Do what makes you happy

Chapter 18: Now I really owed him one

Mile's POV:

I began walking to the only other place I could think of going. It took me about 10 minutes to arrive there and boy did the time drag the whole way. Normally walks cleared my head but this one did the opposite. I just had so much going on right now. Who knew your whole life could go from bearable to disastrous in half a month. Most adults would argue it's just being a teenager but that was not my case. I was stuck in a situation called life, it just so happened to not be going in my favor currently. I walked up to the door and knocked. I waited a minute and there was no answer again so I brought my fist to the door a few more times. The door opened and a very sleepy Winston appeared.

"Miles, what are you doing here?"

"Hey Chewy" I said to him nervously. I don't know why this was uncomfortable for me. Maybe it was because we weren't as close as we used to be. After he went against my wishes in court I made it clear I was pretty upset with him. I don't even know why I reacted like that. In reality he did me a huge favor. If it wasn't for him, who knows if I'd even be with Tristan right now. I might still be stuck with Maya which made me completely miserable. I knew it wasn't ever going to work out between us from the beginning, but I was always too scared to break it off with her. I was too scared to be myself. It was all an act. Who knows how different things would be if I'd of went to the dance with her instead of staying at home with Tristan. In a weird way, I sort of owed Winston for doing what he did. "Can I come in?" I asked. That sounded pretty stupid considering I used to never ask him that. Hell, I wouldn't even knock I'd just walk in like his house was my house. I took a step forward and began to walk toward his front door because I was sure he'd be excited to hang out sense we never do anymore. He didn't seem to look that excited at all. Instead, he gave me a look of disgust and put his arm up to block me from going inside. What was going on?

"I don't think thats a good idea.."

Im sure i looked just as confused as I was. It was obvious he was being serious but I didn't understand. "So what are you against me too now for being gay?" It was insane how different I was being treated by my family now that they knew, why was I shocked my friend was following the trend.

"Miles, really? You think I care if your gay or bi or whatever? Didn't I just play taxi with you and your boyfriend last night?"

Oh yea.. I completely forgot he did that for me.. Wow I'm an idiot. I really was grateful he did that for me but not even 24 hours later it left my mind completely. Now I really owed him one. "Look, I'm sorry for even thinking you had a problem with it. Its just been a stressful situation lately.." I said while rubbing the back of my neck. I was pretty embarrassed now of even accusing him of that. Still though, what was his deal?

"That doesn't give you the right to lash out on everyone though dude!" He exclaimed.

"I don't?"

"From what I see you do" he answered and went to shut the door in my face. I was able to stop it with my foot.

"What do you mean from what you see?"

"The way you were acting towards Frankie last night! She's your own sister and you decided you wanted to be an asshole to her. She didn't deserve that and quite frankly I'm not to fond of you right now."

"Chew, what are you talking about?" I asked. I really didn't have any idea what he was referring to.

He laughed a little then looked me dead int he face and said "she cried the whole way home and you were too drunk to even remember? Miles, just leave before you piss me off anymore." He slammed the door in my face and I couldn't blame him. I didn't even remember being rude to Frankie let alone upsetting her like that. I really just wanted to talk to her right now but I didn't have a phone and I couldn't go home.

I went on a walk to the dot to try to clear my head. It was still pounding and some breakfast and coffee would probably help my upset stomach. Once again, the walk didn't do much but the coffee tasted amazing. Well worth the trip. I was waiting for my breakfast sand which to be done when all of the sudden somebody sat at my table across from me.

"We need to talk" Owen said.

I looked and him as I took a sip of my coffee, then answered "I'm listening."
