Aiden

"Omg I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you!" Jeanine said going all banshee status on me again. It was Sunday and I was in my room relaxing listening to music, thinking about Liam when my door swung open banging against the wall. I jumping out of my skin thinking it was Brent here to beat me again but instead I see J running towards me screaming about something with tears in her eyes. She tackled me crying on top of me, so I patted her back reassuringly; ignoring the pain of my bruises she was disturbing.

"Damn J you should try out for the football team" I wheezed. Her face was buried in the side of my neck as she wailed. I heard her chuckle a little before she slapped my shoulder without removing her head.

"Don't make me laugh asshole!" She stifled into my neck. I laughed wrapping my arms around her waiting for her to calm down.

"I'm so sorry Aiden" she kept saying over but all I could do was just kept telling her it was ok. Soon she sat up; her butt resting on my thighs as she looked down at me with the most depressed face.

"Oh my goodness J, it's going to be fine. I mean I didn't want it to get out but what else can I do? It's too late anyway so... it whatever." I said trying to convince her and myself. She shook her head and wrapped her arms around my neck tightly.

"I should have been there!" She cried. "I could have helped you out, been there for you more than Eric. I'm a girl I could have given you a hell of a lot more moral support." She exclaimed scolding herself. I shook my head. Eric. I haven't talked to him for a while since I was thrown out of my cozy closet. I understand though, he thought it was gross.

"Hey, I had his back that day but he ran off and I couldn't find him." a deeper voice said. I snapped my head over to the door and saw Eric standing there his hands in his pockets and a sheepish smile on his face. I bit my lip from grinning like a fool. He was here! It meant the world to me.

"Eric" I whispered happily. He supped me with his head,

"Aiden, man" he walked to my bed sitting on the edge his elbows resting on his knees and his hands clasped together. "So, how have you been?" His brown eyes never flickering from mine. I smiled,

"I'm good" he nodded. There was a slight awkward pause till J interrupted it.

"Oh my Jebus! He's gay, Eric and you know now so quite being a douche." she told him. Eric gave a slightly offended face.

"I'm not being a douche" he complained to her before looking over at me guiltily. "Honestly I knew or more like suspected it." My mouth was hung open along with J's.

"You did? And you didn't say anything?" I cried.

"Well I mean you never had a girlfriend, you never even tried to flirt; plus every time I mentioned a hot girl you would get this nervous fidgety, twitchy thing going on so I just connected the dots but I was waiting for you to tell me. I would drop subtle hints at you but you never got them." He confessed rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.

J and I stared at him for a while before we both tackling him down.

"Yay!!" J said.

"Thank god" I said happy he didn't think I was disgusting. I wrapped my around their necks pulling them closer to me happy as a clam.

"You guys are the best friends a gay guy could ever have." I said as they chuckled.

"The three musketeers" J added.

"Here, here!" Eric yelled.

After we just hung out in my room till my mom called us to dinner. J and Eric decided to spend the night so we could all go to school together. I hadn't told them about Liam yet, still not sure what that was all about. He said he we were friends but I don't how that happened. He acted like he hated me a while ago so what the hell change?
