Chapter 57

"What are you doing here? Nolan abruptly sits up from his bed, staring daggers at his father. Mr. Phillips looks between the two of us, throwing us disgusted and angry looks.

"What the fuck is this Nolan?" He angrily yells, striding towards the bed, pulling off the blanket. "Why are you two naked? And why were you kissing Scott?"

Nolan looks at his father with a proud smile as he wraps his arm around me, giving my temple a kiss. "Because dad. Scott is my boyfriend and if I want to make love to him, then I would."

"Boyfriend!" Angrily yells again, having a now deep scowl on his face. "You're fucking joking, right?"

"Nope." I watch Nolan get off his bed, putting on his boxer from the floor. "I love him and he loves me." Looking back at Mr. Phillips, he looks disbelief at his son. I coward away when he lands his gaze at me, giving me a scowl. Feeling uncomfortable, I get off the bed, grabbing Nolan's shirt off the floor and putting it on. Nolan walks up to me, still having the proud smile. "So dad." We both look over to him. "Does it bother you that you're son is gay? Does it bother you if I do this.." Nolan grabs onto my face, crashing his lips onto mine. I grab onto his shoulder, steadying myself as he roughly kiss me. Abruptly, we break the kiss with one last peck, gasping for air. "What do you think about that, dad?"

If a face can kill, then it's definitely for sure that I would be dead at his stare. Mr. Phillips doesn't acknowledge what his son ask as he simply looks at me with fire in his eyes. "You." He says it with evil and anger. "You're the reason my son is like this, you little fag." I coward behind Nolan as Mr. Phillips stride towards me.

"Don't you fucking dare touch him." Nolan protects me, holding me behind him.

"You're not a fucking fag Noel. It's because of that boy. What did he do to you?"

"He did nothing to change me because I was already like this. For years, I didn't realize that I cared deeply about Scott, something even more than a best friend should care for. I didn't realize how much it hurts when I decided to be an asshole and push him away from me. I didn't realize that I didn't fall in love with him .... I was already in love with him." I cling onto his biceps, knowing that this subtle touch calms him down. "I don't give a fuck what you say or think because you're not my father. You stopped being my father the day your other life came here. Now get the fuck out and get the fuck away from me, from mom, from Nathan and Neil, and most definitely get the fuck away from Scott." I close him eyes, wanting to disappear at the moment. Everything remain silent. Then, I hear the door being slam shut, which I jump from the sound, trembling a little.

"It's okay. He's gone." I feel his warm body press against me, his arms around me. "It's okay baby. He's not going to hurt you. I promise to protect you for long as I live."

The rest of the day we stayed in Nolan's room, laying down on his carpeted floor, watching tv. After what happened with Nolan's dad, I couldn't comprehend to start any conversation and I think it's the same for Nolan. I know Nolan was always like this, even when he nor anyone knew of it, but I guess I completely understand where Mr. Phillips is coming from. For all his life, he thought his son loves girls, but as I re-enter his life, that's when everything changed.

"Are you okay?" Nolan ask as he parks on my driveway. Maddie called, saying that she's hanging with a friend.

"I'm fine." Sighing, I jump out of his truck, not looking back when Nolan calls out for me.

************

It's been a couple of days after the whole incident with Nolan's dad. Nolan noticed my unusual behavior whenever he's around me. I want things to be back to normal, but I just can't. All I hear is the words Mr. Phillips said to me. All I can see is the look of disgust and pure anger on Mr. Phillips. Even worse, I can't look at Nolan without seeing Mr. Phillip in them.
