LLL – Chapter 30 – Rejected – Bring Me Some Water

Lucas Bear's POV

	Why, why, why, why, why!? Why did this happen? How did this happen?
I'm so fucking dumb. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!!

	Okay, so for your information, I'm in Shyla's bed, naked. She's
naked... we did the obvious here, and I'm very confused right now. See in
the beginning it was Shyla. No doubt it was Shyla. But 'it' wasn't
responding properly?

	Anyways, so after a few minutes I imagined Nick below me... and
that set me into overdrive. I was as horny as I have ever been having sex,
with just the thought of it being Nick... I don't know how that
happened. As it was out of nowhere that I thought of him below me... it
worked for Shyla though... I guess.

	"What's wrong Lucas?" Shyla snuggled into me.

	She snapped me out of my trance. "Nothing, I'm fine, just tired." I
lied to her.

	"Then go to sleep silly." She closed her eyes and in just a few
minutes fell asleep.

	I spent most of the night just thinking about what happened. I
couldn't figure it out... why can't I have sex without thinking of Nick? I
just... I just need these feelings to disappear.


	The next day I had an appointment with my dad. For part of it I was
talking to the counselor by myself. "So tell me about your relationship
with your father." Where do I start with that one?

	"I don't know where to begin..." I was honest with him.

	He nodded. "Okay, your father has said this was your mother's
idea... Why do you think that is?"

	"Because my dad doesn't approve of things I've done."

	"Can you give me some examples Lucas?"

	I shrugged, leaning in my seat. "I don't know... He wasn't happy
about me dating Nick..."

	"Who is Nick?"

	"My ex-boyfriend."

	"So you're gay?" I shook my head. "What is your sexuality, Lucas?"

	What is the answer to that question really? I can't have sex with a
girl without thinking of Nick... But couldn't that be that I'm not over him
completely yet? Ya, that's got to be it.

	"Lucas, tell me what you're thinking... Maybe I can help." His
smile... it was so friendly and nonjudgmental. I couldn't help but tell him
everything.

	"Don't tell my dad, but I had sex last night with a girl. But it
couldn't... well you know and I ended up thinking about Nick and the rest
is history." Why is it easier to tell adults who aren't your parents about
your sex life? "I'm just confused..."

	"What does your dad think of you being interested in males?"

	I shook my head. "I'm not interested in them. I'm straight."

	The therapist smiled. "Is that you, or your mask talking?" I raised
my eyebrows in confusion. "The entire time you've been here I can see that
you're fighting something back. It could be the fact you are into this boy
Nick, whom you've dated. I'm going to take a wild guess and say your father
didn't approve of you and Nick.
	"You're trying hard to become what your father wants you to be, and
not who you want to be. Hiding your true feelings, Lucas, is not only bad
for you emotionally, but it affects your health as a whole. I would look
hard at this, do you want to be what your father wishes you would be? Or do
you want to be the person you are on the inside?" That was when his alarm
went off. "It's time for me to talk with your father. Think about those
questions, okay Lucas?"

	"Ya... I will." I got up and went out into the waiting room. "Your
turn," I told my dad as I sat down.

	"How'd it go?" My dad asked as he passed.

	"Good." I grabbed my iPod and placed my headphones in my ears.

	To be true to myself... or be who my dad wishes me to be. Those are
my choices... Mom and Blake are obviously on the side 'be true to
myself'... Where do I stand, though?


Antoine Rieu's POV
	"No, that's not fair!!" I was close to tears.

	I'll take you back a few minutes when my parents called me to the
living room. I got up from my room, and there were mom and dad, sitting in
'talking mode'. I don't know what's happening right now, but I don't like
it.

	So the entire conversation was in French, so I'll just tell you it
in English. "Ya, what's up?"

	"Sit down Antoine." Mom spoke. I sat down on the couch and waited
for the worst. "It's about Isaac."

	Why can my mom say his name fine but I can't? "What about Izzy?"

	"We don't want you dating him, son," Dad spoke sternly.

	I got up from my seat immediately. "What!? No, that's not fair!!"

	"Antoine calm down." Mom spoke softly.

	"No, I care about him, you can't just tell me to break up with
him."

	"Antoine." Dad gave off a threatening tone. I sat down and listened
to what they had to say. "Isaac has a reputation doesn't he?" Seriously,
where did I get the ability not to say his name?

