Boys Home

Four

I'm in my room pacing back in forth, I can't believe Matthew is making me go swimming. If he thinks I am going in that water he is so wrong. There was a knock on my door and I open it seeing Ash, he smiles and holds out a bathing suit. I take it mumbling a thank you then close the door. I quickly change making sure I put on a long sleeve shirt.

I walk down stairs where the others are waiting, we walk outside and get in the car which is so uncomfortable. Matthew is driving, Ash is sitting up front and me, Wyatt and Luka in the back. I look out the window watching cars pass by while the boys talk with each other.

They all seem pretty close like a big happy family. I close my eyes at the happy part, ugh whatever. "Luke" I hear my name be called and I open my eyes looking over. "Yes" I sigh not wanting to talk to them. "Do you have school?" Matthew asked. "No, I'm out for the summer" I answer then look back out the window. I hear him sigh. "Look, I'm sorry for snapping at you" He apologies. Ash looks back with a smirk, "he has a short temper" He whispers making Luka giggle next to me.

"I can hear you" Matthew says. "That was the point Matt" Ash chuckles turning back up front. The car stops and everyone gets out, I get out of the car and follow the others to the pool area. There was no one else here so maybe it's a private pool. I take a seat on one of the chairs while the others get into the pool, splashing and all. I should've brought my sketchbook this would be amazing to draw.

Water droplets spray onto me and I glare at the boys. "Oops" Luka giggles a bright grin on his face. "Get in here Luke!" Wyatt yells while on Ash's back. "Pass, I don't like swimming" I say looking away. "Are you sure that's the only reason?" Matthew asks resting his elbows on the tile surrounding the pool. I grit my teeth. "Fine! I can't swim okay! Happy!" I yell at him. Everything goes quite and I take a breath looking away.

"Luke I hope you know we won't laugh at you" Wyatt's voice sounds closer. I look back and see him standing next to my chair. "We can teach you" Ash says from behind. Wyatt holds out his hand with a small smile, I sigh and hesitantly take it. I get up and we slowly get into the water which is freezing. "Don't you wanna take your shirt off?" Luka asked floating nearby. "Nope" I answer as Wyatt pulls me to the deep end.

"I t-think we should s-stop h-here" I stutter wanting to go back. "Hey you're okay, there is four of us you are safe" Wyatt says squeezing my hand. My feet aren't touching the bottom anymore and I start sinking. "Wyatt!" I yelp. "Kick your feet so you tread" He says. I do as he says and I kick my legs. "See you are doing great!" Wyatt smiles loosing his grip on my hand. "Don't you dare let go!" I snap at him. He chuckles and laces his fingers threw mine. "I won't let go" he says.

After a few more minutes I get tired and sit on the stairs still in the pool. Luka swims up to me and sits next to me while Ash, Wyatt, and Matthew swim. "How are you settling?" He asked. I look over at him raising an eyebrow. "It's um new" I mumble looking at the others. "I get that, my first day wasn't the best" He says. I look back at him. He smiles. "I lost my parents in a shooting 4 years ago, no idea why the person left me alive" He says gently kicking his feet in the water.

"I'm sorry" I say. "Thanks, maybe he left me alive because he scared me for the rest of my life" his voice falters. "What did he do to you" I ask softly. "Raped me repeatedly" He says coldly. "Luka..." I trial off biting my lip. I don't know what to say. "Luke I don't know what you are going threw but we are here to offer a safe place and a place where you can talk" He says placing a hand on my arm. I tense at the touch and Luka quickly moves his hand.

Luka swims off to join the others, why would he tell me that? We barely know each other and he just told me something so sad and heart breaking like we have been friends for a while. Maybe one day I can trust them enough to tell them what happened to me...

Two and a half months later

I just finished another drawing and I want to hang it on my wall but someone took the tape. I think Ash did so I walk to his room knocking softly. I don't get an answer so I turn the knob and open the door. My jaw drops and my eyes widen. Wyatt and Ash are on Ash's bed both very naked and Ash shoving himself into Wyatt's ass. A loud moan fills the room and I feel myself blush. Wyatt moans again opening his eyes meeting mine, his eyes widen. "A-Ash! Mhm! W-Wait!" Wyatt moans again.

I quickly slam the door shut rushing back to my room, I did not just see that. No, nope, no way. I am still blushing and I feel weird. A rapid knock is on my door and I quickly place myself against the door so they can't walk in. I can't face them, I just can't. The knocking continues and I drop my head between my knees.

After awhile the knocking stops and footsteps fade down the stairs. My stomach growls and I curse under my breath. Fuck you stomach. I slowly get up and open the door walking out down the stairs. I walk into the kitchen quietly, Ash, Wyatt and Matthew are in a quiet discussion. Wyatt looks over and sees me a deep blush spreading across his face. Ash and Matthew look up as well, Matthew smiles.

"Hello Luke" Matthew greets. I sigh. "Look I don't care if you guys are together, I just want food" I say. I walk to the fridge opening it, I grab a thing of yogurt and close the fridge. I grab a spoon and start eating the yogurt. Wyatt walks out, Ash and Matthew turn to me. "Did you need something when you we'll walked in?" Ash asked. "Tape" I answer finishing my yogurt. Ash nods and walks up the stairs probably to get the tape.

Matthew smiles at me then walks into the living room sitting down. Well things are now awkward....great?
