(Chasen's POV)
"You said we would tell them Monday. It's now Friday." Braiden tells
me pacing the room.
I sigh, "Look I know, it's just a lot has been going on, and I didn't
want to just dump this on them. Especially with Kyle having such a hard
time with treatments, tonight babe, I promise. We are having dinner
everyone is going to be there. I even believe that we are going to meet
Ryan's girl friend." I try and reassure him.
"Good for Ryan, Chasen it has to be a tonight! We leave in a week
for New York. Unless you want to cancel it." He tells me sitting beside me
on his bed.
I look at him in shock, "NO! I want this just as much. Just tonight
is the night ok.... Look I was all for it but neither of my parents have
slept much, after taking care of Kyle. That's why we are doing it tonight,
and I am taking care of Kyle so they can sleep."
"You are going to look after him? I would like to help. I love him
just like my own little brother as well." He says.
"I would love for you to help, I just didn't want to volunteer you
for something without you wanting too. How has work been?" I ask leaning
into him.
He hugs me, "I know, it's been rough. I am sorry, just I want this
so bad. I meant what I said on the beach. I want to wake up to you
everyday."
"I know babe and believe me I want this just as bad! As much as I
want your naked body on me right now, we have to go get Aaron and Silas." I
tell him groping him through his basketball shorts.
He moans out loud. "Are you sure they can't wait?"
I laugh, "Yes babe they need to be picked up from school. What are
we going to do till dinner?"
He raises his eye brows at me, "Well I could think of a few things."
I hit him in the shoulder, "We will have Aaron and Silas with us!"
He shrugs, "Well we can go close up the shop, I am sure Alex wants to
go out and we can come back here and I will change."
"Sounds good to me." I say, pulling him towards me, and I kiss him.
*Buzz* *Buzz*
"Five bucks that's Aaron." Braiden says.
I just make a face at him and check my phone, and its no surprise
that it is Aaron.
Aaron: You on your way yet??
Me: No, about to leave.
Aaron: Stop making out/having sex! School is almost out!
Me: We were not having sex!
Aaron: but you were making out :)
Me: Just be down in the parking lot with Silas.
Aaron: Mind if I make out with him in the back seat :-p?
I didn't even bother to respond to that last text message he sent.
On the other hand Braiden is cracking up laughing, "I am glad you think
it's funny!"
"Lets go!" He says pulling me out the door, and tosses me my
keys. "You are driving, its time to hall your lover around."
I just shake my head, and we get into my car. "I am going to kill
Aaron!" I say frustrated.
"I thought it was funny. Is this how he was before he...well before
he tried to end his life?" Braiden asks.
I nod, "Yeah, just like this, he was always so happy."
"Do you think its cause of Silas?" He asks.
"I really do. I am glad he has a boyfriend. He is so much happier
now. It's like the Aaron I first knew, which could be a trip." I tell him.
"Can I talk to you about a touchy subject?" Braiden asks.
"Babe we can talk about anything!" I say keeping my eyes on the road.
He grabs my hand, "Well, Ryan and this mystery girl are going to be
at the dinner and so are Silas, and me. Don't you think it's only right if
we let Jake come for Lexie...."
"No!" I shout, "I don't want anyone related to Jon in my house,
around me or my sister, or family for that matter!"
"Chasen just fucking stop being so judgmental! You don't know half
of the shit this kid has been through, he can't help who his damn brother
is, you cannot condemn him for what Jon did. He is actually a decent kid.
Have you even had a conversation with him other than grilling him about
being Jon's brother?" Braiden says looking at me in disbelief.
I don't say anything at first; I don't even know what to say I never
have seen Bray this upset with me. I know he is right. "You are right...I
am just being a dick. I guess it would be cool for him to come tonight, I
mean Lexie hasn't been the nicest to me.
"This is the Chasen that I fell in love with." Braiden says as he
kisses my cheek.
We pull into the high school, and I see Aaron, and Silas sitting in
the grass holding hands. Aaron laughing as Silas teased him about
something.
