Mystics [Lams & Mullette] [Hamilton High School AU]

CHAPTER 10

JOHN POV

Alex falls asleep during the movie. The storm has ended but he didn't wake up. I figured I would just let him sleep, I could tell he doesn't get a lot of sleep and he needs it.

The storm ended around 11:45 at night so we all ended up spending the night. Well other than Maria. She left around 7:45 so she could go home.

We texted our family's and they were all okay with us spending the night. I took Alex up to his room so he could sleep in his bed. Herc and I walked to the same room we stayed in last time while the girls went into the room across the hall.

LAFFAYETTE POV

"At least hes sleeping," I say breaking the silence. Everyone except me and the Washingtons went to bed.

"I know but it's getting bad. Earlier I could tell he was having flashbacks again. He hasn't done that in a while, even during a storm," Martha responds sadly.

"John seemed to help though," Washington responds.

"Uh...Yeah!" I add. I dont know how they would act knowing that Alex and I are bi.

"Why so nervous Laf," Martha noticed.

"Uh, how do you guys feel about homosexuality?" I ask. Sorry Alex but I can't hide this anymore.

"Are you saying hes gay?" Washington asks.

"Actually I'm saying that both me and Alex are bi," I respond nervously.

"Hey Laf theres nothing to worry about, we support you both," Martha calms.

"Thank you," I say getting pulled into hug between the four of us. I'm very happy I got blessed with such amazing parents, even if it isn't by blood.

"Of course Laf. Not it's like midnight try to get some sleep okay?" Washington responds releasing us from the hug. I nod and run upstairs to go to bed.

ALEXANDER POV

I wake up. When did I get into bed? Wasn't I on the couch? Whatever. I go downstairs for breakfast quietly.

My friends are in the dining room again. Looks like they spent the night.

"Hey Alex are you feeling okay?" John asks as I walk into the room.

"Y-yeah, thanks," I say sitting down, embarrassed about what happened yesterday.

"Theres no need to be embarrassed Alex we are all scared of something," Angelica says while taking another bite of her food.

"Yeah but mines stupid," I respond grabbing my plate from Martha, "Thanks mum."

"No it's not stupid," Martha responds.

"Yeah at least theres a story behind it," Peggy responds.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Peggy is scared of the dark," Eliza responds after swallowing.

"That was for me to tell them!" Peggy yells.

"Yeah but you were to slow," Angelica laughs.

"And John's scared of heights!" Herc yells.

"Don't drag me into this!" John yells in response.

"Says the one that was clingy as heck to his friends about a month ago because he was scared of being left behind," Eliza laughs.

"I am NOT scared of being left behind!" Herc yells.

Maria walks in, "Yes you are Herc don't lie."

"How did you get in here?" Washington asks.

"I'm good at picking locks and no one was answering the door," She responds care free.

Martha goes to hand her a plate of food, almost like she knew Maria was coming.

"Thank you," Maria says grabbing the plate and a seat.

We sat in silence for a while.

"Don't react but we know you and Laf are bi Alex," Washington says. I look up a little surprised.

"You're okay with it?" I ask.

"Yes Alex there is nothing to worry about, we just wanted to tell you that you don't need to hide it anymore," Martha adds. I smile and go back to eating.

When we all finished eating we went upstairs to the game room. It was the weekend and we didn't have any homework.

~•~

A couple hours later and everyone went home. Laf and I had training but we couldn't tell them that so we just said that we had to go the store.

We walked out and drove around the block for a while so they would think we were actually going to the store. Keeping this a secret sucks but we have to do what we have to do.

We went back home and got ready for training.

Hello!! Before I forget, all those fears (other than the storm one) are fears I actually have. So I just told you guys my fears. But uh, after the new chapter or so I wont be posting daily because I'm not as ahead as I'd like to be. Sorry. Au revoir!!
