The first thing that goes through my mind is 'oh shit'. I pull away from him, rolling off onto the floor as I do. Standing there beside the couch is Jordan. Her eyes are wide, and her hands over her pale face. "Oh my God." Nick whispers, his face as pale as a sheet of paper. "Jordan this isn't what it looks like okay?" He tries desperately. "Isn't it though Nick!!! I just walked in on you kissing another boy!!" She practically yells. Kara comes running up the stairs and into the room. "You knew about this didn't you Kara!" Jordan cries. Kara nods and says "Yes, but there's nothing wrong with them being together, especially if they love each other." The other girl nods "I know, I don't have anything bad to say about it." I gaped. How about a plot twist. Nick gives her a confused look. "I don't mind it, what about Grammy and Poppa? Or Kendall and Destry? Or Dad, or Angelica. They will have something to say about it." Nick looks down at his hands, almost guiltily. "I can't help who I fall in love with Jordan. You know this. You know I've never really been into girls, you've seen me around my old girlfriend. I was awkward." Jordan nods. "I know our family might not like it but I don't really care what they think. I love Nate, and I'm going to continue loving him no matter what anybody says about it." As soon as those words come out of his mouth, my heart warms. I love him so much. I stare at him, in a mix of love, surprise, and possibly a bit of lust. He catches the look and smiles at me. Jordan just stands there and seems to be having a war inside of her head. She looks between the two of us. "I am going to have to get used to this aren't I, he's not going anywhere is he?" Both me and Nick shake our heads. "Okay fine, you guys have to be careful around the rest of the family. Do your parents know? Does Rebecca know?" "Yeah we know. That's why he attempted to look more New York straight guy than New York gay guy. And yes they both know Becky adores us and my parents are cool with it." Jordan nods and smiles slightly. "Do your parents know Nate?" I nod "Yeah, they've known I'm gay since before I actually came out. Acting this straight is very difficult for me." Jordan smiles at me and says "Well it had everyone fooled." I feel as if a weight is lifted off of my shoulders and I know Nick feels the same way, it was visible. As I lean into him lovingly, he puts his arm around me. I am actually really relaxed right now, at least I was. Until my phone rang.
I pulled out my phone and check the caller ID. It didn't have a caller ID, but it said unknown number. I shrug and answer it anyway. "Yeah?" I answer. "Hey fag." the person on the other end spits out. "Who is this?" I ask skeptically. "None of your business queer." the guy on the other end says. I know I recognize his voice. Putting the phone to my chest, I say to Nick "Help me figure out who this is." He gives me an odd look but nods. I glance at Kara and Jordan and hesitate for a second. "Go ahead Nate." Kara says. I press the speaker button. "Hey faggot are you still there?" The person says. Nick winces slightly. "No but I'm here." I say smirking slightly. Kara giggles. "Well listen here you little sugar coated queer. You had better watch your back." I glance at Nick who looks back at me. "Why, are you and your invisible band of homophobes going to come after us?" I snort. The other guy chuckles. "I'm not going to hurt Nick, well I won't, if you do these things. 1:Break up with him. 2: Trash Blaine's memorial locker. 3:Leave the school completely, or meet me at the park next Friday night at 11:30." I stare at Nick, horrified. He stares back at me with a look of pain, and fear. "Who is this?" I repeat. The other guy replies "Your worst nightmare." Then the line goes dead.