"Looks like they are enjoying themselves." Braiden comments.
"They do. That is good because I don't want Aaron worrying so much,
about Kyle. I just want him to be happy." I say.
Braiden looks over at me. "You are very protective of him, much more
so than any of your family members."
I shrug, "I guess its cause I knew him for so long. Well before I
knew any of my family."
The boys see us and wave, they both get up heading over to us, Aaron
reaches us first smiling, "Sup love birds."
"Us love birds? Couldn't tell by the way you both were acting out
there." Braiden shoots back smiling.
This causes Silas to blush. "Well, what are we doing?" Aaron asks.
"We are going to the surf shop, and close. Since we have time to
kill." I tell them as they get into the car.
I hear them giggling in the back, I check the mirror and I see Silas
jabbing Aaron in the sides causing him to squirm, finally Aaron leans into
Silas and he puts his arm around him.
"So are ya'll announcing that you are going out tonight?" Braiden
asks.
I hear Silas coughing in the back, "Ummm....I guess so." He says.
"WE ARE!" Aaron yells laughing.
Braiden and I just shake our heads, well that's good. "How was
school?"
"It was just fantastic mother!" Aaron replies smirking at me.
"Aaron you have a little white stuff on your cheek." I say
laughing.
This causes him to kick my seat and I see Silas has turned bright
red.
I laugh hard as I pull into the shop, and its still busy, "Well
that's a good thing right?" I ask.
Bray looks over and smiles, "Yeah, the last week and all sales and
all have gone up a lot. I am happy about it a lot."
We get out of the car, and I say I am going to go look at the
beach, Aaron follows me down to the beach, and I sit down and so does he.
"You scared about this weekend?" He asks.
I smile, "I am so nervous.... This is a huge step for me and him."
He lays his head on my shoulder, "I bet, I can't believe how much
our lives have changed.... Hell I remember meeting you for the first time.
I was like holy fuck I want to kiss him!" Aaron says laughing.
"You have kissed me a few times! Never with my consent though!" I
say nudging him.
He laughs, "Well it's the only way I was going to get to!"
We go quiet for a minute just looking at the ocean. "Aaron, did
you ever think we would end up here in California?"
"I didn't think I would make it past the age of fifteen...Do you
ever think of Tanner or Troy?" He asks.
I shrug, "Yeah, I think a lot of Tanner. He really did hurt me,
but he also saved me. It just sucks to see the person that you held on the
highest pedal stool, disappoint you...I just wished we could have patched
shit up before he died. As for Troy, yeah I feel bad I do think about him
and all of them honestly, just I don't know how to reach out to them.
Sometimes I think it's better to let them alone I brought enough trouble to
them." I say digging my feet into the sand.
"I miss Troy; he was my best friend for so long! He didn't care
that I was gay. Or had lesbian moms that were never home! I just wished he
would have talked to me, after Tanner died. He was so distant and so
messed up on drugs, and when we fought... It was like a piece of my heart
was ripped apart." He says leaning into me again.
"We can't dwell in the past lil bro. Look at our lives we both
have someone special and I am getting MARRIED! Never ever though I would
ever say that! Its crazy man." I tell him.
Aaron looks at me squinting. "I just wished I could see you both
getting married. What do you plan to do, once your back? Are you moving
out?"
I shrug once more, "I don't know. We talked about moving out to
our beach house. But with Kyle so sick right now I don't think it would be
a good idea. I want to start helping out as much as I can with him."
"Are you worried he won't make it? Because I am so scared for
him." He says.
"Yeah I'm worried about him, but he is a tough kid. He has been
battling this mess for awhile now. We just have to help keep him in good
spirits even when he wants to give up." I tell him.
"Yeah you are right. So what do you think of Silas?" He asks
looking back at the surf shop.
I laugh, "He is awkward. Very awkward, but I mean if he makes you
happy I don't see what's not to like about him. As long as he treats you
right then we are good. Plus it's good he is cute."
