FALLING // Jylan // Brikey

"Tea and Sex"

Jackson's POV
... November 23, -Friday- (the day after Lilly found out she was pregnant)
...

I came and Bryce fell back onto the bedsheets and we spooned til we both fell asleep on his bed...

So here's how the story went...

Me and Lilly walked back to our classes, my next class was Gym. Which, I had with Bryce. We were getting ready, when Bryce came up to me and handed me a note. It read,

"Hey, can you meet me at my house. My parents are gone and I need somebody to talk to. After school 4 o'clock."

I stuck the note in my gym bag, and decided I'll just tell him later. I am still confused as to why he wanted me to come over because we don't usually hang out that much he is usually hanging with Mikey, but I feel like now that Mikey has come out to Bryce that it might get a little awkward. Especially since Mikey and Bryce are different sex positions. We all know that the real bottom is Mikey.

We were lifting in the gym and I went over to do weights on the bench with Bryce. Bryce was spotting me and I said, "yes" out of nowhere, but he shook his head 'ok' as if he knew what I was talking about.

Gym got over and I headed to all my classes after that. Eventually I dreaded walking home.

The bell rang and I got up from my seat. I saw Bryce by my locker so I started heading over. Bryce had his back up against the locker and his foot up with his arms crossed. He looked like a god standing there. I walked up to him, "See you there right?" He said as he stood straight up.

"Yeah." I replied lifting my head a little bit, because this man sure is intimidating. He left with a nod of the head and I started to open my locker putting and pulling the books that I needed and didn't need into my bag. I then walked out of the hell hole.

I didn't have a car so I had to walk home. Lilly would usually drive me, but since yesterday's events, she didn't show up today. And I'm not sure what she's going to tell her parents, but they can be very understanding.

I got closer to my house and I could hear faint screaming. I wasn't sure from where so I kept on walking one step at a time. The faint screaming became louder and louder until I stopped at my house and it was a full on disaster.

I stepped inside and there was my mother's favorite china on the floor broken in pieces. I walked into the living room and I saw my dad swinging at my mother, her arms up to protect herself. My dad screaming words that I wish to not repeat at my mother. I stood there for a second not knowing what to do, I almost blanked out until I heard my mother say "run" as if my life depended on it. So that's what I did, I ran until I was half the way up my street. I stopped out of breath and I did something I knew my mom wouldn't want me to, but I had to. I knew what my father could do, he's done it to me before, when my mother wasn't home.
(Flashback in flashback)
I remember...
It was the day after I came out to my parents at the dinner table. My mom was fine with it, but my dad was shaky. He played it off as if he was okay with it when my mother was around. He expected me to play football, learn how to fix a car, or shoot a gun. He wanted me to be a person I'm not. So one day when I came home from school my mother was grocery shopping and my dad was doing work around the house, I went into the living room and started watching shameless. My dad came into the living room and sat down on the couch, I was scared because Ian and Mickey were walking on the baseball field and we all know what this leads to.
Ian and Mickey came to the baseball box and started making out, this is when I felt my heart beat raise. My dad looked at me in disgust, "That's what you want, huh? You know I don't except 'that'. His fists clench and I gulp nodding looking back at the screen as it switches to another party, thankfully. "You didn't answer me." My father says as he starts to stand up.
