Memories

Evan's Pov

With Jon in my arms and Mrs. Patt by my side we made our way to the nurses quarters. I held him close, like the whole world was in my hands. I gently sat my chin on his head as I ran. He's my whole world right now. My face seemed to smile on its own as I thought of him and are first encounter.

Three years ago...

It was a warm fall day at a local middle school. Us "cool kids" stood under the large oak tree across from the girls little gossip groups. I remember it so clear, the boys from our group would show off their stride as they walked up to the ladies. All they would do is say "hey baby you'd look pretty cool...next to me" and poof all the girls are all over him.

Like seriously I hated that, and I really didn't know why, nor wanted to know why. I just kind of let it ride until, until I saw Jonathan. He was always standing next to the teacher talking. And at the time back then I wasn't a real good kid so the teachers never really hung out with me, or wanted to. I guess that's what I get for making wise cracks in class. So because of that I just settled on watching him from a far, and that worked for me. Everyday I did that, I walked over to the tree and started starring at him.

I watched his little shared laughs with the teacher, and him helping out other kids with their homework. It, it was perfect, at least to me, until something happened. One day he came to school with a bruise on his face. I wanted to ask him, but something was holding me back. I tried to push myself to do it it's just every time I tried to walk forward I ran back, I couldn't do it, it's to awkward.

So instead of worrying about that I settled on looking at him. His perfect dark hair and blue eyes took my breath away when ever I saw him. And his uniform fit just right on his curves, man he still has those curves today! But no matter how hard I tried I couldn't figure out what this feeling was, all this is just a long distance friendship right?

I needed to know the answer and at this point and the only thing I could think of doing is telling my parents about it.

When I got home that day another after school detention I ran up to them. They barely had gotten out of work and were tired so I tried to keep it quick. I made them sit together on the couch, and I just spat it out. Everything that I felt everything that I did I told them. My face turned red and my eyes watered as I talked about him.

The room then went silent as I remembered them sharing a quick glance before my mom spoke up quietly," Evan I think, I think you're gay." My face turned blank as my father looked down at his shoes.

He then looked up quickly and said in a happy tone "that's good my boy! just remember...ya still better play hockey!"and he punched my arm slightly. We all shared a laugh as I walked away, I felt something hit my back and looked behind me. It was a piece of paper tapped to a rock...and all it said where as fallows.

Dear Brother,
It's only a faze. Get over it.
With respect, your sibling

I looked to where it was thrown from and found my sister run past a corner, I looked down at my feet and mumbled to myself,"maybe this is just a faze.." as I walked upstairs to my room.
