents, his fathers face was filled with anger
"Deuce what is the meaning of this, first this beautiful young woman tells me you ran out on her in the middle of your date, then she shows me this"
Stephanies phone was in her hand, he thought of so many words he wanted to say to her, but none of them where important
"Dad i'm gay, the only reason i went on a date with that pampered stuck-up bitch is to stop her showing you that photo"
his fathers face turned red faster than Deuce believed possible
"i want you out of my house, you disrespect me and you disrespect you whole family, now get out"
deuce turned from his father to his mother, she was staring at the floor avoiding his eyes
"fine"
with that one word he ran out of the house, into the streets, he could feel tears welling in his eyes but he didn't care, he stopped thinking for a while, when he stopped running he realised he had run to his favorite place in the city, collapsing on the steps to Ty's building he let his tears fall
"for crying out loud Deuce, stop crying out loud"
he hadn't even noticed Flynn sitting on the steps behind him
"what if i feel like crying little man"
Flynn climbed down the steps to sit next to Deuce
"my sister says your a jerk and that i shouldn't talk to you, but she didn't tell me why"
his face was full of child like curiosity
"i was stupid and i made Ty cry, and now everyone hates me, even my mum and dad"
his father had been so angry with him
"well if you made him cry you should say sorry"
Flynn seemed so certain that he had hit the right answer
"i doubt his sister will let me see him, i'll have to try and find him at school tomorrow"
Flynn nodded his head before standing up and pulling Deuce to his feet
"well come on then, you can stay with me until tomorrow"
Deuce's face lit up with surprise
"i don't think your mum or your sis..."
Flynn held up a hand to silence Deuce
"you let me worry about them, come on"
CeCe had been pretty against Deuce staying, but her mum had been sympathetic and allowed Deuce to stay on the sofa, it didn't feel like he had been asleep for very long when he was woken by an angry Rocky
"you jerk"
he hid behind his hands trying to avoid her slap
"Rocky please i know i'm a jerk, i want to say sorry to him, please"
something in his voice stopped her assault
"he's probably already at school"
she still wanted to hit Deuce, but she had known him long enough to know that he wouldn't hurt her brother on purpose
"thankyou"
he turned and ran from the apartment, for the first time in his life he wanted to get to school quickly, but once he got there he found absolutely no sign of Ty, stopping at his friends locker he decided he would wait there all day, Ty had to come back to it eventually
"aww poor little deuce, too stupid to see whats right in front of him"
