Chpt. 9: Coming out

-Three months after car accident-

The three men had hung out more often now. Chris didn't feel anything too serious towards Evan three months before, but over time, he grew attached to him.

Jonathan also had the same problem. He had very little feelings towards Evan at first, but when he woke up after the car crash, he knew that there was something more that he felt towards the man. Jonathan thought that he would never be able to love someone again, but Evan proved that wrong.

Jonathan was thinking too much, so he just decided to play some Gmod with whoever wanted to play. He asked all of the gang if they were free, but in the end, only Luke decided to play. Luke was and still is his best friend, ever since their childhood. Jon knew that if he told something to Luke, it would never be spread. He knew what he felt about Evan, so he decided to tell his best friend about what he felt.

"Luke, I have something to tell you." Jonathan said, trying his best to say the words. "What up? Is something bothering you, or is it because you have a crush on Evan?" Luke asked, knowing the answer to the question he asked.

"How did you - never mind, but yes, I do like Evan. This feeling is foreign, I haven't felt it in five years, ever since that…" Jonathan spoke, deflated from speaking to fast. "Jon, you know that if you keep your feelings in, it WILL hurt you. You have to tell Evan soon, or else you're gonna regret it." Luke warned Jon as he sighed softly.

"What if I do it today?" Jonathan asked, waiting for approval. "Sure, but didn't you say there was someone else who was really close with him too? Wasn't his name Chris?" Luke asked as Jon felt jealousy kick in again. He knew that the two were getting closer and closer, just like before.

Jon then asked himself something, "Why is Chris trying so hard to win Evan's friendship back? What is it that he wants?"

"Jonathan. Hey, Jon! Yoohoo!" The sound of Luke calling him snapped Jon out of his trance. " Huh, oh sorry. I'm actually starting to think the only reason that Chris is becoming friends with Evan is because he wants something from him. The thing that I think he wants, unfortunately, is for Evan to love him. They've been friends since freshman year."

"Do you think so? It's possible, but if that's the case, you'll have to beat him to it! So, tell Evan today, not tomorrow, not next week, TODAY! Now go, and don't come back without a new boyfriend." Luke said cheerfully as he said goodbye.

Now was the time, it's time to tell Evan.

"Evan, calm down, it's almost over, just a few more seconds." Chris said as he tried to calm down the man next to him. Evan and Chris were at the Santa Monica Pier, and were riding the Ferris Wheel.

"Why did you drag me here?!" Evan said as he tried not to scream. "I thought we should go out after the first two months were taking care of Jonathan." Chris responded as the ride came to a stop at the top of the Ferris wheel.

"No!" Evan shouted as he noticed the ride stopped on the top. "Uh, Evan, you're my friend and all, but what would happen if I actually liked you as a lover or something?" Chris asked as he started to sweat from being nervous. Evan gave him a look of confusion. Chris couldn't hold back his feelings anymore and went in for a kiss.

"Come on, hurry up! Move out of the way! GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Jonathan shouted as he drove towards the pier. He knew that Evan and Chris had come here. He waded through the crowd, trying to find the person he wanted to love so much.

Jonathan looked at the top of the Ferris wheel, and saw the two men on top. He saw Evan panicking from the great heights. The next thing he knew, the Ferris wheel stopped, and Jonathan felt worried because Chris would possibly ask Evan first.

Jonathan's world came crashing down the instant he saw the two connect lips. He felt like his heart was taken into a pit of darkness.

"I knew I shouldn't have gotten attached to him! I knew he would break my heart!"

Evan pulled his head back as he tried to register what had happened. Something to him to look down, and what he saw hurt him so much. It was Jonathan, looking up with tears running down his face, and looking up at Evan. Jon just shook his head as he started to walk away.

"No, I don't want to be with Chris, I want to be with Jonathan!" The man told himself as he felt responsible for what happened. The ride started to go down again.

Once the ride was on the floor, he ran towards the crowd, hopeful that Jonathan would still be here. Chris grabbed his arm and stopped him. "Evan, he's gone. Just talk to him later." Chris said as he tried to get the man to stay. Evan started to get angry, now realizing why Jon always felt anger towards Chris.

"Chris, not now, I need to get back to my best friend." Evan mumbled, a hint of anger in it. "No, just call him later, he's gonna be okay." Chris responded, tugging on the other man's arm. Evan finally broke and the anger flowed through every part of his body. He tugged his arm back and punched Chris in the face.

Chris couldn't register what happened next. He felt anger surge also, but did the one thing he would NEVER do. He punched Evan in the forehead, and straight on the scar that was left behind from his accident.

Evan felt his head twist and turn as he felt a powerful migraine take over his head. He then felt everything coming back to him.

He regained his memory again.

Hey guys, how intense was that? What? Not enough? Well, I'm sorry. Anyways, *Gasp* what's gonna happen now? Well, let's hope we find out sooner or later. So, review, PM, favorite and follow, and I'll see you guys later. (P. S. - I'm sorry for making this chapter nine days late. :( )
