Sorry for the delay, I had to rewrite this chapter at least twice because I didn't like how it turned out, but I finally got it right.

Big Time Surprises

Chapter 5

James POV

It had been a week since Carlos and I had started dating. Things couldn't have been better. We had told Mrs. Knight, and she was completely fine with it so wasn't Gustavo. But there was two more people who we hadn't told yet. Rachael and Stephenie, our girlfriends. Carlos seemed to be fine with telling Stephenie, but I wasn't so sure about Rachael. But I sucked it up and went for it. She was sitting at a lounge chair next to the pool reading a script. I was never good at breaking up with people, nevertheless the reason being me being gay and being in love with my best friend.

"Hey Rach." I said.

"Hey James." She said, putting down her script, "What's up?"

"Not much." I said, sitting down next to her on the lounge chair.

"You seem sad." She said, "What's wrong?"

"Um…nothing."

"I know you better than that James. What's wrong?" Rachael was right, she did know me better than that.

"Rachael, I have to tell you something, but I don't want you to get mad."

"I won't get mad, what is it?" She asked.

"Rachael," I took a deep breath, "I think we should see other people."

"Was it something I said, something I did?" Rachael asked.

"No." I responded.

"Then why are you breaking up with me?" Rachael asked. I really didn't want to say it, but we were the only ones at the pool, so it wasn't that big of a deal.

"I'm gay." I said, glad to have it off my chest, "And I'm in love with Carlos, we've been dating for a week now."

What Rachael did next surprised me.

She hugged me.

"All that I care about is that you're happy James." She said, "You are happy right?"

"Yeah, I'm happy, but I don't want you to be unhappy."

"Thank you for thinking if me, but if your happy, than I'm happy." Rachael said, she kissed my cheek and got up, "Goodbye James." She said as she walked away.

I couldn't wait to tell Carlos how well it went. When I got up to apartment 2J, Carlos was sitting at the dinner table.

"How did it go?" I asked Carlos.

"Pretty good." Carlos said, pulling me into a tight hug.

"What's that on your face?" I asked, a red hand mark was clearly visible on his always tan skin.

"Oh that, well after I told Stephenie everything I ran into Camille in the elevator, she asked me where Logan was, I said I didn't know, so she slapped me." Carlos said.

"Oh my god, are you ok?" I said.

"It's Camille, what did you expect?" Carlos said, a smile spread across his face.

"Yeah, your right." I said, Carlos was right, on a perfectly good day Logan gets slapped at least twice.

"How did it go with Rachael?" Carlos asked.

"It went pretty well." I said.

"Really?" Carlos asked.

"Yeah, I told her that I was gay, and that me and you were dating."

"What did she say?"

"She said if I'm happy than she's happy." I said.

"I'm so happy that this all worked out." Carlos said, enthusiastic as always.

"Me too." I said, pulling him into a tight hug.
