He had fallen asleep while I was holding him. Why did things like this happen to good people like him? He's such a sweet boy, so nice and gentle. I ran the back of my hand gently down his cheek. I reached down and pulled off his shoes and pulled the blanket over him. I stood up and looked down at him. He seemed so peaceful sleeping. Thankfully he can get some peace right now. He's going to need it. I'm going to fucking kill that son of a bitch for what he did. He is going to fucking burn. I leaned down and kissed Dylan on the forehead. This boy deserves to be happy. Walking out of the room and closing the door silently, and walked into my room and sat down on my bed. Tomorrow was going to be a long day. I am for once at a loss for what to do. Rickey was going to need to pay for this; that was given... but how? There is absolutely nothing I could do to make him go through the same pain Dylan is going through. I have to be better than this. I have to be stronger than this. It's expected of me to be able to out think anyone; that is what I do. That is who I am. But for once... I have been out played. NO, I have not been outplayed. I refuse to believe that. He just did something unexpected. I can adapt. That is something I can do; I can adapt. I am very good at thinking on my feet. Just how do I get back at Rickey? I grabbed my phone and called Jjay. "Hey dude what's up? Something wrong?" "Dylan's been thrown out of his house, Rickey called his mother," I said. "He what?!" Jjay said. "Yeah, Dylan's staying with me for the time being. But we need to figure out how to get back at Rickey. He took this too far. This is beyond a simple school matter. He seriously fucked with someone's life. That is unforgivable." "I'm going to grab Cody, Amanda, and Victoria and drive over. It will be easier to talk about this in person." "Have Cody call Sean and grab him also. He is going to be one of the most helpful people we can get." "Right, I'll be over with them soon," He said, "Peace dude." "See ya," I said back. This is going to be a long night. "I'm guessing Dylan is sleeping right now?" Amanda said as everyone walked into my room. "Yeah, I'd figured I would let him sleep. He's had it rough," I said. "I can't believe Rickey would do something like this," Sean said, "This fucking power has gone to his head. He's nothing like that kid who was my best friend." "Sean, this might be tough for you," I said, "What we might end up doing to Rickey will most likely destroy your friendship if he realizes you are in on this. We won't let on, but if he finds out..." "I don't give a shit about him anymore," Sean said, "Not after this. He seriously fucked up someone's life. All because he believes in his twisted mind it will make people like him more. He went too fucking far. I'm not going to stand behind him anymore." I looked around the room, everyone was smiling at that. We just stole his best friend out from under him. It is going to kill him. "So how are we going to deal with this?" "We should just call the council, get him kicked out." Cody said. "We could do that, but it will create backlash from Jake. He won't be removed and there is nothing that we can use to make him be removed." "Yea, but he probably told Rickey to do this!" Sean said. "You over estimate Jake's intelligence. Trust me, Jake would never do this," I said, "Plus Jake would know that this is taking it too far." "Didn't he hit you like two months ago?" Sean said, "He obviously doesn't think things though." "I goaded him into that," I said, "I took things a little too far during that argument. That was my fault. Really, that was a power struggle, all it was was me reminding him that I still have things I can hold over his head and nothing more." "Really? That was a power struggle?" Sean said, "He looked like he wanted to bash your face in." "Jake and Logan have a long history," Amanda chimed in. "Yeah, but that doesn't matter. Jake isn't part of this," I said, "Rickey thought of this alone." I heard my door open and there was Dylan. He seemed surprised by everyone that was there, but I'm sure he understood. "I'm guessing you all heard what happened," He said. He sounded so... defeated. No matter what I do to Rickey, it won't fix this. "Yeah, I told them," I said, "We are talking about what we are going to do about it." "As long as I get to beat Rickey's face in, I don't care what we do about it." This was a different Dylan. The way he was holding himself, the ways his eyes locked on mine. He looks like what I've been told I look like when I lose control. "Dylan, calm down," I said, "We both know that won't be a good idea." "I don't give a shit what is a good and what is a bad idea!" he said exasperatedly, "The fucking asshole got me kicked out of my fucking house! I'm going to beat his fucking face in when I see him!" "Dylan, I understand that ..." "You don't understand shit Logan," Dylan snapped, "You don't know what it feels like to go through this. My own mother doesn't love me because of who I like. I am technicality homeless right now." I would like to say it didn't hurt that way Dylan said that. He seemed to realize what he said when he saw the look on my face. "Logan... Look I'm..." "It doesn't matter," I said, "We will deal with this Dylan. You're in good hands." "Right..." He said. I pulled him into a hug and felt him relax. He must have been worried about the way he spoke to me. Do I scare him or something? It's not like I'm not a reasonable person. Sure, I lose control and go psycho, but never against someone I care about. "Dylan, know that I will never hurt you," I whispered into his ear, "I will always be there for you when you need me most." I felt his arms pull me in tighter. "Come on let's get you back to bed. Sleep this off and we will deal with it tomorrow... okay?" He pulled away and looked into my eyes. "Okay," He said. When he left the room I turned and looked at everyone else in the room. "We are going to destroy this fucking bastard even if I go down doing it." