A New Kind of Drunk (BoyxBoy)

What happens at Jacob Macleod's Party... Part 3 of 3

The world stopped, it felt like Nate and I were the only ones on earth. This wasn’t in a “love” situation either, not like the movies, snow white or beauty and the beast; no it was like the end of the world, and we were the ones left over from the chaos. The emotions going through my body was like a stamped, I couldn’t tell what emotion I was feeling. It’s almost as if I couldn’t feel anything anymore, at one moment I thought I felt fear but no. I feel… nothing.

Nate gave me a slightly sad grin, “I… I wasn’t expecting you to be at my party.” He started shaking his head, “I’m sorry.” Shock hit me like a tidal wave. Nate of all people was saying sorry to me? He couldn’t even look me in the eyes.

               

I parted my mouth, to say something, anything to him. To tell him how he almost ruined me and made me come so close to wanting to end my own life. How I loved him so much, trusted him, gave everything I had into trying to make him happy. In the end, I just stood there like road kill. How could I tell someone that I hated them to the point that I wanted them dead? How could someone who you loved so much treat you like you’re nothing?

               

I shook my head trying to erase anything and all things from my head; I wanted to feel nothing again.  “I hate you.” I whispered. The boom of music from the party tuned out my voice. Say it louder! I told myself.

Nate gave me a questionable look, “What did you say?” He got closer to me. Trying to hear what I was trying to say. What I wanted him to hear so badly.

“I hate you.” I said a little louder. I held my head down the entire time. The glances from the people at the party made me want to hide my face. Makes sense right? We were right in the middle of the dance floor.

He got closer, bringing his ear towards my mouth, it made me jump but my body was acting on its own at the moment. I currently knew how this would turn out if he is still the old Nate but… I have to say this.  “Say that again?”

I opened my mouth again, this time making sure that he hears me. “I—“

“He said, ‘I hate you.’” I turned my head, halve expecting Ty to save me from this but no it was Liz. I smiled unconsciously. She put her hands on her hips and said, “So how did you sneak your way in the party? Let me guess, you had sex with Jason sister.” She grinned evilly and moved her damped hair from her wet forehead. She must have been dancing her ass off in here.

“Ah Liz, so good to see you again.” Nate said sarcastically. “And no I didn’t, you forget I’m gay. But I’m sure you had sex with Jason to get in here. How was it?” He smiled at her. She smiled back. And when she smiles like that there’s going to be trouble. Like World War III trouble.

Everyone on the dance floor were done giving us glances, they began staring, whispering to each other. All I could feel was embarrassment. I walked over to Liz and stood besides her, “Liz, everyone is staring. Please just… Leave him alone.” She gave me a side glance, basically telling me to shut my mouth and let her do her thing.

Nate sighed, “Listen, Liz, I’ve changed.” He looked at me but I turned away as quickly as possible. “And I’m truly sorry for what happened between us—“
