Chapter 22:

Sid sat down and looked at him, paul nodded as he nodded.

"So why did you call us here Joey?" Paul asked

"And wheres Corey?" Sid said looking around.

"Well...hes a home." Joey said playing with his drink looking around the bar.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Paul asked

"Corey."

"Oh." Paul said nodding

"What happened?" Sid asked

"Well paul if you didnt know me and corey are a couple."

Paul raised an eyebrow "really? Shawn's going to kill you if he finds out."

"So I've heard." Joey said

"Seriously?" Paul said

Joey rolled his eyes "I know."

Sid sighed shaking his head

"But anyway. I dont know. It was my mothers birthday the other day." Joey said

"Oh God Joey. It must have been hard." Paul said sympathetically

"My grandma being the standard homophobe it was." Joey said "that's what i want to tell you about...my family may be suspicious."

"Why what happened?" Sid sat up

Joey sighed "so she started saying slurs and corey was there as my best friend but really my boyfriend of course. And corey got angry and upset and called her out."

"Shit really?" Paul asked

"Yeah...I've never stood up. Its pointless, dont get me wrong it upsets me but at the same time shes like talking to a brick wall. And I guess I'm so used to it with her I desensitized myself to it."

Paul nodded as sid reached for his drink.

"But corey obviously didnt so they argued. She said gay people were pedos which made corey practically explode."

"Damm. He must feel sensitive about that subject." Sid said

"It surprises me. He should be used to it. His mother is."

"Well doesnt mean he expected it." Paul said

"Hes a werid one." Joey said taking a sip of his drink "he and I have been together for a few months now. No sex first off which sucks, I cant keep using my hand I cant."

"No sex?" Paul asked "from corey? You sure we talking about the same guy?" Paul laughed

"Literally!" Sid giggled

"What?"

"Well, corey talked a lot to me about his uh endeavors." Paul laughed

"Huh?"

"Dude lost his virginity to his babysitter apparnely when he was eleven, told her he was older or something." Paul shrugged

"And." Sid interjected "he had a whole threesome in a car. And at a party. And at another party?"

"Oh dont forget, the countless on the floor, or the blow up mattresses." Paul chuckled

"And he got crabs." Sid smirked

"Didnt he give guys blowies as well?" Paul asked

"...how do you know this?" Joey asked

"Uh, he told us." Paul shrugged "in conversations."

"What?! He never told me!" Joey complained

"Well with your attitude I wouldnt have either." Paul chuckled
