Sex, Drugs and Emo Rock

Oh God

Tj's POV:

I woke up with a killer headache. Why did I have to drink so much last night? I can't remember a thing. Looking around, I realize I'm not in my own bed, rather someone else's. Then it hit me. Max and I went out for drinks and karaoke last night. I got drunk and begged him to stay with me. When we got back to his place, we...oh God. What if the guys find out I'm gay? What if they find out I can get pregnant? What if they find out I had sex with Max? What if I am pregnant? Oh God! What do I do? We leave for tour later today! I can't let anyone know what Max and I did last night.

"Good morning, Tj." Max half whispered from the other side of the room. He probably knows about my headache. "Here, I made you some eggs."

"Thank you." I reply as he hands me a plate with scrambled eggs. "Max, what happened last night... can we keep it between us?" I ask nervously.

"Sure." Max replied, smiling. "When you're ready, we can tell the guys." He said, understandingly. I'm glad he gets it. "In the meantime, be my secret boyfriend?"

"I'd be glad to!" I smile out, swallowing the bite of egg I had finished chewing.

Max's POV:

As Tj and I step onto the bus, I can't help the feeling that the guys know what he and I did last night. Craig's annoying, wide eyed stare only fueled the thought that they know.

"So," Robert began. "How did you end up at Max's house, again?" I could feel Tj turn a bright red.

"I asked him to come over last night for video games." Tj replied, clearly trying to hide embarrassment.

"Sure," Thrasher began. "and I'm Batman." He and Craig laughed as Tj's blush grew darker. I just gave them both a death glare.

"Come on, guys!" Craig started, annoyingly cheerful. "We won't judge if you slept together! In fact, we've known for a while that Tj's gay."

"Shut up!" Tj shouted as he stormed off into bunk alley.

"Tj-" Craig began, but quickly cut himself off as Tj slammed bunk alley's door. "Max, I'm sorry."

"Don't apologise to me, dude." I said, trying not to sound as pissed as I am. "It's him you should make it up to." With that, I walk back into bunk alley. "Tj?"

"GO AWAY!" I could hear him scream. Soon after, I could clearly hear sobbing coming from a middle bunk. The curtain's closed, meaning someone's in there. Tj.

"Babe." I say, barely above a whisper as I open the bunk's curtain. Sure enough, Tj's in there, his knees to his chest as his head rests face down between them. "Hey, it's gonna be okay." I began to rub small circles on his back.

"You don't understand." He whispers out. "If my parents ever find out, I'm fucked."

"Why would you say that?" I question. I always thought Tj's parents loved him, no matter what.

"I... you may not believe this, but...I can get pregnant." I just sat there, shocked. Tj looked up at me after a moment, his tear stained cheeks nearly as red as his eyes. "You think I'm lying, don't you?"

"Never." I replied, still in shock.

"Then, you think I'm a freak."

"No, of course not!"

"Then what?" Tj's lips quivered as he looked at me.

"It's just-" I let out a sigh. "When Ronnie and I were dating...I got pregnant by him." I could tell Tj didn't believe me. "I ended up getting an abortion, I was only sixteen at the time, what else was I supposed to do?" Tj just looked at me as though he thought I was mocking him. "Look, the thing is, I know it can happen. I was born with both male and female reproductive organs, too. I'm not gonna judge you because you have that ability to fall pregnant. I love you, Tj. Nothing's gonna change that."

Tj said nothing, just attacked me with a hug as he cried into my shoulder. This is going to be one hell of a tour.
