Young, Gay, Love

Chapter 32: Heaven

How could one person change your entire reality? One person can make you rethink your entire universe based on a handful of experiences.

Try imagining eight billion people.

Rob and I exited our room to go to the mall and in the lobby there were millions of people.

"What's going on?" I asked completely puzzled by the amount of people just standing and talking.

"I don't-"

"THERE HE IS!" Yelled a reporter.

"Oh shit. RUN!" Rob shouted and grabbed my hand. We began to race through the corridors to the elevator.

"HURRY, HURRY,HURRY!" I screamed as Rob was annihilating the elevator button.

"I'M TRYING! Just SHUTUP." He gave me a stone cold glare and I immediately felt small.

The elevator door opened and out poured reporters.

Rob held me so close I felt like I was suffocating. What was happening? Who is Rob? Is he even normal? Why are they so interested in his love life?

These were questions that were being answered by the snippets of questions from reporters.

"Does your Father thee Richard Hilton know your gay?"

"Does your sister Paris believe in marriage equality?"

"Why don't you want to take over the Hilton chain? Are the rumors true that your family fortune is actually bankrupt?"

"Is Perez Hilton a family member, or is his name an alias?"

Their screaming Robert, Robert, Robert, all became echoes as I sank into my mind.

"I can't process... I can't... No..."

And with the final no I sank into unconsciousness.

"Babe. Babe you awake?"

I was surrounded in white, my favorite color. White pastries were sitting next to a white glass and pitcher filled with water. Rob was wearing all white, that made his incredibly tan skin glow. There was a white chandelier, lit by real flames, hanging above me. And white blossoming trees and flowers outside my window.

"Wait, am I in heaven?"

"What's going on?" I croaked out.

"You are in Sweden at a special institute. You got pretty knocked out by all those reporters." Rob said with concern. His eyes shown signs of many tears.

"This can not be real. This is not real. There is no way you are-"

"The son of thee Richard Hilton, I know I try to choose to forget that fact too." Rob said, cutting me off.

"Your family does not age well." I said smugly.

"Thanks, another reason to add why I should not be a Hilton." He laughed.

We both chuckled and then I began to cough.

"Shhhh shhh shhh here's some water." Rob said holding a cup up to my mouth.

I swallowed a little bit and laid back.

Rob started to unbutton my shirt.

"There is no way you could be turned on by me right now. I feel and probably look like Gollum." I said trying to break this awful tension in the room.

"Don't flatter yourself. I am just putting some Vick's on your chest." He put a little in his hands and started to rub the soothing cream on my chest and throat. "Besides, you are so beautiful right now. I wouldn't want to ruin this moment by having sex with you."

My eyes started to water. For once I didn't feel like I had to put out. I felt like I could just be me and I would still be loved. No product, no designer clothes, no need for a nice car. Just me.

"Rob... I..."

"Shhh." He said cutting me off again. "Just close your eyes and sleep."

He brought his hand to my eyes and closed them.

I was so happy that I felt like I died and gone to heaven.

Heaven, this is heaven for me.

Daniel, it's been a couple years now and I miss you dearly my friend. This chapter... I hope your passing was just as peaceful as I wrote this. Pain should not be felt by the peaceful. But bliss should be at the core of your being.

Miss you dearly.