	"I know... but it's not what you think..."

	Dad interrupted me. "No, listen for a second. I don't want you
around those types of people Antoine."

	"What kind of people?" I asked him. "What do you know about Izzy!?"

	"That he has cuts on his wrist..." Mom spoke softly. I kicked the
table in front of me. "Antoine!"

	"Well, he doesn't!" I was furious. My parents found out the worst
rumor there is about Izzy, and they are trying to use it to make me break
up with him. "He was attacked by a dog when he was little. He has bite
marks on his arms. Izzy doesn't like showing them and is deathly afraid of
dogs because of it!

	"He doesn't like showing his scars, so he wears stuff to cover
them. It's not scars from cutting himself; it's just dog bites. I've seen
them; I wouldn't want people to see them either. His parents can't afford
to get the surgery to get rid of them, so he has to live with them.

	"So don't tell me who I can and can't date. I get it; you're trying
to help me follow the right path in life... but let me explore and make
mistakes. How else am I going to learn?" I got passionate about this really
fast.

	The look on my parent's faces told me everything. They had no idea
that I would react this way or the truth behind him covering his arms. I
felt bad for yelling at them, but I can't just let them talk bad about
Izzy.

	"I'm sorry Antoine." Mom spoke softly. "We're just not sure how to
handle you being gay... We just want what's best for you."

	"I know mom... Just treat me like you always have. Let me make
mistakes and learn from them. Be the shoulders I come to cry on when I'm
down. Just... talk to me when it comes to issues like this. Don't just tell
me not to do it; it makes me want to do it even more."

	Dad grinned. "Don't do your homework." I rolled my eyes. "Seriously
though Antoine, just... just be careful okay?" I could see dad didn't want
me with Izzy, but he was accepting that I wanted him. Izzy is my first
boyfriend, who knows if it'll last. I just want to figure stuff out for
myself.

	When I made my way back downstairs, Mattieu was just coming out of
the shower. "What was that about?" He looked a lot better than before we
spoke.

	"Mom and dad concerned about Izzy. You look a lot better."

	"Thanks, bro." he ruffled my hair as he passed by.

	His eyes don't look as guilty anymore... it's a good thing, I
guess. He's the one that mom and dad should be worrying over, not me.


Tyson Jackson's POV
	It was a fine time camping. I mean when it starts off with telling
your dad you are into guys... and he's okay with it? This is like the best
thing that could ever happen to me, ever! Dad told mom, of course, and she
told me that if I need anything she'll always be there and all that jazz
but ya.

	Besides that, the trip has been awesome. The lake nearby was nice
to swim in. Nikolai and I spent most our time in the water or wondering
around in the trees. We would never be out of range of our walkie talkies.

	Every night at bedtime, well... kind of bedtime, Nikolai would
always go to bed first. When I would get to the tent, he would be laying
down, 75% of his body out from under the covers. Every time the only this
he's wearing in his briefs, and it makes going to bed really hard! In both
the literal and metaphorical sense.

	Right now, we were right in the middle of wondering around on the
trails, taking in all the different wildlife, a wild mouse jumped out of
the bushes and scared Nikolai. "Gahhh!" Nikolai flipped out, running behind
me.

	"It's just a wild mouse..."

	"That came out of nowhere! It could have been a bear!" I laughed at
him. "Oh shut up, or next time it will be a bear."

	I couldn't stop laughing. "You're silly Nikolai."

	He smacked my back. "And you're mean," he whined. I couldn't help
but giggle before skipping off. "Where are you going now?"

	"On an adventure!!" I yelled back as I continued down the path. It
ended up leading just around to the road again, but it was neat seeing all
the different paths to take around the park.

	Eventually, it was time to return to the campsites and have
dinner. Dad and Travis were comparing notes on their experience. Our moms
were chatting by the fire, and Nikolai's little sister was playing with her
friend she took with her.

	"Welcome back boys!" Dad spoke loudly. "Can you come here a
second?"

	"We were wondering if you two would do us a favor." Travis looked
at us directly in the eyes. "Since we are doing reports, we thought reports
from a youth's perspective would be useful too."

	Nikolai finished what Travis was trying to say. "You want both of
us to make our own report on the place."

	"Exactly."

	I shrugged. "I could do that."

	Looking over at Nikolai, he shrugged too. "Sure, why not."

