I am, We are Normal 2

Chapter Seventeen

It was the Saturday that would change my entire life! I woke up to the sound of a notification on my phone from Chase, trying to get a response from me.

"Hey, are you ready? I'm on my way"

I walked to the bathroom and styled my hair to the best of my effort and I had already planned my outfit to hopefully impress my dad in some way?

"Are you nervous?" asked Mitch and helped me pack for the weekend at my dad's house, "Yeah, kind of am" I replied and questioned why I even wanted to visit that piece of garbage?

"Well, he's your father. What's the worst thing that can happen?" asked Mitch and finally threw the last of the things I needed to pack. "Well, there's a lot that can happen" I chuckled a reply as I zipped up the last few zippers on my bag, "Like what?" asked Mitch and completely forgot that I haven't ever gotten the chance to come out to my father!

"Oh..." said Mitch as he stopped as he quickly realized it.

"What are you going to do?" asked Mitch as my back pocket started vibrating, "I don't know!" I replied frustrated as I answered the agitated guy, I call my brother. I walked out of my shared room and into the bathroom where I stood and talked with Chase for what felt like ten minutes or so, before he finally said that he was outside and waited for me.

I ran back to my room, only to see the smirk Mitch had as I accidentally walked back to my room again. "What's going on?" I asked as grabbed my bag and threw it over my shoulder, feeling the weight as it caught me off-guard. "Nothing, good luck!" he replied and scooted me out of the room and down the stairs.

Outside sat Chase in the heated car and waited for me, but I used the time I needed. I tried to carry my bag over my shoulder, but I soon felt as my knee started shaking in pain as I fell over and dropped everything I had.

Chase was quick to react though. He accidentally pushed down the car horn as he sprinted out to help me, but so did Justin? Coming from out from seemingly nowhere?

"Are you ok?" asked the both of them at the same time, as each of them grabbed both of my arms and helped me up from the ground. "I'm ok" I simply replied as I watched Justin grab my bag and carry it to the back of Chase's car.

Justin didn't seem like himself? He didn't wear his usual attire and he hadn't his slicked back hair like usual? It almost seemed like I had accidentally broken him?

"Thank you Justin" said Chase and shook his hand, but even then it didn't seem like he was there? "Your welcome" he simply replied and didn't even try to make eye contact with me.

I didn't say anything. I just walked over to Chase's car and tried not to show the pain my knee was in. I opened the car door and sat in the front seat and watched as Justin and Chase seemingly put their previous feud behind? I sat and watched as Justin kept on not looking at me and instead kept on talking to Chase.

I started to get impassioned. So, I leaned over and honked the car horn to get their attention, which helped! I honked the horn and immediately was met with Justin's puffy red eyes!

His eyes were bloodshot, and it almost seemed as though he had been crying for a while? Chase was quick to react after I honked his horn and quickly ended their conversation. Justin kept staying outside tough, as we pulled out of the driveway, he still stood outside as we drove off and down the street.
