Oscar's P.O.V

Jack: Hey

Oscar: Hi

Jack: did u ask ur parents about tomorrow yet?

Oscar: shoot, I forgot, I'll go check now.

Jack: lol, ok.

I jumped off my bed, my headphones ripping off my ears. I walked into the lounge and looked around for my mum, she wasn't there. I went into the kitchen and saw her outside sitting on her garden bench.

I walked out and stood in front of her, waiting for her to acknowledge me.

She finally did, 'Hey baby, what's wrong?'

'Nothing mum.'

'Ok, why are you here then?'

'I just wanted to see if it's ok if I walk to school with that boy, Jack, tomorrow. If I can he'll pass by at around 7:45.'

'Um...sure, but it's on you to be ready by then, Ok?'

'Ok, thanks mum.' I gave her a peck on the cheek and walked back inside, putting my headphones back on, drowning out the outside world. I pulled out my phone and text Jack back.

Oscar: she said I'm allowed to walk.

Jack: cool, I'll be there by around 7:45, is that ok?

Oscar: should be.

Jack: ok, cool

Oscar: mum was asking a lot questions, and u basically came up in all of them lol

Jack: lol

I went back to just lying there listening to music, this was my downtime before the boot camp at 6.

Jack's P.O.V

Normally when I got home I would just watch fb, but today I just couldn't concentrate on anything, so I set up my headphones and listed to music. I just needed to think.

Immediately I started to think of Oscar. I think I was gay. I thought about it. It made sense. Why else would everyone else think I'm gay? I'm probably to feminine. Unless it's just a rumour and I don't seem gay? But argh. It was confusing. I'll talk to Oscar about it tomorrow. For now I just turned up the music and let it take over.

I was just lying on my bed, eyes closed, when my mum got home. I didn't hear her come in. She bumped the side of her bed, alerting me to someone being there. I pulled out my headphones and listened to her. She was telling me about how I needed to do something with my life other than lie in bed all day. I just told her that I wasn't feeling too well and just needed time to think and relax, which caused her to ask me all about it, but I didn't say anything.

She eventually got the hint and left.

Finally I was alone in peace.
