Is It Real? (Jaythan/The Wanted Fanfic)

Chapter 10

Nathan's POV

"But I'm not GAY!"

Oh my God, I can't believe I just yelled that out. Jay's face just turned paler than ever. I feel so embarrassed! Without thinking, I started to run away. I need to go home. Probably the guys are home now. It's 10 o'clock. No they're not; they usually come back at 3 AM.

I'm running past Taco Bell. I stopped and look back. Jay's not coming after me. I'm far away from home. I probably ran for 8 or 9 blocks.

I'm breathing heavenly. That was a long run. I sat down on the sidewalk so my heart would stop beating fast. I should get a taco. No money though.

I can't believe Jay loves me. So that's why he asked me that question? Because he wanted to know if I find him attractive? And I even said him! And I think he even planned this with Seev! That's why Siva & Jay was acting weird at the car earlier. I mean, he is attractive. I would date him. IF I'm gay. I'm not. I like women! Females! Girls! Anything that has a vagina!

But I can't reject Jay like that. He's cute and all with his brown golden curls, shiny ocean blue eyes, pale skin, muscular tatted arms; oh my God those tattoos. Thats what I love most on his body. I just don't see him that way. Do I?

Ugh, this month has been so frustrating. I put my two arms on my knees and rest my forehead on them. I just need to relax.

"You okay son?"

I look up and see a man with a grey and white beard, ripped clothing and a beanie. A homeless person as you can see.

"I'm fine. Thanks mate"

"You're British aren't you?"

I nodded. I guess people in LA are not used to British people in this area.

"Who were you running from? Some gang bangers?"

I chuckled. I totally forgot there's gangs here. LA is really not a safe place.

"No, just a friend"

The homeless man slowly walked closer. I stand up so it won't be awkward for him talking to me on the floor.

"You know, you're a handsome young man. I bet your girlfriend is very lucky to have you"

I grinned. I couldn't help but blush at his random compliment.

"Ha, thank you but um, I don't have a girlfriend...anymore" I mumbled.

The man gave me a shocking expression.

"No girlfriend?" He spoke.

"Nathan!" I heard someone yelled my name behind us. I turned around and see Jay with the bag full of cans.

"Oh, I see" The man mumbled.

"No, he's the friend I was running away from" I told him.

Wow, he actually thought me and Jay were...together.

Jay is like 2 blocksaway. He stopped running and started walking.

"Why? He has a crush on you or something?" The man joked.

"Something like that" I mumbled.

The man stared at Jay.

"Well, he's very handsome I must say. I can tell he likes you a lot"

I turned to him.

"How?"

"Look at him. You can so tell how much he feels for you. Still coming after you since you ran away from him. Most people that got rejected from their love, won't chase them. They thought it's all over. Never give up on what's most important" He patted my shoulder. "See ya later, Nathan. I believe that's your name" And he started to cross the street.

"Wait!" I shouted after him.

"Can I know your name sir?"

"Just call me Rick" he yelled not looking back.

I turned and Jay is already here.

"Who was that?" he asked.

"Rick. A good ol' man" I said.

Jay's POV

Rick? I've never seen Nathan with him.

"Look, Nathan. Let's just forget about what happened. Ok?"

I said. Psh, like how are you gonna forget that your same sex friend is in love with you.

"That's gonna be hard" Nathan scratched his head.

"Just forget it or I'll punch you in the face" I threatened him. I really don't mean it. His face is too perfect for me to punch.

"That's not nicely" he said. "Besides you're too in love with me to punch me" he winked.

"Shut up" I mumbled. I hate it now that he knows. He will use it against me.

Nathan grinned.

"We should get back to the house. It's a long walk there."

I nodded. He's right. By the time we get there, the boys will be there.
