You & Me

Two

After a long day of school and football practice, Alexander quickly ran himself through the shower and then hopped on his bed. He opened his laptop and quickly went to message his boyfriend, of course.

Alexander Chapman: Hey baby.
Oliver Preston: Hey..
Alexander Chapman: Everything okay?
Oliver Preston: Just tired of hearing about you hooking up with other people. Girls, obviously.. it sucks.. I want you all to myself, you know?
Alexander Chapman: I know baby but it's our cover.. we got to keep it a secret, you know that.
Oliver Preston: Yeah.. alright.. talk later. bye.
Alexander Chapman: Bye..

Alex then closed his laptop and sat for a minute, sighing. The world knew Oliver was gay, but Alex just wasn't ready to open up about that shit. It was all folded down inside of him. It always had been. He never wanted to disappoint his parents, he always tried his best to keep everything a secret. His sexuality, the underage drinking, the drugs, the hookups, and the partying every weekend. He has always been a good kid in their eyes, mainly since they were always away and never there to see the real him. Besides the fact that he didn't want to disappoint his parents, he couldn't stand the thought of his football team finding out. These thoughts rummaged his head everyday. He sighed and eventually went to sleep for the night.

The next morning, Alex woke up to his phone blown up by the girl he had hooked up with a few months back. She continued to tell him they needed to talk, and to answer the "god damn" phone. He was barely awake, it was 7 in the morning and he had school in two hours. He figured she was over reacting. It must have not been that important, right? He hooked up with her on his Seventeenth birthday. She was only fifteen. Yes, young, but she had the body of a twenty year old model in his eyes. That's no excuse, at all, of course. He was drunk, and he was just trying to get things off his mind. All he remembers is waking up the next day in drenched sheets. Moving on, He hopped in the shower and finished getting ready for school. His phone continued to blow up, it started to irritate him. He just wanted to hurry up and get to school to see his boyfriend. Maybe even hookup. He finally answered the phone, "what the fuck is it man? Is it really that important? Like dude, you were a one time thing.. this isn't permanent. I don't care about what you feel for me, okay? What do you need for fuck sake?"
