      When Nothing Goes Right
      Chapter 10

      "I don't fuckin' believe this."  Zander said walking straight up to
Kyle as he stood up from the bed.

	"Hey, Zander! Isn't this funny? We're all in here together. We
should hangout like this more often...make new memories." I giggled

	"Is he drunk?" Zander asked Kyle angrily, looking at me.

	"I only had a little....maybe one or five......you know I actually
don't remember how many." I said in my drunken slur as I laid down, my head
had started to really spin.

	 "Zander calm down, he'll be okay." Kyle said with his usual smirk.

	"I can't believe you got him drunk like this. What were you
planning to do with him, take advantage of him like you did me?" Zander
said getting red and even more pissed.

	"Hey, I didn't get him drunk, I only gave him the first beer, and
he did the rest himself." Kyle said defensively.

	"That's not the point, you're supposed to watch out for him. He's
not the party type, Kyle." Zander snapped.

	I sat up and tried to stand, "I am too a party person, I'm a party
animal." I swayed again, everything was spinning and I fell to the floor.

	"Skyler!" Zander said going to the floor to help me.

	"I really don't feel too good." I said feeling nauseated.

	"Ok Sky, I'm taking you home." Zander stated firmly.

	"Zander, he's with me tonight, so thanks for the offer, but I got
this under control." Kyle said.

	"Oh yeah, I bet you do." Zander said really sarcastically giving
him a final look before turning to me and softly said, "Come on Sky, help
me get you to the car."

	Zander put my arm around his neck and helped me up. I completely
leaned against him and it was a wonder how Zander could support me though
visibly it was a struggle as he slowly helped me out the room, down the
stair, and out the front door. Kyle followed us the whole way arguing with
Zander about who was responsible for me. I was getting drowsy and it was
hard to pay attention to who said what. Everything just seemed to blur
together.

      Zander walked me to his car and sat me in the front seat, he closed
the door and then turned to finish his argument with Kyle, while I just
closed my eyes to rest my spinning head.

      "Look Kyle, back off okay." Zander snapped very agitated.

      "So, what now you care about him, after the way you treated him
before, he told me all about how much of an ass you were to him." Kyle said
with a sneer, trying to get under Zander's skin.

      "You don't win any awards on kindness to others yourself." Zander
said getting red from anger.

      "Look, tonight was supposed to be me and Skyler...not you. So I don't
know where you get off trying to play the hero, when no one needs to be
saved. He seriously isn't your responsibility. What's it to you what
happens to him anyway."  Kyle said trying to get his point across in
seriousness.

      "What happens to him is everything to me. It may have taken me awhile
to realize it, but I love him and I'm not going to let you screw him over
like you did to me. He's emotionally fragile, and he needs someone who will
actually be there for him no matter what, and not pretend just to get into
his pants. I may have gotten over what you did to me but he wouldn't be
able to. I know that I haven't been perfect, but I'm going to spend the
rest of my life trying to make it up to him in whatever way I need to. I
didn't deserve what you did to me and Sky sure as hell doesn't deserve it,
he's mine so back off." Zander finished his ranting.

      Kyle started to frown as Zander turned around and walked around the
driver's side. He got into the car and drove off, leaving Kyle standing
there.

      "How are you feeling Sky?" Zander asked putting a hand on my
forehead.

      "Not good man, my ma is gonna freak if she sees me like this." I said
with my eyes still closed.

      "I'll take you to my place and you can crash there." Zander said.

      There was silence for awhile as Zander kept his focus on the road and
I kept my eyes closed trying to stop my head from spinning. After awhile I
looked out the window as we turned onto a familiar street and Zander's
house came into view. I turned away from the window and stared at Zander as
he drove. He didn't take any notice of me watching him.

      "Zander?" I said trying to get his attention.

      "Yes Sky?" Zander asked pulling into the gated driveway and parking
in his usual spot.

