Chapter 13-Jaden Comes Out of The Closet...Literally!
Summary: Well, that did it. Jaden has just literally come out of the closet, with Samson Hatton, a fit looking bloke who is in Ravenclaw and a sixth year. Unfortunately, I was not the only one who had seen this. Poor Jaden, outed in front of his entire family, minus the adults.
The Song used for this was Another Gay Sunshine Day by The Fabulous Nancy Sinatra
"Wait. Lina's marrying Matt Flint?" Jaden asked, as we walked to our Herbology lesson the next morning.
"Uh yep" I say, suddenly feeling sick. I turn down the hall and run to the nearest bathroom. I retched and spewed my brains out. Hearing gasps, as I wipe my mouth. I look up and realize that I am in a Boys bathroom. Fuck. Jared and a few boys from seventh year are staring at me. Including, Robbie. Again, fuck.
"Hey, are you okay?" Jared asked, surprising the hell out of me. He never talks to me. He doesn't even insult me anymore. Looking at him now, I see the subtle differences between Jaden and himself. Jared's hair was slightly darker and so were his eyes. He also didn't wear glasses and his clothes were loose and more boy-ish than Jaden's.
"Um...yeah. I guess breakfast didn't go over too well" I say as he takes my arm. "Er..what are you doing?" I ask, as he walks me out of the bathroom and down the opposite way of where I have to be.
"I'm taking you to the infirmary. Is that okay? Besides, Jaden'll kill me if I don't help you, Allisha" he says, tucking my hand into the crook of his arm. Weeeeeirrrrd. We're never this close, unless you count Quidditch practices and matches. Still, it's nice that he's not being a sodding git for once. "Why did you run into the Blokes loo anyway?" he asked, looking at me like I was some sort of weirdo.
"I was sick. I didn't see where I was going okay!" I said, angrily.
"Okay, I'm sorry. Don't pull a strop okay?" he says, patting my hand. "While I'm saying that, I also want to say I'm sorry for everything I've said and done to you since second year. No doubt Jaden has told you why I've done those things" he says, in a soft tone.
"It's fine. I'm totally over it Jared. Really, not a problem" I insist. Really not up to the whole becoming friends with my gay bestfriend's twin brother who may or may not have a crush on me. It's gotten extremely awkward as we walk in silence. I'm pretty sure I look green and sweaty. Urghh...I feel the urge to vomit again but, hold it as the Infirmary comes into view.
"Here we are. I'll get the new Matron. Come on" he says, leading me to a bed and making me sit down. He smiles then goes away for a second, leaving me to my thoughts. I don't even feel sick anymore. When Jared comes back, a tall and thin young woman enters the room. She's got Hogwarts Healer robes on, so I'm guessing she's the temp for Mrs. Wood. I recognize her immediately as Ella Ramsey. She graduated the year I got into Hogwarts. She sure did grow up. Her toffee colored hair was longer and more sleek and her turquoise eyes were kinder. Her silk-like olive toned skin was slightly darker.
"Oh hello Miss Malfoy, what can I do for you?" she asked, in her melodic voice.
"I brought her in because she was barfing her brains out in the blokes loo" Jared says, true to form. He could have put it in a more delicate way.
"Ah, well I guess we'll have to check you out Miss Malfoy. Mr. Weasley, if you would like to wait for her, please wait in the other room" she says, smiling at him. She really has grown up. I remember that she was a bit on the vain side when she was here. In Slytherin.
"Now Miss Malfoy, I want to ask. How long have you been with child?" she asks, stunning me into silence. How the fuck did she know?
"Eh..about a month" I answer, in a strangled sort of way.
"Ah. Do your parents know?" she asks, scribbling something on her clip board.
"No. The father of my baby doesn't know either" I murmur, hanging my head in shame.
"I see. Well, it is a confidential matter. So, I will give you time to tell whoever you're planning on telling before I notify Professor Longbottom. I would like to see you tomorrow for a scan, alright sweet pea?" she says, scribbling on the clip board once more.
"Okay and thank you" I say, getting up to get Jared so we could go.
