Two weeks has pasted since John and Randy had kissed. In those two weeks Randy's team lost both their games and had to drills all day so he wasn't in good mood and to top it all off his coach was starting to get on his nerve because he was always on his case about something. Today was Sunday and Randy was alone in the woods. Even though his legs were killing him he kept walking. He stopped when he heard a twig snap. "Who's there?" He said.
John walked from behind a big tree. "Hey Randy."
Randy sighed and walked off. "What do you want John?"
John ran up behind him "I was worried about you?"
"Yeah well I don't need you." Randy snapped at him.
"What's wrong with you? Maybe I can help you." John said grabbing his arm.
Randy pushed him away. "I don't need your help John just do me a favor and leave me alone." He turned and walked away.
John sighed and followed him and after a while he started to notice that it was getting dark. "Randy maybe we should head back it's getting dark."
"Then you go." Randy said still walking.
John stopped and looked around. "Where are we?"
Randy stopped and looked around the unfamiliar area. "I don't know."
John looked at him "What do you mean you don't know?"
"I wasn't looking where I was going I just wanted to be alone." Randy looked down. "What do you want John and why are you following me?"
John sighed "Ever since we kissed you've been avoiding me. I know that it was weird but do you have to ignore me?"
"It's not just about that it's everything. Coach Austin has it in for me, I suck at football now and tomorrow our family is coming." Randy leaned against a tree.
John walked up to him "That's good though because now you'll get to see your boyfriend Ted."
Randy looked at John "And your boyfriend Paul, right?"
John nodded "Yeah, and we don't have to tell them about the kiss."
Randy just stood there and stuck his hands in his jeans. "John just leave me alone."
John took Randy's hand "I'm not going to leave you out here all alone."
"Why?" Randy asked.
John shrugged "Because I care about you and I don't want you to get hurt so will you please help me find our way back to camp before we get in trouble for missing the curfew meeting."
Randy looked down at their hands and sighed. He really didn't want to go back but his legs were killing him and he hadn't eaten anything all day so he was very tired. He slid down onto the ground "I'll just stay here. My legs are killing me and I don't think walking around all night will help."
John looked down at him "Then I'll carry you."
"What?"
John knelt down "I said I'll carry you."
Randy just stared at him. "Are you serious?"
John nodded "I know you're tired because even though today was suppose to be our day off Coach Austin had you doing drills with him and I didn't see you in lunch and when I didn't see you at dinner I started to get worried. After coach let you go I followed you into the woods but lost which way I was going." He placed a hand under Randy's legs and the other around his neck, with no problem he picked him up.
Randy stared into John's eyes. Their faces inches apart from each other. Randy looked away and John walked off. Ten minutes later they were still walking. John was still carrying Randy against his chest. "It's getting darker and it feels like were walking in circles."
Randy sighed "Put me down." He got down and looked around. "Hello!" He yelled out.
John placed his hands on his hips. "I don't think anyone can hear us."
Randy sat on the ground "Man I'm so hungry."
John sat next to him. "So are you going to tell me why you're avoiding me?"
Randy sighed "Because that kiss was so freaking hot, I can't stop thinking about it and I can't stop thinking about you." He covered his face with his hands. "What the hell is wrong with me?"
John looked down "Nothing, because I can't stop thinking about that kiss or you either."
Randy removed his hands and looked at John. He couldn't help himself and he leaned forward. His lips touched John's and nothing else mattered. He didn't care about being lost in the forest a night because John was there. He pulled back and rested his head on John's shoulder. Soon he drifted off to sleep. John watched him until he fell to sleep himself.
The next thing John knew he was on the ground. He jumped up and saw Randy staring into the woods. "What is it?"
"Shhh I heard something." Randy said.
John sighed "It was probably just-" He was cut off by ruffle of bushes and jumped up. "Get behind me Randy."
Randy gets behind John and they stood there waiting for something to attack.
"John! Randy!" A voice called out.
John looked back at Randy. "Coach!" He yelled back. They he saw a flash light and they both walked to it. "Coach Austin is that you."
Coach Austin turned off the light. "Where have you two been? Do you know that you missed the curfew meeting and had everyone worried about you?"