      I was silent a few moments as I tried to put the words in my head in
a sensible order that would make sense, which was very hard in the
condition I was in.

      "I really do love you, I love you soo much and I'm sorry...I know you
have a problem with it, but it's just how I feel." I said my words were
still a little slurred.

      Zander had turned off the engine. When I finished he turned to face
me and suddenly my stomach was starting to rise, I'm pretty sure from
nervousness of what I just said to him.

      "Shh, I know Sky, I know. I wanted to talk to you about
something.... You really have nothing to apologize for. All you did say how
you feel, I'm sorry...about how I've been reacting to it. I realized
something though; I can't keep denying my feeling for you and force them to
go away, because no matter how hard I try they won't. I know I'm in love
with you too Sky. The thing is I'm just so scared of being hurt again, but
I know I can't live my whole life being scared. I have to take some chances
and I'm willing too, if you're still interested. I wanna spend the rest of
my life with you Sky. I'm really starting to picture that and I can't
picture it any other way or with anyone else but you.... Sky.....Sky... oh
god Sky, open the door...."

      Too late, I learned forward and threw up all over my clothes and the
car, it felt like I was never going to stop as it went on and on, then
everything went black.
*********************************************************************
***************************************

      I woke up with a major headache, and it hurt to open my eyes to let
the light in so I threw the covers over my head to keep me in darkness. As
I took a deep breath, I took in a scent that was unfamiliar to me but
pleasant. The comforter and sheets felt softer than my usual ones. This was
definitely not my bed.

       I was really confused as I threw the covers off my face, immediately
regretting the sudden movement I made because the sudden light made my head
pound. I tried to look around my surroundings to figure out where I was. It
seemed familiar but I couldn't seem to focus and concentrate my mind to put
things together in my head.

      I looked down at my body under the covers and found myself completely
nude. I suddenly got scared in my confused state of mind. Where was I?
Where the hell did my clothes go? Why couldn't I remember what happened
last night? I

      I was starting to panic when I saw the door open until Zander walked
through it with a smile on his face and a cup in his hands. Finally I was
able to recognize that I was in his room, but still couldn't remember how I
got there. The only thing I could remember was being at the party with
Kyle. Where the hell did he go?

      Zander handed me the cup. I couldn't tell what was in it, it was
thick and had a disgusting color. "How do you feel?" he asked as he wheeled
over his desk chair to the bed to sit down.

      "Like crap." I said still confused. I didn't really know how to act
around him because last time I remembered; we weren't exactly on good
terms. But then how come I'm naked in his bed.

      "Go ahead and drink it, I promise I didn't poison it or anything." he
smiled at me as he was studying my confused facial expressions.

      I hesitated before I took a drink and immediately started to cough
and hack from the taste; it was as disgusting as it looked. Zander just
started laughing at me as I tried to recover and I gave him back the cup
not wanting any more of it.

      "What the hell is that?" I asked trying to get over the after taste
in my mouth.

      "An old family recipe that helps with headaches and hangovers, nasty
huh?"  he replied wiggling his eyebrows at me in a very cute way.

      "Um, where are my clothes?" I asked starting to blush and get really
uncomfortable.

      "Well, you sort of threw up all over them and in my car, so I had to
wash them, I would have kept your boxers on but you sort of had an accident
in them."  He said still smiling amused. "You're a really bad drunk." He
laughed.

      "Oh God, I'm so sorry, man. I ...this is really embarrassing. I hope
I didn't ruin your car. Did I really pee my pants?" I said pulling the
covers over my head feeling miserable at how much I embarrassed myself in
front of Zander of all people.

      "You don't remember anything do you?" he asked with the same smile.
"You were so drunk."

      "Oh I'm never drinking again."

      We sat there in silence not really knowing what to say. Then it
became sort of uncomfortable.

      "So you really don't remember what happened last night?" he asked me
in a more serious tone.

      I thought about it hard, really trying to remember. I started to
remember bits and pieces of things all the way up until I threw up in
Zander's car, but after that I blanked out and I told this to him.

