Rain In His Eyes (A Jaspar AU)

Chapter 6 Turn on Your Heel

WARNING SOME HOMOPHOBIA

Caspar:

I break away quickly, rain pounding my head, soaking my hair and body. My feet turn away, sending me running to Miss. Zoe's room. I know she has a free period. But then I turn a different direction. I turn to the counselors office, Ms. Swan's office. When I arrive all soaked and panting, she immediately sends me to the nurse to dry off. Once I walk through the office door. The nurse looks at me and walks over to me. "Hun what happened, are you alright?" She asked.

"I-I-I'm fine just was walking in the rain with- with my... Friend." I answered.

"Ok hun. Let me get you new clothes and something warm at that. You must be freezing." She stated.

I was freezing. But I was also confused. And happy. And confused. Very confused. What was Joe doing? When the nurse came back with warm clothes and towels, I dutifully dried off and changed. But the whole time my face was blank.

"Mr. Lee?" The nurse asked, "Are you alright?"

I shook my head. I'm far from alright.

"What's wrong dear?" She asked. 

"I'm just so confused." I told her.

"Why are you so confused then hun. What happened?"

"That friend I a
Was talking about, the one I was walking with, he um, he sort of confessed his feelings for me. And even though I feel the same I ran from him like I always do because I was just to confused to confess mine too."

She frowned.

"You mean you're gay?" She asked.

I nod.

"Yes. I'm gay. I think."

She shook her head.

"Get out."

I stumble backwards.

"W-what?"

"Get out. You gays are not tolerated in my office."

I turn around and see the nurses name on the office door; Nurse Hayes.

Instead of walking back to Ms. Swan's office I head back to my dorm. On the short journey there I quietly walk by someone.

That person suddenly stops me by putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Are you alright? Caspar what is wrong hun?" I look up into the eyes of Tyler's mum, Jackie.

"I'm fine Mrs. Oakley just, having a hard time with my romantic feelings toward someone. He confessed his feelings for me and kiss me today." I explained.

She smiles.

"Aw Caspar Hun. That's great. Unless it's Tyler."

I giggle.

"No. I'm pretty sure HE loves Troye."

She smiles.

"Caspar I've got to go take care of some kids that got into a fight. But you need to talk to someone. Go to Ms. Swans office. I'll ask her later."

Great. There's no way out of it.

I turn back to the direction of Ms. Swan's office. Once I arrive I knock on the door.

Ms. Swan opened the door smiling." Welcome back. So, why have you come to talk with me today. Relationship problems, depression, anxiety?" She asked, ushering me inside.

"No. Actually, can we talk about life in general for a bit?"

She looks at me with a strange expression.

"Alright. How about a story?" She responds.

"Sure. Why not."

We sit down. Her office is decorated with pictures of what I guess is her son.

"Well it started about oh, ten years ago, when I was 28." She starts.

"At this point in time I lived in Boston, a city on the East coast. One night I was visited by a young boy, about the age of 10." She told me.

"What happened after that?" I asked in curiosity.

"He told me about how I needed to go with him to city called Storybrooke. He explained that his name was Henry and that he was my son." She said.

"Wait what? Really?"

"Really." She says in a firm voice. "But it gets better. It turns out my parents were Snow White and Prince Charming. And they, along with my new husband Killian, taught me 3 things."

"What were they?"

"That believing in magic is powerful and true love does exist."

"What about the third thing?"

"That family is always there for you."

"Ok, those are great things to remember when life is miserable." I stated.

"Trust me, i should know. So why did you actually really come to talk to me?" She asked.

"I, sort of have a crush on a boy. Since I was new I was talking to some people and they said he was someone you wanted to stay away from because he caused trouble all the time." I started.

"When I actually met him he seemed nice because he was asking if I needed help finding my dorm. Of course I had answered with a slight nod because I was very quiet toward him at first."

"And well, then there was this big misunderstanding. But about an hour ago.... He... Kissed me. And I liked it. A lot. But I ran away so I think he thinks I don't love him. But I do. At least I think so and I don't know what to do." I start crying. "What do I do?"
