"Alex is... Alex is gay"

continued

..Somehow I ended up sandwiched between Elena and Brian in the back seat of my mom's car which was awkward to say the least. Between Elena shooting me questioning glances and Brian's hand brushing up against mine every few seconds I was about to jump out of the car. Luckily it was only a few minutes before mom pulled over to let us out so we could walk the rest of the way. I was just happy to get out of that car and that Elena wasn't walking with us...that was until the cold breeze started to set in. I let out an involuntary shiver partly because the cold and partly because every time Brian brushed up against me a shock of electricity went through me. He pulled me into this semi-shady alley and took off his backpack then his letterman jacket and handed it to me without a word. I had to ask "What are you doing? We are gonna be late" not really understanding. Looking somewhat exasperated he said " You're cold. I'm giving you my jacket. You know being a good boyfriend. Now put it on". I obliged putting my arms through the too long sleeves but stopped him when he tried to walk away. Brian started "What are y..." but my lips firmly planted against his effectively cut him off. Within a minute I had him pressed up against the wall with one of my hands tangled in his beautiful brown locks and the other pulling him closer.When we were really desperate for air Brian pulled away and somewhat panted out " What... What was that for? I mean I'm not complaining but..". Wrapping my arms around his neck I explained " I'm just really happy and you called me your boyfriend. I like that I'm your boyfriend. I really like you and kissing you". He grabbed the lapels of my well his jacket and pulled me into another kiss though this one was sweet and nowhere near long enough. His arms settled around my waist as he said " I really like kissing you to but we need to go to school". I rested my head on his chest for a second before relenting "Fine. Let's go". We made our way to school and to our lockers and homeroom with a few weird looks because of the jacket but without event. Then my phone dinged and panic set in as I opened the text from an unknown number and saw a picture of Brian and I kissing with a text saying " I know your secret fag. If you don't want it out you'll do what I say". My heart dropped and I ran out of the room without a word as tears welled up. I made it to the bathroom before the tears spilled over and Brian came storming in. He crouched down next to me on the bathroom floor and asked gently "Alex, what's wrong?". Not being able to speak I just showed him my phone and he pulled me into a bone crushing hug. Rubbing my back as I cried he said "Oh my sweet Alex. I'm so sorry baby. It's going to be okay. Everything is going to be okay. I'll handle this. Okay. I'm so sorry". He tried to pull away from me but I pulled him back towers me needing the comfort as I sobbed about this dick who just wanted to hurt me because I found someone I like being with. He pulled me back into his chest and I could faintly hear him typing out something on one of our phones. After a minute I sniffles and asked "What did you just do?". He responded " I texted my dad telling him that you were upset about something someone sent you and I was making sure you are okay. Perks of being the vice principals son. Then I texted that bully this" and handed my phone back to me. I read the text that he sent which said "Look I dont know who you are and frankly I don't care. Just because your life is crap and you are a small minded fool who hates everyone doesn't mean you have to spew your homophobic trash around me and my boyfriend. Leave us alone" and immediately my heart soared. I love that he is so protective and caring. I pulled him into a somewhat tear soggy kiss and stuttered out "T-Thank yo-you".He pulled me back into his chest and said "Of course. Anything you need I'm here for. What do you want to do? Do you want to go to class? Or go home?". Curling closer to him I answered " I can't go back to class but if I go home my abuelita will know something is up". He rubbed my back gently and said "Okay. Wait here. I'll go talk to my dad then we'll go somewhere else, okay?". I nodded as he left and pulled out my phone and texted Elena " Hey some stuff happened and I can't stay here right now. Brian and I are going somewhere. I'll explain it all later just don't tell mom ". A few minutes later Brian came back into the bathroom and wisked me away".
