BxB Cashby Healed My Heart (Completed)

Chapter 26

I didn't sleep at all that night. After Hayley ran off, I basically broke down on the hill and Austin tried to reassure me that she might not even tell anyone. But I knew she would. She was this tiny little thing but she had a wicked tongue on her. I had physics with her so that was the only reason she actually knew who I was. But now the whole school was about to know who I was.

I assumed that Austin had told Lucas because he was texting me all night begging me to answer. But I couldn't. I was too terrified so I just switched my cell off. Not only would I be outed to the school, I would probably be outed to the entire town. And then my parents would find out that I was gay and then they would find out about Austin. I know that they would stop me from seeing him if they found out and I just couldn't handle that. I was fucking in love with him and the thought of not being with him was just too painful.

I eventually got out of my bed at 6 so that I could shower. I did debate on skipping school but it was not like I could skip it forever. She may have not told anyone yet. But I was pretty sure that she would have. As I walked down to breakfast my parents were all smiley and didn't have a clue as to what was about to unfold.

"You look tired sweetie, are you okay?" My mom asked.

I just nodded and smiled weakly, "I'm fine."

I couldn't even manage a slice of toast and my hands were shaking as I grabbed my school bag. I was really dreading today. I waved goodbye to my parents before opening the door and beginning to walk down the street. I was staring at the ground as I walked so when I looked up, I got a shock. At the end of the street I could see Austin, Lucas, Jaime and Aaron stood there waiting for me. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion as I drew nearer.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Aaron and Jaime smiled weakly at me while Lucas and Austin just stared at me with sympathetic looks on their face.

"We know Alan..." Jaime smiled, "And we're here to support you."

I didn't know what to say when Austin walked forwards and engulfed me into a big hug. I broke down slightly in his arms as I rested my head into his shoulder.

"Everything's going to okay..." He cooed and kissed the top of my head.

I shook my head and looked at him, "I-if my parents find out they'll-."

"Hey," He said, "Don't worry about that. It's going be okay."

I nodded and he kissed my forehead before taking my hand in his. I looked at Jaime and Aaron in worry. They knew. I didn't know how they were going to react.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Aaron shook his head.

"I-I was scared..." I whispered.

"Alan...we don't care if you like men," Jaime sighed, "Shit, we wouldn't care if you were attracted to fucking trees."

Despite everything I actually smiled, "Thank you..."

"You idiot," Aaron hugged me, "You should have told us..."

He was right. I had the greatest friends ever and I should have trusted them.

"Did Lucas tell you?" I asked.

Jaime and Aaron glanced at each other nervously before Aaron said, "Not exactly..."

My heart dropped to my stomach, "What's happened?"

Austin pulled me towards him and said, "Don't freak out, okay?"

I don't know why people say that because it just makes you panic even more, "Tell me."