Aaron smiles, "He is really cool. His parents are odd, like really
odd. He isn't though."
"You really do like him huh?" I ask.
"Yeah, he doesn't even mind the whole I tried to kill myself thing
either!" He says shrugging.
I wrap my arm around him, "Lil man I told you once you found
someone they wouldn't care. Are most of your fingers still numb?"
He nods his head, "I think I want Silas to be my first."
I choke on my own spit, "Whoa man, why are you even thinking about
that right now? I mean give it some time."
He gives me a shit eating grin, "I don't mean anytime soon!"
(Ryan's POV)
She lays her legs across mine, as she flips through her magazine. I
just watch her intensely, and she finally looks up at me with her green
eyes. "What?" She says smiling.
I just shake my head, "Nothing. Can't I just watch you? You are
beautiful you know?"
She laughs lifting her legs off me and leans into me, "Now Ryan
James that charm might work on every other girl but not me."
"Really? Cause I think it is." I tease and kiss her head.
"Well maybe a little, but not too much." She says looking up at me.
"So we need to talk about this dinner tonight." I tell her.
She sits up and looks at me, "Yes we need to, why haven't you let
me meet them yet? We have been dating for a few months now. I mean my
parents adore you."
I shift, "Well my family is a little complicated at times, I have a
big family at home. Just my little brother is really sick lately and I
wanted to warn you, before the dinner. I mean you don't have to come." I
tell her.
"Aaron, or Kyle? Ryan! I have been looking forward to meeting your
family for so long. I see most of your siblings at school but I haven't
said anything to them, because you asked me not too. Why have we been
keeping us secret?" She asks looking intensely at me.
I take her hand, "I know Nikki I am so sorry, just I wanted to tell
them earlier, because I don't bring just any girl home. You are someone I
truly deeply care about, and I want you to know that. We haven't even had
sex and I was scared I didn't want our relationship to become just about
sex. I had to many past ones like that. You are different."
She smiles. "Well just because you can charm girls, doesn't mean
you get into my pants. So who is sick and what is wrong? I have noticed
you have been very stressed lately."
"Kyle. He has cancer. He's had it for awhile I guess. Just we
never knew that when he was sick those where the signs he had. We all feel
pretty worthless that we couldn't have prevented it. I mean I am his big
brother! I should have known." I say trying not to cry.
She puts her hand on my face and making me look at her. "Ryan
you're just eighteen I am sure Kyle doesn't blame you at all. He is young
so he can fight this mess. I know it's hard, but I am here for you. Just
tell me next time!"
"Thanks, babe." I say leaning in and kissing her.
She laughs, "You are not what I expected, or anything like I
thought American boys would be like." She tells me.
"How are they supposed to be?" I ask.
"Rude, obnoxious, perverted! It is what we are told over there, but
American boys are so sexy." She says with a little laugh.
I smile, "Yeah, well my little London girl is all I could of hoped
for!" I say holding her hand.
She runs her hand through my hair, "You look so good with a
haircut! I wished my hair was as light blonde as yours."
"Well you look perfect babe. So lets go over who is going to be
over at the dinner. I don't want you to be confused." I tell her.
"Yes I was going to ask that. I know your brothers and sisters
will be. She says looking at me smiling.
"Ok, well my brother Chasen will have his boyfriend over, yes he is
gay. Aaron who is my adopted brother will most likely have a friend over,
and then I will have the most beautiful girl with me!" I say and kiss her
forehead.
"What do I need to wear?" she asks getting up.
"What you are wearing is just fine." I say smiling.
"Ryan James! I am not wearing shorts and a tank top to your
parent's house. I am only wearing this because I am at home! How about
some jeans and a nice shirt?" she asks.
"Sounds great, can I come and watch you change?" I ask grinning
knowing she wont go for it.
She fakes a laugh, "No! You can stay right here and I will be only
a minute."
