Wives and Boyfriends || ForthBeam

Chapter 7

FORTH POV

_____________

Right now I'm still laying in bed because I can't get up, well more like I don't want to. I was also extremly tired, because of the simple fact that I was thinking of Beam all night. I had no idea why. I mean, I wasn't, I'm not, gay. I didn't like Beam like that. All of my sisters shows are getting to me. I mean, maybe they were right. Maybe I should kiss him. Yes! That would solve everything. No! What was I thinking? No kissing.

I growl loudly and turn over to stuff my face in the pillow. The first image to pop in my head was Beam. Him with his cute new haircut. I growled again and got out of bed and stomped to Prae's room.

"Open up!" I said practically banging on the door.

"What do you want?" She asked angrily when she opened the door. I saw two more girls sitting behind her. I knew them, but not by name. And I didn't care if they were here. I needed help.

"I need your help," I said walking past her into the room and flopped down on her bed.

"With what?" She asked coming to sit next to me on the bed and letting me lay my head in her lap as she started to play with my hair.

"Okay, so say that you meet someone of the same sex. Before that you meet someone of the opposite sex, you've only ever dated the opposite sex. But this person you meet, of the same sex, just has something about them. You're not sure what because you've never experienced these feelings with someone of the same sex. What do you do?" I questioned. I heard her and her two friends giggle.

"Big brother, you like Beam." She said causing me to shoot up and look at her with wide eyes.

"What are you talking about? I never said anything about me and Beam." I said chuckling nervously. She laughed again and shook her head.

"You needn't lie. I know." She said patting my shoulder as she continued. "I may be young, but I know everything. I mean, how can others not notice how you look at Beam?" She questioned laughing. I looked at her confused.

"What do you mean?" I asked. She laughed again and shook her head.

"Forth, you look at him all the time. You stare at him. I'm sure he noticed." She said. I chuckled nervously.

"You think? I hope he doesn't think I'm weird." I said thinking back to all the times we've been together. I mean, he did agree to go to the movies with my friends and I. He can't think I'm that weird.

"I'm sure. But that is beside the point. You like Beam. You think Beam is cute. You have feelings for Beam." Prae said. I looked to her friends who just nodded. What did they know?

"How do I figure out if he has the same feelings for me that I may have for him?" I questioned. No matter what they said I wasn't going to believe some thirteen-year-olds saying I'm gay. I needed to figure this out by myself. I needed to know his feelings before I knew mine.

"Well, Thursday is when we are going over there next for dinner. Beam's boyfriend is also coming over. Try and get a seat next to him, or across from him. Somewhere he will look or can be touched easily. Compliment him a lot. Touch his arm every now and then. Touch him under the table." I could tell she was getting excited, so I had to stop her.

"Prae, this is for me figuring out my feelings, not so you can write one of your fanfictions." I said looking down at her. She sighed and shook her head.

"It's not only for me. This will help you. Just see how he reacts." She said. I shook my head and shrugged.

"Why can't I just do this tomorrow?" I asked, thinking about the movies. Prae looks at me confused.

"What are you doing tomorrow?" She questioned.

"Going to the movies." Prae and her friends gasped and stood up.

"You're going n a date?" She asked. I laughed and shook my head.

"No. He is just going to the movies with me and a few friends of mine. There is nothing that is going to happen. It's not a date." I said, trying to convince her, and maybe myself, for some reason.

"What if your friends canceled on you? Would it be a date then?" She questioned. I shook my head at her.

"Prae, what are you thinking?" I asked. She shrugged.

"Just usual stuff, you know. It's late. We are gonna go to bed. Night." She said before forcefully pushing me out of her room. Not giving me any time to reply. What the heck?

I headed back to my room and laid down on the bed. She wasn't as helpful as I thought she was gonna be. Maybe, she had a point though. Would it be a date if they canceled? I mean I hadn't said anything about it being a date. I picked up my phone an dialed my friend's number.

"Jag," I said as he answered. "So change of plans for tomorrow." I said. He didn't say anything and let me continue. "I can't go to the movies with you guys. I'm," I paused trying to think of a word. "Busy." I finally said.

"Oh, um, okay. We can go another time." He suggested. I laughed and nodded to no one.

"That would be perfect. See you guys soon." I said before hanging up.

Is it wrong that I just canceled on my friends to hang out with a guy I didn't even know if I had feelings for, let alone if he liked me back, on a date that isn't even a date, but I kind of want it to be? Did that even make any sense?

I need sleep.