      "Oh, well you were really gone. It took me forever to get you up to
my room." Zander said not taking his eyes off me.

      "I'm really sorry that I put you through so much last night." I said
sort of afraid to look him in the eye.

      "Don't worry about it, it was cool, I didn't mind it at all. It was
sort of nice being able to take care of you." Zander said looking at me in
a sort of gaze.

      I stared back at him for a little while and then finally I caught
myself and replied.

      "So about you and me....um I've realized now that I was stupid and
being selfish. What you did for me last night says a lot about the kind of
person you are.  So I just want you to know that if you still want
friendship with me, I'll be willing to take whatever you're comfortable
with. I'm still into you a lot but if friendship is all you're ready for
then I'll take what I can get." I said sitting up in the bed with my back
against the headboard.

      Zander continued to look at me before he crawled into his bed with me
underneath the covers, then climbed on top of me and kissed me full on
pressing his whole body firmly against mine. I moaned into the kiss getting
totally lost in the sensation that was going through me.

      Zander broke the kiss to lay his head down on my chest and I wrapped
my arms around him a little confused but feeling great at the same time.

      "You know you make it hard to just be your friend." I told him
hugging him to me tighter as if afraid he was going to come to his senses
and realize what he was doing.

      "You probably don't remember this, but last night I tried to tell you
something." He said running his hand over my chest, sending chills all
through my body and I was suddenly aware that I was still naked and Zander
was completely on top of me. He could definitely tell how excited I was at
the moment.

      "Really and what was that." I said between heavy breaths.

      "That I'm in love with you and even though that makes me scared I
want to give you a try. I'm taking one more chance on love, so don't break
my heart okay."  He said looking up at me.

      Suddenly I had flashbacks to all the dreams I've had about Zander and
I knew right then that maybe finally my dreams were coming true.

      "I would never do that intentionally, I'm in love with you too, and
this whole love thing is a new experience for me. I really didn't think it
could happen this fast and in this unlikely situation." I said to him
hugging him even tighter to me.

      "Love is full of surprises I guess." He said giving me another small
kiss on the lips then settling down on my chest were we both fell back
asleep in that position.

*********************************************************************
****************************************

	Kyle was pissed off and extremely jealous from what Zander had told
him last night about his feelings for Skyler. He knew Skyler felt the same
for Zander and that in no time they would be together. This was bad for him
because it would mean his love interest would be unavailable. Well,
actually he wasn't sure if it was really love because he didn't believe in
love with guys, just sex. But for some reason this guy was different and as
he learned more about him, the more he wanted to spend time with him. He
never felt this way about any guy before, so that was really saying
something.

	He was taking out all his frustration and aggressiveness on working
out at his home gym. The doctor told him that this was a better way to do
that than burning rooms down. As he aggressively worked his body out with
sweat dripping down, a thought occurred to him. He'd just bind his time,
he'd become best friends with Skyler which would be tough because Zander
would be very cautious about it, but eventually Sky would get him used to
the idea and it he will be in a false security and when he'd least expect
it, he would make his move and everything would workout for him. Sure it
meant someone would get hurt in the process but they'd get over it sooner
or later. His needs were more important than anyone else's. He'd have him
all to himself.

*********************************************************************
****************************************

	I woke up to the sound of my cell phone ringing. My headache wasn't
as bad any more and I had a bad taste in my mouth. I know I probably
smelled too. When I look down though, Zander was still sleeping peacefully
on my chest. I smiled as I felt him drool a little and he had the cutest
little snore.

       I got lost in this feeling of completeness and temporarily forgot
what had woken me up in the first place until I heard my phone beeping
alerting me to a voicemail. A thought popped into my head that it was
probably my mom worried about me, either worried or very pissed off that I
wasn't home. I reluctantly sat up waking Zander up in the process.

      "Huh, what happened?" Zander said groggily.