I watch her go towards her room; I know I am a lucky guy. I relax
on the couch stretching out. I haven't checked in with my mom on how Kyle
is feeling. I am nervous for Nikki to meet everyone. Not because I am
embarrassed by my family its just I really like her a lot, and I never
bring girls home.
I pull out my phone and text Chasen, -Hey you heard from parents?
Chasen- No, not yet just picked up Aaron and Silas.
Me- Oh, so who else is going to be there? Should I text one of the
parents to see how Kyle is?
Chasen- Yeah Aaron is bringing his boyfriend, and I want Jake to come
for Lexie.
Me- Wait Aaron has a boyfriend?
Chasen- Yes! Shit forgot he was going to tell everyone tonight.
Me- Ahh, that explains a lot. I thought you hated Jake? Has anyone
told Ricki isn't she like Kyle's girlfriend?
Chasen-Dude call dad and ask. Well it took a lot of convincing to let
Jake come.
Me- Fine I will call dad. I don't know why it took Braiden to tell
you Jake is an ok dude. He isn't his brother.
Chasen- I KNOW!
Me- haha loser.
My brother is insane, for what it's worth I like Jake he seems like
a cool kid, just dealt a shitty hand like Chasen was. I flip through my
contacts and find my dads number and hit call.
"Hello?" He answers quickly.
"Hey dad what's up?" I ask.
"Trying to fire up the grill to cook the steak, it's been a long
day at the office. Is something wrong?" he asks.
I hesitate, "No dad everything is good. Would you like me and
Nikki to come early I can help you, and I am sure Nikki would like to help
mom out."
I hear my dad let out a breath, "Who is Nikki, and sure if you
want."
"Nikki, is my girlfriend dad and we will be there soon." I tell him
and hang up the phone.
As I hang up the phone Nikki walks in the room with a nice pair of
blue jeans on and a black shirt with the Eiffel tower on it. "You look
very pretty." I tell her.
She blushes, "Thanks Ry. Who was that on the phone?"
"My dad, I asked him if he wanted us to come over early help
out. Maybe you and my mom could get to know each other better. I mean that
is if you want." I say getting up shifting uncomfortably.
"Yeah, that would be great." She says pulling me towards the door.
We pull into my drive way. I shut off the engine, and look over at
Nikki and let out a sigh of breath.
"Are you ok babe?" She asks.
I give a tight smile, "I'm just nervous I really am. I want
tonight to go good, but I am just scared Kyle might be sick and just..."
She cuts me off, "So what, Ryan James it's your family so it must
be great. I don't care if they are horrible people. Which I know they are
not, so what you have a lot going on in your family's life. Suck it up,
and we will deal with it as it comes."
I just lean over and kiss her. We get out of the car and make our
way into the house.
"Mom, I brought over Nikki!" I yell out.
I see my mom come around the corner, I can tell she is stressed her
blonde hair is in a messy pony tail. "Hey sweetie." She says.
"Mom this is Nikki. Nikki this is my mother." I say smiling.
"Its really great to meet you Mrs. Tarrant." Nikki chimes in.
This causes my mom to smile, "Honey just call me Caroline. It's so
great to meet you as well. Ryan why don't you go help your father out
back." She says.
"Someone mention me!" My dad says as he walks in drying his hands
off.
I introduce him to Nikki, and of course he likes her. We all go
our separate ways. Mum takes Nikki into the kitchen while dad and I go out
the back. "So how is everything today?"
My dad is lighting the grill, "It's going son. So Nikki she is
British?" He asks.
I put my hands in my jeans, "Yeah and I really like her."
"Good, I am happy for you son. She seems like a really nice girl."
He turns and looks at me, and shifts, "So I have to ask... Are you using
protection?"
My jaw drops, "Whoa dad! Nikki and I aren't even having sex we
don't want our relationship to become nothing but sex. Dad when we do have
sex there will be protection!"
He laughs, "Good, because I am horrible at this talk!"
"It's not one that I really want to have with you. Where is Kyle?"
I ask.
