Bi-Curious
Chapter 11
"Mr. Bad Guy"

Ethan

I pull up to the park with Charlie in the passenger's seat. I'd texted everyone in the crew that I was ready to apologize and make things right. I can see them all out there, Tony and O'Malley on a bench and Scout swinging slowly.

I turn to Charlie. "Now, don't take their shit and let me do all of the talking, okay?"

"I— Okay." He nods.

"Are you nervous?"

"No. You said you'd keep me safe."

"Good. Exactly. Let's go." I pat his shoulder and get out of the car.

Charlie gets out of the car and stands beside me, leaving more space between us than usual.

We walk over to the bench and my friends stand. O'Malley points at Charlie. "What the fuck is he doing here?"

Tony eyes us. "Isn't that the freshman's new faggot?"

I clench my fists. "Watch your language. I brought him as a peace offering." I look at O'Malley. "He's my friend, his name is Charlie—"

"Your friend?!" She interrupts and laughs. "Please, Ethan, as if you'd be friends with a cocksucker."

"Hey!" I shove her. "I said watch your fucking language!"

O'Malley sneers, but backs down and I continue. "His name is Charlie and I brought him here because he's offering to help you. His parents are lawyers and they have friends in social services. They can help get you and your sister away from your dad."

O'Malley stares at me, mouth agape. "What?! What the fuck?! You told an outsider about my dad?" She grabs my jacket and yanks me towards her, shaking me with each word. "Who the fuck gave you the right, huh? WHO?!"

I push her off of me. "Nobody, and I'm sorry, but he can help—"

"You think I want help from some fag?!" She snaps. "I fucking don't. Get the fuck out of here, Ethan. I never want to fucking see you ever again!"

"Hey, Carmen, calm down!" I grab her arm.

"Let her go."

I turn to see Tony, staring me down with his gun aimed at my head. I let O'Malley go immediately. "Tony—"

Charlie steps in between me and the gun, holding his arms out protectively. "Don't hurt him. You'll regret it. I'm just trying to help. You don't have to like me. You don't even have to acknowledge that it's me who is giving the help, just say it's Ethan. Ethan cares. He wants it to end. He wants you to be happy. Hate me, but don't hate him. I mean, he even befriended the faggot to get you help."

Tony glares at Charlie and I can see him snap. He takes a step forwards and shoves Charlie. "You think you can tell me what to fucking do, shithead?" He shoves him again and gets all up in his face. "I should fucking kill you where you stand. One less ass eater in the world. No one would even care."

"Maybe you're right. Maybe no one will care, but I don't give a fuck. I don't care what you think because you're not who Ethan's trying to help." He leans forward and kisses Tony. "Oh no. I gave you the gay. Want to eat my ass now, bitch?"
