"Are you going to tell me what's going on?" Jayden asked.

"Just forget about it." Decker said sitting on the bed.

"No." Jayden said. "Something happened with dad and I want to know what or you're not going anywhere until you tell me."

Decker sighed and laid down on the bed. "Fine if you want to know so bad I'll tell you."

Four months ago

Decker was walking down the streets one night. Two day ago he came out to his Uncle. Both his parents were dead a few years ago and he was living with his Uncle. Being an only child he always felt along but when Jaydens family took him in everything felt right. As time went on they only got closer but when he came out to his uncle everything changed and just like that he was out of their lives. As he rounded the corner to his street he was grabbed from behind and thrown to the ground. He covered up as much as he could to shield himself from the kicks and punches that were thrown at him. He couldn't see who was attacking him but he could hear their voices clear as day and one voice in particular soot out, it was his Uncle. Suddenly two bright lights can into view and his attackers fled. Someone helped him up and into their car.

"Are you okay?" The man asked.

"I'm fine." Decker said.

"My name is Brian." He said. "Do you need to go to the hospital or something?"

"No." Decker said. "I only live a few blocks away. Thanks but you can just take me home."

After helping Decker up to his house he continued to do just that. Who knew that the two of them would later become closer than ever.

Present

"Wait are you sure that it was really him?" Jayden asked.

Decker nodded. "I know that because the next day I confronted him about it and he flat out told me. He told me that I should do the world a favor and kill myself. I was actually thinking about doing it but Brian was always there for me. He helped me through everything and become the most important person in my life. After that I realized that all I needed was him and if it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't be here now. I owe Brian my life." He said.

"I don't know what to say." Jayden said.

Decker sat up. "You don't have to say anything. He's your father and I understand if you want to go back with him but don't expect me too."

Jayden nodded. "So you wouldn't hate me if I went back home?"

Decker smiled. "No I won't hate you, you're going to stay in touch though right?"

"Of course." Jayden said. "I just hate what happened to you."

"Don't be." Decker said. "You have a family who loves you and that's hard to find these days. If I were you I would do the same thing."

"Okay but I don't have to leave now." Jayden said. "That way we can spent more time together."

"Great." Decker said getting up. "But do me a favor and don't tell Brian about this. He doesn't know that it was your dad and his friends who attacked me."

"I won't." Jayden said.

They headed back into the living room where the others were and spent the rest of the night together.

…...

That night Jayden was parked in Mike's driveway.

"So you're really moving back home?" Mike asked.

"Yeah" Jayden said. "I'm a little nervous though. I just hope that he doesn't go back on his word and lock me up or worse, keep me from seeing you."

Mike smiled. "I'm sure everything will be okay." He leans over and kisses Jayden. "I better go."

"I love you." Jayden said without thinking. He watched as Mike stopped and turned to face him again. "Sorry I shouldn't have said-"

He was cut off but Mike's lip's on his own. "I love you too." He whispered against Jayden's lips. "Bye." He said getting out of the car before Jayden could say anything else.

Jayden sat there for awhile just trying to wrap his head around what Mike just said. Deep down he knew that Mike loved him but hearing it out loud he almost felt like it was all a dream. A dream he wished he'd never wake up from.

…...

Brian and Decker were lying under the covers in their bed. Decker was lying on Brian's chest with his arm around his waist.

"What's going on with you?" Brian asked.

"Nothing." Decker said. "I'm just so glad that you came into my life when you did. I honestly don't think I would be here without you."

Brian frowned. "Seriously Decker what's going on?"

Decker looked up at Brian. "It's not important Brian but you are and you always will be, I love you so much."

Brian kissed Decker on the head. "I love you too."

…...

When Jayden got back to Decker's house it was quiet and dark so he just went to the guest room. As he packed his clothes he thought back on everything that has happened this month. It was the worst and best month of his life and he was glad all the drama was over. His relationship with Mike was back on track, so was the one with his cousin. He had his friends and now his family bacon and he couldn't ask for more. Once he was done he showered and fell asleep.

…...

Saturday morning

Decker was in the kitchen making breakfast when Jayden walked in. "Morning Jay."

"Morning." Jayden said.

"So are you all packed up?" Decker asked.

Jayden nodded. "Yeah but I'm not leaving until later on. Are you sure you're going to be okay without me?"

Decker smiled. "Yeah I mean it's not like we're saying goodbye forever. You can come over whenever you like."

Jayden sighed and looked down. "Are you seriously not going to say anything to him?"

"I don't have anything to say." Decker said. "I don't trust him anymore."

"Well can you blame me for trying." Jayden said. "I just want everyone to be happy." He grabbed a piece of bacon from the plate in front of him. "So what do you guys have planned for today?"

"Well once I'm done here I'm going to go wake up Brian." Decker said. "Then get ready for work. You can leave when we leave or stay but just make sure that you lock up."

Jayden nodded then smiled. "Last night Mike told me that he loved me. I was so happy that I just sat there smiling."

"Don't mess it up this time." Decker said. "Mike is something special and I think he's good for you."

"I think he's good for me too." Jayden said. "I'm so glad that he gave me another chance and you don''t have to worry about anything because this time I'm not going to screw things up and I'm not letting him go."

…...

An hour later Jayden found himself alone at his cousins house. He was sitting on the couch watching TV when the phone rang, he answered it. "Hello?"

"What are you doing?" Mike asked.

"About to head home." Jayden said. "What's going on with you?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me." Mike said. "Since we don't have anything else to do."

"I'd love too." Jayden said. "Once I get my stuff home I'll be right over."

"Alright, see you soon." Mike said hanging up the phone. He sat up on his bed and slipped on his bedroom shoes before heading downstairs. He couldn't wait for Jayden to get there.