	"Thanks, boys." Dad got up from his seat. "I should probably start
dinner now."

	"Ya dad, we got back in time for dinner, and it's not even done
yet?" I smirked as he smacked me on the back of the head. "Need any help?"
	"I would gladly accept some help." Dad and I on dinner duty
tonight! Should be good!


	Dad and I made an excellent dinner! According to everyone at least,
we made just burgers over the fire. It was fun, learning how to cook over
an open fire.

	It wasn't long after dinner that my exhaustion got the better of
me. It was sudden, but I felt extremely tired and so ready for bed. I let
out a big yawn and rubbed my eyes.

	"Getting tired Tyson?" Nikolai's mom asked me. I nodded. "Why don't
you go to bed, we can walk you to the tent."

	I yawned again. "Okay..." I got up and said goodnight to my
parents. Nikolai joined us on the way to the tent. "Goodnight," I said as
Nikolai's family continued their way to their site.

	When we got in our tent, Nikolai was quick to drop down to his
briefs and under his blankets.  I sat there kind of embarrassed of the
sight I just seen. I think Nikolai picked up on this. "Does it bother you
that I sleep in my underwear?"

	I shrugged. "Not really, I just found it weird that you just
dropped your pants like no one was around." I could feel myself blushing so
I looked away. "It's awkward is all."

	You could hear the smile in Nikolai's voice. "What's so awkward
about it? Never seen a guy in just his underwear before?"

	"It's not that. I just... I don't know."

	"You can tell me, I won't laugh," I said nothing. "That's a Nikolai
promise!"

	"A 'Nikolai promise'?" I raised my eyebrows at the kid.

	He just smiled. "It's the best kind of promise you'll ever get from
me!"

	I guess with that I have no choice but to tell him. So I sucked up
all the courage I had, took a big breath and just said, "Because it's
really cute."

	Nikolai's mouth turned into a grin as his cheeks went rose
red. "It's cute that I sleep in my underwear?" I could only nod to
him. There was no way I could talk to him after that. "I think it's cute
you wear pajama pants without a shirt." Nikolai let out a giggle.

	We sat there in awkward silence. I could feel a little tension
between us. It wasn't bad; it just made me want to kiss him. I quickly got
changed into my pj's and went under my covers.

	When I turned to Nikolai, he planted his lips on mine. The kiss
only lasted a few seconds but... fuck man that was great! His lips were so
perfect. I don't know they just felt great.

	"I'm sorry, was that too forward of me?" Nikolai backed off
embarrassed. "I promise I won't do that again."

	I couldn't help but smile. "It's okay Nikolai... I liked it."

	"Oh..." He sat there partially under his covers, partially out. His
body shivered from the cool of the air. "I should get back under these."

	"You know..." I stopped him. "Sometimes I get cold, and I wake
up... Maybe if we share a blanket that won't happen." In the tent, we had a
futon and our own blankets. Mine was pretty good, but I shake it off
sometimes and wake up cold.

	A small smile crept onto Nikolai's face. "I'd like that." So I
raised my blanket, and he quickly got under. "Do you mind if I snuggle up
to you?"

	"Sure... go ahead." He rested his head on my shoulder and his arm
on my chest. Before I knew it, his leg was even over mine. We were as
entwined as just people snuggling get, I think. "I kinda like this."

	"I definitely like this." And we fell asleep like that. When I woke
up early that morning, we were in the same position. I could feel his boner
against my leg. I had a ragger going on in my pants too, but now was not
the time to do anything about it.

	I simply rested my head next to his and fell back to sleep. This
was by FAR the best family outing I have ever been on. Not a whole lot
could top this.


Nick Bells' POV
	It was Tanis' last night in town; he was going to be heading home
tomorrow afternoon. So we decided to go down to the youth center to visit
an old friend, Colby. Colby used to babysit me when I was little and now
he's become a Youth Mentor at the center, so I can see him whenever!

	When we walked inside, and Colby's face lit up. "Hey Nick, how's it
going?"

	"Good, just thought I'd hang out with my good buddy here." This was
my little test to see if Colby could recognize Tanis.

	Colby spent a good few seconds giving Tanis a scan. "You look
familiar but different... I got nothing, sorry."

	"I'm Tanis Jones."

	Colby smiled and shook his head. "No wonder, I can see it now but
damn. You've changed just enough for me not to recognize you. How have you
guys been?"

