Jayden was currently playing in his food at the dinner table with his family. It has been quiet since the three of them sat down and that was about ten minutes ago. He kept looking over at his mother who just shook her head. He wasn't even hungry but he couldn't bring himself to get up but soon the silence got to him and he excused himself. When he got to his room he sat on his bed, pulled out his phone and called Mike.

Mike was just getting finish eating dinner when his phone rang. "Hey."

"Oh my god dinner was so awkward." Jayden said.

Mike smiled and laid on his bed. "What do you mean?"

"No one talked, I mean it was dead silence." Jayden said. "I couldn't even eat my food so I left."

"Are you okay?" Mike asked.

"I just thought if I came back home it wouldn't be like this." Jayden said. "A part of me was hoping that everything would go back to normal." He looked toward his door and saw his dad standing there looking at him. He just stared at Jayden before walking away. Jayden got up and closed his door, locking it as well. "I think I should have stayed with Decker for a little while longer."

"Why?" Mike asked.

"Because my dad doesn't talk to me anymore." Jayden said. "And he was just standing in my doorway just staring at me, freaked me out."

"He won't do anything to you." Mike said.

"My dad hates anything gay." Jayden said laying down on his bed.

"He doesn't hate you Jay." Replied Mike. "He's just having a hard time dealing with all this, he's come around."

"Yeah like he did with Decker." Jayden said.

"It will get better Jayden." Mike said. "Things at home and with your dad is going to get better."

Jayden smiled. "You really think so?"

"I really do." Replied Mike.

Jayden sighed. "Can you stay up with me for a while and talk, I'm not tired."

"Yeah I'll stay up with you until we fall asleep." Mike said.

Jayden stayed on the phone with Mike until three in the morning.

Monday morning

Jayden was woken up by knocking on his door. "What?" He called out.

"You're going to be late for school." His mother called out.

Jayden groaned and got up to let his mother in. Going back to his bed he tried to get back under the covers but his mother stopped him. "Mom." He groaned.

"You're going to be late for school." She said. "Come on get up and I mean it. Don't make me get the bucket."

"Okay I'm up." Jayden said sitting back up. He rubbed his face and looked over at his mother. "Is dad here?"

"No he already left for work." She said.

"Good." Jayden got up and gathered his clothes. "I'm going to shower."

"Hey your breakfast is in the microwave." She said getting up. "I have to go so have a good day in school."

"Okay mom." After showering and eating breakfast he left for school. As soon as he got there he went looking for Mike. When he finally spotted him he went right over to him. "Hey Mikey."

"Hey." Mike turned only to meet Jayden's lips. He smiled. "It's good to see you too."

"I'm so glad to be out of the house." Jayden said leaning against the lockers. "My dad still acts like he doesn't want me around. You know before I came out we use to talk all the time. I just don't think our relationship will ever be the same."

Mike shrugged. "Well at least you still have your mom on your side and Decker."

Jayden smiled. "And my friends and you." He reached over and pulled Mike into a kiss. "I love you."

"Love you too." Mike replied.

"Awe get a room!" Antonio yelled walking pass them.

Jayden pulled away from Mike and looked down at Antonio who kept walking. "I'm going to get him for that."

Mike smiled. "You know if I didn't know any better I would have thought you and Antonio were brothers."

"Well he kind of is." Jayden said. "If I could count on anyone I knew I could count on him. He's always been there for me."

"Yeah he's a cool guy." Mike said closing his locker. "Come on I will walk you to class."

Jayden took Mike's hand and they walked off. Halfway to class they ran into Kevin.

"Hey Jayden, Mike." Said Kevin.

"What do you want?" Jayden snapped.

"Relax Jay I just wanted to say hey." Kevin said.

Jayden didn't say anything, they just walked off. "God even after all this time I still want to punch his face in every time I see him."

"Okay just relax." Mike said. "Try not and let him get to you."

"Every time I see him it gets to me." Jayden said leaning against the wall next to his classroom.

Mike was standing in front of him. "Just think of something to keep you calm, think of me." He leans forward and kisses Jayden. "I have to get to class but I will see you later."

"Bye." Jayden said watching him go. Turning around he went to his normal seat in the back of the classroom. He hated first period but only because Kevin was in there with him. So he tried to tune him out by thinking of Mike. It started out okay but Kevin just wouldn't go away. One thing led to another and he ended up getting in a fight with him.

...

Antonio had heard about the fight and went to the front office where he was. "You seriously got in a fight with him." He said sitting next to him in the office.

"He started it." Jayden said looking over at him. "I tried not to let it get to me but he just wouldn't stop running his mouth and I just snapped."

"I saw him the nurses office and you did a lot more then just snap on him." Antonio said.

Jayden groaned. "I'm probably going to be suspended. Do you think Mike will be upset when he finds out?"

"Naw I don't think he will be." Antonio said. "He knows about your anger problems and how you feel about Kevin."

"Yeah but I told him that I wasn't going to do anything?" Jayden said. His phone started ringing and he pulled it out. "It's Mike, should I answer it?"

"Of course you should answer it." Antonio asked.

Jayden was about to answer it but he was called in the office so he couldn't answer it.

After school

"I can't believe they suspended me for a week." Jayden said. "He barely even got hurt."

Mike shook his head. "I know I'm going to be bored here without you."

"So you're not mad at me?" Jayden asked looking down.

"No I'm not mad at you." Mike said. "I would have done the same thing if called me that, I just wish he would lay off." He pushed Jayden back against his car. "I love you."

Jayden smiled. "I love you too."

"Come on I will give you a ride home." Mike got into his car and waited for Jayden to get in before he drove off.
