"The one thing that makes you perfect.."

Pt. 10

"No.... you're... not.." We all looked up at Adam. His eyes were slightly open. "What?" His mother said. "You.. are not sorry.. don't pretend again..." Adam said quietly. His voice was a bit raspy. "Pretend?" His mom said. "You... never cared... you never tried to help... don't pretend... just because... you are now surrounded.. by other.. people..." Adam explained. "All.. you are doing.. is trying to look... like a good mother.." He added. I went over to his side. He weakly looked at me.. "James.. I don't know what I was thinking.." He said quietly. "Adam it's okay.. don't apologize.. you were right I didn't know what you went through I was just scared to lose you.. I was terrified.. I'm just glad you're alive.." I said shakily. Adams mother was closest to the door my sister was standing next to my dad. My brother next to her.  My mother was standing next to my dad. Jaiden and Tim were in front of the window. All eyes were on us. I paused unsure if even now was the right time to say something about it. Adam looked at me and nodded a bit. Surely my parents and siblings would find out.. I sighed thinking about how to begin. "I think you have some explaining to do." My mom said breaking the uncomfortable silence. "Yes I do.." I began still unsure where to start. I explained everything slowly starting with the coffee shop experience then going on to Jaiden and Tim and then telling us they were together.. Adams sudden outburst.. Jaiden helping me confess.. us getting together. Tim's growing suspicions about me and Adam afterwards. I paused and looked at Adam waiting for some sort of indication that I could explain Damien. He paused hesitantly but slowly nodded. I turned back and explained our encounter with Damien and the first time I saw all the scars. I also explained Damien hurting him causing him to cut himself then I started talking about his bullies. I explained his dream knowing he doesn't have the strength to explain it himself. I told them about his other outburst and even though hesitantly I explained him hitting me then leaving to the cliff. How he had cut himself.. and then finally how he jumped. Everyone other then Jaiden and Tim paused. Faith looked at me with a strange look, I couldn't tell what it was exactly. My mom and dad exchanged glances the my mom looked at me and her eyes softened she smiled a bit. My dad did the same. "We knew." My mom said. I paused and shot them a confused look. "Well it was more of a guess." My dad said. "How?" I said. "Well.. we noticed the sudden change in your behavior. How preserved you were. But then when we seen him." My mom said pointing at Adam. "We figured that's what it was." She finished. "Might I mention parents know everything" she added. I didn't even know they saw him.. but then I remember... I turned to look at Faith. "Hmmm.. So you told them he was there." I said. She nodded. "You weren't looking for your cat were you?" I asked. "Well..." Faith started. "No..." She finished. "Then why did you come to my room?" I asked. "I heard voices.." She started. "So I made up an excuse to look in your room. The only thing I could think of was to pretend to be looking for my cat. Then I saw Adam and told mom and dad he was there." Faith finished. Adam looked to his mom. She had a shocked look on her face as if she couldn't believe it.. as if we were lying.

Adam Pov.
I studied my mom's expression. She looked unhappy, disappointed and shocked all at once.  When she met my eyes she looked away as if she were ashamed. Just then my dad walked up behind her. She turned around and cried into his chest. He hugged her close and asked "What happened?" "Our son," she started. "Is gay." She finished. My dad looked at me with hatred stinging in his eyes. James, Jaiden and Tim had turned to look at them. "Is there a problem?" James said angrily. "You." My dad said while staring at James. "Your his boyfriend aren't you?" My dad said with venom. "Yes." James said he was pissed and about to snap. My dad looked like he was about to kill me and James. Jaiden and Tim stood up. James's parents were turned to my dad with a 'you hurt my son or his boyfriend and I will feed you to my animals' kind of look. Everyone had paused. Then my dad tried to attack James. Jaiden and Tim grabbed his arms and flipped (literally)  him over the hospital bed I was on. Then my dad turned to me, he tried to kill me. Everyone in the room (except for Adams parents and Adam) ran over to keep my dad away from me. They had pushed him up against a wall and kept him back. "Get out." James said. Anger had filled his tone with venom. Before they left my dad said "You" He pointed at me. "When you come home we are going to talk." "Get out!" James yelled. My parents walked out. James sat down on the side of my hospital bed and sighed. "Can we ever have a normal day" he said. I chuckle and say "Nope, It's not allowed." He laughed. "I should've known" He said. Sadly, he had to leave. He tried to stay but I told him he needed sleep. James promised me he would come see me. I layed there and tried to get sleep as well. I was woken up by James. I opened my eyes and looked down and to my suprise I wasn't in the hospital I was in bed beside James. He kissed me and said "Are you awake?" "Yeah." I say. "Good, I have a surprise for you." He said. He got up and said "Get up! Come on!" He said. I groaned and got up. "Get dressed!" James said excitedly. What is he so happy about? I thought. What I did notice is he was wearing my red hoodie. He looked... sexy.. In it. "Dammit, do you have to look hot in all of my clothes? You're stealing my style." I said with a grin. "Hey I'm sorry I'm so beautiful." He said with a smile. I grin even wider. I walked over to him and hugged him and whispered "You're right" I wrap my arms around his waist and turn him around to face me. I kiss him for a bit when he pulls away we were both panting.. "Aww.. I wasn't done" I pout. "Come on get ready we don't have time to play" He said pushing me away. I chuckle a bit. "What if I want to play?" I ask. "Well then we can play later." He says. "Yay." I say with a devilish smile. "Adam get ready we are getting distracted." He says. "Fine.." I pout. Then I was woken up. I looked down and there it was, the lovely hospital bed that I'm laying on. I looked to the side to see James. "Good morning." James said. "Morning.." Is all I could manage to say. Then it hit me. Everything hurt the slightest movement made me wince. James noticed and said "If you need me too I will get a nurse and they will up your painkiller." "Please do so...." I said slowly. James left but soon came back with my nurse. While he was busy upping pain medicine I talked to him to break the uncomfortable silence. "You know... because I.. never looked at your name tag... what is your name.." I say. "Alex." He said. "Hmm.. well thank you.." I say. "Oh, your welcome I've been In about the same situation you are in." He said. "Really?" James said. He read my mind. "Yeah I was in a terrible car accident I was shocked it didn't kill me, I was in critical condition and well.. I was hurting constantly." Alex said. "Oh..." I said. "Alright Mr. Ortiz you are all set up." Alex said standing up from his kneeling position. "Thanks, and please call me Adam." I said. He nodded and left the room leaving me and James alone. I hesistated wondering whether or not I should tell James about my dream. I'll keep this one to myself. It's not like it was important or anything. It was just a dream.
