Janes step-brother ~Byler~

twenty five

I messaged Lucas and Dustin on my way home wanting to hang out. They immediately said yes but did question as they thought I was hanging out with Jane today. Why can't I do what I want without her being around the centre of attention? It's my life god damn it.

Once I walked inside my garage and into the small door leading g into the basement I see Lucas and Dustin already sitting on the sofa stuffing their faces. Mum or Nancy must of let them in.

Both their eyes snapped up at me as the door clicks close. Lucas cheers moving the red plastic bowl off of his lap and into the small coffee table in front of him.

"Aye you're here!" I couldn't help my smile. I loved my friends so fucking much. They never failed to make me happy- except that one time at lunch where they insisted I take Janes to the Valentine's Day party/dance whatever it is.

Shit I really need to think about that... then again it's not a priority. It's two weeks away.

My smile not leaving my face as I sit in the Lazy-Z-boy across from them. Flashes of Will invading my mind when my hand trails up my neck making me smile even more.

"So why was you here so late- huh are those hickeys? Jane said you was there this morning-"

"Are you and Jane finally together?" Dustin cut off Lucas asking excitedly. Shaking my head lightly while last night just kept repeating in my head over and over.

I know they don't approve of mine and Wills relationship but I don't think I can keep what happened last night to myself. It was magical, something I ever wanted. And especially for my first time I was fucking great full it went like that. He was gentle and sweet.

He didn't put his needs over mine.

"She's not the reason for the bruises around my neck."

I say lifting my head up meeting their confusion gazes. I smile more thinking about his hands on me. Him asking me to be his boyfriend- fuck oh my god he's my boyfriend.

"Mike?" Lucas says making me look at him.

"The truth is it isn't Jane who I undressed."

Just tell them. Well- there is no turning back as their faces grew more concerned. Looking like they were demanding for more answers. What the truth in my words?

"I hooked up with Janes step-brother."

Little did I know all hail will break loose.

"You're so fucking unbelievable Mike." Lucas gets up leaning towards me as he shouts. His words spitting in my face as I stare carelessly at the floor. Tears threatening to escape any second.

Dustin didn't move. When the words fall from my mouth he looked schooled but trying to process them. The tips of his fingers at his lips while he thinks.

"Do you know how much you're going to hurt Jane with your actions? It's like you don't even care Mike. You guys are supposed... supposed to be something. Not you and her step-brother. Who by all means hve anger issues and wait a minute this might shock you. He's 20. Your to young for him-"

"Lucas stop. Please. I know what he is, he's my fucking boyfriend. I love him for who he is. Age-? So what and he's 19 for your miss information." I snap, small light tears leading down my cheeks as I look up at his stare. Holding tight onto mine. "I love him Lucas..."

The room fell silent as I stare back down at the floor. I miss him. I just want to go back to him- or to my room so I could call him and hear his voice. The voice what just sets my heart pupping. He would make me feel calm immediately.

Soon I felt someone bend down at my side, I look up to be met with Lucas' eyes. He smiles softly at me while his hand rests on my thigh as this other elbow leans in the side of the chair.

"Look I'm happy you found someone to make you happy and feel loved, I really am. Will is a great guy from what we heard from you. We saw how he looked at you when he picked all of us up that one time at school... you looked at him the same way. The way he grabbed your arm as well... we knew something was bond to happen. We're just worried about you Mike, when Jane says he has anger issues and a tough past... we just don't want him to target you." Lucas' face softened.

"He has control over them, out of the time I've know him he only lost it once but that was because he was scared. I saw the fear in his eyes when he looked at me... and I knew I wanted to protect him from that point on." It's true. I just want Will to know I'm here and. Ever leaving g him for anything. His anger issues don't bother me, if he losses control I won't run away or back away.

I'll help him fight them. I'll be there and listen to his words, hold him while he crys and wallows in self pity but I'll be there no matter what.

I love him. He's my boyfriend.

"I'm sorry Mike." I looked up to see Dustin making his way over. "It's just Troy and all people at school, we don't want them to make fun of you for being bi or what not." I nod to his words smiling up at him.

"Are you going to still Jane to the dance?" Lucas ask. I look in front of me.

"I have to." I whisper to myself.

Just can't let my boyfriend find out-

Oh my god- Janes step-brother is my boyfriend.
