I just stand there next to my yellow door trying to process what just happened. Am I sleeping? And I'm just dreaming everything that's going on now.?
I pinch myself.
Dammit.
Not a dream. Just reality.
I take a deep breath and turn my head out into the hallway and see like millions of boxes. What does he think he is moving in five people !
I pick up some boxes and make my way down the hall. I can see him on his bed with his hands on his head. On his lap looks like a picture. I take a few steps forward, thank god the floor doesn't creek.
I look down and see a picture of us before everything happened. We were messing around that day and my lips are on his checks. His face red with a smile plastered on. His hand is in my hair. And you can tell by the side of my face that I'm laughing while kissing his check. That day was unforgettable.That was the day I told him I was gay. He was happy I told him.
I laugh at myself quietly as I set the boxes next to his feet. He turns his head slightly at the boxes.
"That day was amazing. I love that picture." I say that with the truth. He looks at me and gives me a small smile.
"Do you always run around here with only underwear on?" He humors me.
"No. . .I was cleaning. Grace is a ass." I said shyly. I starch the back of my head. I feel a little werid inside. Mhhm ..
"So.. " He starts to say " You really live in this place all by yourself dude?"
"Naw. I live with my epic underwear" I say that with pride. Then I laugh. "Yeah I live here myself. Nothing exciting happens around here. Just me myself and I."
"Well. Since I'm your new roommate , we can start new. Just start fresh. Like nothing ever happened?" I can see plead in his eyes. " I missed you Ethan. 4 years is hell of a long ass time not knowing what your best friend has been up to. And not seeing you."
I look in his eyes."Spencer , you did something that is hurtful. You promised me you wouldn't tell a soul. Yeah I know it was two weeks before we graduated high school. But I told you sercet and you promised." I looked down at my feet. Damn! I got some big feet. . . .
"I know that. And I promise you on BOTH our lives, I didn't tell anybody! I told you that 4 years ago , and I'm, telling you again Ethan! I didn't tell a soul!" I was standing now. Face to face. His face was red from yelling. His tone in his voice was shaky. By the look in his eye , I think he was telling me the truth. I don't understand why I didn't believe him then. But I do now.
"Yeah , then why did Grace tell me that you did?" I put myhands on my hips.
"For as long as I known , Grace hated me because I had a connection with you that she didn't have with you. Before she knew you were gay , she was madly in love with you. I know because I dated her best-friend. Which was a mistake , I must add. She said she wanted to get rid of me because you spent all you time with someone like me!" Is this even true? Grace is my best friend. She wouldn't say anything like that. Would she? " She's a evil bitch Ethan and you and I both know that." He said that last part sternly.
I stare into his green eyes. Knowing that he is right. For the past 4 years Grace has kept me from dating guys I liked. And they liked me back.She just kept saying, "Oh , they just going to use you for a quite fuck. That's all." At first I thought she was right telling me that they just want to use me but after a while , she would say the same thing over and over. And that's when I thought she doesn't want me to love anyone.
"Spencer," I whisper his name. " I think your right." After I said that I took a step forward and inbraced him with a hug. A long lasting hug.
