forced but meant. [JARREN]

2. agreement

Justin just couldn't believe his parents. He was angry at them that he just walked back to Darren's room.

He didn't know why he did that but he just felt that it was right. He slammed the door and stood behind the door. He was standing there in shock.

"Why..." Justin softly said as he fell onto his knees. He finally let all of the tears fall as he cried.

"Why him?" Justin was whispering in between his  tears. He felt betrayed because his parents broke his one promise.

The truth was Justin was so in love with Darren.

[ With Darren ]

"I'm so sorry for his behavior, he usually doesn't act like this." Justin dad apologized feeling a mix of anger and confusion. "It's alright we understand, nobody expect to be forced to marry someone at this age and especially forced"

Darren just sat there feeling confusion and anger. He felt betrayed his parents would make him to something for company and business.

"Uh...excuse me I have to the bathroom." Darren said as he stood up and said before leaving.

Both pair of parents allowed him to leave and went back to talk to business and how there son's marriage would be a good thing.

Currently Justin had made his way to Darren'a room trying to ignore all off the begging. He didn't know why all of sudden everything went down hill.

"Hey..." Justin was sitting calmly on the edge of the supper soft bed. When he heard that voice he didn't know what he should do.

"Hm?" Justin quickly wiped his tears he didn't want the other to know he was still crying. Darren softly smiled and walked towards the figure who was sitting in his bed.

"Just do it for your parents and mine, soon we can go out separate ways" Darren said as he sad next to Justin, who couldn't find the right words.

"Why? Why can't you marry someone else!" Justin said as he felt the tear reappear. "Why me?" Justin said softly still not accepting his parents wish.

Justin and Darren knew they could never be friendly with one another but they had to from now on.

"I don't know...just accept and it'll make them happy. Let them talk and then you can make your finally decision." Darren said as he look at the balcony door which allowed the beautiful moon shine it light through reflecting on Justin face which was covered in small tears.

"I never imagine I would be seeing a loser cry especially in my room." Justin looked at Darren with an angry face. "There the Justin I know," Darren smiled seeing Justin face change. "Cmon let go?" Darren said as he stood from his bed and walked towards the door.

"Okay..." Justin said as he stood and walked behind Darren who was standing in front of the door.

The pair made their way to the dining hall, Justin felt embarrassed for his behavior and apologized.

"Oh honey, it's okay." Mrs. Liang said with a smile. She felt bad for the boy who didn't even have a clue.

Such news clearly have nothing to do with him and his future he had planned.

"So what do you say Justin, Darren..." Mr. Liang said he had a serious face on as he stared directly at Justin who felt very nervous

"yes I'll marry him..."

"I'll marry him..."

[the next day]

"Why are you acting so weird today?" Ryan said as he noticed his best friends actions. Justin had been very quiet and quiet which was not the Justin he knew.

"Nothing, I'm just tired" Justin said as he was finishing his work. Ryan knew he grime dvery well and knew even if he stayed up all night he would never act tired.

"Okay...if you say so." Justin was just going to say that but he knew he could tell his friend.

"Justin." Justin knew that voice and quickly became nervous. "What..." Justin said as he turned to face where the voice came from. Ryan also heard the voice so he also turned around.

"Dad want us both at his office to sign some stuff" Darren said as he took a seat behind Justin. Ryan was super confused.

"Sign some papers? For what? And since did you guys talk to eachother to friendly?" Ryan was super co fused why his friends were being so friendly to eachother.

"You'll find out soon." Darren said as he smiled at Ryan. Ryan was super confused but don't say anything. "I'll drive us after school." Darren said as he looked at Justin.

"Fine but you'll have to wait." Justin said as he remembered he had to do something after school.

"Why?" Darren said as he tried to focus on his work. "I need to retake a test." Justin was honest and told him which made him regret his decision.

"Are you stupid or something?" Darren asked which made Justin mad.

You could say Justin and Darren had to sit in the hall and thing about there choices.

[At the office]

"Hey dad." Darren greeted with a smile as he walked through the door with a Justin following him. "Oh hello, Mr. Phan." Darren greeted with a smile as he saw the other's dad.

"Hi Mr. Liang and dad." Justin happily greeted with a smile as sat next to Darren right in front of the desk.

"We need you two to sign these contracts for the marriage to happen." Darren's dad slipped two folded infront of the boys.

Darren and Justin knew this was a huge decision they had to deal with. They both softly open the white folders in front of with a pice of paper.

Both Justin and Darren silently sign the paper and have the folder containing the letter to their dad.

"Well congratulations, you guys will be married after graduation which in about 5 months right? So wedding will be in 7 months" Justin and Darren felt a deep feeling something about this plan was not going to work...

"It shouldn't be anything really? You guys have to act like a couple in front of the media and fake everything." Mr. Phan said as he walked to the window revealing the beautiful city.

"I guess that true...anyways I gotta go I have basketball practice." Darren said as he stood from his spot, stretching his arm over his head.

Justin had a mixed feeling about Darren comment as he knew that the basketball team didn't have practice but choose not to say anything.

"Okay, I'll see home then." Mr Liang said as he watched his son walk to the door and left. Justin felt awkard in the office. His dad was admiring the sky and Mr. Liang was smiling and staring at Justin.

"So are you going to chase him?"
