Different, Excluded

2.

{ Jake's POV }

Logan and I have been at the Paul's home for 3 weeks now and honestly I am so happy! I get along with everyone really great here and it turns out that me and Hope like all of the same things and we sit in her nook in her room and read books all day on the weekends while we watch Logan and Adam run around the backyard like idiots. And while me and Hope are upstairs reading every hour little Sarah comes in a checks on us. She gives us both a hug and a kiss on the cheek and walks out. Oh! And when Hope is gone for band practice Liam and I cook dinner for all of the family we usually work in silence because its just comfortable for me and Liam never compline's that I never talk, he just works and smiles along with me. I'm still not used to talking and for someone to actually listen. I mean Logan always listened but my birth parents wouldn't let me speak if I didn't have permission to. And at my old school I didn't have any friends and was bullied. But now I have 3 bestfriends to stick up for me at school! O well and Logan of course! I do kinda feel bad for having him coming and saving me every time I get hurt or need help. But he has told me multiple times that he loves to help and stick up for me because I'm his baby brother. Also, I have made a new friend that's not in my family! His name is Anthony, he's really nice but unfortunately he's in Logan and Adam's grade so I don't get to see him that much in school but he always comes over and hangs out with me after school! We work on our homework together in my room... well actually I work on my homework he sits on my bed and looks at things in my room until he gets bored and try's to distract me. My parents love Anthony so they don't mind him coming over everyday. Also yes I know I just called Tracy and Matt my parents! I feel really comfortable with them and so I figured that I can call them what they are. My parents. When I first called Tracy " Mom" you should have seen her face! She actually cried, and kissed me all over my face and hugged me so tight! And when I called Matt " Dad " he smiled proudly at me and hugged me. I honestly couldn't feel more loved!

{ Liam's POV }

I honestly can't believe how quickly Jake and Logan are fitting in here! I mean we already have like a mini routine and it's only been 3 weeks! I mean Jake has already made a friend and to be totally honest I really like Anthony! He makes Jake really happy and not only does he make Jake happy he makes Jake Talk! And I mean TALK!!! Like fully sentences not just 2 worded answers with a smile at the end like he usually did. But there is a slight problem with Anthony. I think that he might Logan. And not in a " Oh I like that dude kind of way. " in a " Oh I really love this boy type of way. " Now know that Anthony is gay because he kinda told the whole family at dinner last Friday night. Which was really cool because he said that we are the first people to know that he is gay and has a Boyfriend. Lets just say mom was jumping for joy because her not-actual-son-but-basically-her-son just outed himself to his not-family-but-basically-his-family. His dad smiled and patted him on the back and gave him a look that said " I'm proud. ", And Jake, Hope and Adam actually screamed because there best friend said that he was gay, and Logan... well Logan his reaction was different then all the others. He saw smirking and trying to hide it. But lets be honest Logan is bad at hiding stuff like that. But It's like Logan already knew, like he already knew that Anthony was gay before the whole family knew, is Logan gay to? No!? Right!? He would tell his whole family that he is gay. Right!?

Hmm I'll ask Jake maybe he knows.

Liam: Hey Jake?

Jake: Yeah? What's up?

Liam: Ok, so when I ask you this please be honest with me. I wont tell anyone I just want to know.

Jake: Ok. ( Jake says nervously. )

Liam: Is Logan... gay?

Jake: Oh. Uh I don't know. Like honestly I actually don't know he's never said anything to me why? Is there a reason that you think that he is?

Liam: Oh, uh, ok, um well I am not even sure that I should be telling you this but uh, Ok so you know when Anthony told the whole family that he was gay?

Jake: UH YEAH!? How could I forget he's my bestfriend and he just told me something huge! You think that I would forget something like that!?!?

Liam: NO! I don't think that you would forget I just asked if you remembered damn! Anyways, well I know that you really weren't paying much attention around you but did you see Logan?

Jake: Uh no why?

Liam: Well his face. He was smirking... when Anthony said Boyfriend... he would tell us if he was 1. Gay and 2. Dating Anthony And 3. wouldn't Anthony say something to you if he was dating Logan?

Jake: Well I mean yeah Logan would tells us if he was comfortable telling us. And yeah of course Anthony would tell me he's dating Logan I would be the first person to know, because Anthony isn't really that good at keeping secrets. But, Anthony wouldn't say anything about Logan being his Boyfriend because Logan probably told Anthony that he didn't want to tell us right now because he's scared. Which makes NO sense because he saw the way that we all reacted to Anthony. So, to be honest I don't know why Logan hasn't said anything to us about being gay.

Liam: WOW.

Jake: What?

Liam: I think that's the most you have said since you came here!

Jake: .. Really? That's what your worried about? That that's the most I've said?

Liam: No. Your right I'm sorry, anyways. I think that maybe we should let this be.

Jake: Yeah as much as it pains me to say I think we should to. Logan and Anthony will tell us on their own time.

Liam: Are you sure your ok Bubba?

Jake: Ahh, new nicknames now?

Liam: Yeah what do you think?

Jake: ( Jake smiles ) I like it! What am I going to call you?

Liam: I don't know! That's why YOU have to think of one for me! That would be disappointing if I thought of my OWN nickname.

Jake: True- OH I KNOW!!! ( Jake screamed loudly )

Liam: 1. OW JAKE MY EAR DRUMS!!! And 2. What is it?

Jake: 1. I don't care about your ear drums. 2. Nugget.

Liam: Rude... and Nugget?

Jake: Yeah. Do you not like it? (Jake stops smiling and tries to make him self seem smaller )

Liam: Aww bubba no! I love the nickname! I won't yell at you I promise. I know what those bastards did to you and I swear no one will treat you like that again ok? ( Liam slowly walks up to the boy to not scare him and hugs him tight. )

Jake: Ok. Thank you nugget.

Liam: For what?

Jake: For being my brother and excepting me, even though I am different and quite and not like the rest of the family. ( Jake whispers into Liam's chest so quietly that you could barley hear the young boy speak. But Liam heard him. )

Liam: ( smiles ) Of course bubba! I'm always going to be here for you. You are my brother but not only that you are my bestfriend! I love you Bubba. I always will no matter what.

Jake: I love you to.
