	This is my first story that has chapters! My other story is
Hayden's Story, it's here under the High School section. If you like this
story then you should check it out because there are some similarities
except this one doesn't have sex. So if that's what you were looking for
I'm sorry. My shorter stories may have sex but this story will contain no
sex, there may be references to sex, but I will not go into detail.
	If you like this story, contact me at wah.stories@yahoo.com. I
strongly encourage it. Also, If you want to be on my e-mail list to find
out when the next chapter comes out, please include that in the email! I
forgot to ask that for Hayden's Story, but one of my epic fans reminded me
to do that.

-Daniel's perspective-

	Ever since the group date on Friday, Spencer hasn't really talked
to me. I'm used to always being able to look to my left and see him
standing there. Now, every time he and I are in the same room, he suddenly
"remembers" something and darts off. I really haven't had a one on one
conversation since the first day of school, and that was like a week ago.

	I just want to tell Spencer that I'm in love with him. But I can't;
he wouldn't return the feelings. I know he's gay, but the way he looks at
Trey in the halls and the way he stares at Mason when he thinks Mason isn't
looking, I can tell he doesn't like me the way he likes them.

	Just look at me! I'm bi. I can't decide whether I like girls or
like guys. Why would Spencer want someone indecisive like me. I am beyond
ugly. Even though Kurt and I are twins it's obvious to me that I'm the ugly
twin, even though most can't tell us apart. I'm bipolar. The littlest
things can set me off. Spencer deserves someone way better than me.

	Right now Hannah and I are at the mall. She thinks I need more
clothes. I don't think I do, but my opinion usually doesn't matter. We've
been here for about two hours and I persuaded Hannah to let us rest and eat
before we keep going on.

	"What are you thinking about, Sweetie?" Hannah asked. I still can't
believe Hannah likes me. She definitely is the second cutest student
here. But in my opinion the cutest isn't Isabella nor is it Macy, it's
Spencer. The things I would do just to be with him, not sexually though,
but to be near him and to feel his touch.

	"Nothing. I'm just nervous about meeting your parents." Tonight
Hannah's parents invited me, my brother, and my dad over for dinner.

	"They're gonna love you, babe! But probably not as much as I love
you."

	I kissed her on the cheek. "I know that." I think she says things
like that to try to get me to stay with her. She's never told me, but I
think she knows I like Spencer. She always brings up the fact she loves me
more that anyone or anything. And the few times I bring up Spencer, she
always gets this agitated look on her face and changes the subject as fast
as possible.

	"So, you ready to go back to shopping?" She rubbed my hand and
looked in my eyes.

	"I don't think I can. My dad was wanting me home soon."

	"But then I'll be here by myself. I don't want to be here by
myself."

	"Doesn't your sister work in the food court?"

	"Yeah but she doesn't get off for another two hours."

	"They why don't you just come over to my house? We're going over to
your house later on anyways. We'll just go a little early so you can try
making yourself cuter."

	"Try?"

	"You're already cute enough. There's no way you can make yourself
cuter." I smiled.

	"Thanks babe." She kissed me on the lips. "Now call your dad and
tell him to pick us up! I want to see your house and meet your dad."

	"Just one sec." I got up from the table and walked off for some
privacy. My dad is usually drunk or near drunk during the day. He's a great
father and has never hurt me or Kurt, but he does drink a lot and pass out
a lot.

	"Hey Daniel!" Surprisingly he was sober.

	"Hey dad, can you come pick me and Hannah up? Her sis is working
late and I was hoping she could come over until it was time for us to go
over to her house for dinner."

	"Man! I nearly forgot about that dinner! And yeah, I'll be there to
get you all in a minute. Let me get Kurt though, you know how he gets when
he isn't invited for the trip." We both laughed.

	"See ya in a bit, Dad."

	"See ya."

	Right now I wish I had the courage to come out to my dad. He's a
great guy and would probably love me even if he knew about me. But I can't
take that chance. Losing Dad would be the second worse thing to happen to
me.

	I went back to the table and told Hannah that my dad would be here
soon. She smiled and we walked around a little more to see what we could
find last minute. Like all girls, Hannah found everything and anything she
needed in these last few minutes, reason number one why I'm bi.

