A new beginning

Chapter 1

JAMES POV;

I was walking back home from my friends house, Mike, when I notices a lady, probably a year or two younger then me, walking in front of me. She had orange hair that was glowing in the light and ended at her shoulders, she was listening to music as she continued to walk, and I couldn't help but notice her ass, it was the perfect size and it bounced as she walked, yeah I probably sound like a creep but hey, it's a nice ass what do you expect from me? "Nice ass." I said out loud, unintentionally. I probably sound so pervy now, damn it, luckily it didn't seem like she noticed because she just continued to walk until she finally took out one of her earbuds and looked at me,
"Thanks." She said with a little giggle. She actually took it as a complement!? I started to walk faster so I could catch up to her, I expected she was planing on it because she left her earbud out. I caught up to her and she started to slow down,"hey." She looked at me with her beautiful, blue eyes and smiled, her feet stopping so she could speak,"my name's Amelia." Amelia put her hand out in front of me.
"James." I greeted myself and shook her hand.
"Nice name, I like it." We started to walk again,"Where are you heading?"
"I'm going home, I just left my friends place."
"Girl-friend?"
"No, just a guy friend. He had a party going on so I said I'd go." She seemed very pleased with that answer.
"So you're single?" I nodded,"nice." I saw where this was going and of course I was right. A while past and we got to know each other very well, we surprisingly had a lot in common, It was time for me to leave so I said bye to her and she gave me her number, but not just that, her home address too! I was so excited to tell Carter the news.

CARTER'S POV;

I was so nervous. I woke up this morning and James was still gone from last night. I had a lot of time to think and I finally told myself it was time. I'm going to come out to James. I was scared to death, what if he didn't approve? What if he didn't look at me the same? It was too late now, I was going to do it and there was no turning back.
James came in the door with a big smile on his face,"Carter, guess what?" he said right away. not giving me time to answer he blurted out,"i met a girl today, on the sidewalk, and she gave me her number!" I gave him a fake smile.
"Good for you."
"Thanks, her name's Amelia and we have a lot in common and we get along really well." I sat down on the couch and he came and sat beside me,"what's up?"
I looked up from my feet and looked at him in the eyes.
"I-I think that... I'm... gay." I said quietly looking back at the ground. He just stared at me,"it's okay, laugh."
"Why would I do that? You're basically my best friend, you can tell me anything." I was so pleased that I hugged him without hesitating, he hugged back.
"Thank you, James. I'm so happy you understand."

JAMES POV;

Obviously this was a lot to take in and I was kind of shocked, we knew each other for such a long time that I would've never thought Carter would be... Gay. I was proud of him to come out to me and strangely very relieved, but what if he liked, ME? that would be a totally different thing. I continued to hug him, not even noticing how long it was,"James?" Carter asked,"Can I ask you something?"
"Anything." I replied scared of what it might be.
"Can I hug you for a bit longer?" He asked with his eyes closed and a tear falling down his face.
"Sure." At that very moment there was a smile on Carter's face.