He stood up as soon as I reached the place where he was sitting. "So what's the verdict?" he asked, as he took my hand and tucked it into the crook of his arm once more.
"Just a little tummy bug. I should be fine soon" I lie, not feeling any remorse. Yet.
"Well that's good news. Look, I know that I've been a twat for about three years now but, I'd like to make it up to you by asking you to go out with me on the next Hogsmeade trip. So how about it?" he says, stopping me dead in my tracks. AwwKwwaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrd.
"Uh…sorry Jared. I'm just in a really bad time in my life. I don't want to date anyone right now" I say to him, hoping that just because I turned him down, he won't go back to taking the mickey out of me. I mean, I couldn't very well tell him that I am pregnant with his cousin's baby and that we're still having a secret affair/relationship type thingy.
"Oh…well, I guess I can wait" he says, smiling at me. OH GOD WHY? This is just getting to be too much for me to handle. Why now? Why this year? I haven't even had time to study for my O.W.L.s.
"Please don't Jared. I don't want to hurt you but, I'm not into you like that. I'm sorry" I say, as we turn a corridor.
"Okay, so you hang out with my brother and you're not into me like that? Are you two dating or something?" he asks, slightly annoyed.
"No, Jaden doesn't see me that way and I don't see him that way. Trust me" I say to him as we are about to pass a broom closet. And that is when something I didn't think would happen. Happened.
"Jaden? Hatton?" Jared asked in astonishment. Suddenly Roxxy, Fred, James, Lily, Albus, Lucy, Molly, Alicia, Alice, Hugo, and Rose walked into this very same corridor. They all had the same exact expression of shock on their faces. Jaden looked nervous as did Samson, their robes were disheveled and Jaden had monstrous love-bites on his neck and chest.
Well, that did it. Jaden has just literally come out of the closet, with Samson Hatton, a fit looking bloke who is in Ravenclaw and a sixth year. Unfortunately, I was not the only one who had seen this. Poor Jaden, outed in front of his entire family, minus the adults. "Jaden! You're a poofter?! Oh Merlin! How could you?! Why didn't you tell me?!" Jared yelled, before stomping off. The rest of his family ran off after Jared and I stayed behind, sort of grimacing. My poor, poor Jaden.
"Oh no! Jared's going to tell Dad!" Jaden says, running after his family. Leaving me with his well, I don't know what Samson is to him. I turn to Samson, who is about two feet taller than me and study his features carefully. He had slightly tanned skin and his originally blonde hair was dyed a very bright cherry-red. His hazel eyes looked very nervous and preoccupied. He must be wondering about what I'm thinking right now. "You know I knew Jaden was a poof since September. And, you both have my blessing and all that. I trust you with him. Don't prove me wrong" I said, looking at him.
"Oh! Thank you Allisha! I was so scared, you know Jaden didn't tell me you knew" he said, in a very breathless voice.
"Must have slipped his mind. How long have you to been snogging in broom closets for anyway?" I asked, as we walked in the direction Jaden had run.
"Eh…about a little before Christmas hols" he said, a little nervously.
"Ah. Well, congrats. I wish you the best of luck. Especially if you care for my Jaden" I say, looking up at him.
"I do care for him. Deeply. You don't need to worry about him. I promise. All I want to do is make him happy" he says, in a completely serious voice. And, I know I can trust him.
---------------------------------------------------------
Okay, so the short and short of it is that Jared freaked out and used the fireplace to contact his Mum and dad. Apparently it wasn't that big a surprise and they accepted it rather quickly. The rest of the Weasleys and extended Weasley family took it a bit harder but after an hour long family meeting, they decided to accept him, poofter or not. The only one taking it a bit harshly is Jared but, I suppose he'll get over it sooner or later. Jaden didn't seem too worried and I am happy to say that he is far happier now than he'd been in a long time.
A/N: Okay, so it didn't go as planned but, I'm pretty satisfied with Jaden's coming out. I would again, like to thank those of you who care enough to review and those of you who are just reading my little slice of madness.
