Lust and Wrath

Chapter 24

Daniel's Point of View-

"Come in," my mum said.

I stepped in, and I knew this wasn't going to be good. She stood in front of the door, not doing anything, almost as if she was expecting me to come in. Tears were clearly visible, flowing down her face, as she gave me a devastating look. "Mum," I shouted, running towards her, and grabbing her hands.

"What happened, what's wrong," I demanded. She clenched her eyes as I spoke, and began to cry even harder. I could tell her voice was faltering, and she wanted to tell me something, and that it wouldn't be good in any way.

"It's about Scott."

"What?" My eyebrows raised. I hope she didn't hear us from upstairs, or else this would be really bad.

"What about him, mum?"

She looked up at me, her eyes wide. "I'm sorry for doing this to you... I want you two to be together," she says. Wait, does she know that I'm homosexual, and she's encouraging me to be with him. This is all too weird. I sigh, thinking this is just my fatigue messing with my brain.

"Mum, what are you talking about?" I push my glasses upwards.

"I'm sorry, I can't say anything more. I'm afraid... I'm afraid of what will h-happen," she puts her face in her hands. Was something going on that I didn't know about. I immediately went up to her, and patted her on the back, letting her get it all out. I guided her over to her bed, and helped her lay down. "T-Thank you dear," her voice was thick with tears.

"I still don't understand, mum," I said again. I really don't understand what's going on here. "It's... It's nothing... Just, can you ask Scott if he knows me, please?" She pleaded. I don't know where she's going at, but I'll do anything for her right now. I just hate to see her cry. "Okay," I reassure her, and then step out of the room, closing her door gently.

I then ran up to my room precariously, and fell on my bed. So much happened today, I can't even process my mind on it. I take a few minutes to try and collect my thoughts together, from me shouting at Scott this morning, to us being at Dunkin' Donuts, to him giving me a blowjob. After a while, I notice that he hasn't called me yet. Before I know it, I'm already grabbing my phone to dial his number, even though it may seem a bit clingy.

After a few rings, he answers.

"Hey, Daniel, what's up?" He's the one to speak first.

"Hi Scotty," I blurt out, but it's already too late. Oh God, what kind of stupid petname is that? This is going to be very awkward.

"Hey, have you met my mum before?" I ask him, trying to kill the short silence. "No, why?" He asks afterwards. I knew he wouldn't know about her, if he had recognized her this morning, then he would've said something right? I'm a bit uncertain on what's going on here, so I think I'll have to confront her later.

"Heh, I don't know, she's just saying she's met you before or something, sorry." I feel a little bad for asking him stupid questions, but I didn't want to make her any sad. "It's okay," he replies back to me.

"So, are you ready for tomorrow, I got the paper signed," he says. His voice sounds unusually high at the end, which obviously means he's excited for this. I like how he tries to hide his feelings for things, it's really cute. I gasp in return, "Yay, we're going to have a blast tomorrow!" For the next few minutes, we just talked about Brianna, and how much of a bitch she was.

To be honest, I couldn't blame her completely for what happened. I'm not saying that I'm a born chick-magnet or anything, but she didn't know about my sexuality or anything, right? Of course, everyone falls in love with certain people at one point in their lives, and they just want to try to go out with them. I can't blame her, but I will admit that what she did was wrong. Hell, who would go so far as to beat me up, pin the blame on a social outcast, just to go out with me?

"Eh, I'll see," I reply. He's encouraging me to report her, which I do want to do, but we'll have to talk about that later. I push the phone away from me, so I can let out a yawn. It's almost bedtime, so I should be heading to bed now, "Well, I have to go now."

"Goodnight Scotty," I say, giggling. This seemed appropriate to say, so maybe he'd be fine with it?

"Night, babe."

My heart fluttered at the petname he had given me, and I tossed and turned around in my bed like a little child with butterflies in his stomach. He hangs up afterwards, and I put the phone on my endtable. Today was such an awesome day, and tomorrow was going to be even more awesome.

...

I'm in the car, and my mum is driving me to school again. She didn't say anything this morning, up until now. "So, what did he say?" She asks, eyes trained on the road. "He doesn't know you, mum," I reply, looking at her. Her eyebrows arch in disappointment, and she frowns. She takes a short sigh, and then we're already pulling up in the school driveway. "See you later, mum," I say, kissing her cheek, and stepping out of the car. I hear a faint 'goodbye' afterwards, once I'm walking into the school.

My first mission was to find Scott. Since we were in love with each other now, it'd be cool for us to start hanging out together, right? I think it would be good for his image if he was seen at least hanging out with one friend. I go to the end of the cafeteria, where the lockers are, and I see him standing near one of the lockers, on his phone. His eyes flick up to look at me, and he puts his phone down as I walk towards him.

Thankfully nobody was in the hallway when he called me, "Babe!" I guess the petname is going to stick now, so two can play that game. "Scotty!" I say, walking up to him. The petnames are so childish, but adorable at the same time. I jump up towards him, and he catches me into a hug, my legs now not touching the ground anymore. He pulls my chin up to kiss me, and I accept it gracefully.

It isn't long before I hear footsteps in the hallway, and he immediately places me down, us both aware of the approaching sounds.

I turn my head, and I see Nico standing at the end of the hallway, his blue eyes staring at us, mouth wide open.

He saw us.
