A father's love
Chapter 4
To say people were shocked was a huge understatement. Anya was making her way over before they had kissed and seeing them kiss made her squeal. She ran the rest of the way to where Riley and Zane stood; Riley's arms still wrapped firmly around Zane, and threw her arms around the both of them.
"You finally did it, Riley. I am so proud of you. Ahh!" she screamed squeezing them tighter. Turning around she saw all the people staring with their mouths open. "What are you looking? Haven't you ever see two guys making out, keep walking." When the teenagers kept staring and didn't move, she groaned.
"Uhh… You guys are unbelievable. They've been gay all their lives and they are still the same people you knew ten minutes ago. Come on boys; let's go to your locker." And with that she grabbed a hold of each of their arms and started pulling the away.
Riley laughed. Leave it to Anya to make him feel better about all the staring. He shook off her arm and smiled at her. "Thanks, Anya. You have no idea how much your reaction means to me," he took a step towards Zane, wrapping an arm around his waist and hugging him to his side. He smiled down at the slightly smaller boy and continued, "To us."
Anya gave Riley a perplexed look and then realization light up her mind. "Oh, Riley. Don't worry about it. I was only being truthful. You knew I would take it well, why are you thanking me?"
Riley stepped away from Zane and enveloped Anya in his strong embrace. "Thank you. Seriously. You're the only other person who I know I can honestly trust besides my Dad and Zane." He stepped back and smiled at her.
"Come on boys. We don't want to be late do we?" she said smiling and walking off. Riley and Zane followed her, fingers linked together.
They were almost to their lockers when Riley heard something that made his blood boil, "Look at the faggots!" Riley turned and saw Owen standing surrounded by a group of other football players. Drew stood off to the side, staring back and forth between the two of them, uncertainly.
Riley clenched his hands into fists at his sides and gritted his teeth. Slowly he started counting backwards from ten in his head, never taking his eyes of Owen and his posse. Zane stepped beside him and placed a gentle, calming hand on his shoulder. Anya stepped up to his other side, not saying nor doing anything, just glaring at Owen.
"You need to calm down, Riley. Please. Listen to me. I love you, now calm down. He's not worth it. Baby, come on. Calm down," Zane whispered soothingly into Riley's ear. Riley felt the rest of his remaining anger instantly disappear with Zane's slow, calming words. It always worked on Riley, and he loved that Zane could help him.
Riley had calmed down by then and turned to start walking away when Owen decided to speak again. "Yeah, Riley. Listen to your bitch and leave like the little pussy you are." Zane's head whipped around and a look of pure hatred crossed over his features. But, he was better at controlling his anger and hid it well. Riley definitely wasn't going to pass this one up without a fight.
In no time flat, Riley was turned back again and right up in Owen's face. He was so pissed off he couldn't even explain it. Anger blazed in his eyes and for the first time Owen was truly afraid of Riley. Maybe it wasn't such a great idea to insult his boyfriend?
Riley's face was just inches from Owen's. He grabbed him by the shirt and banged him up against the locker, fists knotting up almost painfully into the front of his shirt. "DO NOT ever call Zane that again. Ever. Do you understand me?" he growled, spit practically flying from his mouth. Owen opened and closed his mouth, trying to form words, but, he was paralyzed by fear and couldn't even talk.
"Come on, Riley. Baby, let's go. He's not worth it. You'll just get in trouble. He just says those things to make himself feel better about his pathetic existence," Zane said grabbing Riley's arm and trying to pull him off. Riley just shook him off and glared into Owen's eyes. He took a deep calming breath which helped some.
He lifted his fist and punched the locker just centimeters away from Owen's face. Owen flinched and closed his eyes. When he didn't feel any pain he slowly opened one eye to see a still pissed off Riley, but he looked a little calmer. "I swear to god if you ever say that again, I will kill you. No one fucking gets away with insulting Zane, especially when it happens right he front of me." He released the hold he still had on him and stepped back. Looking at the spot he had punched, he noticed a highly noticeable dent in the metal door. Oh well, he couldn't take it back now.
Anya smirked at Owen as she started walking away. Riley took a deep breath and smiled over at Zane. He lifted up a hand to Zane and Zane intertwined his fingers with the Riley's. The football players were all hiding smirks as Owen stood they're shaking. He really should have known better. Just because Riley came out, doesn't mean that he had suddenly became week. Though they didn't approve of Riley's choice, they did understand he couldn't help it. It was Owen that had the real problem.
Owen was seething as he watched Riley walk away with that faggot. And they were laughing, no doubt at him. That should be him. Owen should be the one laughing with Riley, not Zane. Riley would pay for what he did. He wanted Riley to hurt in the worst possible way. And he knew just the way. What better way to hurt the quarter back, then to hurt the one he loves most? 'You better watch your back Zane,' he thought as he walked away laughing.
I know it sucks, but I promise next chapter will be better. I swear on the river Styx. There, now you know I can't lie. Love you guys, REVIEW FOR ME!
