Hospital Walls || l.h.+a.i. [lashton boyxboy]

Chapter 2

Ashton's POV:

3.45pm

I walked through the door of my home and saw my mom in the kitchen. She smiled at me and turned back around to whatever she was cooking.

I walked into the living room to greet my siblings Harry and Lauren. They sat in front of the TV and watched some episode of Spongebob Squarepants. Lauren turned her head to me and jumped off the couch and ran towards me to hug me.

We were always a really loving family even after my dad left but who cares, right? He didn't care about us so I don't care about him.

I hugged my little sister back and hugged Harry after that.

"I'm going to do my homework now. Call me when dinner is ready." Harry nodded and I went to my room with my backpack still over my shoulder. I slowly closed my door so it didn't make too much noise.

To be honest I don't understand how the neighbours could scream all the time.

This boy, Luke or something,  is in a few of my classes and I never got to know him.

He's one of the popular guys and he's really hot. He has like 50 friends who sit with him on a table at lunch everyday while I'm just with my friends Michael and Renai.

I maybe don't have that many friends, but I have the best friends. They helped me when I came out.

They stayed with me.

And also my friend Isaac did. He is blind and that's why he can't be at out school but he's an amazing person. He also stayed with me.

That's why I love my friends.

*flashback*
My hands were sweaty as I sat on my bed and stared at my phone.

Should I call?

Today was the day I wanted to tell everyone I was gay.

With everyone I mean my family and friends.

When I was 14 I realized I was kind of different because I fell for a boy I met once. He was the son of my mother's friend. I always told myself that I couldn't be like that and that it was wrong but my heart told me otherwise.

Now I'm happy.

My finger flew over the call button. Was I actually about to call Michael to tell him I was gay?

Yes! Do it! He is your best  friend since kindergarten. He won't judge you.

My head was right. He was my best friend and he'd never judge me. I finally pressed the call button and waited for Michael to pick up. It felt like hours that passed before I finally heard his voice.

"Hey, Ash!" His voice was chirpy and loud. I smiled at his happiness and tried to say something but it felt like my throat was tied up.

"Hey Ash, are you okay?" I could hear his smile faint and immediately felt bad.

"Yeah um, Mike.. I have to talk to you!" I looked at my shaky hands and gulped.

"Shoot it, bud. You know you can tell me anything!" I took a deep breath and made a spontaneous decision in my head.

"Can you come over? I'd like to tell you face to face." I heard something bang through the phone and there was a knock on the front door. "Wait, is that you?" I stood up and walked to the door, tripping once, and opened it. Right in front of me stood Michael with a large grin on his face. His hair was a slight lilac and he wore his usual band tee and skinny jeans.

"Come in.." I didn't ask to bother why he actually was here before I told him to come over but we sat on the couch and Michael looked at me, waiting.

I took a deep breath and ran my fingers through my hair.

"Well, this isn't easy and since you're my best friend, or brother, I wanted you to know it first and .. um.." I stopped myself and looked into Michael's eyes. "I'm gay. That's it. If you want to judge me, then please leave because-"

"Ashton!" He cut me off and I flet myself blush. "Ash.. It's okay. I really don't have a problem with this and I'd never ever judge you for anything!" I smiled and hugged him.

I know exactly why Michael is my best friend.

Michael and I sat at the kitchen table with my whole family.

My mom and my siblings.

After I told Michael we called Renai and Isaac and they both were happy for me. Especially Renai. She said she always wanted a gay best friend and to me it seemed like she almost died on the phone.
I poked my fork in my food as my mom finally spoke up.

"Okay Ashton. Michael. You were really quiet the whole time now. What's wrong?" My mom always knew if something was up.
In some situations it was kind of good but in some it wasn't. I don't know if it was good or bad in that moment.

I looked at Mike and he smiled nodding.

"Well.." My mom furrowed her eyebrows. "There is something.." She sat more upright than before and layed her fork on the table. "Mum, I'm gay." I shut my eyes tightly before she could start yelling at me.

Nothing happened.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw my mom looking at my siblings.

"Does that mean you love boys?" Harry asked as I nodded.

"I don't know why but I'm a proud mom." My eyes went wide and I guess I was happy. "But don't you dare frickle frackling in my house!" My mom whispered before I choked on my food and tried to catch my breath.

*flashback end*

I laughed at tge memory and laid on my bed. I took my phone and scrolled to Isaac's contact before I pressed the call button. It rang a few times until he picked up.

"Ashton!" She shouted into the phone and I just chuckled. "Your new ringtone is amazing! But what's up?"

I stood up and looked out of my window while I started talking.

"I wondered if you wanted to meet up today? I mean.. to be honest I miss the days when we met up somewhere and just talked for hours. You think we can maybe do that?" He thought for a moment.

"Well, I have to go to the hospital today, you know, because of the check up stuff but you could pick me up after?" I smiled and nodded before I noticed he couldn't see me.. even if he was here.

"I will! When are you going to be ready?" I fiddled with the hem of my shirt and waited for his answer.

"Half and hour. I'm already at the hospital. So see you later? Got to go now, bye!" I said my bye and hung up.

I walked to my closet and threw on my favourite Marvel shirt. Suddenly I heard a loud bang coming from the neighbour's house.

It sounded like somebody was kicking a door.

I laid my ear against the wall and tried to hear something but I couldn't.

Sometimes I wish I knew what happened all the time but I somehow knew I really didn't want to know it.
