To all my Boys

Chapter 3

The next Morning it was Friday, a lot of people had to go to work and school as usual.

Fourth woke up bright and early he got ready in his Schools sport wear and made his way to school.

At the gate as he waited for his friends he got a call.

" Hello?" He answered.

" Aren't you so chirpy in the morning?" His boyfriend asked in his deep morning voice.

Fourth blushed. " Why are you calling me in your morning voice....you're not supposed to seduce me I'm only 17."

Gemini chuckled. " I know, that's why I can't wait until your birthday to tear that ass up."

Fourth turned red. " Gem it's 7 o clock in the morning jeez. This kind of behaviour will get you arrested. I'm still a minor."

" Why do you keep reminding me, Baby should we maybe take a break." Gemini asked.

Fourth then seemed confused. " Excuse me what? Take a break? C'mon don't do this to me. What about our date on Sunday? Gemini answer me. Why are you quiet?"

Gemini cleared his throat. " I love you...I do but I just realised we always have to hide ....from everyone except our friends.
Plus you are technically not supposed to be with me until your 18 according to your brother."

Fourth felt tears in his eyes. " Why are you doing this now, are you cheating on me? Huh? Is that why ? And through the phone. Why don't you man up and do it face to face?"

Gemini sighed. " Listen please just calm down okay. I thought it's better to call you than to text you. I'm not cheating on you. After last night I realised something.
It's one thing having you lie to your brother. But after actually meeting him and my boss like face to face. I can't do that. I'm gonna need them to trust me if I want to continue dating you. I don't want to lie to them."

Fourth had a tear fall down. " So you're breaking up with me? I don't want to break up... what's two more months of pretending. Baby we can Pretend okay I don't mind pretending. "

Gemini sniffed on the other line. " Baby breath okay. I just want what's best for you. Thing is one of my co workers saw us yesterday...by your school. I just don't want to get fired, penalised or possibly custody jail but it's not totally illegal. Basically I need us to take a break for all the good reasons.
We can start over properly, I want your brother involved. I want to tell my siblings as well. Just please understand me. I'm doing this because I love you okay."

Fourth had tears streaming down his face. " It's fine * Sniff*  I understand. Ill delete your number and our chats and our pictures. If I could...delete our memories. Goodbye Gem."

Fourth heard Gemini protesting but hung up the Phone as he quickly blocked and deleted Gemini's number. Fourth Sunk to the floor his friends happened to arrive at this time and held him before he touched the ground.

" Woah woah hey, what's wrong?" Winny asked.

" Your crying....why are you crying?" Satang asked.

Fourth sobbed. " Gemini..." Satang held onto Fourth as he hugged him.
" It's okay, your okay. You don't have to say anything let's get inside. Let's go sit down."

Satang then looked at Winny. " Please carry the bags....I just have to... yeah "

As Satang got them to a bench. Fourth had stopped sobbing. " Ohk now do you want to tell me what happened?"  Satang asked.

Fourth chuckled. " I am now the thing I pretended to be..... Single."

" Gemini broke up with you? Why? Did he meet someone at that stupid Varsity...?" Satang asked.