	When my dad finally got here, Kurt was in the passenger seat. He
looked half asleep so I think he was taking a nap like always. He groggily
got out of the truck and let me and Hannah climb into the back. My dad has
one of those old, clunky trucks that are very small. Since Mom's death a
few years ago, Dad hasn't been able to afford a lot of things, so our nice
new car was traded in for this.

	"Hello, Mr. Masters." Hannah said to my dad.

	"Hello. You must be Hannah." He put his hand out to her and she
shook it. "I've heard so much about you from Kurt and Daniel. It's nice to
finally meet you."

	"Same for you. And I'm sorry about your wife." Hannah said. My dad
then started to back out of the parking lot, but he was still listening to
Hannah.

	"She's in a better place now. It's just sad that she had to leave
so soon. It hasn't been the same since she...passed."

	For the rest of the ride, nothing was said. Dad was thinking about
Mom, Kurt was most likely asleep, and Hannah was scared to talk. The only
reason I knew she was scared was because she texted me during the silence.

	When we arrived home, Kurt got out of the truck and somewhat ran
and somewhat hobbled to the door. Both Kurt and I have keys to the house
for emergencies, so Kurt was able to unlock the door and run/hobble to his
room.

	"What's his deal?" I asked.

	"Macy was supposed to come with us, but she canceled on him a
little while after you left. Kurt went up to his room and never came back
down. He wasn't sleeping though because he heard me leaving and insisted on
going with me to get you two."

	"Should I talk to him?" I asked Dad.

	"No, he should be okay. You have Hannah; anyway, that wouldn't be
fair to her if you left her with her old man." He laughed. He then went
into the kitchen to get a beer so he can watch football, like every day.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

	"We're here!" Hannah shouted as we entered her house. I looked
around and I was stunned. Her parents must be loaded. I mean, just walking
into their house you can tell they have everything.

	Two adults came around the corner; I assumed they were Hannah's
parents. She looked almost exactly like her mom. They both shared the same
long bleach blonde hair and the same build. But she got her light blue eyes
from her father. "Hello, I'm Crystal, and this is my husband Michael. We
are so happy to meet you all. Hannah talks about Daniel and the others all
the time." The woman said with a smile on her face. "Now, which one of you
is Daniel?"

	"This one." Hannah said, grabbing my hand.

	"It's nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh." I said extending my
other hand to Mr. McIntosh.

	He shook my hand. "Please, call me Michael. Mr. McIntosh makes me
feel old." He laughed a burly laugh. Like many of the rich men in the
world, he was on the husky side.

	"Same for me, darling." Mrs. McIn...Crystal said. "That goes for
all of you actually. You're our friends, not our clients."

	"If you don't mind, I'd like to sit and talk with you two
privately." My dad said. Great, now he's going to embarrass me.

	"We don't mind at all." Michael said. "We were going to ask you
that anyway. Hannah, please take them to the living room until we call for
you."

	"Yes, Dad." Hannah then led me and Kurt to the living room while my
dad and Hannah's parents went upstairs.

	"Where are they going?" Kurt asked.

	"Most likely my dad's den." Hannah answered.

	"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" I asked.

	"I have an older bother, but right now he's off at college. Last
time I checked he was at Yale."

	"Damn, you have a pretty smart brother." Kurt said, starting to
sound like his old self again.

	"Not really, money speaks in the ivy leagues." Hannah said
laughing. "He's pretty normal when it comes to brains, but not as smart as
like, everyone else there.

	Daniel then looked down at his phone and started
texting. "Daniel. Please be polite, we're guests and you're over there
texting." I said.

	"It's okay, Kurt." Hannah said with her usual smile. "I know what
it's like to be unable to leave your phone for five minutes."

	"Yeah." Kurt said, still sounding sad. "Spencer was just trying to
cheer me up. At least he cares, unlike you guys."

	"You were texting Spencer?" Hannah asked a little stunned. Kurt
nodded his head as a response. "On second thought, I think Daniel is
right. You're a guest, you shouldn't have your phone out."

	"What's so wrong with Spencer?" Kurt asked, a little defensive.

	"I just don't like him, okay? Nothing wrong with not liking every
guy in this world." Hannah said. I could tell by the look on her face she
more than disliked Spencer for some reason.

	"Well he's one of my best friends so you'll have to get over it."
Kurt said back at her. "Before you knew who it was, you were okay with me
texting but then all of a sudden since its Spencer it's against the law."