My dad runs his hands through his hair, "His room he really won't
come out right now. He's been sick this morning. I never expected one of
my kids to have to go through this. Not at such a young age....I was your
age when I had to watch your grandpa go through the battle with cancer. I
just don't want the same outcome as your grandfather had for Kyle."
"Dad, Kyle is strong he will be fine." I reassure him.
(Chasen)
"Are you ready? We are running out of time and I need to go pick
up Jake." I say as me and Aaron walk into the shop.
"Yup all done." Braiden says as he closes the safe.
Damn he has a fine ass, I love when he bends over. I think to
myself, Aaron hits me in the stomach with his hand, "I know what you were
thinking!" He says to me. I just smile.
Braiden comes up and kisses me, I kiss him back, "I am ready to go
anywhere with you." He says in-between kisses.
"Really!? I don't want to watch a make out show!" Aaron complains.
We both laugh at this, "Ok lets go." I say.
Walking to the car my phone starts to ring, I look at the caller
I.D. to see that it's Ryan. "Hello." I say answering the phone.
"Hey, Nikki and I are already here. Are you on your way?" He
asks.
"We are about to head that way, I am dropping off everyone and I am
going to go get Jake. Has anyone asked about Ricki?" I say getting into
the car with everyone else.
"Yeah I am going to go pick her up right now." He says.
"That's good, so how are the parents?" I ask while I buckle up.
He hesitates, "They are really stressed, and tired. I can see it
on their faces. Kyle hasn't been feeling the best today."
I let out a sigh, "Well did you book them the room? That will give
them some time to rest and all."
"Yeah the room is booked and ready to go. So we are telling them
at dinner right?" He asks I can hear him start up his car.
I am glad Braiden decided to drive and let me talk to Ryan because
I am a horrible driver while I am on the phone.
"Yeah we will tell them then. Plus I have to tell everyone
something. Are you and Nikki staying the night?"
"Oh God your pregnant?" He says trying not to laugh to hard.
"Ha-Ha asshole, no something better than that." I shoot back at
him.
"Well just wanted to know if I was going to be an Uncle. I have no
clue if Nikki is going to stay over. Just depends on how well tonight
goes."
I laugh, "Well it should be an adventure I don't know when the last
time we were all together for something like this."
"It's been awhile, but look man I am almost at Ricki's house. I
will see you at the house when you get back." He says and hangs up.
I look up and we are already at my house, "Well I am going to go
get Jake. I will be back soon." I say.
I watch Aaron, Braiden, and Silas walk to the house. I couldn't
ask for better people in my life. I take a deep breath. I don't even know
how to approach this upcoming talk with Jake. I know he isn't like his
brother, but it still scares me that Lexie like him.
I take my time driving to Braiden's house, not like it's very far
away. But I needed to think about what to say. Braiden is right maybe Jake
is like me, got dealt a shitty life, and he isn't like his brother or his
father for that matter. I know if Tanner and his family wouldn't have
taken me in I doubt I would even be alive. My own mother probably would
have killed me in her drunken rage.
I pull into the driveway of Braiden's house; I know his parents
aren't home. That and Jake is living in Braiden's old room. So I use the
spare key to get into the house. It is quiet in the house. It seems so
odd, because every time I am here Ian is here and it's just a lively house.
I walk up the stairs and stop at the door. I knock and open the
door. I see Jake sitting in a computer chair with headphones on; I walk up
and tap him on the shoulder. I didn't expect the next thing.
He turns around so fast and throws up his hands as if to block
someone from hitting him. I can see the fear in his eyes, and I know those
eyes. I used to have the same look in mine.
He frantically takes out the earphones, "Dude take it easy." I say.
He fumbles over his tongue, "Sorry, just I didn't think anyone
would be here."
"It's cool no need to explain, it is just me here." I say looking
around the room. He hasn't put anything up on the walls yet even though he
has everything nicely stacked into a corner. "Why don't you decorate the
room?" I ask.
He shrugs, "I don't want to get my hopes up. This could just be a
temporary thing."