"I'm sorry coach but I followed Randy into the woods and lost track of where I was." John said.
Coach sighed "Well all that matters is that you're both okay." He looked at Randy who was looking at his feet. "Randy are you okay?"
Randy nodded "Yes sir."
"No he's not he hasn't ate anything all day." John said.
Coach Austin nodded "Well come on lets go."
They all walked back to the camp site. Coach Austin told John to get cleaned up and go to his cabin while he had a word with Randy.
Randy sat in a chair in Coach Austin's office. He looked down at his hands that were folded in his hand. A plate of food was placed in front of him but he didn't touch it.
"Randy you need to eat something I know that you're hungry." Coach Austin said.
Randy looked at him then at the food. Without a word he alt all the food in less than five minutes. "Thanks' coach."
"So are you going to tell me what's going on with you?" Coach Austin asked.
Randy sighed "I don't really feel comfortable talking about it with another man. Is there someone else I can talk to?"
Coach nodded "Well my wife is coming tomorrow and I can get her to talk to you. Would that be okay?"
Randy nodded "Yeah that's good but can I ask you something?" He nodded "Why are you being so hard on me? Today was suppose to be a relax day but I was the only one doing drills. Why me I mean do I suck that bad?"
"Randy you're a great player and I'm only doing this because I know that you're not doing what I know you're capable of. You're a great player but you continue to hold back. Don't hold back Randy. This camp is for you to do what you love and show what you've got and I've seen you play back home. You have so much more talent then you know. You just have to believe in yourself Randy because it will never happen if you don't. Do you understand?" Randy nodded "Okay then tomorrow is family day so you don't have to practice. Just have fun with your family and friends but if you need to talk I'll be here."
Randy smiled "Thanks coach."
John just got out of the showers and he was putting on his clothes in his cabin. He looked up when the door opened. "Hey Randy."
Randy smiled and took in the sight of John being in just his boxers. "Hey John."
John walked over to him. "I need to talk to you."
Randy nodded and sat on his bed as John sat across from him. "Is everything okay?"
John shook his head "This can't happen Randy. I have a boyfriend and I don't want to lose him. I really care about you but I can't."
"But I thought that you want to. I know that you wanted to." Randy shrieked "Why are you doing this?"
"Because, I have a boyfriend just like you." John sighed "I'm sorry Randy but this can't happen again.
Randy sat there with tears in his eyes. "Then why did you lead me on? Why did you give me a chance to be with you? Why did you make me feel this way about you?"
"Randy I'm sorry." John said.
Randy got out his pj's, a fresh pair of boxers, towel, and soap and got up. "Whatever" He left the cabin. Once he was outside he let it all out as he went to the showers.
John just sat there for some reason he started to feel like he had made a mistake by telling Randy all those things. Knowing that he didn't really mean any of it. He loved Paul but he deeply cared for Randy. Tomorrow Paul was coming so he had to put it all out of his mind. He got under his covers and tried to go to sleep.
Randy stood underneath the ice cold water. Tears were still falling from his face as he shivered under the water. How could John do this? Make him feel like he was in heaven then denying he's wants to be with him. He really cared for John and he just wished that John felt for him. Suddenly the water stopped and a towel was placed around him. He turned to see Dolph. "What are you doing here?"
Dolph sighed "I heard what happened with John and I came to see if you were okay. Then I felt the cold water." He handed Randy his clothes. "I know how it feels to like someone who likes you back but won't do anything about it."
Randy put on his clothes and walked with Dolph back to their cabin. "I don't have a boyfriend."
Dolph looked over at him. "What?"
"I lied because the first time I saw John I liked him but then he told me that he had a boyfriend. I got jealous and blurted out that I had a boyfriend thinking it would make him jealous."
"Well I've been in love with my best friend since forever and I even told him about it but he won't say it back even though I know he loves me too." Dolph said. "I don't know if I can face him tomorrow."
"Well I'll be here if you need someone to talk to." Randy said.
Dolph smiled and opened the door. "And same to you."
They walked in and went to their beds.
John was woke and he heard them come in and say goodnight to each other. He felt bad for hurting Randy knowing that he really cared for him.
