Travett

Chapter One

-Hey! Travis, do you have a minute? i asked while walking after him going into the wardrobe. 

-What? 

-Umh, yeah. So, I am going to talk to my dad later today, I said and swallowed a lump in my throat. He turned towards me and smiled. 

-That is great, Emmett. Good for you, he said and opened his locker. 

-What, is that all you have to say? I asked and raised my brow, before leaning toward my locker.

-What do you want me to say, Emmett? 

-I don't know, Travis, but I really like you, you know? 

-Emmett, what do you want from me? Just because you are finally getting the balls to tell your dad that you are gay, does not mean we are a thing. You were engaged, or I don't know if you still are. I can't do this. It's too much for me. I am your supervisor and you are my cheif's son. It's wrong on so many levels, he said frustrating and slammed his locker again. He walked towards the door.

- Wait, Travis! So this is it then? i asked and tears ran down my cheeks.

-We never were anything, Emmett. 

-Travis, I whispered and sank down on the floor. What am I supposed to do now? The minutes flew away and my shift was done in a couple of minutes. So, I didn't mean anything for him then. I pulled my knees up to my chest and let the tears stream down. My breath was uneven and my palm was sweaty. I almost didn't notice the voices from my colleagues, but just in time I jumped onto my feet and prepared myself. The door opened and everybody came in. 

-Hey! Probie, do you wanna go for a drink with us at the bar? 

I blinked twice and swallowed. Tried to control my voice so they would not notice my meltdown. 

-No thanks, I said and threw all my stuff into one of the bags. Travis went silence and I could feel his stare on my back. 

-Travis, you are coming with us? Vic asked and threw a sock on Travis. 

-I think I would have to recheck upon that offer. I am not just in the mood, answered Travis and looked down on the sock. -Do you know? That sock stinks, he said before throwing it back to Vic. 

-Have fun guys, I said before walking home.