I sit at the edge of the bed, "Dude it's not. If it was I know
Susan and Karl wouldn't have bought you things for the room."
He looks at his feet, "I'm just nervous that it will be going fine
and then I have to leave, because I did something stupid."
I put my hand on his shoulder he still flinches, "Dude, you know
there son had a freaking kid and they didn't throw him out or anything."
"Well it's my luck they would throw my out!" He says a little
defiantly.
"Jake, I know that luck I used to have it! Now I came over to see
if you wanted to come over to the house with everyone else." I say.
He looks up at me, "Really? What changed your mind?"
I sigh, "Braiden talked to me about you. He says I was being too
harsh on you, and I was. I know you aren't your brother Jon even though I
fought against Braiden he was right your not. He said you both talked for
awhile."
"Braiden is really a cool guy." He says as he is trying to itch he
arm in his cast.
"Yeah he is, I used to be just like you man, but it wasn't my
brother or father. It was my mom. Plus it didn't help that I was gay, she
would get drunk and beat me to where I couldn't move. She would throw
things at me, just wouldn't stop until she was to tired, or spit on me for
being pathetic. I understand how you feel man. That look in your eyes
when I scared you, I used to have that same look. The flinching, the being
scared that any moment it will all change back to something horrible, I
understand more than anyone we know." I tell him.
"You used to get beat?" He asks.
I lift the back of my shirt up so he can see the scars that are
still left. I hear the intake of his breath.
"Yeah man, I got beat a lot. The thing is I know you're not your
brother, and I know I am not my mother. I know you and Lexie like each
other. I shouldn't be the one to stand in your way man.
He smiles, "Thanks so much. I hate Jon just as much as the next
person. I am so scared to ever turn out like him that I make sure I
don't!"
I smile back, "Well come on get dressed dude, cause if not we are
going to be late."
"I don't know what to even wear!" He says looking through his
closet.
"Well jeans and a shirt, would be a good thing." I say picking on
him.
I watch as he takes off his shirt, and I can see his ribs are still
in bandages. It makes my heart sink that people can do this to others and
have no remorse. I mean this poor kid has a broken arm and banged up
ribs. Bruises that are purple and yellow, it hurts me to know that, there
is hate like that in the world.
"Umm.... Chasen.... Could you like help me button up my pants? I
can't with this damn cast." He asks looking embarrassed.
I snap out of my thought, "Yeah man sorry, was in la-la-land."
I reach to button his pants and I can tell he is blushing, "Dude,
don't worry about this. I don't care." I tell him as I button and zip his
pants.
"Thanks..." He mumbles.
"Just curious, what do you wear when you're in school, because I
can't see you asking a guy in the bathroom to unzip you?" I say smiling.
"I wear basketball shorts. I would probably piss my self instead
of asking anyone else." He says.
I just laugh, "Then why did you ask me?"
He blushes, "Cause you're nice. That and we can relate we gone
through a lot of the same things. Plus you want me to look decent in front
of your sister."
I laugh, "Okay, okay I will give you that, hurry up dude put on
your shirt and deodorant and I will help you with your shoes, but we got to
get going."
"Dude ok! I can only go so fast I am injured, not in shape like
you!" He says laughing.
I help him with his shoes and his shirt, practically pulling it on
over his head, "Ok let's go!"
(Braiden's POV)
Everyone is getting ready to sit down at the table, I'm getting
anxious, because Chasen still isn't back yet. "Relax. He will be here
soon." Ryan says.
I give him a weak smile, I know he will. I am just a bundle of
nerves since we are telling everyone tonight. "I'm trying, just...nervous."
I tell him.
He just gives me a look. I go sit next to Lexie who is not too
happy. "What's up?"
She looks over at me, "A whole lot of nothing where is Chasen?"
"He just had to get something from my house. So do you like
Ricki?" I ask motioning to her as she talks with Kyle.
She shrugs, "I guess. I mean at least Kyle is a little happier than
he was. I really don't know her all that well. How is Jake?"
