His Glimmer Of Hope

Chapter 27

By the time Jaylen returned home, it is slightly past midnight. That is his first time arriving home that late. Worried that his mom and step-father will be angry at him, he slowly opened the door, and to his relieve, both of them are fast asleep in their room. After closing the door as quietly as possible, he tip-toed to his room, shutting the door silently, locking it as well.

After changing out of his clothes, he put on his comfortable clothes and laid on the bed, smiling to himself at the events happened today. As he couldn't wait any longer, he texted Kyle, telling him of the events that took place the entire day, including his first sex. Once he finished texting, he shuts his eyes, calming himself down. Before long, he is fast asleep.

As morning soon arrive, his phone vibrated and Jaylen slowly cracked open his eyes, looking at the reply Kyle sent. "WHAT?! You had sex?! With Kujo?!" Kyle texted. "But.. If you confirm that you want to be with him forever.. I guess sex wouldn't be that bad.." Kyle added. "Well.. I'm just happy that you finally found someone who can give you the things you want the most. Security and warmth." Another text bubble from Kyle came.

Jaylen smiled as he read it. "By the way.. Excited to see your cosplay photos!" Kyle texted and Jaylen blush in embarrassment. "You better not laugh alright!" Jaylen replied to Kyle. "I won't stupid." Kyle texted back with a laughing emoticon. "But.. Just prepared to receive harsh comments since Kujo has alot of fans." Kyle warned and Jaylen sighed. "I'll try." Jaylen texted Kyle back and looked up at the bare ceiling, worry filling him.

Three days passed since the photoshoot and Kujo finally posted some of the photos with information on his upcoming photobook on all his social medias. Jaylen blushed as he looked at it, embarrass. "Hey Jay, i saw that you had seen the posts. How is it? It came out great, right? :)" Kujo texted Jaylen with a heart emoticon. "But.. It really doesn't look like me." Jaylen texted. "I really had a great time during that photoshoot. And it's because of you." Kujo texted with a blushing emoticon. Jaylen read and smiled, falling more for Kujo again.

As the hours passed, more and more comments flooded Kujo's social media, commenting on his newest posts. There are some that are excited to see more of such photos, some love it and some just simply left snark comments, which sadly, overtook the comment section. As Kujo is used to having so many comments, he had muted all of his social medias, aside from messaging apps, so he did not know that such comments have appeared.

Quote #26:

"Whenever I have a good few months and I think I've gotten over the worst of my depression, it silently returns. This isn't a battle I asked to fight. I'm tired of knowing it's always coming back."