	"Well, we've been hanging out 24/7 the past couple of days because
I'm not here for long. Tonight's actually my last night here."

	"Well, let's make it a night to remember!" Colby got us all set up
in their system, and we got to hanging out with him.

	By hanging out I mean we mostly just talked. He's an old friend who
has helped me out many times. He's a great guy who I look up to a lot! That
and he's gay too so it's all awesome.

	Eventually, our conversation led to Lucas and his actions as of
late. "So what is going on with Lucas? I hear some whispers, but I don't
know who to trust on that one."

	I shrugged. Tanis rolled his eyes and spoke. "He's trying to get
his relationship with his dad healthy again. But is ruining his life in the
process."

	"He's not ruining his life..." I defended him.

	Tanis shot a look at me. "Look, remember what Blake said the other
day. He hasn't spoken to anyone about Annie, and now this. He's running
from the pain but isn't getting very far." He's got me there. Even his mom
is worried about him.

	"Sounds to me like he's got some shit to work out for himself."
Thanks Colby for taking my side. "Tanis, you are right, but I wouldn't say
he's ruining his life. But Nick... he's not in a good spot in life either."
Yep... I know that but what do I do?

	Lucas doesn't talk to me at all... he's knocked me out of his life
completely. He smiles at me, but that's all of our interaction. Other than
that, I'm just another person in his life.
	Tanis grabbed my shoulder. "I know you care for him and have no
idea what to do. What has doing nothing done for you?"

	"Nothing..."

	"Then why not try doing something?" Colby asked.

	What do I try, though? I can't think of anything. "There's nothing
to try. He won't talk to me like ever, and I don't want to make him angry
at me for ruining his chances for repairing his relationship with his
father."

	"Fuck..." Tanis said mostly to himself. "Never thought of that. I
know he is still in love with you, you just need to get back in there."

	"What if he's never left?" Colby asked. We both raised an eyebrow
at his comment. "Just listen. What if the reason he's so pushy towards you
is that he still has feelings. It could be the only reason he won't talk to
you is so that he won't give into what his heart wants."

	"Ya... probably." Still though, there is nothing I can do.

	Colby looked me right in the eyes. "Don't give up Nick, okay? Keep
on going, Lucas will figure it out soon." I sure do hope he's right. I miss
my snuggles Bear.

Chapter End.

	In case you didn't know, I have twitter now. You can find the link
to it above before the chapter starts.

	We're reaching the last ten chapters of LLL, which means it's
ending soon....ish. By that, I mean probably in 2016. But who knows it
might end sooner.

	I've got a lot planned for chapter 31-40. I have a plan for it, I
will be looking over it before I start the next chapter, but suggestions
are always nice. If you have one, just contact me!

	Thanks for reading!!


P.S. TRIVIA!!

	So this chapter's trivia has to do with LE's main casts
names. Those names being Gage, Sam, Nick, Lucas, Zach, Shane, Isaac, Kale,
Annie, and Leo. All of these names fall under the LLL categorize as well,
but I'll get to LLL names another time.

	Now, here is how I decided the names of the LE cast!

Gage - Well... my mom was gonna name me "Gage" but then my Grandpa was like
"That's not a manly name! What man wants to go around being named after a
car part!?" So my mom named me something else, and that's how he was named.

Sam - ENTIRELY based on one of my crushes in high school.

Nick - I like the name, that's it really. I have met a good amount of
Nicks, some I hate, and some I love. Just at the time I wanted to use
Phoenix but decided against it, so I used part of it.

Lucas - This one guy named Lucas, I thought he was cute. Turned out to be a
complete and udder idiot.

Zach - Again based on a guy I thought was super cute, especially in grade
8. (2006-2007)

Shane - So I used to go to a youth center growing up, and there was this
younger kid named Shane. YUUUUUUP, it's exactly what you think.

Isaac - Favorite name ever. I want to name my kid this. That is all.

Kale - Cute kid in my grade, never really had any classes with him. Still
cute, though.

Anthony "Annie" - I actually knew a kid with an Anthony like name... and
his nickname was "Annie"... No, the same thing did not happen to him.

Leo - Kinda liked the name... is all. The only name on this list I think I
googled "Boys names" for.

	And that is how the LE cast was named! Next time I'll do the LLL
cast! Yes, there are some names in LLL that I consider main that aren't on
this list! See you next time!!