"He's good, still trying to get used to living with my family. He
is a cool dude, just had a really, really messed up family with no love." I
tell her.
"I miss him, I really like him Bray. Just wished Chasen wouldn't
be such a dick!" She says.
I shake my head, "Lexie! Your brother is protective of you and
your brothers. You have to understand his concern, as well. I have talked
to him about Jake."
Just as I finish my sentence the door opens, and in comes my
fianc‚. "JAKE!" I hear Lexie yell as she runs to him and hugs him. I
just wink at Chasen who smiles.
I get up and head over to Chasen, "So was it so bad?"
He smiles, "No, he is a good kid like you said. Sucks what he had
to go through though."
Lexie slaps him, "You could have told me!" She says.
He laughs, "Well then you would have been all nice. Besides I had
to help him look nice for you."
We all laugh, and Jake grows red in the face. "Boys! Lets get into
the dinning room!" Caroline says ushering us into the other room.
We go and sit at the table, there is all kinds of food. I already
met Nikki she is really cool. Aaron and Silas can't stop touching hands or
feet I just laugh at them, and Ricki is sitting next to Kyle. I feel bad
for him he is tired looking.
Kevin leans and kisses Caroline, "Well lets eat shall we?"
We pass the food around, and laugh and joke around. Chasen helps
Kyle cut the steak up so he can eat it easier. I fall more in love with
Chasen, and see how much family actually means to him. He grabs my hand
and smiles. I squeeze his and smile back.
We finish dinner and just relax and talk about everyday things like
school, and things. Aaron speaks up. "So I wanted everyone to know that
me and Silas are together!" He says with a smile.
Lexie chimes in, "DUH! I think everyone know that! And its Silas
and I are together."
I laugh at Lexie, she smiles over at me.
Aaron comments back, "Whatever and don't be jealous cause you are
still single!"
This gets him a scolding from Caroline, "Aaron! Be nice, or you are
grounded."
"Well, I like Lexie. A lot and I hope to go out with her soon." Jake
says looking around.
Lexie smiles, and grabs his hand. Caroline just winks at him. Kevin
says they will talk later with a laugh.
I nudge Chasen, and he looks at me. I nod, "I am pretty sure it's
time." I tell him.
"Time for what?" Ryan asks.
Chasen takes a deep breath, "Well...Braiden asked me to marry him,
and I said yes. We leave this weekend to New York and get married..." He
says looking around.
I grab his hand as everyone just looks at us; Kevin is the first to
speak. "New York?"
"Yes sir, I have it set up where me and him can get married I would
love to have done it here but since our state doesn't allow it. I figured
we would in New York City. Even though it wont be recognized I want to do
this so when it is we will be one step ahead." I say.
He nods his head, "You both have thought this through?"
"Yes sir." We both say.
"I am happy for the both of you." Caroline says.
"Me too! Ugh! I so wish I could go. I could have set the whole thing
up!" Lexie says.
We both laugh at her, "Yeah that's what I was afraid of. You'd take
over!" Chasen says.
"You're marrying a dude?" Ryan looks at both of us.
Nikki hits him, "Ryan James stop being rude. I think it's great."
Kyle nods his head and smiles, Aaron is grinning like a goof
ball. "Well we have other news as well." I say.
"Yeah Mom, Dad we have booked you both a hotel room for tonight, its
paid for and we all want you to go and get some rest. We all know you are
tired and work a lot. So you need to get ready too leave like soon!" Ryan
says.
"Honey that's so sweet but we can't I need to be here for Kyle."
Caroline says.
"No mom. I am taking care of my little brother tonight!" Chasen says.
She smiles, "Well I haven't packed."
"That's ok mom I did it all for you and dad!" Lexie says pointing to
the suitcases.
Kevin just smiles, "Well damn honey I guess we have no more excuses."
"Braiden, and Chasen I want to see you in my office though. Caroline
lets get ready to go." Kevin says as Aaron and Lexie start putting the
dishes away, Kevin motion for me and Chasen to follow him.