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dylan We were walking into school. Everyone had met up before school and walked me in. They knew the fucker was going to be waiting for me. We turned down the hallway and there he was, standing by my locker with a smirk on his face. I jumped forward to attack him but felt Cody and Jjay grab me and pull me back. "Little faggot mad?" He said, he pulled away from the wall he was leaning on and stood facing us. "Got in trouble with your parents?" "I got thrown out of my fuckin house you asshole!" I yelled at him. He looked surprised for a second, before a smirk appeared on his face. "Guess that's what you deserve," He said. Before I realized what was going on, Logan was on him and had him slammed against he locker. "Listen you little fuckin shit. You don't fuck with a person's life like that," He said, "Do you understand that Dylan is fuckin homeless right now? Do you get that? Or are you such a spoiled kid that you don't understand this has ruined a life?" He just smirked at Logan, I watched as Logan got angry, It was obvious he was trying to control himself. He didn't want to beat Rickey's face in. He was trying really hard, but I could tell the smirk was getting to him. "It's obvious you don't understand. So let me tell you what is going to happen. You are going to regret your life from this point out. You have awoken the sleeping demon. Do you understand that?" Logan said, "I will ruin you, just ask your mentor what I am capable of. He has seen firsthand how I work. After school today, I'm giving a call to the council. They will be hearing about this, they will call a meeting and you will be gone. Do you understand that now? You will lose your spot on the 15. "Not only will I do this but I already took something from you," Logan said. "What are you talking about?" He said. "He's talking about me Rickey" Sean said. Sean walked out from behind us and Rickey's face just dropped. "What the fuck are you doing with them?" Rickey said. Logan dropped him, and Rickey pushed past Logan to stand in front of Sean. "I'm done with how you are treating people. You aren't the kid I am best friends with. You've changed. You let this go to your head and you are being a jack-ass to people," He said. "I am doing what I need for us to survive!" "Survive what?! We are in High School. This is not life or death. This. Is. High. School. There is no surviving! You fucked with someone's life here. What you did to him has actually hurt someone!" "I did what I needed to do. He is not one of us. He doesn't belong up here." "If that's how you act when you `belong' on the 15. I don't think I want to be part of it anymore," Sean said. I watched as Rickey's eyes went wide. It was finally hitting him what was going on. "Fine, if that's what you want. You don't have to be part of us anymore. You're done." Rickey said. "Just know you brought this on yourself." "No... you brought this on yourself." Sean said, shaking his head. "You ended our friendship. Know that." "Is there a problem here?" A new voice said. Behind Rickey was Jake. How is it every time there is a circle, Jake or Logan know about it and show up? How does that work? I thought that only happens in movies. The `Hero' or `Villain' just magically shows up when they are needed most. "Jake," Logan said, "It seems we have a problem here." "And what would that be?" "Rickey here has gone too far and has purposely affected Dylan's life. He called up and told Dylan's Parents that he was gay causing Dylan to get kicked out of his house," Logan said, "And he isn't sorry about it." Jake shot a glance at Rickey, then me, then back at Logan. "I don't see a problem here." Silence. Just dead silence. No one moved. Except Logan; his upper lip started to twitch. Then he hung his head. I felt for him at that moment. I just watched the last remaining hope that Logan had of him and Jake being friends again disappear. I wanted to run up to him and hug him. He lifted his head and he had this look it was anger. Worse than I've seen before. Logan started to shake with anger. His breath started to become staggered. Like he was trying to calm down but it wasn't working. He snapped. "Are you joking?" Logan said, "No, you are being fucking serious, aren't you Jake?" "The 15 shouldn't have faggots on it. We are supposed to be the ones everyone looks to. Why would anyone look to a faggot?" Jake said. "The 15 has had a faggot on it for two years, Jake," Logan said, "Well I guess it may have had two, seeing as when we were in middle school you loved it when I fucked you." I heard the gasps and Jake's eyes go wide. "Yes everyone, I'm gay. I have been all my life. Even back when I use to fuck you Jake," Logan said, "How does it feel knowing that a fag fucked you and had you begging for more?" "This could have all been avoided Jake, but no. You've changed so much... and I have no one to blame but myself. I allowed you to be where you are. I could have destroyed you. But no, I allowed Jason and Amanda to talk me out of it. I could have saved myself and everyone so much trouble if I just went for it." "But now you fucked with my boyfriend's life. So it's my turn to fuck with yours. Time to finish what I started two years ago," Logan said, "Let's go guys." I walked up to him and he put his arm over my shoulder, but