Hope For The Hopeless (Cricky)

Chapter 11~

Dammit, can we have a moment where it doesn't get interrupted by people?! Is that too much to ask?! Once again, I turned red like a tomato, and Chris was standing there, awkwardly. I looked at Chris for help and he whispered. "I'll text you later" he kissed my forehead and said "Bye baby." I said bye, and sauntered over to the van.

I kept my eyes on the ground as I got to the side door, knowing I had two pairs of eyes on me, and climbed in the back. I closed the door and took one last look at Chris, before he turned and walked into his house. We sat there in silence for a minute, until Angelo cleared his throat.

"Well....That was interesting." I rolled my eyes and looked out the window. He looked at me through the rear view mirror and asked "You wanna talk about it, Rick?" I shrugged and asked "What's there to talk about?" They know what they saw, so they should just drop it.

Balz looked back at me and said "Dude, we saw you and Chris making out. We have to talk about it!" He sounded like some schoolgirl wanting to gossip about the cute new guy at school. "Look guys, I know what you're trying to do. Chris asked me to be his boyfriend yesterday, and we didn't want you to find out for a while. There, are you happy?"

"Ricky, we're not gonna judge you." Ange said. I raised my eyebrows and asked "Y-You're not?" "Of course we're not gonna judge you! Why would we do that? We love you, Rick! We're just happy for you!" Balz said, making me feel like an idiot.

"Wow...I feel stupid." They laughed and Ange said "As long as he makes you happy, we're happy too." That made me smile. "But if he hurts you, I'm gonna cut his dick off." Balz added. I laughed and said "I love you guys."

"We love you too, Ricky." They both said at the same time.

I love my friends.

(Chris' P.O.V.~)

After the awkward moment we all had when my dad walked in on us making out, we were sitting in the kitchen, eating dinner. We sat there in silence, and I was afraid to talk about what happened.

I had to suck it up and I spoke up. "Look dad, I'm sorry about what happened-"

"Don't be, son. You did nothing wrong."

I drew my eyebrows together and asked "Wait..So you're not mad?"

He laughed and said "Mad? Why would I be mad? My son has a boyfriend who makes him happy, what's so bad about that?"

"Well um...You walked in on us...You know.."

"Christopher, I've walked in on my parents having sex before, so it's not the first time. And it wasn't like you two were having sex..I'm just surprised you never told me you were Gay."

I bit my lip and said "Well, I was afraid you were gonna be against it...And that you would make me break up with him.."

He sighed and said "Christopher Thomas Cerulli, I would never do that to you, nor would I ever treat you any different than I do now. You're my son, I love you, and I want you to be happy no matter what. I was accepting of you doing music and wanting to start your own band, and I'll be accepting of you having a boyfriend. I'll love you no matter who you are, what you do, or who you chose to love."

I smiled and instantly felt relieved. I knew I couldn't tell anyone else my secret other than my friend Mike, cause I was afraid I'd get treated like shit or beat up, or whatever. I didn't want to come out to my dad the way he found out, but it feels great knowing he fully supports me.

(Ricky's P.O.V.~)

After getting home, I avoided my family, and just went straight to my room. I closed and locked the door behind me, turned on some Slipknot, and stripped out of my clothes from today. After stripping down to my boxers, I pulled on some basketball shorts and headed into my bathroom. I started taking off my makeup and noticed something on my neck. I turned my head to the side a little, and saw I had a darkish spot there....It was a hickey...Great, now I gotta cover it up.

I sighed and finished taking my makeup off, before pulling on an old Metallica shirt, and flopping down onto my bed.

I pulled out my phone and saw I got a new message from Chris.

C: DUDE MY DAD'S NOT MAD!!! HE SAID HE'S HAPPY FOR US!!!! :D.

I smiled and felt better.

R: YAYYYYYYY!!! :D.

C: So, how did Ange and Balz take the news?

R: They said as long as you make me happy, then they're happy...And that Balz will cut your dick off if you ever hurt me lol :P.

C: Ouch. Well he won't have to worry about that, cause I'll never hurt you, babe <3.

R: Awwwwwww :3 <3.

C: Haha :P. Hey, I gotta go now, I'll see you tomorrow baby :). Goodnight beautiful, sweet dreams <3.

R: Goodnight baby :3 <3.

I set my phone down and smiled. His dad's okay with it, my friends are okay with it....I just hope my parents are okay with it...But then again, I'm almost 18, so they can't do shit. I guess I was tired, so I turned off the music and the lights, turned on my fan, and crawled under my covers. I made sure my alarm was set for tomorrow, and closed my eyes. And it didn't take long before I fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.
