Chapter 5
After Will had come out to Gabi, he stayed at Chad's for the night. They talked for hours and hours about how he would tell his family. His mom would be back from her honeymoon tomorrow, so he wanted to tell her then…
The next day, Will arranged to meet his mum at the coffee house, plus Chad would be there if he needed anything… He got dressed and looked at himself in the mirror… ''You can do this… just tell her the truth..'' He said quietly to himself before heading out of the door…
Will then walked to CG. He was running about 20 minutes late, so when he arrived his mom was already there
''Hey mom!'' Will said as he walked over and gave her a hug.
''Hey sweetie! I missed you!'' Sami said as she sat down with Will..
''I missed you too! How was your honeymoon? Did you and EJ have a good time?''
''Yes we did! It was amazing! But I'm glad to be back!'' She smiled.. ''So what was it you wanted to talk to me about, you said it was important on the phone.. is everything ok?''
Will took a deep breath and answered… ''Me and Gabi aren't together anymore… we broke up…''
''Oh sweetie I'm so sorry, I mean, I knew you guys we're having problems but… I'm sorry…'' She said as she comforted Will with a hug
''Don't worry about it, but… there was a reason we broke up…''
''What's the reason?''
Will then felt a sudden fear come over him. It was different to what he had felt with Gabi… This was his mom… and he was about to tell her the biggest secret of his life.. ''Mom… I'm gay…''
Will took a sigh of relief from holding that in for so long… He was then surprised by his mom's reaction.. ''Oh honey.. I know…''
''Wait? You know?'' Will asked confusingly..
'' Sweetie I've always knew… I saw the way you looked at Gabi, you looked at her like a friend... and I remember the way you looked at guys... like that boy from when we went on vacation, you liked him I saw it in your eyes… and when I found out Gabi was pregnant with Ari, I knew something was wrong… but I had to be ok with it, I love that little girl...''
Will didn't even care if his mom already knew, he was just glad she was ok with it..
He then began to wipe the tears from his face before asking..''Mom… do you still love me?''
''Will are you being serious? Of course I love you stupid... come here'' She then pulled Will in for another loving hug… ''I will always love you Will… no matter what ok?''
''Thanks mom... it means the world to me that you care…''
''I will always care…'' She said as she stroked her son's head… ''So except Gabi… does anybody else know?''
''Chad knows… he's known for a while… since last year to be exact…. It was the night Ari was conceived...''
Flashback… 22nd August 2012…
Will was celebrating his best friend's birthday in Horton Town Square. Him and Chad had invited a few friends, and after a while a few friends turned into hundreds of strangers they didn't know…
''Will… I'm getting pretty tired I'm gonna go home and get some rest ok'' Gabi said before heading off..
Chad then saw Gabi leave, and came over to talk to Will… ''Hey.. you look like you're having a rough time…''
''Yea kind of, my girlfriend just left, and I kinda wanted to break things off tonight..''
Chad looked shocked ''God… I'm sorry man…''
''Yea... I didn't really wanna start dating in the first place, it just happened so fast and I don't feel that way…'' Will then blushed and turned away…
''Will what are you talking about? You don't feel that way about what?''
''I-…. I'm sorry I can't talk about this now I need some time alone…''
Will then rushed off in a hurry, until he reached a place in town where there was no people… the party music and cheers of people were heard from only a short distance…. But it was good enough for Will right now….
Just then, a gloomy figure walked from the darkness… it was another guy…
Will was startled and he jumped, but the guy smiled and seemed friendly, he had a red plastic cup, the same ones from the party…
''Hi… are you ok man?'' The guy asked with a smile
Will smiled back… ''Yeah I'm fine… I just needed some air. It's pretty crowded up there… I'm Will by the way…''
''I'm Neil'' The guy said as he shook Will's hand…
There was an awkward silence for a few seconds, but Will thought he'd break it…''Thanks for talking to me… I've been kind of lonely tonight…''
''Don't worry about it man, I needed to get away from the crowd too, it gets too much for me sometimes… reminds me that I'm getting old'' They both laughed…
''Yeah...'' Will replied as his heart began to beat faster…
This guy was really hot… But why was he feeling this way?
Will's heart then began beating so hard that it felt like it was going to fall out of his chest… he then began blushing like crazy as Neil leaned in closer… and to Will's surprise, he leaned in closer too…
Will mumbled before grabbing the man almost violently by his t-shirt and passionately kissing him… he let out all of his feelings in that one kiss before finally, a few minutes later pulling away…
His lips swollen so much that he could hardly speak… ''I'm sorry… I have to go…'' Will cried before darting around the corner, and running to Gabi's apartment…
He wiped his tears away before knocking on the door… Gabi then answered…
''Hey Will what's wrong? You're back early..'' Gabi just about finished her sentence before Will kissed her… Not like he did with Neil a few minutes ago, his and Gabi's kiss meant nothing… he didn't feel anything…. his heart didn't beat faster…
That night they slept together…. even though Will thought it was a mistake, it wasn't…. if it wasn't for that night, his baby girl wouldn't have been born…''
Will then came back to his senses… his mom looked and smiled… ''Will… I'm glad you told me that…. So you've never felt that way since you kissed that guy?'' Sami asked…
''Actually, I went on a short trip last week and… I met a guy… he made me feel even better than I felt with Neil… I'd never felt that way before… he made me see stars mom… and I'll never get to see him again…''
