Second Chance (BoyXBoy Watty Awards)

Chapter Fourteen: Doesn't sound as good as I first thought

“What is wrong?” Aiden asked as I sat on the bench looking out onto the lake.

“I don’t know...something is concerning me.”

“Do you want to talk about it?” I watched Aiden as he sat down beside me still wet from getting out of the lake as he had fell in when he was in his canoe. I hadn’t even hit the water because I had something on my mind.

 “What would you do if you want to marry someone now or in the future but you’re not sure it’s the right thing to do or maybe it’s not right? I love my boyfriend beyond measure but does that mean I should marry him? Would that be a mistake, I just don’t know. I think I’m over thinking this maybe that’s it.”

“I can’t answer that, Josh but marrying someone you love I don’t see being a mistake at all. Right here, right now maybe you’re young but in the future if you are still together and your love is strong then you should marry because wouldn’t that show enough, show clearly that you belong together,” Aiden smiles.

“Yeah I guess so, you’re right thank you,” I smile to Aiden and he gives me a hug making me wet from his wet suite. He pulls me towards the Lake and pushes me in.

We both start to laugh and I grip onto Aiden’s ankle and pull him in with me. We start to splash each other until one of the life guards came over and told us off but nothing could ruin our moment and we just continued to have fun and laugh and worry about getting in trouble for it later.

------------------------------------------------

I sat on the coach looking out the window. For our misbehaviour Aiden and I got split up for the rest of the trip. It was good we only had a day and half left when that had happened though. Being on the coach ride home on my own is the worst part of being split up. The only upside is Bill is also split up from his friends which makes me a little bit happy.

Bill is in a lot more trouble than Aiden and I had got in trouble as he will have a week’s detention after a couple days of exclusion. He had set fire to one of the tents, it was accidental but he had been messing around that is why he is in as much trouble as he is now.

The coach finally pulled outside school. I was happy to see my mother waiting for me in the car with my dad and my brother was already in the car as he had been at the front of the coach. I smile as they wave at me as they spotted me. I wave quickly back but as I’m near the back I’m one of the last people out.

The coach driver hands me my suitcase before I head over to the car and my dad helps me put into the boot. “How was it?” he asks me.

“It was a really fun week and I learnt a lot,” I said to him.

“I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. We’re going straight for something to eat. Me and your mother really missed you both and we want to know everything about the week away camping,” he grinned as he opened the car door to let me get in beside my brother.

“Hey,” I say to him as I sit down and put my seatbelt on after dad closed the door behind me.

“You alright?” my brother asks.

“Yeah I’m ok, what about you?” I ask back.

“Yeah everything is good.”

That was the start and end of that conversation but I’m not going to complain we normally hardly have a conversation at all and when we do most of the time it’s more classed as an argument. I mean we had both gone on the camping trip but I think I had only seen him a couple of times and we never actually spoke. Mum asked me a lot of questions before we even get to the restaurant as clearly she wasn’t going to get much out of Mark.
