A little too broken (boyxboy)

Chapter 18

Chap 18

"My grandparents moved from Zimbabwe to London when they were in their 30s. My grandpa died two years ago."

"So does your grandma have a cool accent?"

"Piss off." Oliver lightly punched Andrew in the shoulder.

"She still speaks the language. I never really picked it up too well. I can't understand some things but I can't speak it for shit."

"Wow aren't you special." Andrew said in a mocking tone. This earned him another punch.

"Are you sure you want me to come over to your grandmothers house?"

"Of course, I thought you might want to take your mind if of things."

It had been two weeks since the incident with Andrews mum. It had been two days since Oliver finally got Andrew to tell him what was wrong. Andrew liked to pretend everything was fine so that he didn't make the people around him worry. He thought he was protecting the people he cared about. The voices had gotten worse so Oliver decided to invite Andrew to go with him to visits his grandmother. His grandmother could make anyone feel better. Plus it was a great distraction.

His grandmother was always very special to him. She was the most important person in his life next to Andrew and his mum.

They got off the bus and walked along the pavement. They couldn't hold hands like they normally do because he didn't want his grandmother seeing them.

"Hello Gogo."

"Oliver how are you? Who is this?"

"Oh Gogo this is my friend Andrew." It hurt Andrew every time Oliver introduced him as his friend.

"Nice to meet you. I've prepared some food but Oliver over hear didn't tell me that he was bringing a friend but I'm sure I can whip something up."

With that they headed out to the garden. When Oliver's grandmother finished preparing food they all say outside and talked.

After they were done with their massive portions. Which Oliver barely ate any of and planned to purge later on. He followed his grandmother into the lounge. She lived in a small quant cottage type house. It was small and white outside with red floors and cream walls. He loved going here but her monster portions were something he dreaded.

"Where's the toilet?" Andrew asked

"Straight down the corridor then the last do on the left."

With that Andrew got up and left to go to the restroom.

"Is he your boyfriend?"

"What." Andrew whole body froze. His blood felt like ice and his heart raced to a stop. How could she have known, he'd never said anything.

"I said is he your boyfriend?"

"Gogo I - I -why would - it's not what-" he continued to stutter like this and his eyes began to water.

"It's okay if you're gay you know. I mean it's not the lifestyle I would choose but if that's what you want then I'll support you. I know your father still hangs on to every thing his father and I taught him. I taught him that it was a sin and that the homosexuals were wrong. But over the years I've seen the world change and progressing, unlike most, I've chosen to progress with it. I've seen the way you look at that Andrew boy. It's the way I used to look at your sekuru. Now I may not approve of this entirely, but life is too short to cut out the ones you care about the most, and Oliver, I love you."

He began to sob and his grandmother did got out of her chair, walked over to him and hugged him. He clutched into her frail body with an iron grip. And he never wanted to let go.
