Chapter 13

Jakes POV

I didn't dare turn around. I knew he was gunna yell at me. I had just flipped out on him in the middle of a restaurant. I kept my face close to Ellie and my arms out of Casey's sight.

"What was that mate?" his voice for the first time in weeks wasn't hateful. But I still don't trust him, Ellie grips my hand. I look at her and her face tells me to talk I him.

"Case you know what that was about." My voice isn't strong but I hope it's strong enough. It is for the first time. I haven't talked to Casey directly like this in weeks. To be honest I missed it.

"I know. Jakey-" I cringe. "I- I'm sorry." His voice shakes and now I look at him. I can't believe it.

"Jake I don't know what to say. I'm just-"

"The worlds biggest homophobe and would ditch your best friend after accusing him of begin gay just be safe about it because you could never in your wildest dreams think of being friends with someone who even question their sexuality." He blinks at my words and Ellie grips my hand again. I can't believe that I just said that. I turn back around so my back is to him.

"Jake..." he doesn't say anything else. He just trails off and I can tell he's crying.

"Why didn't you tell me that you weren't?" He asks with a chuckle. I look down again. He's still standing a few feet feet. Ellie behind me by only a stride.

"Because it wouldn't have been completely true and I can't lie to you. I'm not gay I'm just... I'm confused okay Case. Some recent... discoveries of feeling have... enlightened me quit a bit." I say and he doesn't answer. I look at him and he just blinks.

"So you could be gay?" he asks and I see his hands clench then relax. I nod slowly and he sighs. The takes a hand and runs it threw his blonde quiff. I bite my lip as I see this.

"And I can't be friends with you. I-I don't even think I can be in the band if your not okay with that Case." My voice cracks and I swear when I'm done. He doesn't say anything. He presses his lips and folds his arms. He has a tank top on and I think it's the one I got him for his birthday.

What's up with him? He followed us then he ordered my food and ordered my special. Got the same thing for himself. He seemed to feel bad for what he did. This isn't the Casey I know. Maybe he saw the cuts and felt bad so he's giving me pitty.

"Okay. I- I'm okay with that." He stammers and I scowl. I swallow. I look up at him but I'm still not sure if I can trust his words. Or him. I pressed my lips and felt Ellie grab my hand. I squeezed it and she rested her head on my shoulder. I see something flash in Casey eyes at his fists clench.

"Come on mate lets go home." He says and I look at Ellie. I press my lips and play with one of my piercings.

"Give me a minute C." I say and he nods. He places his hands in his pockets and spins on his heel.

"Ellie call me text me. You know what come back with us." I say in a rush and she looks down. I can see her eyes from above her lashes.

"I'll text you. But. I have to woke till noon." She flings her hair to a side and bats her eyes. I nod and kiss her head. She smiles and nods. I take her phone and place my number in it for her. Then send a text to myself.

I turn and go to Casey. He smiles and throws an arm over my shoulder. We walk along the street and I glance at him every once in a while.

This isn't gunna be good. This gunna end bad.

Like always.
