Time Runs Out for Everyone. {{ON HOLD}}

Chapter 2

(Liam)

Sup! Names Liam Shawn Clark! I'm one of the most popular guys in my school, the ladies love me, but... I'm gay. I have insomnia and its pretty bad.. You see I'm a jock, that requires to have energy to be awesome. I play football, basketball, soccer, and track...

Besides having insomnia, my life is sweet. I'm rich, I have happy parents, I'm Christian, and have lots of friends.
So really everything's pretty great!

∆∆∆∆

Alarm blaring, I sluggishly get out of bed and to the shower to wake up. When I got out I grabbed jeans and a green T-shirt to put on. But before that I grabbed and put on black under briefs. Looking for some socks I find some by the hamper and stuffed them on along with my shoes. Running downstairs I eat whatever my parents had made before I have to run up stairs to fix my hair and brush my teeth. After a while my little brother then barges through the bathroom door smiley widely. "Today's the day!" He giggles. He's the only one in the entire family that knows I'm gay, and he respects me for it too. I smiled and chuckled roughing his hair up and ran downstairs to wait for my brother. And not too long he's bounding down the stairs, running to me with this goofy smile plastered on his face.

"Gee kid, why so happy?" Our father asked, an amused but skeptical smile on his old face. My brother just shrugged before taking my hand and pulling me out the door, saying our byes'. My brother and I pile into my car and I drive off toward school. On our car ride to school my brother squeals, "So, how about we go over the plan?!" I chuckled nodding.

"Okay, well. The plan was that I would get everyone to be nice to Anderson Charles. And at lunch I would confess that I was gay, and that I like Anderson. And if I can't today I would just tell him in private that I like him and that I'm gay." I said, making sure I go over every possible way this day could go. Smiling that this was hopefully going to be wonderful. My little brother smiled and nodded, patting my back letting me now he was there for me.

When we arrived at school I parked and locked it after we got out. My brother immediately raced to class to be there early and I walked to my locker to get something. After I had gotten what I needed my best friend Asher came up behind me and slapped my back smiling. Making me coughed and turn around to glare. "What the hell man?!" I coughed more before I slammed my locker shut. Asher grinned, holding his hands up in surrender chuckling, " Whoa man, just playing around. So what's with your message?" I sighed and got really nervous. "Um.. How do you feel about.. gays?" I asked, hoping that he won't hate them. He sighed and smiled, "I'm okay with them. I have lots of cousins who are bi, gay, and lesiban. I wouldn't hurt them.. Don't you remember meeting one of my cousins?" Trying not to cry tears of joy or happiness, I think back trying to think of meeting one of his cousins..
Wait.. "Ohhhh! Joseph!" He smiled nodding. Maybe I should tell him I'm gay.. But before I could the bell rung for first period, and we split up to go to class.

∆∆∆∆

By the time 5th period rolled around I was really nervous. Next was lunch, the time to tell everyone that I'm gay.. But unfortunately I have to retake a test.. Fuck! I guess I'll just write a note for Anderson to meet me outside the school, behind it and then I'll tell him..

∆∆∆∆

During lunch was horribly slow, I mean I was retaking a test so duh. But now I was sitting in my 7th period debating if I should even do this.. Should I tell my own crush that I'm gay? Should I tell my best friend?! Deciding for it I take out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote,

Dear Anderson Charles,

This is Liam Clark. I was wondering if you'd meet me behind the school today. But after school. I would like to tell you something.

Sincerely,

Liam Clark. :)

I then folded the paper neatly and smiled to myself. Hopefully he'll come. Now just to.. Um tell my best friend Asher. Looking behind me I smiled at Asher. "Hey bud, can I tell you a secret?" I whispered to him. He nodded so I continued, "Well, I'm gay." He just stared at me for a really long time. Before I could interrupt the tense air around us, he jumped up-in the middle of fucking class- and freaking hugged the fuck out of me! Everyone just stared at us for a little bit before looking away. After he stopped hugging me, he fist pumped the air and smiled like a goof ball. What the...

I just stared at him with this confused face until he spoke, "Dude.. I've been waiting for you to say that! We all knew you were gay for a while, but we didn't say anything and just did our normal business.." I then got angry because they've been hurting my crush-well not Asher- all this fucking time while they were fine with it! "Why didn't you guys stop hurt Anderson then!" I yelled getting a look from the teacher. Trying to calm down I handed my best the note. "Give this to Anderson please.." I whispered before sitting down.

∆∆∆∆

The last bell rung for everyone to go home, but I did the opposite. I walked behind the school waiting for Anderson, hoping this doesn't take long or my soccer team would come out to find me. As time passed, I was starting to get scared he decided against meeting me but then I saw him turn the corner and was about to leave when I called out, "Anderson.. I didn't think you'd come.." He stopped walking and after a while he turned around and looked at me. "H-hi." He sputtered. Smiling nicely I started walking towards him. Wondering if I should continue with what I was doing.. I nodded internally. Yes I should. "So, I was wondering.. Anderson.." I stopped in my tracks wondering if we needed more privacy, deciding for it I pointed to the woods behind me. Solfty speaking I said, "Wanna talk alone.. You know more privacy.." I waited for a while seeing him have a mental battle inside his head and finally he gave in from the looks of it. "S-sure." He replied with a softly spoken voice. I kept smiling, grabbing his hand I then lead him to the woods. When we reached a good spot I turned around to face him. But when I had, I noticed he just stared into space thinking. Getting a bit weirded out I snapped my fingers in his face to get his attention. After a while it had work, being concerned about him I asked.

"Anderson? Are you OK?"

He shook his head no at first but then nodded, blushing. He spoke after saying, "Uh.. y-yeah sorry..."
When he said that I smiled faintly before it went away, looking around to make sure no one was here. I mean true some kids are okay with gays but not all. Some are scared to either be around them or amit they're gay. While I was thinking I heard a irritated voice speak, whipping my head toward Anderson he said, "Liam is there something you wanna say to me?" He sounded as if he needed to hurry up. Maybe a job? Parents? Boyfriend?! Hopefully not the last. I just nodded softly looking down I spoke, "I-I wanted to tell you that I-" before I could finish my sentence my soccer team came out and yelled, " Yo! Bud? What the hell?!! Why are you talking to this fag?!" Seeing Anderson panicked face I spat out something- something that I will always regret -

" Cool it bro.. I was just asking him if he could do the project for Science because i'm busy and i don't want his germs." To act like this was true, I snickered. Looking at him, I noticed he was standing still his face down.
"So little fag, you heard him! Get going!" My team captain yelled. He shook his head no, still face down. Shit! He shouldn't of done that! And before I knew it, my team captain stalked over to Anderson, and with the rustle of leaves. Anderson looked up and as clear as day his eyes widen in fear. What have I done! Why couldn't I just tell everyone that I was gay! Panicking I stepped in between my captain and Anderson speaking out, "Dude don't waste your time on this pathetic shit fag. Come on let's go.." And we walked off. Trying not to look behind me I just listened to them speak shit about the one I like..

∆∆∆∆

After soccer practice I showered and went to wait by my car for my brother, and not to long he's running over to me worried? "Hey, what's wrong little bro-"

"Is it true! Did you panic because your team came out?!" He asked. Once I remember what happened I looked down feeling really bad. Sliding down the car, I landed on my butt tears steaming down. Looking up at my little brother I nodded. He just gave me a pitied look and comforted me, and we were off. Back home..
