Unravel (Creek)

Chapter 10

It was around 5:45 in the evening when Gordon's Mom arrived, and Gordon was pretty much hands off since. Tweek figured, with no real actual knowledge of this, that Gordon's parents didn't know that he was bisexual. Tweek found it adorable at how tense and annoyed Gordon was with his mom's open door policy and her need to check on them.

His mom was taken with Tweek and invited him to stay for dinner, and that she was ordering out. Gordon answered for Tweek and Tweek just shrugged his shoulders. When Gordon mention that Tweek loved the piano, Gordon's mother gushed, pulling out music sheet for Tweek to play.

Tweek was a little anxious at first, but once he sat down on the padded bench and felt the keys, the smooth keys, everything felt right that very moment. Tweek could tell Gordon's Mom was amazed, she stood close with a huge smile on her face as she watched Tweek's fingers move.

After a few songs Gordon's Dad and older brother arrive minutes after each other. Kevin grinned when he saw Tweek, but didn't say anything, he just greeted his mom and disappeared up the stairs.

Gordon's Dad asked about Tweek's face, in a direct way. Pointed out that both boys had similar bruises. Tweek realized where Gordon's directness came from. Tweek hesitated, with good reason, and from the way Gordon shook his head he knew he had to come up with a story so he said he fell.

Gordon's Dad's expression told him that he didn't believe the story, but he moved on and asked about Tweek and his parents. There Tweek learned that Gordon's Mom was a lawyers, and Dad was a surgeon which made sense as to why he didn't believe Tweek's story.

After nibbling on the pizza, Tweek decided to head home. Turning down Gordon's Dad offer to drive him home. Tweek was nervous to be in a car with him and all his freaking questions.

It was close to 8:00 in the evening when Tweek got home. Gordon had walked him to the bus stop and would have taken the ride with him had Tweek not beg him not to. As the bus pulled away, Tweek was confused by the feeling he felt. Tweek kind of missed Gordon or was sad he was alone which he found not so strange.

As Tweek unlocked his door, he couldn't believe he cut school and spent lthe rest of day at Gordon's. Tweek couldn't believe that he actually had fun.

When Tweek entered, the house was dark. He wasn't surprised. Right about now his parents would be closing the shop if their closer was unavailable. Tweek went and made him a cup of instant before heading to his room. From the top of the stairs Tweek could see that his lights were on dim in his room.

When he opened the door, Craig was there playing video games with earphones on so it was quiet. Tweek felt numb, frozen at the door unsure what to do.

Craig paused the game when he realized Tweek was at the door.

When Tweek finally had the mind to walk in, he did and closed the door behind him. He went to hang up his backpack and coat, and rest his drink by the computer. He didn't know what to say and Craig didn't help, he just watched him quietly.

"I thought I locked the window. How did you get in?" Tweek asked.

"Where have you been since lunch?" Craig asked.

Tweek bit his lips, as the events of his afternoon flashed before his eyes.

"What do you want?" Tweek asked.

"For you to stop fucking avoiding me!" Craig said angry.

Tweek was startled by his outburst.

"I am not avoiding you, I'm just doing exactly what I told you I was going to do," Tweek replied.

"You dropped a bomb on me, and then fucking told me to leave you alone forever while I figure things out or you would hurt yourself. You think that shit is fair?"
