Just A Game

Chapter 1

"Move a little faster, would you?" Mum yells from the front yard.

I roll my eyes, pick up the last box and start walking to the door. I turn around one last time.

I'm going to miss this place, I think.
My thoughts are cut short when I hear a loud honk from the truck we're using to move our things.

I sigh, running a hand through my hair. "I'M NOT DEAF, ALRIGHT?" I yell while walking outside and shutting the door behind me.

I sit in the passenger seat, totally ignoring my mother's glare.

You are probably wondering what's happening. So, my mother decided it would be a great idea to move in with a man she knows for two weeks. WHO LIVES BASICALLY ON THE OTHER END OF USA. And now I'm forced to move with her, too. I can't wait for those 6 months left to my birthday to leave that goddamn house and return to New York where we live-well lived from now on. I'm going to miss my friends so much. I wonder who's going take my place as the soccer team captain. I'm going to miss the team, too, even though some of the guys stopped talking to me since I came out of the closet. I guess it's better than being beaten up like some other gay guy are.

After a really long drive we finally park outside a huge mansion. There's a big front yard with rose bushes, trees and all kinds of flowers. A case of stairs lead to double doors. As mum is about to knock on the door, it swings open to reveal a man in his late 40s. He has short brown hair with a little gray in it and chocolate brown eyes. You can see his perfectly straight white teeth as he smiles at my mother. Her smile mirrors his. She's beautiful when she smiles. With her long blonde hair and blue eyes she looks like a model.

From the look on both their faces I can tell that they're still in the honeymoon stage. Which will probably end soon, I think. I just hope he doesn't kick us out on the street when that happens.

"Come on in" he says grinning widely.

My mother drags me in by the arm.

"You must be Ethan, nice to meet you" he extends his hand. I do the same and shake his hand.

"Yeah, and you are....?" I prompt since mum never mentioned his name.

"Oh, I'm Edward. I guess your mother doesn't talk about me" he looks at her a little sad but it quickly fades away as he smiles at her.

"Come on, I will show you your rooms while the servants get your stuff in" he gestures to me and my mum to follow.

We stop in front of a door "Ethan, this is your room. Make yourself at home" he says as they leave me in front of the room.

As I open the door my mouth falls open in shock. This room is huge. Like three or four times bigger than my previous room. The walls are painted in dark blue color. One whole wall is made of glass windows. There is a king size bed with a nightstand next to it and a bug plasma TV. There is a giant closet which is empty because my stuff still aren't here.

I jump face down on the bed and in seconds I'm asleep.