didn't take his eyes off Jake. Logan flicked his hair and led me, Jjay, Cody, and Sean away; leaving Amanda there to stand with her boyfriend. I wonder how long those two will continue dating now that Logan is out. We walked a little down the hall and out of sight of everything. Logan stopped and punched a locker. He was still shaking. Still trying to control himself. "Logan... I..." I started. "It's fine," He said, "It's for the best. This way I can stop holding onto a dream. I know there is no chance for us to be friends again. So I have to finish it." He turned to face me. "Anyway it doesn't matter. We have to focus on the council and making sure we can deal with anything that happens now. Jake and Rickey are not going to go down quietly." I nodded, as did the others. "Let's all go to class. No use standing around anymore. Nothing we can do for now." And with that we split and went on our way to class. I walked into class and was met by a lot of stares again. It seems that everyone not only knew I was gay, but that I was dating Logan and that I was kicked out of my house. I sat down in my seat and Colin looked over at me. I could tell he wanted to ask about what happened, but since I haven't come out to him personally yet he is holding back. "We'll talk after school. I'll explain everything." We walked out of the school. I told Logan during lunch that I was going to talk with Colin. That it was finally time to tell him everything. "So you are probably wondering why I haven't told you anything you have been hearing about me." I started. I was shaking a little. I don't know why it terrified me still. I know he doesn't care that I'm gay. I know he will still like me. I guess it's just one of those things where I finally get to admit it to someone I care about. I only personally told Logan myself. Sean saw me and Logan, Cody found out through him, Jjay, Amanda, and Victoria found out from Logan. I guess you can say I told Rickey, but that doesn't count. That was a reaction now a true sharing of my sexuality with someone. "I'm... I'm..." I kept stuttering on the words. Come one Dylan! He already knows! Just say the fuckin words. You are gay! Gay! Gay! Just say the words and get it over with! "I'm... gay" I said it... I actually said it. Colin just turned towards me and pulled me into a hug. "You have no reason to be scared Dylan," He whispered in my ear. We pulled apart and he has this smile on his face when I looked at his face. "There's more... a lot more." I said. "I've been dating Logan Kessler for the past two months." "Wow Logan Kessler? Even as a straight guy, I know that guy is extremely attractive." "Oh do you now?" I said, "Well he's mine you can't have him." "Geez, best friends are supposed to share Dylan. You are being selfish in keeping him for yourself." The two of us started to laugh. We got in his car and he drove me back to his house. We were sitting up in room talking about random things listening to music. "There is something else Colin." I said, "I started living with Logan last night." "Why are you living with him?" Colin said. He seemed totally surprised, did he not know? "I was kicked out of my house last night..." I said. "The female parental unit didn't like that I am gay. So she threw me out when I didn't `repent my sinning ways' or some shit like that." "That's fucked up!" He said. "Yeah, Logan's family has a spare bedroom in their house. So I'm staying there now," I said. "How did your dad take it?" He said. "Oh, he's fine with me being gay. He said he is going to try to work on her to make her see the error of her ways. But I'm not holding my breath. I think it would be easier for me to walk on water then it would be for her to change her mind on this." "Must be nice living with your boyfriend," He said. He had a devil smirk on his face. "It has its perks," I said. We started laughing again. And just like that everything was out in the open-- nothing hidden from him at all. If it was that simple? Why couldn't I tell him before. "Colin, I'm sorry it took so long for me to tell you all of this. I should have told you in the beginning." "It's fine, Dylan. I know it was probably hard to digest all of this. I mean, your life has been a whirlwind this year. Going from a basic nothing in the social community to being on the 15, then you start dating one of the most popular boys in the school?" "Yeah, my life has been crazy. But I still should have been able to tell you. I mean you have been my best friend forever. I knew you wouldn't care if I was gay. I was 99.99% sure you wouldn't care. But that last .01%," I said, "That last .01% scared the shit out of me. I could easily tell Logan, because I didn't have the relationship with him that I had with you. If he hurt me, yeah okay I would be hurt, but not at the level I would have been with you." "You have been my other half for a long time. Just the thought that you might not accept me and drive a dagger into my back scared me so much I couldn't tell you." "I understand Dylan," He said. "I'm not mad at all. You came to me in your own time. It was up to you to tell me when you were ready. And you found yourself ready today. Yes, external factors helped you, but you told me. And I'm happy you shared it with me. It brings us closer as friends." He leaned over and hugged me. And just like that everything was forgotten and we could go on with our lives. I just wonder when the next twist in my life was coming... There always seems to be something that ends up making me freak when I'm happy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Well there is the 16th chapter of 'I'll Make you Popular' I hope you enjoyed it!
