OUT - A Gay Story (BoyXBoy)

Thursday - Part 3

I finally finish my journey, by foot, back to Logan's house and see his car parked in the garage along with the other two cars owned by his parents. I wonder how long he has been home before me. I open the door quietly, trying to tip-toe my way inside, but before I could make it up the stairs safely, his mother, Mrs. Wolf, stops me on the first step of the staircase.

"Where on earth were you, Walt?" She asked very subtle.

"Sorry, I-I I had chorus practice after school today." I say, hesitantly.

"Really? The day after you were out sick they still made you use your voice?" She questioned.

"Yeah, I know, it's ridiculous."

"Well, that's funny, because when Logan arrived home, I asked him why you weren't with him and he said you two got into a fight." At this point she knows I am lying so she decided to confront me instead of letting me keep lying to her. I feel bad for lying to someone who is letting me stay in their house, especially my best friend's mom.

I take in a deep breath before I speak. "Look, it's true, okay?"

She looks at me very surprised. "You're gay, Walter?"

My eyes widening out of shock. "Oh, my God, no, Mrs. Wolf. Is that what he told you?"

"Yes, sweetheart. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

"It's okay, I just didn't think he'd tell you something like that." I try to change the subject from her questioning me being gay to Logan and I actually having a fight. "This is what happened. Today during school Logan got into a little commotion with another student. And on the way home I basically told him I'd have his back no matter what, but I'm assuming he took it the wrong way and thought I was trying to hit on him or something. That's how the topic of me being gay stirred up...sorta. But I promise you I'm not gay, Mrs. Wolf." Now I feel really bad for lying to her face.

"Oh, okay, honey. Again, I'm sorry for saying that. You go along upstairs and finish your homework if you have any."

"Okay, sorry for all that confusion." I head on upstairs and before I enter Logan's room I hear both of his parents speaking downstairs but can only hear muffled sounds. They are most likely talking about me. I open the door to Logan's room and find him sitting on his bed playing video games with his headphones tight against his ears. Good thing it's like that because I'm way beyond pissed at him.

Logan removes his headphones. "Hey, man. Didn't hear you come in." I give him the cold shoulder. "You're really not gonna talk to me?" Still no reply. "How long are you gonna keep this up? The party is tomorrow and I really don't want us to be silent to each other like this."

"Maybe you should cancel the party." I say with my back turned away from him.

"Why?" He asked.

"Because you and Amanda's ex-boyfriend did not do us any good today."

"What does that mean?"

"It means now that you punched the shit out of Aaron, he's for sure going to come to the party and beat the crap out of you too, especially since there aren't any adults going to be here. He won't get in trouble and he'll probably get away with it too."

"I got it under control, okay? I told the dick he wasn't invited and he's not allowed in my house." He replied.

I turn around to face him. "You really think telling him to not come over is going to stop him, Logan? He knows your parents aren't going to be home so he has every reason to trespass and transform your face. As much as I would love to have a party, I don't want to be part of it."

"Okay, well-"

I interrupt his sentence. "And you also told your mom I'm gay? Why the hell would you do that?"

"I don't know...I couldn't tell her I punched someone."

"So you decided to tell her that?" He can tell I'm very upset with him. My the tone in my voice is being to escalate quickly.

"Yeah, sorry. But what did Aaron mean 'reevaluate my best friend'?"

"How the hell should I know? We both know that kid is on some crazy drugs."

Now I'm fed up with this bullshit. If I see Aaron at the party tomorrow, I might be the one who's going to punch the shit out of him.
