Outcast - An Immortalfox Story

Chapter 17

Yay, the last week of school until our summer break. Mike was going to be here next Monday for 2 weeks. I can't wait to see him, I've missed him so much. He was my best friend, and, my first kiss. He was the first person I told and when I told him he, kissed me right there.

That's when I found out for sure, I did like guys. Then the asshole walked in on it and since then, has made my life a living hell. Well, he can't do that anymore. I was freed from his grip, I'm not scared of him anymore.

"Aleks, come on, we're here." Sly says, knocking me out of my thoughts. Oh fuck I never told Mike about Eddie. I'm not sure about Mike's feelings towards me since I moved months ago. Maybe his feelings went away and he's still my best friend. I can only hope.

I don't think I can ever choose, ever, between either of them. I really hope it doesn't come down to that. I get out of the car and fix my clothes and hair. The window was down and is blew my hair all over the place.

Eddie smiled at me and gave me a kiss. "God, you're so cute." He says grabbing my hand. I blushed slightly and walked with him towards school. He always makes me blush, and I think he does it on purpose. I don't mind, it makes him happy.

We walked up to the building, hand in hand. Nothing can ruin my good mood. "Hey fag!" Or maybe it can. I turn around and see my 'step dad' if you can still call him that.

"What the fuck do you want?" I ask, not moving from Eddie.

"You're coming home." He says.

"Nope, staying with my friends." I say tightening my grip on Eddie's hand.

"Like hell you are, you're being your fag ass back home." He says walks towards us.

"I don't think so." I say glaring at him. He reachs out for my other hand, I pull it back. "I did not give you permission to touch me." I say.

"I didn't ask." He says reaching for my arm. I pull back again.

"I said no!" I yell at him backing up a bit.

He lunges at me, I close my eyes, waiting for it. A few seconds pass and I hear someone hit the floor. "He said no, now fuck off!" Max yelled. Wait he's, saving me?

"Why the fuck should I listen to a brat like you?' He asks, Max punches him straight in the jaw. "Because unlike him, I'll beat the piss out of you!" he yells.

"Why would you protect a fag like him?" He asks. The minute those words slipped past his lips, Max decked him in the face, surely giving him a black eye.

"Because I'm a fag just like him." He says looking at me. I keep clinging to Eddie, closing my eyes. "Aleks, I'm sorry I've treated you the way I have been, I was just, jealous." He says sounding close. I peek out from behind my eye lids and he is closer, My step dad was on the floor, grumbling. Max turns around and kicks him right in the side. "Shut up." He demands.

"Max I-" I say quietly before Max cuts me off.

"Don't say anything, let me talk." He says. I just nod and let him talk. "I still, love Eddie, I never got over our break up." He says looking at Sly. "But that didn't give me the right to beat up someone you love." He says, still looking at Sly.

"I just, want you happy. And if he makes you happy, then I'm happy." He says smiling.

"I am happy Max, he's not a bad guy, you just have to take the time to get to know him." Sly says smiling at me. Max then turns to me.

"Aleks, I'm sorry for treating you like shit these past weeks." He says, "And Anthony does speak fondly of you." He holds out his hand. "Think you can give me a chance to, get to know you?" He asks.
