Why him?!

I've missed you

I open my eyes and stare at the ceiling.

I hear Kyle cursing and I sit up.

"God fucking damnit" he yells.

He walks into the room, and sees that I'm awake.

"Oh I'm sorry. Did I wake you?" He asks.

I nod slowly and he laughs at himself, bringing me a glass of water.

"Sorry. I kept hitting my head on those stupid cabinets" he sits in the bed with me, wrapping his arms around me.

"Can I apologize again? Joseph first off, I'm sorry for calling you a f-fag. That was so wrong of me, considering I'm gay. I should've known better. Secondly, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I want to be with you,so please don't question my feelings for you" Kyle looks at me and I start tearing up again.

Why am I so emotional?

"Kyle, I uh. I forgive you. I'm sorry I caused you troubles as well." I look away and try to contain my feelings.

"Joseph just promise me something?" He turns my face towards him.

"Sure" I nod at him.

"No more lies. If something is bothering you, please tell me. If I've done wrong, tell me. Same goes for me, I'm done lying to you" he takes ahold of my hands and waits for me response.

"Yeah, of course. No more lies" he smiles at me and leans in for a kiss.

I kiss him back pull him into a hug.

He leans back and I lay on his chest.

"Ya know, at the school, you called me Joey." I tell him.

I feel him tense up.

"Oh, shit sorry. It slipped. I'm sorry Joseph" he panics.

"No, it's okay" I laugh at him.

"It's okay? Are you sure?" He asks.

"Yeah, for some reason it didn't bother me when you said it." I smile up at him.

There's a knock on our door and I sigh as I get up to get it. 

"Yes?" I ask Austin.

"I thought I saw your car parked here. Why aren't you guys at school?" He asks.

I take a look at him and I assume he was at the gym. He's wearing a muscle tee with basketball shorts, and he's sweating like crazy.

"Oh um" I turn back and look at Kyle, who just shrugs at me.

"Was it Chase?" Austin asks.

"No no! No nothing bad happened. I just couldn't handle all this stuff about Amber. " I tell him.

"Well Joey-Joseph You know that's not a reason to leave school. Mom is already paying a shit ton for us skipping all that time. Please, If You ever feel that way again just go lay in the nurses office" Austin nods at me.

I start to think about what happened in the nurses room.

"What?" Austin asks me.

"Huh? Nothing. Um, dinner will be ready soon. We'll be down soon." I smile at Austin as he walks away.

"He cares about you" Kyle says.

"Well no shit Kyle hes my brother" I laugh.

"No, I'm saying he cares a lot about you. Even though you told him you hated him and didn't want anything to do with him. Yet he's here basically living in our house" Kyle rubs the back of his neck.
