Tristan’s POV
I sit up and look at my weapon. Oh crap. She wasn’t supposed to be home yet. Fury’s eyes look at me with mixtures of betrayal and confusion. I look up at Jack and his face is terrified. Crap.
Spike’s POV
We are racing along the rooftops to reach Tristan’s apartment. Ellie isn’t upset exactly, more worried.
“Ellie, what’s going on?”
“You’ll see in a minute,” she yells back at me, making a sharp turn towards their building.
Why’s she being so mysterious? Whatever. I guess I’ll see in a minute.
We hop off the roof and run into the building, ignoring the glares from the manager, sprinting up the stairs.
We go down the hallway and Ellie skids to a stop. The door to the apartment is ajar. Fury is standing there swaying back and forth.
“Your gay,” she chokes out. I follow her gaze inside to where Jack is sitting on top of Tristan. What the hell?
Ellie walks forward slowly, like a spy being careful not to trip any wires. She rests a hand on Fury’s arm.
Fury spins like a mad- woman, “AND YOU KNEW? YOU KNEW, ELLIE! AND YOU DIDN’T TELL ME?”
“It wasn’t for me to tell,” Ellie murmurs quietly.
“Get off of me! I can’t believe you! And you have the audacity to call me your best friend,” the pain in Fury’s eyes seers into my heart.
“Fury, calm down. Ellie woul-“
“AND YOU TOO! YOU KNEW TOO?” Now she’s yelling at me. “Hey, let’s just keep everything from Fury! It’s so much fun to watch her make a fool of herself!”
“I DID NOT TELL SPIKE,” Ellie yells, looking at Fury then Tristan then Fury again, “it wasn’t for me to tell, so I didn’t! Tristan, you idiot. I knew this would happen!”
“Fury…” Tristan attempts.
The three of them continue their conversation, then I look at Jack. Wait, Jack’s gay? I feel my eyes bug out. His face it bright red.
“Please,” Jack says quietly, “I’m the reason he didn’t tell you Fury. We’ve been dating for awhile, but I’m not ready to come out yet. It’s been really hard for him and I-“ then Jack starts crying. The whole room doesn’t know what to do. Tristan’s frozen. Fury’s freaking out. And Ellie, well, Ellie just takes a giant breath.
I walk over and wrap my arm around Jack’s shoulders.
“It’s okay. We all have our struggles. Yours is just bigger then everyone else, Jack,” I say, “We’re here for you. There’s no judging with our friend’s. You should come out when your ready, but just know we support you.”
Jack looks me in the eyes, “Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. You’re my best friend. Do you really think I’m going to throw you away because you like a different sex then me? Who do you think I am?”
Jack smiles and says, “Ya, I guess it was stupid of me.”
“Ya, it was…” I say playfully, “Now Ellie. How long have you known about our friends over here?” I ask quizzically. Seriously. I mean how long has she been keeping this from us? Damn. This girl is good with secrets.
“Well, Tristan told me he liked boys when he was like eight. I’ve known ever since…” She says simply, “He told me later about him and Jack.”
Fury looks at the floor sheepishly, “I’m sorry for overreacting. You know I’m totally chill with you guys being gay, right?”
Tristan pulls Fury into a bear hug, “Of course I knew. Anyone who watches that much Glee can’t be homophobic…” he says teasingly. She punches him playfully.
“Well, Spike and I are out. I just remembered I left dinner on the stove! Night,” Ellie blurts and pulls me out of the apartment.
Ellie sprints home, but I decide to walk. Why not? It will give the kitchen time to air out the smoke before I have to eat whatever burnt object Ellie is going to try to serve me.
Wait… If Tristan’s gay, then what was all that flirting between him and Ellie? Oh my god. They actually are JUST friends, like she said… I was jealous of Ellie’s romantic relationship with a boy who likes the other sex… I actually face palm myself. I am such an idiot.
When I walk inside there is no smoke.
“It didn’t burn,” Ellie squeals in success.
“Thank God! Can we eat now? I’m starving…”
“Sure,” she says smiling.
The second the bowl hits the table I am shoveling food down my mouth. I look up halfway to see Ellie smiling to herself.
“What? Why are you smiling,” I ask her with food overflowing out of my mouth.
“Because, I just realized what a cool weapon I have.”
My face flushes bright red before I continue to eat.
KAPOWWWWWW that’s a bomb. Surprised? Tell me about it… Comment! Vote!! ILY!!!! XOXO
