A new beginning

Chapter 13

JAMES POV;

A few days passed and it was really awkward, well to me at least. We rarely ever talked and we kind of just smiled and winked at each other every now and then. I texted Amelia a few times to come over but she always said she was busy with babysitting her sisters kid or something.
Today Im going over to Mike's for a party, I asked Carter if he wanted to come with me, "no, I think I will stay home." he said starting up the computer to make a minecraft video.
"You sure? I think you should come, you need to get out more." he looked at me and sighed.
"I don't know, I just don't feel like going to the party." he shrugged and looked back at the monitor. I've had enough of this.
"No, Carter, it's not the party it's me. You don't to go with me," I shouted in anger, "I don't understand you anymore, we were best friends and now I don't know if we're friends. I-"
"James, of coarse we're friends."
"Yeah, just friends."
"Well-"
"I don't understand, I miss the old you, the one that always smiled and made me happy. I want the Carter I knew before all of this gay shit happened."
"James!"
"I'm serious," I stomped my foot, "we had an awesome life before you were gay."
"I was always gay, James."
"What ever." I open the front door and slam it behind me as I walk outside, I huff, "god damn it." I say looking at the pavement beneath my feet.
"What's wrong?" I look up.
"Oh, hi." I give him a glare.
"Never mind then. Is Carter home?"
"No."
"Oh, where is he? Can I call h-"
"No." I say louder. The door opens behind me.
"Noah!?" Cater says happily. I took my eyes and stomp to my car in rage. I slam the car door and watch as Carter and Noah go inside, I turn on the car and turn up the radio as I sing along;

After a while of driving I began to calm down a bit and decided to go to Mike's. when I got there, there was already a few people. Mike saw me and began to move through the crowd to say hi, "hey man, you're late."
"Yeah sorry."
"It's cool don't worry about it. Take off your shoes and come have a drink.

CARTER'S POV;

"Babe, you okay?" Noah asked as I began to put my shirt on.
"Yeah, I just have been confused and stressed lately."
"Oh, why is that?" we were sitting on my bed and I looked at him, something was off about him but I didn't know what.
"I don't know actually."
"Oh?" he looked confused.
"Actually," I shuffled on the bed and looked at him, "I want to know why you like me?"

NOAH'S POV;

Shit, I knew he was going to ask that!
"Carter, the question should be why wouldn't I like you because, there wouldn't be an answer." I lie. I feel bad that I'm doing this to him I can tell he really cares about me and I really liked him but now not so much, guess that's what happens when you're Bi. Yes, I told Carter I was gay but I knew him well enough he wouldn't fully except me if I didn't. He only dates guys who are gay, not Bi, I don't know why but I guess that's just who he is.
"Awe," he kissed me and I forced myself to kiss back but it was a short kiss before he continued, "but that doesn't answer my question, Noah." ShitShitShitShitShitShitShitShitShit!

CARTER'S POV;

I was pissed with my arms crossed, Noah is making up shit. Or maybe he's not and I'm just being a snobby b*tch? I guess I am just a snob. I uncrossed my arms and relaxed my face, "you are perfect to me, Carter." I smiled.
"Thanks, you are to me too."

NOAH POV;

Step one completed. Oh god, Carter, please forgive me.
