The Alternate Life

The Beauty Of Life-PART 3

------ FLASHBACK-------

It was recess. Olive was playing basketball, something he actually enjoyed. He loved being competitive, and it helped him hide his darkest secret. Mikey would watch him play, he enjoyed anything Olive did. Olive helped Mikey get out of bad moods easily. Mikey claimed a fence so he could watch Olive play basketball everyday. His butt is literally engraved into it. Every once in awhile Mikey gets bored and tells Olive to go to the bathroom with him. Nobody knows what they do in there.  The bell rang, it was time for Mikey to go English and for Olive to go to History. Olive's History teacher was a dumb old man with a ginormous beard (everyone knows a squirrel lives in it). *cough cough* "who here is Muslim?" *cough cough* "oh no"   Olive thought to himself. Literally every week Ducile Trumpet did checks on every Muslim in the country. Whoever didn't pass were sent to die. 

Olive got up. "I am ," he said. Nearly half the class snickered. Olive could feel his face getting really red. Only 4 people had sympathy for him, the group of girls who always stood up for him. He could see the fear in their eyes. Olive brushed his hair up, where you could see the broken cross heated onto his forehead. He walked to the front of the school where a whole truck was filled with Ducile Trumpet's fat white men. They saw Olive standing there, with his broken cross heated onto his forehead. They walked up to him. "are you a part of ISIS, have you planted any bombs, are you planning to create a bomb." "no." The guard grabbed Olive and shoved him into the truck. Ducile Trumpet sat there with his cup of tea. When Ducile Trumpet saw Olive, he snickered. "you ain't planting any bombs when I'm here." "I'm not going to plant any bombs." Ducile Trumpet got up, grabbing his baseball bat. "you're Muslim. You are a terrorist, you don't belong here. You're a worthless piece of sh--". Ducile Trumpet smiled and shook his hand with Mr. Yerga. He put the baseball bat away, and patted Olive's back. "You can go now," he said to Olive. Olive shivered and walked back to History. He was so close to whacking Trumpet. He would prove to Trumpet he was not what he thought he was. 

Olive walked home alone, ashamed of his religion. He started looking around for his keys so he could open the door and cry on his bed. "OLIVE WAIT UP!!!" Olive turned around and saw Mikey chasing him. "What's wrong Olive?" Olive shook his head and forced a smile. "Oh nothing." "Olive, something's wrong. Martha told me you got sent to another one of those Trumpet inspections. You OK?" Olive turned around and put his shoulder on Mikey. "Go Mikey. You don't want to be seen with a Muslim." "Oh my Olive I don't frolicking care if you're Muslim. Just tell me." "Trumpet was this close to whacking me with a baseball bat. Then Mr. Yerga came in and got saved." Mikey widened his eyes and gave Olive a big hug. "ARE YOU OK??????" "OmiGod Mikey someone might see please!!" Mikey winked and slapped Olive's butt. Olive surprisingly liked it.

"Mikey wake up." Mikey woke up and looked around. They were literally on a plane, flying over mountains. "OH MY GOD HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN ASLEEP HOW DID YOU GET ME ON A FROLICKING PLANE." Olive laughed and put his arm around Mikey. "Please don't embarrass me," Olive whispered. "We're going skydiving." "SKYDIVING?! WHAT OLIVE I AM FRICKIN AFRAID OF HEIGHTS ARE YOU CRAZY I COULD DIE DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE IS THIS YOUR WAY OF BREAKING UP WITH ME--" Mikey was interrupted by the pilot. "Everyone please put on the jumpsuits we have provided for you. I will let you know on when to jump." "AHHHHAHHA OLIVE PLEASE NO TELL ME THIS IS A JOKE" Olive grabbed Mikey and put his finger on his mouth. "Hush babe. We'll jump together. You'll be fine." "AM I GOING TO GET HURT?!" "Ah, I can't promise that." Olive put his hand over Mikey before he could say something else. "You need to step out of your comfort zone more often. Trust me, it's healthy and many people have done it before." "AND MANY PEOPLE FRICKIN DIED FROM IT BEFORE." "Don't think like that babe. It's fine." Mikey exhaled and inhaled, and started crying. Had his husband gone crazy?

"Everyone get ready to jump." Olive grabbed Mikey's hand and brought him over to the door. Olive kissed Mikey on the cheek and smiled. "Take my hand, take my whole life too, for I can't help falling in love with you.." "3... 2.... 1.... JUMP!!!!" Olive took Mikey's hand and jumped.

"MAHABHARATA!!!!! MY STOMACH HURTS OLIVE!!!!" Olive let go of Mikey's hand and smiled. "Get out of your comfort zone. Have some fun." And with that, Olive put his arm to his sides and started flying down at record speed. Mikey got really scared and started crying into his hands. He felt like throwing up, this did not feel good. Mikey shook his head and decided to just give it his all. He put his arm out on his sides, and... HE WAS HAVING FUN!!!! Mikey screamed and yelled and started singing out loud. He started dancing in the air. Mikey started to panic when he could see the ground, but thankfully remembered he had a parachute. *pow!* Mikey landed safely onto the green grass. "YEAH! THAT WAS AWESOMEEEE!!" He looked around and saw everyone huddle together. Mikey walked towards them and saw, someone had not made it down safely. Mikey started to panic, was that Olive? No matter how much Olive annoyed Mikey he still loved him to pieces.

"Poor Olive. Must've hurt." "WAIT, ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT IS MY HUSBAND OLIVE?!" "Uh, he was your husband? Go check." Mikey walked over and got a good look at him. It wasn't Olive.  Phew. Poor other guy called Olive. Mikey didn't want to seem too excited that it wasn't his husband though. 

"Olive?" "over here bae." Mikey ran over to a tree, where Olive was laying. "um are you OK." "no." Mikey lay down by his side. "Now what happened?" Olive turned to Mikey's face and groaned. "There was a guy... when I landed. He took one look at this dumb broken cross and literally screamed. His eye started twitching, like am I really that terrifying Mikey?"  "Oh Olive, ignore the haters." "You don't know, it's impossible to ignore it." "Well, then just look at my beautiful face and all your worries will be gone." Olive and Mikey laughed at the same time, and slapped each other's legs. 

"OK Mikey don't forget to pack anything," said Olive. It was their last day in Paris, since the past 2 days they stayed in their hotel room cuddling. "I was missing Bubba Baby." Olive got out his phone and took a picture of Mikey. Mikey was stunned and made a very stupid face. Olive smiled and posted it on Instagram with the caption "My Beautiful Boyfriend". Mikey saw it and laughed. "Thanks for being honest."
