Me and him: Part 8

I woke up later that night around 9:00 or so. As leaned up from Charlie's bed I noticed Charlie sitting by the end of the bed reading. He had stayed by my side since I went to bed I thought. He had clothes on this time, track shorts I think. He notice that I was awake and laid down his book before rushing to my side. He stroked my head with my eyes barely open. "Hey, you feeling better?" he asked.

"I think so".
"Well that's better".
"Have you been with me since I fell asleep?"
"Uh yeah kinda. I popped in and out for lunch dinner and toilet breaks and some tv sometimes. But mostly here".
"Oh...uh..thanks".

"Well I've also been waiting for you to wake up so I could tell you something". I wasn't really looking forward to what he was gonna say after all things that happened today. "Do you remember when I said I didn't really wanna talk about my friends and family. Well there's a reason for that. A few months ago my mum caught me watching gay porn. She was furious and so was my dad they aren't particularly fond of gays. Well they said they don't mind them but they want grandchildren. Well they said that it would remain just between them and no other family members.

But during the conversations my brother was eaves dropping. Any way he told a few of his mates at school and before I knew everyone at school was whispering behind my back. Some of my closest friends started to ignore me within days and then people started with the name calling. For that whole week I was terrified.

Finally I lied my friends that I wasn't gay and that I never watch it. I never knew that James was behind it until all until a friend told me. I was so furious that on that day my friend told me I beat the shit out of James when we got home. When my parents came home and saw what I did they grounded me and told me that there was something wrong with me and that if I ever did something like that again they would send me away.

James felt terrible after that and wrote that what he said about me was a lie to everyone on Facebook. He also told me how sorry he was as well. I forgave him but we were never the same again. Everything is settled now but some of my friends are still a bit suspicious about me and I'm on a very thin line with my parents. If they knew about us I would be sent off. Anyway thought you should know that, I needed to get it off my chest" Charlie told me. I was in shock about what he had just told me. Another shock added to the day. I looked at him I could see a tear in his eye and before I knew it tears were rushing down his face.

I grabbed a tissue from the bed side table and wiped them for him. "Oh don't cry babe, you are amazing and you know it. Anyone who says otherwise are idiots. You are the most beautiful site I've ever seen. Your personality is great, you look amazing and your not afraid to show your emotions. Your parents are fools, i'm sorry, to think that being gay is not right. Your amazing and if people can't see through that then they are not a real friend. I love you" I said to him. We ended up sharing a kiss before laying down finally falling asleep in each others arms.