(Chasen POV)
I am nervous as hell, as we follow my dad into his office; hardly any
of his kids go in the office. We get in and he shuts the door. He leans on
his desk and runs his hands through his hair.
"Boys you both know I am very proud of you and how far each of you
have come. This is a big step. Are you sure you are ready to make it?" he
asks.
"Yes sir." Braiden says.
"Dad I know I am ready." I tell him.
He puts his hands up as to say he's neutral, "Ok. That's what I
wanted to know, but Chasen you are going to have to move out and I
recommend with Braiden. No its not because you are gay. I believe that
you both need to be together more than just spending the night over at each
others houses. You need to learn to function as a unit."
I just look at my dad I am shocked. I don't even know what to
say...I just nod my head.
"Mr. Tarrant I agree with you. I want you to know I will do whatever
I can to take care of Chasen. That and since the hospital is close to our
beach house, which is where we will be moving into. I want you to know
that when Kyle has treatments he can stay with us, or you and Caroline can.
It has three rooms." Braiden says.
He walks towards me and hugs me, "I am more proud of you than you
know." He lets me go and shakes Braiden's hand. "Now I am ready to leave
and have a great night with my wife."
We walk with him back to the front door, where Caroline is telling
everyone where numbers and medicine is, she kisses each of us on the cheek.
We see them off and I turn to look at everyone.
"I will take Ricki and Jake home. Silas are you staying?" Ryan asks.
"Yeah I am." He says holding Aaron's hand.
We watch as Jake and Ricki say their goodbyes, I turn to Kyle and ask
if he is ready to go lay down and he is.
"How are you feeling?" I ask.
He shrugs as he holds on to me going up the stairs. "Not to great
I'm really tired. I'm glad Ricki came to see me."
"I am glad she came too." I help him into his room, and wait outside
the door of the bathroom for him. "You ok in there?" I ask.
"I'm just feeling nauseas...." He says.
I hear him fall, I run into the restroom, and help him make it over
to the toilet. "Kyle come on. Its ok." I tell him.
He is crying as he starts to puke into the toilet, I just rub his
back and soothe him. "It's going to be ok lil man."
"I'm sorry..." He says as he is gasping for breath.
"Nothing to be sorry for." I tell him as he leans back onto me.
"I'm sorry." He says wiping his mouth off on his shirt.
"Kyle stop, there is nothing to be sorry about you are sick." I
say.
He buries his head into my chest and starts to cry, "I hate this so
much...I'm so tired of hurting all the time! I just want it to all end"
I hold onto him hugging him, until his crying subsides. I help him
off the floor and into the room. "Come on. Just lay down ok I will be in
my room if you need me." I tell him.
I walk into my room and Braiden is shirtless on the bed, with his
eyes closed, I jump on top of him. "Hey babe." I tell him.
He opens his eyes and smiles at me, "Hey sexy. Everything ok?"
I shake my head and move to the side of him, "Kyle got sick. I
feel horrible for him."
"I am sorry babe, I know he will get better just got to give it
time." He says.
I take my shirt off and lay next to him, "I know, but he is just in
so much pain right now. I wished he wasn't in so much pain."
"Me too... So what do you think about your dad saying we need to
move in together?" He asks.
"I like the fact that we are going to, it excites me and scares
me." I say kissing him.
He kisses me back, "You are so fucking sexy."
There is a knock on my door, "Come in." I yell.
Kyle makes his way into my room I see he is so pale. It makes my
heart hurt. "What's up little man?"
"Can I sleep in your room tonight please? I don't want to be
alone..." He says.
I look over at Bray and he nods with a smile, we both scoot over
and I tell him to come on.
He gets into bed and curls up next to me, "I'm sorry.... If I
stopped ya'll from being together...I just don't want to be scared and
alone tonight."
"Little man, you are always welcome to come lay with us." Braiden
says.
I just smile and kiss Braiden. "He is right lil man you didn't do
anything wrong.
