"You did what?"
He had told his mother everything, only saying the he and Ethan had had sex, not going into detail. She was surprised by the cheating, not the…gayness.
"So, I guess that means you're going to be home a lot more?"
"Mom, your making me more depressed." He dropped his head onto the dash, and moaned, and moaned, and moaned.
They pulled up to the hotel and Cody got out and slowly walked into the building. He didn't even glance up when London tried to ask him what was wrong. He got on the elevator, not even trying to keep it open when his mother yelled for him to. He walked into the suite and sat next to his twin brother Zack who was playing video games.
"Hey, thought you would be at Vanessa's?" Zack was too focused on his game to notice Cody's miserable appearance.
"I think we broke up."
That when he stopped and sat down his controller. He turned to Cody. "What did you do?"
Cody immediately got defensive, "What makes you think it was my fault?"
Zack raised an eyebrow, "Was it?"
Cody lowered his eyes and stood up. He walked to the kitchen and grabbed a coke out of the fridge.
"So what did you do?"
Cody paused, "I cheated on her."
"You are so fucking stupid. Who was it with?"
"Ethan." Cody said his name reluctantly.
There was a pause and he turned around. Zach was looking at him with him mouth open and eyes wide. "Ethan? You cheated on Vanessa with her brother? That is so…"
"Shut-up, Zack, its bad enough I lost Vanessa. Do you really think I need you sitting here, telling me something I already know?" He didn't give Zack a chance to say anything else. He walked to his room and as he closed the door he saw Zack walking out the front door.
The next day he begged his mom to let him stay home, but she denied him the luxury. He walked into school. No one was pointing or whispering when he walked pass them so he figured neither Zack nor Vanessa had told anyone.
He opened his locker to take out books for first hour. There was a tapping on the other side and he closed the locker. Vanessa was standing on the other side.
"Hey Cody."
"Vanessa?"
"Why?"
Cody sighed and leaned against his back against his locker. "I have no idea how it really started. I didn't even k now I liked guys; still don't know. I never meant for it to happen and I wish I could take it back. You know I love you. It was such a huge mistake and I wish I could take-"
He was stopped by her kissing him. She pulled away, smiling. "Shut-up."
"So you forgive me?" It was too good to be sure and he was scared she would start laughing at him and call him a loser faggot or some shit like that.
"Just don't ever talk about it or even do it again."
"I promise baby, I swear." He hugged her and swung her around. A teacher walked by and told them no PDA. They laughed and walked to class together. They kissed once more, long and passionate. He grabbed her close not wanting to let go.
"I- I love you." He whispered for the first time.
She smiled at him and walked into the class. He followed suit.
