Breaking Ice

Chapter 24

Steve's POV:

    My mom called me in tears Wednesday night saying that my dad had died. It's one of those things where you don't want to believe it. My parents weren't best friends after they got divorced but with all they went through with Korey and I, I understand why she was so upset.

     Luke has convinced me to go to his funeral. I didn't want to, I didn't want to see him all dead and stuff. I wanted to remember him alive even though he wasn't. Luke said I'd regret not going and I thought it over.

"Amelia can I talk to you?" I asked her

"What's wrong Stevo?" She asked sitting next to me on the couch

"Would you regret not going to your dads funeral?" I asked

"Steve my dads way different then yours, you had him for most of your life. Deep down your dad was an okay guy. Go to the funeral" she said putting her hand on mine

"You didn't answer my question" I asked

"No Steve I wouldn't go to my dads funeral, I barely know the guy. He did nothing for me, except give me all the things I hate about myself" She sighed

"Ahme come with me, to Florida" I said death gripping her hand

"Steve I can't leave the kids here by themselves and I have to work"

"Call off Amelia, Ice can stay with Corey and Hades can stay at Ella's" I said frantically

"Steve it's not Baltimore anymore I can't just pick up and go on a trip, I need to plan it out"

"Fine yeah it's not like I have responsibilities too" I said getting up and leaving

     I know it was wrong to blow up on Amelia. It's no excuse but I'm so stressed out about the funeral. I had to make sure all my shifts were covered at the bar and that Dan ordered all the right things. Luke didn't have any shifts since the accident but he had to postpone his casting for his play. He was so excited it was his first play.

"Steve I'll come, I asked Corey's dad if it was okay and he said it was and Travis doesn't mind and I rescheduled my appointments" She smiled coming into my bedroom

"I'm sorry for snapping at you. I'm just worried about going home" I confessed

A little after Luke and I got engaged we took a trip down to Florida for a week, to visit my mom. When we got there we had an argument and he called off the engagement. I was so frustrated and angry at him, that I got super fucking drunk and went home with a guy from the bar I was at. Turns out that guy was my moms, now ex-boyfriends son. It didn't end well to say the least. It's not my proudest moment.

"Zach isn't in town, I talked to Johnny the other night" Amelia told me

"They still talk?" I asked confused

"They have a daughter" Amelia laughed

"I've missed a lot okay" I laughed

    Amelia and I talked for a while before she left to hang out with Travis. He was a great guy, I'm happy for her.

   Isaac and Jacki came home from school a little while after. We sat for a while watching tv.

"Hey Steve can I talk to you?" Jacki asked

"Of course Jax, what's up" I asked turning towards her

"Can I talk to you in your room?" She said awkwardly

    She seemed nervous about something, which caused me to get nervous. She sat on the edge of my bed swinging her feet.

"What's wrong kid, did something happen at school?" I asked

"How did you know you were gay?" She asked

"Well, it went a little like this. I saw this guy and I was like wow he's really attractive. He's got a nice butt too. Why am I looking at a boys butt. Ahg! My parents are gonna kill me they always say I'm gonna marry a girl. But I didn't know what it meant until I watched a show called Queer as Folk" I explained "where is this coming from?"

Is this what I think it is?

"I think I like Carly" she sighed "she's dating Isaac but before she moved here she had a girlfriend. But I'm dating Corey and I think I got my friendship feelings and my romantic feelings mixed up. I don't want to ruin our friendship" she sighed

"Talk to Isaac, let him know how you feel about Corey. And if you feel comfortable which you should because it's Ice, tell him that you like the disgusting thing that is the female downstairs"

"Steven" She awkwardly laughing and hitting me

"I'm a child of Hoppus" she laughed

"Are you going to tell him about Carly?" I asked her

"I couldn't, how would you feel if Ahme said she had a crush on Luke?"

"I'd laugh my ass off cause he's gay as hell"

"Steve please don't tell him"

"I won't I swear, I'm always here for all your homosexual thoughts and questions my dear niece" I smiled kissing her forehead

"Thanks Steve" she smiled before leaving the room.

Holy shit. Jax is gay? Out of anyone is our family I would have thought Hayden would be gay, don't know why just do.

I went back downstairs and into the kitchen to make some food, and to spy on Jax and Isaac. They were hugging and Jax was crying. My little gay heart.

"AWWW" I said not being able to hold it in any longer

"Fuck off Steve" they both said at once

"JJ is on her way over kid" I told Jacki

"Oh ok" she said with a sad smile

"Are you gonna tell her and Ty?" Isaac asked her

"I need to tell Corey first" she said biting her lip

Jenna came and picked up Jax and I spent the rest of the night in my room. Life was moving way too fast.
