No place to go

Cade

I needed to go somewhere, and I couldn't go to any place I knew. My dads would look for me, and I needed some time. It's a lot to take in to find out how you came about.

I found myself at someone's house. I didn't even know why I was here. I just knew I needed to talk to someone. I knocked on the door, and they let me inside.

I sat there as they paced back and forth in front of me.

"So, let me get this straight. Your whore of a birth mother shows up and hates the fact that two loving people are raising you because they are gay?"

"Pretty much," I shrugged.

"Is she on crack?"

I looked at them.

"Instead of you are staying and hearing them out, you left and came here? Are you on crack," they asked me.

"No," I said with a look. "I needed to think."

"Think about what?"

They took a seat and looked at me. "Do you think that's something your dad wants to tell his son, Cade? Oh, hey, I had a one-night stand with some whore and guess what, here you are. It was a mistake that happened but resulted in the fact you got two amazing people out of the deal," they explained to me. "Plus, it's not like they can say, oh hey, I had a drunken night, slept with someone I don't remember, and got a kid out of the deal," they added.

I looked at Andi.

"You can either sit here and moan about someone's poor choices, or you can talk to them. Get their side of it," Andi reasoned.

I knew she was right; now, I needed to calm down. I didn't want to say something I would regret.

Andi, let me stay for dinner and hang out. She was pretty cool. She was no-nonsense, and that's what I liked about her. She sugarcoated nothing when she talked to you. I believe this was the start of a beautiful friendship.

Julian

I went to a coffeehouse. I had too much on my mind. I was still trying to figure out how to tell my parents and my friends. I know Cole was right, but I wasn't ready, at least not yet.

I took a seat at the counter, and Elias walked over to me. "What can I get you?"

"I didn't know you worked here," I asked a bit surprised.

"Yeah, I work what I can to help with school. With three of us, my parents have enough on their plate," he said.

"Can I get a coffee?"

"Yeah," he said as he went to get a coffee for me.

Damn, there was something about him. Not to mention he was freaking hot as hell. I couldn't help but stare at him. I mean, who wouldn't. He was fit, had tats, dark hair, and the fullest lips I ever saw.

He returned a few minutes later and set the coffee in front of me. I paid him, and he responded with my change.

"So, mind telling me why you've been staring at my ass for the last few minutes," he asked with a knowing look.

"I wasn't staring," I denied.

"Uh, huh? Tell someone who believes your shit," he replied.

I looked at him. This guy was something else.

"Let me guess, you're gay but have told no one."

I stared at him wide-eyed. Is this dude a mind reader?

"You're also afraid of what people will think. Am I getting close?"

I nodded. I had no words right now.

"Here's the thing; The only one that worries about this is you. You judged the people before they judge you. I highly doubt they will care if you tell them. If they do, then they're a piece of shit. Understand," he asked me.

"You sound like you know something about this." I took a sip from my coffee.

"Well, considering I'm openly gay, I would say so," he said to me, making me choke on my coffee.

He walked over and patted my chest as I grabbed napkins to wipe my face.

"There, there, no need to go choking."

Once I got my composure, he walked back behind the counter.

"Thanks," I coughed.

"No worries," he said, leaning on the counter.

I finished cleaning off the coffee. Ever have coffee come out your nose? It's not pleasant.

"Now, what do I have to do to take you out," he asked me as I stared at him.

"Excuse me?"

"You and I are going on a date; it's straightforward. I ask you out; you say yes, we have fun," Elias smirked.

"You want to take me on a date?" I looked at him, confused.

"Yeah, that's usually what two people do when they're highly attracted to each other. Haven't you ever been on a date before?" Elias asked me.

"Well, uh, not exactly. I mean, I've been with guys just not like a date," I said, shifting in my spot. Does hooking up and having sex count?

He arched an eyebrow at me. "Let me guess; it's all about sex with you?"

"No, uh, I mean, well," I said, fumbling my words.

"Julian, hooking up and having sex isn't dating, and it sure in the hell is stupid," he told me emphatically.

I furrowed my brows.

"Not only is it careless but dangerous," he explained. I didn't know what to say. It's all I knew. From the first time it happened, that's what happened all the time-in a secluded area, having sex, then going home. They always told me that you could have sex without being in love. People do it all the time. I just figured that's how it was.

"Look, I'll tell you what, I will take you on a date and show you what a proper date is if you don't like it, then we never have to go out again. Deal?"

"O-okay," I stuttered.

We talked more, and I had a feeling Elias was about to change my world. I didn't know if it would be for the better or worse, though. I also had a feeling things were about to get crazy when my past reared its ugly head.
