Second Chance (BoyXBoy Watty Awards)

Chapter Three: Just one chance

I lay on my bed thinking. It’s been two days since my near death experience. My parents found out about it when the doctor had to phone them up to make sure I was allowed to take this tablets they believed I needed. I didn’t need sod all! But you know what the doctors can be like. Take this just encase. You need this blah, blah, blah.

Then there was Kyle, the boy who saved me. Without him I wouldn’t even be here right now. Kyle gave me his number. It’s sitting on my bedside table with the tablets since I got back from the hospital two days ago and I’ve not touched either one of them since. I’m sort of grounded for pretty much shouting at my mum and calling her useless. Maybe I went too far but I still sort of blame her for all that had happened.

Like being grounded affected me though. Well that was what I thought before my mum took my PS3 from me. This is the main reason why I’m thinking laying on my bed instead of using my time more affected on a game. I guess being my parents failed child probably wouldn’t be changing any time soon but I didn’t really care. I just want my PS3 back.

Suddenly someone banged on my door. “It’s open,” I whispered in hope they didn’t hear me but I frowned when the door opened up to reveal my brother.

“What do you want?” I asked snapping at him.

“It’s Wednesday,” he said to me.

“I know that idiot do you think I’m stupid or some...” I stopped mid sentence is suddenly darning on me. It’s Wednesday. Every Wednesday my family go food shopping. I know sounds weird going on a Wednesday but it’s what my family has always done. I hate going. It will be the only time I go out with my family. The rest of the time I’m in my room.

“Yeah now who is the idiot,” he said to me before he left my room. I got up from my bed and dragged myself after my brother down stairs. This is just going to be great fun. If you haven’t already noticed I hate Wednesday evenings. I hate them so much I try to forget about it until it comes and then I start moaning about it but hey that’s me.

The drive to the big Tesco’s was completely annoying. My mum decided to put on her Eighty’s music and being unprepared I got stuck listening to it while my brother put in his headphones. They say I’m their failed child but he gets to put his headphones in and ignores the music while I listen to it. Doesn’t that show how much I care? How Perfect I am? Yeah I know it don’t prove nothing but at least I can confidence myself. Alright so I don’t confidence myself but there was no harm in trying was there.

Dad drove into the Tesco’s car park near the front which I was happy about. So can’t be bothered to walk too far. I really wish I was still at home. Then again since my PS3 has been taken maybe this is slightly less boring then sitting on my bed doing nothing.

We got out the car and we went into Tesco after my mum fetched a trolley. “Maybe we should put you in it hey Josh since you can’t be left alone for long can you? I mean you nearly got yourself ran over,” he laughed.

“Oh that’s very funny,” I said to him as I thumped him on the arm.

 “No hitting your brother,” said my mother to me.

“And no saying nasty things to Josh,” said my dad. Well at least one of them sticks up for me.

“Why don’t you go and fetch your dad his beers he normally has,” said my mum to me. I looked at her and sighed.

“Ok,” I said walking away from them towards the alcohol section. At least I don’t have to be with them for a little while. It does my head in. I really wish I could sometimes just hit my brother in the face. I got to the far end of Tesco and walked down the aisle towards the beers my dad always has.

I looked at them and pulled out the ones my dad drinks. “Josh,” I heard someone say my name. I turned around to find Kyle.

“What are you doing here?” I asked him.

“I’m getting some alcohol for my mum,” he said smiling at me.

“I’m getting beers for my dad. I better get going great seeing you,” I said before I went to walk away but he gripped onto my arm and pulled me close to him. He stared right at me.

“You never called,” he said to me.

“I will call...soon,” I said to him.

“I know your soon. Your soon will mean never. Why don’t you just give me a chance? I mean don’t you like me?” he asked.

“It’s not that,” I said to him.

“Then give me a bloody chance,” he said to me. Being this close to Kyle I thought I would feel weird but I don’t for some reason.

“Kyle you don’t understand,” I said to him.

“Then give me a chance to understand,” he said to me.

“If I give you a chance will you lay off me?” I asked him.

“I can’t promise you that but for now yes I will,” said Kyle.

“I’m grounded after what happened. For some reason I nearly die and then I get grounded just my life in one really. Look I’ll give you a text. Then you can ring me,” I said to him.

“Why don’t you give me your number,” he stared at me. I hadn’t gave him my number on purpose but clearly he is going to bug me if I like it or not now for it. I pulled out my phone and searched for my number. I gave him my mobile. Kyle pulled out his mobile and put in my number before putting something into my mobile.

“What you doing?” I asked.

“Putting my number into yours like I should have done in the first place...All done,” he said passing me back my mobile.

“I’ll see you around, Kyle,” I said before leaving him standing there and I headed to find my family. As I went to go into the next aisle I saw Kyle watching me very closely. I think he may have a crush on me or he wants to help me but I really don’t need him. I mean I spend my life in my room and I like it that way. Why can’t Kyle just see that?

I found my family down the crap section. If you don’t know what that means, I mean where you can find the sweets, crisps and chocolate. I do have an addiction to eat a lot of Dairy milk. It’s something I eat when I had a crap day at school. So yeah I pretty much have it every day.

“Don’t worry Josh we got your dairy milk,” said my mum.

I put the beers into the trolley smiling. “Thanks son,” said my father. I nodded to him. I wonder if Kyle would actually call. I mean I don’t care, why would I but I’m just wondering if he is really bothered about me that’s all. He could just be pissing with me but then again I have a very good feeling that he is gay.

What am I going to do? I mean seriously. It’s clear it’s not going to be easy to get rid of Kyle. Maybe you think I’m stupid pushing the only person who has acknowledged me but who would want to spend any time with me. I think Kyle is walking into something he is going to regret.

“Josh come on,” called my mother. I ran to catch them all up since they had gone ahead without me noticing. . I caught them up and sighed. Maybe I should just give Kyle a chance. Just one chance and then if it don’t work I can always tell him to piss off.
