Hold Me Close

Chapter Four: I Did What?!

-=Alex=-

The sounds of birds chirping combined with the rays of sunlight on my eyelids woke me up. At first I was oblivious to my surroundings. That was until the warm fuzzy feeling on my chest moved. I jumped out of the soft bed under me, taking the comforter with me to the floor. A voice yipped from the bed, awakening due to the sudden cold. I rubbed the back of my head, massaging it as I stood up.

"Alex?" He asked. It was Evan. And he was naked. I looked down at myself tosee that I was naked too. Shit! I quickly covered myself and jumped out of the door. My clothes were sprawled out on the black leather couch. What the fuck is going on? I grabbed my clothes quickly slipping them on. I heard the door behind me click open, with a now fully clothed Evan walking out.

"Evan, what the fuck is going on?" I ask worridly. "What did we do?" He had his ears back and his tail between his legs.

"Did we..." I started, with him seeming to know what I was implying. He held up a condom. A fresh condom. A used condom. Fuck. I sat on the couch, burying my face in my paws. "Shit shit shit shit shit." I repeated, dragging my face back up and into the light. "I'm not even gay!" I express loudly, still in shock.

"Alex. We were drunk as hell. It was an accident." I knew he was right, but an overwhelming sense of guilt overcame me.

"My girlfriend is going to kill me." I said, only a step away from whimpering. Evan looked like he was about to be sick.

"G-girlfriend?" He asked.

"Yeah. And it isn't like I can just not tell her." I buried my face back into my paws as I got up and walked to the door.

"Alex..." Evan started, but I was ignoring him. I swung open the door and started down the hallway to the stairwell. "Don't tell her who it was!" He yelled in what seemed like fear as I pushed open a set of heavy metal double doors.

I pulled my car out of the parking garage, also taking my phone out of the cup holder on my right. I scrolled through my contacts while I waited for the light to switch at the exit of campus. I clicked on the one that said Cate, taking a second to think before sending her a message.

Me: We need to talk. ASAP. Meet at our favorite restaurant.

I placed my phone, facing away, back into the cup holder. A horn hobked behind me and I looked up to see the light had changed. Ten minutes later I was waiting outside an Italian restaurant, waiting for Cate to arrive. It wasn't long before I saw her blue Altima drive into the spot in front of me. I pinned my ears to my head as I saw her get out of her car. Cate was a tall, short-haired otter, with the most vibrant green eyes ever.

"What's wrong boo? You're making me worried." She said, carressing my face. I flinched at her touch, it seemed wrong.

"I need to confess something..." I said, inhaljng deeply. "I don't know what I was doing, I got drunk with some friends and...I..." I stuttered. "Last night I cheated on you." I finally managed to say, opening my eyes. She looked about ready to cry, and had all the right to as well."

"Who." She said in a whisper, a single tear rolling down her cheek. "What fucking bitch was it. What's her name!" She choked out. I paused before answering.

"Well, you see...it wasn't a she." I answered, rubbing the back of my head. She looked mortified.

"You sick fuck!" She shouted, back handing me across the face before she stormed off to her car and sped away. I touched the spot where she hit, tears streaming freely now. I ignored the stares of the other furs as I got back into my car and drove.

-=Evan=-

I laid on my bed. Blocking everything out as I curled into a ball, hugging my tail. He's straight. I have no chance, especially with the way he reacted when he found out we had sex. I barely remember any of it, just that we were drunk and I somehow managed to seduce him. If anyone else found out, I don't know what I'll do. All my life it has been a struggle with me being gay. But I didn't want to think about that, so i just tightened my curled up form and drifted off to sleep.

-=Evan's Dream=-

"You're what?!" My father screamed, swinging an amber glass bottle in the air. I flattened myself against the couch, trying to hide myself from him in a way. I knew he wouldn't take this well, he never takes anything positively. I gave out a small whimper as he grabbed my head with both of his paws, his small black eyes glaring into mine with malice behind them.

"I-I'm gay." I repeated softly. His breathing became heavier, his nostrils flaring with rage. I could smell the hard alcohol in his breath, and I was scared.

"I. Did not. Raise. A. QUEER!" He shouted into my face. I shut my eyes out of instinct. "Look at you. Pathetic. Your mother gave up her life for a wasteful cause." And with that, he smashed the bottle on the top of my head. I fell onto the floor, blood running down my face, mixing with the golden alcohol. He spat in my face, kicking me until I heard him fall.

"Evan!" A voice screamed my name as they took me into their arms. I was just barely able go pry open an eye to see a green bird holding my head in his arms before I blacked out.
