Embrace (BoyXBoy)

Chapter 8

EJ's POV

 I really don't know what I'll do at this point, should I give him a tight hug? should I yell at him for being so away for years without any contact? or being insensitive that he had someone waiting for his words that he will come back?

 I become mixed emotions I don't know what registers on my face because of this unexpected interaction and suddenly tears run down of my check because I can not hold the emotions that I feel at this point. I tried to look away to keep my eyes out of his sight but I never put my hand on my face to hide the tears.

" Why? why didn't you come back Malik? " was all I could say at that moment.

" I am sorry EJ. " I saw sadness in his eyes.

 I forgot to realize that Malik looked different. He is a hunk now compared to his boyish feature before. His shirt is bulking because of his muscles and I admit he is hotter now.

 I slapped my self in my mind. " pervert! "

 He stood in front of me by his knee on the ground, he held my hands in his and started to squeeze it gently..

" I know I did not keep my promise, I really feel awful for that. I swear I do. " I saw his eyes glistened.

 " is he going to cry? " I asked myself.

then he continued....

" come with me and let me take you somewhere else and I will tell you everything. " He stood and let go my left hand but still holding my right one, he tried to pull it a little bit slowly but I took it back quickly to show disapproval.

 I rubbed my hands and gathered my composure. I looked at him with no emotion and started talking..

" I won't go with you. I just wanna go home,  I am tired. " I said softly to show exhaustion.

" I understand but let me give you a ride at least. " He plead in his  words.

 I stand and tried to sound calm..

" I can go home by myself. "  I was about to turn around when he grabbed my arm and plead again.

" EJ let me take you at your place, At least I won't worry. "

" I'll be okay Malik, I just have to move my feet until I get home. It is not a strenuous work compared to moving on your life  knowing that your best friend never said a word in past years. "

 I finally have the chance to turn around and walk away. I feel that my lungs are being gripped of something, I feel that my breathing is involuntary and head is fuzzy, I couldn't even see clearly because of the tears that are glistening in my eyes then suddenly they found their way to run down  on my cheek. I really feel hurt. The hurt is tearing me now . I never felt so abandoned.

 Zander's POV

 I was already in my feet out the school when our dance Instructor held a quick meeting for the up coming event we need to present a dance illustration.

 " what the fu-" I ended my sentence realizing that I will put myself in jeopardy if I finished it.  " I need to go now! "

 It took 10 minutes to finish the short commotion. I hurried outside the school's dance studio and hopped in my car. I started the engine and put the car in it's fast rate to go to the park that my EJ will blind date with. I have a bad feeling of his decisions of jumping into something like dating somebody he doesn't even know.

 I was almost at the park when I turned the wheel to my left that leads two block from the location. I stopped the car when I saw EJ holding his weight on one of the trees at the street he is walking along. I hurried  outside to talk to him, tears in his eyes and sobs out of his mouth. I can't bear to see him like this.
