You Came Back (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 10

Taylor's POV

Everyone was in my home and I briefly think back to Christmas break when the house was constantly packed. Except for this one was way smaller.
I was sitting on a bar stool, Betty and Chris on the couch, Anna and Alan on the loveseat, and Joe and Micheal on the barstools beside me. Alan had forced me to invite them over when he finally noticed my badly bruised cheek. Now they were fine. Liza was having a sleepover at some friends house and so now everyone was here.

"Any luck with that Kyle kid?" Joe asks. I shake my head.
"I've decided it be best to just forget about him." I sigh. Micheal sets down his beer and nods. Of course, they brought beer. Joe had completely forgotten we're underage, and though Alan was lenient on Christmas break, Joe and Micheal weren't. So now, Micheal and Alan were drinking, and forcing the rest of us to stay sober.

"Are you that's the best thing to do? Your a mess." Joe says.
"Thanks Joe." I say sarcastically and he holds his hands up in mock surrender.
"I'm just being honest. It seems like you need him. You've really heard nothing from him?" I shake my head.
"Sits beside me in English every day, and I still haven't heard a word from him. Not that he talks." I say irritably. What he doesn't know, Keith has continued to give me sign language lessons, and I've been doing my research of it online. I'm actually pretty good at it.

We all continue to just kind of hang out, and around six Micheal and Joe leave. Of course, taking the alcohol with them. Fuckers. I join the others and I actually enjoy myself. It feels like I've been stuck in this trance, I'm not quite depressed; at least I don't think so. I don't like to think one person is the reason for me falling into depression, but I feel hollow. I tortured myself talking to him, but I feel even worse now.

"Are you alright with taking the couch again?" Alan asks and I wave him off.
"We can go to their place if you-"
"It's fine, really Alan." I dismiss. He sighs and nods. Chris and Betty, and Alan and Anna have been taking turns staying at Anna and Betty's house, I'm sure you can imagine whats going on.

"Actually, you guys can take our bed. I think we're going to my place." Betty says. I wolf whistle and she glares at me. I roll my eyes.
"You guys don't have to act like I don't know what's going on when you go there. I just don't see why you four don't all just go at once." They all give me those sad eyes. I roll mine again.
"We just know you're not at your best right now." Anna says softly.
"Guys I'm fine. Really. Actually you know what? Get out. All of you out. I don't care where you go just stop babysitting me." I shoo them. I grab a comic book that belongs to Chris and start shooting them out.
"Taylor-" Alan starts.
"I'm fine. Really. Go have fun." I wink. He rolls his eyes and the four leave. I don't know where they're going and I don't really care.

A few minutes later there's a knock at the door. I open it to see Alan and Anna.
"We're going on a date. I kinda need my wallet." Alan says sheepishly. I chuckle and nod. He grabs it and tells me to take care of myself.

A few more minutes and there's another knock. I sigh.
"I swear to god I told them to get out." I open the door and my anger goes out like a flame in the wind.

Kyle's standing there crying. Oh my god.
"K-kyle." I'm shocked. He goes to grab his notebook and grab his wrist.
"It's okay. I-I can sign. I'll piece together what you say." He looks hesitant, then the new wave of tears begins to pool in his eyes and he just nods. His eyes don't look right with those contacts in, but I stay quiet.
"Shit, come in." I quickly bring him to the couch and we sit down.

"Kyle, what happened?" I ask softly. A choked sob escapes his lips and he latches onto me. I just pull him closer. Once he's calmed down, he'll explain.
"Shh, its alright. You're going to be okay. Shh Kyle." I whisper sweet nothings to him to calm him down.
