1001 Love Stories Darker

Cake (18)

I've always looked up to my older brothers, Jacob and Jason.

They were so amazingly cool.

Everyone adored Jacob, he was sweet and kind to everyone.

Everyone looked up to Jason, he was strong and cool.

I always wanted to be like them, until I found out that they were disgusting.

Homo's.

They both have boyfriends and it makes me sick.

Our parents don't care and just love them for who they are. But I can't. I can't let it go.

It's disgusting.

The only ones left was me and Jared and Jared's not someone you want procreating so they should be pissed right.

I sat at the table in my favorite dinar and the moment Elliot walked over I smiled.

Elliot was amazing, the only person left for me to look up to.

He walked over to me and pet my head.

"Hey kiddo." Elliot greeted placing a slice of cake in front of me and I smile.

"Thank you." I say and he smiles back.

"Chocolate, no strawberry?" I tease and he smiled.

"The cakes free, except it and don't be a brat." He joked and I smile back.

"Elliot, can I talk to you?" I ask and he smiles before returning to the back before coming back.

"I have thirty minuets." He says and I smile.

"What's up." He says and I stab into the cake.

"So my brothers are both homos and my parents aren't doing anything about it." I say and he looks slightly shocked.

"What?" I ask and he looked away.

"Nothing, continue." He says and I look at the cake.

"I used to look up to them, but now I can't, it's disgusting and I don't want to be in the same state as them let alone gene pool." I tell him and he stood up.

"I have to get back to work." He said and I tried to stop him.

"But, Elliot!" I call out but he instantly disappeared into the back.

I only sigh.

Maybe something important came up. I think before finishing my cake and hoping that he would come back out.

Which he did thirty minuets later.

I only sigh happy things were ok.

He brought out a few plates and then returned to me.

"Jaden, if you're done, we really need to clean these tables." He said dryly.

"Um?" I ask and he smiles that same warm smile.

"Sorry, feel free to come back tomorrow." He says and I nod, tipping him and leg.

I drove home in confusion. Elliot never asked me to leave before. He usually let me stay until closing. He'd talk to me anytime he got the chance.

I only realize something.

Could Elliot be gay? Was that why he got so upset?

I only shake my head.

"No, Elliot wasn't gay, he's much too cool." I think before thinking about Jacob and Jason.

Please don't let Elliot be gay, I don't want to lose him.
