17-A wake-up call to reality

Brandon's pov

It's been 2 weeks since Garrett came back and if I got to be honest, it has been strange.

I thought things would go back to before but even if we still do our usual sexual activity like I need to, it's just not the same anymore.

I promised him we would go out but we haven't so far. Blame that on our jobs, I guess. So, we have been seeing each other only to have sex that's it and that's what's strange.

We used to see each other all time but now it's just for sex...I really don't know why I don't like that it's changed.

I originally wanted to get away from Garrett because he scares me...not him but how I feel whenever I'm with him. I'm getting too attached to him and it scares me.

I don't know why but I can't help but want Garrett next to me. I can't let him go...and I don't like that I can't do so.

It's as if every time I feel like he's pulling away from me I try to find a way to make him stay, stay with me...I hate that I do that. Is it because we are becoming dangerously too attached?

I mean it's kinda understandable since no one has done what Garrett so far. For real, ever since he came into my life, he brought change with him. He changed my entire leaving style which I had for years. I could very much hate him for that but I can't hate him for that...I don't like that my life is changing so much, especially in a way that's so different from what I got used to but maybe I need it? I might secretly like my new living situation...

Ugh, I have to stop overthinking this! I just want to chill and have fun that's it!

Anyways, I mentioned earlier that we have yet to go out together, though it seems like it's changing today because Garrett and I are going somewhere today.

The other day, he asked me to tag along to a barbecue night that his parents host. I'll admit I wasn't buying into this idea but he begged so badly for me to go that I had no choice but to agree. See this is what I mean, I can't help but want to be with him...Ugh, it's so confusing.

Anyways, I don't know what's so special about a barbecue night with his family but it seems like it might as well be special to him at least. He wouldn't tell me why so I didn't ask.

Through, it feels strange his parents are inviting me to their house knowing what happened between Garrett and me. I'm sure he told them as he always seems to.

Regardless of what his family thinks of me now, I'll have some fun tonight.

—————

We arrive at his parent's house and we notice they are all in the backward, as we are the last to arrive. I notice that Garrett is tempted to hold my hand but I do nothing on it.

We get in the backyard and I notice Garrett's dad, I believe David on the barbecue. There's a pool which I never noticed before. Oh, that's why Garrett said I should bring my swim shorts. It makes sense now.

I notice 2 figures in the pool, one of them is Garrett's sister, I believe Amanda but it's the other woman that I can't quite grasp who she is. She can't possibly be a member of Garrett's family as she has mid-length light brown hair and light brown eyes, as well as freckles. Eh, probably a friend of the family.

"Garrett! Brandon welcome! Come sit down with me!"

Garrett's mom gestures to us to come sit with I believe Amanda's husband. Through, I immediately notice the cold stare Amanda's husband gives me.

"Hi, Mom! I'm sorry that we're late. Brandon had to work!"

"Oh yeah, you work as a cashier don't you?" Even if Garrett's mom is smiling brightly, I can tell by her eyes that she's judging me.
