Different But The Same

•Chapter 2•

Josh's POV:

I wake up breathing fast, in a panic. I feel warm, and sweaty. I turn to my other side, there is Ryan curled up next to me his left arm wrapped on my bare, tan stomach. He wakes up hearing me and puts his arms around me.

" baby i'm here. " he says to me. "it's okay now." he smiles faintly.

"i'm sorry i fucked up. you didn't have to stay with me" i tell him, laying on his lap my head to his chest.

"it's okay. i love you."

"more" i say back, sitting up. i turn around, grab his face and kiss him. as we are kissing, i wrap my legs around him and push him down. i started feeling all over his body. i kiss him, up and down. until we hear a knock on his door.

"ryan are you in there?" it's his dad. his very homophobic dad.

Ryan's POV:

I hear my dad knocking on the door.

"bud it's time for school, did you forget? it's still only friday" he says loudly.

i sit up, and push josh off gently.

"hide in the closet!" i tell him quietly in a bit of a panic. (no pun intended)

"okay" josh says, winking giving me a little kiss on the hand as i grab the door and close it.

My dad barges in the room,

"did you not hear me ryan!?" he yells at me, as i'm puling a tshirt over my head.

"i'm almost ready" i say pissed off.

"don't talk to me in that tone of voice" my dad yells raising a hand at me.

"i'm leaving for work, don't be late again" he says walking out of the room slamming my door.

Josh's POV:

i hear the door slam. i wait until ryan comes and opens the closet door then we both look each other in the eye and laugh loudly. we both get dressed and go to school together.

"i hope today goes okay. i'm kinda scared."

"don't worry babe i won't leave you again. ever, i promise." he assures me.

"okay baby" i respond, hoping for the best as we enter the school.

i hear people calling me and ryan. it's ashley, and jeremi.

"guys! ry! josh!" they yell motioning us towards them with hand gestures.

i look at josh, a bit nervous, he looks at me, and i can tell i will be okay. we walk over to them.

"hey guys." we both say in sync.

"hey, how's it going?" ashley asks.

"okay, don't really wanna be here but whatever you know" i say.

"yeah" jeremi says.

"can i talk to you a minute?" jer asks me.

"sure" i say smiling.

we walk away, going into the french room because it was empty and sit on the chipped white desks. jeremi looks at me. i can tell something is wrong. i have known him since i was 2 years old. i looked down at his arm, and hold it gently raising his sleeve. i see his cuts on his arms, and look back up to him seeing tears dripping down his eyes.

"why? i thought you were doing better jer?" i say sadly.

"i was, sort of. it got so fucking hard! i sometimes, i just don't know how to cope and.."

he starts balling his eyes out, using his sleeve to wipe his face. i hug him tightly, not really sure of what to say.

"why don't you hang out with me and ry tonight? we can all talk, go to the pier and have some drinks, it'll be fun."

"im not sure if ryan really likes me" he says

"don't worry. you guys just need to get to know each other." i say smiling and holding his face up, while he looks me in the eyes.

"okay?"

"yeah."