	"I just don't want to hear his name for one day, alright? You're
acting like I just took your toy away and you're a fucking two-year-old."
Hannah said. I could hear the parents coming down the stairs.

	I was about to tell them to quiet down but Kurt shushed me. "I'm
sorry I actually care about my friends and that they actually care about
me."

	"If you don't quit talking about fucking Spencer I swear your ass
is out of here!" Hannah shouted. The parents were standing at the bottom of
the stairs when Hannah said that.

	"Hannah! That's no way to talk to your guests! Apologize now!"
Crystal said.

	"There's no need to, Mrs. McIntosh. I don't accept apologies from
bitches." Everybody's mouths were wide open but Kurt didn't look like he
cared. He just rolled his eyes and walked towards the door. Right as he
opened the door he turned to look at Hannah. He said, "Spencer" and slammed
the door behind himself.

	"I'm so sorry for Kurt!" Dad said apologetically to the
McIntoshes. "He hasn't had a good day today but that still doesn't excuse
his behavior. I really have to go though." He turned to me. "Daniel, please
stay here and show them our family isn't just a group of lunatics."

	He shook hands with the McIntoshes and left, quietly shutting the
door. "Your brother is annoying." Hannah said

	"Tell me about it." I said. We then acted as if nothing had
happened and went into the dining room for a nice, warm meal.

-Kurt's perspective-

	I can't believe Daniel! He just sat there while his so-called
girlfriend bashed his best friend! Shows you what kind of friend he is. I
mean, at least I said something to the bitch. He just sat there in his own
little world.

	"Kurt! What the hell was all that about?!" Dad said, catching up to
me. I expected him and Daniel to stay so I decided to walk home. I didn't
stop walking when he yelled, if he wanted to talk to me he'd have to keep
walking.

	"She was insulting Spencer! Right in front of our faces! He's the
only one who has shown any kind of care for me today and she has to be a
back-stabbing bitch! She acts all friendly around him and then all of a
sudden she's insulting him right and left like the little slut she is!
Daniel needs to break up with her ass."

	"Watch your mouth, Kurt!" Dad shouted at me. "I don't care what she
said! You had no right to call her those names!" I could tell he was
angry. Hopefully he could tell I was angry too.

	I stopped and turned to face Dad. "The worst part is that Daniel
just stood there while she did this! He didn't say one god damn thing to
her! Shouldn't you stand up for the lo-" I stopped right in my tracks. I
had remembered that my father has no clue about Daniel being gay. I turned
back around and started to walk fast.

	"What were you going to say?" Dad asked. My only response was to
talk faster. "Kurt. Stop and tell me what you were going to say." I could
hear the assertiveness in his voice. It made me want to get my
ass-outta-this-place, so I began to run.

	Dad is still very fit. He goes to the gym after work almost every
day and stays there for a good hour. He was able to catch up to me and
tackle me into the grass. I know this seems weird but that's how my family
has always been. "What were you going to say?"

	I had no choice. Dad has a temper and I didn't like being on his
bad side. The things drinking does to your personality. I spoke with the
greatest of speed. "Daniel is in love with Spencer. He's known it for about
a year now and he's scared to tell him. Almost everyone knows it but both
Spencer and Daniel deny the other likes them. Daniel just let Hannah say
shit about Spencer and he didn't do anything."

	"So Daniel...is gay?" Dad asked. He got off of me and just looked
lost.

	"Yes."

	"And he...likes Spencer?"

	"Again...yes."

	"Why hasn't he told me?"

	"He lost Mom a few years ago. He didn't want to lose you too if you
didn't accept him for who he is."

	Dad hugged me. "He's my son though, I'll always love him."

	"Dad, we just discussed that he's gay. That means he's a drama
queen so he thinks everything will turn out bad." We both laughed.

	Dad then hit me on the arm playfully. "Don't be mean to your
brother. He's going through a rough time I guess. Now come on, we need to
go home."

	"What about Daniel?"

	"I'll call and say the truck broke down and see if they'll take him
home. Now that I know that bitch is keeping my son away from love, I don't
want to see her again." My dad said with a smile.

	"Just please, promise me you won't confront Daniel about it. Let
him come to you."

	"I know. I may be a guy but I'm not that stupid son." Dad and I
then walked back and got in the truck. The whole way home we talked about
Daniel and Spencer. Maybe this night wasn't so bad after all.
