No love like Perrentes love

Chapter Eight

Mike's POV

"Look, I don't want any trouble, ok?" I said spreading my hands in front of me, in a kind of peace gesture, these words fell on deaf ears, as the jocks started grinning "well, we want trouble ok fag?" I rolled my eyes at the completely un original insult. This earned a punch to the jaw. I stumbled back a few steps and was soon pushed back into the middle of the circle by another steroid junkie. I blocked a few punches and kicks but I soon started getting hit from all angles and I soon fell to the ground in agony, "Mike!" I heard a yelling "Mike!" I heard it again "Mike, wake up!"

I shot up and gasped for air as I saw Tony sitting on the bed next to me "where am I? oh yeah, your house." I said slowly laying down again, after feeling my bruises pulse at the sudden movement. "yeah, how are you feeling? do you want any tablets?" he asked, getting up and yawning, "I'm ok, thanks, where did you sleep last night?" I asked suddenly feeling bad for taking over his bed "I slept on the couch, it's fine, it's pretty comfy," He shrugged "what did your aunt think of me being here?" I asked, suddenly scared "she was fine with it, she said you can stay for as long as you want," I nodded, smiling "erm, about that, why did you have a massive bag with you yesterday?" Tony asked, I froze, internally debating whether or not to tell him. I sat up crossing my legs. I barely knew anything about him but I decided to tell him "I left home, partly voluntarily but most of it was forced," Tony slowly sat on the bed as I looked down at my hands laying in my lap, "why's that Mike?" He asked softly placing his hands on mine. I looked up and met his eyes shocked at this gesture. "I, erm, I was never wanted, my dads a drunk who always beat me, he never actually liked me and thoroughly disliked my existence, basically, I had had enough of his shit, so I left and now I'm left without anywhere to go," I said mumbling the last part. Tony shook his head defiantly "no, you're not," I looked at him, my expression confused "you're going to stay here," I was shocked, I couldn't speak. "Wha- I couldn't ask that of you or your aunt, Tony, that's too much," he shook his head again "no, she isn't actually my aunt, she was a very close friend of my moms, they grew up together, had known each other since they were about three, when my mom killed herself, my dad struggled to cope, turned to drink and drugs, abused me, hit me, burnt me, you name it, for about four years until I was nine, then my aunt found out and pretty much adopted me, she saved me Mike so she can definitely save you," I was so shocked by this I couldn't even speak, who could have guessed that this perfect boy had gone through this much in his life. I untangled our hands and lifted mine to wipe the stray tear that was making its way down his face. He looked up me and smiled softly, red slightly dotting the tops of his cheeks from my actions. Without realizing what we were doing, we found ourselves slowly leaning in towards each others faces, I looked at Tony who lightly brushed his lips against mine. As cheesy as it sounds, it felt like there were fireworks going off in my brain. I placed my hand on the back of his head and pulled him closer to me before either of us could change our minds. As our lips touched again, Tony wound his arms round my waist and pulled me even closer to him. He deepened the kiss and I couldn't help but groan, I felt him smile against my lips and he layed down and pulled me on top of him, I grinned back. so happy that this was finally happening. Ever since I had first admitted to myself that I had a crush on Tony, I had dreamed about what his lips would feel like on mine and this was better than I had ever imagined. "well, I see that you're feeling better," A voice said from the doorway. We both sprung apart from each other like and electric shock had passed through us both. We looked at each other and blushed looking at the floor. Jaime came over, sat between us and put his arms over both of our shoulders. "sorry to crash the makeout party, great Green Day song by the way, but I brought Starbucks!" he said getting up and handing us both a cup. "thanks," I muttered, Tony doing the same.

Tony's POV

I had kissed him and he had kissed me back but then Jaime had gone and ruined it. I was kinda glad that he had interrupted when he had because I didn't know if Mike actually meant it or if he was just going along with what I was doing because he didn't want to make it awkward. I just didn't know, I was probably over thinking it. "so as it's Saturday, I need new picks and guitar strings so I was thinking that we could go into town because you know how much I don't like going anywhere by myself, please guys? I'll buy you both lunch?" he bargained "fine, just let me shower and change," I said getting some clothes and walking to the bathroom. I took the quickest shower I had had in a while and hurriedly got dressed. I towel dried my hair and made my way downstairs towards the sounds of voices. "so you like Tony, huh?" I froze at the sound of Jaime saying my name "yeah, I think I do Spike, this is all new to me, I mean, I have never really found girls that attractive but I have never looked at boys that way either, but it's different with Tony," I smiled at this "huh, maybe you're Tonysexual? not boys, not girls but just Tony," my grin widened at Jaime's response, "yeah, I like the sound of that," I did too, I thought to myself. As there was a lull in the conversation I opened the door and made my presence known, "let's go, biatches!" Jaime yelled catching sight of me and pulling me and Mike out of the kitchen. I grabbed my keys and phone, sighing to myself. This should be fun, town on a Saturday with hyperactive Jaime.