      "I think I need to go home." I said sadly

      "Why? Are you having second thoughts about us?" Zander said suddenly
awake.

      "No it's not that. It's just my mom was expecting me home last night
and I haven't checked in with her or anything." I said to him.

      "Oh, well why don't you call her and tell her your spending the day
with me, she'd let you right?" Zander asked me, as he lay his head back
down on a pillow facing me as I was leaned back against the headboard.

      "I don't know she might be pissed, but I'll try. Could you hand me my
cell?"  I asked him.

      "You can get it." Zander smiled as he turned onto his back.

      I smiled back at him as I leaned over him to reach the night stand on
his side of the bed where my cell was located. He wrapped his arms around
me to keep me there a second as we looked into each others eyes and
smiled. I wanted to lean down and kiss him, but was self conscious about
what I'd taste like right now so I reached for my phone and rolled off of
him.

      Zander sat up in the bed with me and got closer to me as I dialed the
number for home. I as waiting nervously as my phone rang hoping that my mom
wasn't too pissed off at me staying out all night. The phone picked up.

      "Hello?" my dad answered in his Spanish accent.

      "Hey pa, it's me." I said.

      "Oh, Joel! Out all night huh?" he asked with a smirk I could hear
through the phone.

      "Yeah I'm sorry, it was an accident, is ma really mad?"

      "Its ok mijo, she'll get over it. So tell me, who's the lucky
girl. Pretty is she?"  he asked with excitement.

      I blushed as I turned to look over at Zander who was watching me the
whole time.

      "I guess you can say that. Dad listen, I'm gonna hangout with a
friend today okay, I'll be home later. Is that alright?" I asked.

      "Sure, go on and hang with your lady friend, make me proud mijo, and
don't worry I'll take care of your ma." He said.

      "Thanks pa." I said smiling.

      "Bye Joel." He said hanging up.

      I put my phone down and looked over at Zander. He put his arm around
my waist and his head on my shoulder.

      "So I am your pretty lady friend?" Zander asked.

      "Oh you could hear him?" I laughed as I leaned my head down on his.

      "Yeah, your phone is a little loud." He said putting his other arm
around me as we both slid down on his bed, Zander using my chest as a
pillow. I smiled loving this feeling that I felt at the moment.

      "Well I do think you're pretty." I said as we both laughed.

      "Who is Joel?" he asked curiously.

      "Oh, that's my middle name. When I was born my parents fought over
what to name me. Skyler isn't really a Hispanic name, but it was my mom's
favorite name, she's white. Anyways my mom always gets her way but they
compromised and my dad got to name me Joel as my middle name, which is
basically the only name he uses for me." I said smiling.

      "Wow, that's interesting. So which name do you like better?"

      "I don't know, I guess I like them both. They're both apart of who I
am, you know being mixed and everything." I said to him.

      "Well what name do you want me to call you." He asked.

      "Hmm...let me think about that." I said pretending to be in deep
thought.  "Baby sounds nice to me." I said laughing.

      Zander started laughing too. "Okay 'Baby', I think it's time for you
to take a shower, no offense but you smell ha, ha."

      "Sure thing....but um...you have a robe or something?" I asked
blushing and getting self conscious again.

      "What's the matter nervous of me seeing you naked? You're a little
too late for that, there's nothing on you inside or out that I haven't seen
since last night."  Zander said making me blush even deeper.

      "Well it's not you, I just have a problem being naked in general." I
said not looking him in the eyes.

      "Okay, babe. I'll lend you my robe."

      I showered in his bathroom and brushed my teeth with the extra
toothbrush he provided for me. The whole time he waited in his room which I
was grateful for and appreciated because even though we were together now,
I was still new at this whole thing and needed time to adjust.

*********************************************************************
****************************************

      "Angie, calm down girl, please." Zander said as he spoke quietly on
the phone.

      "I'm just happy that you two finally had sense enough to stop being
so stupid in the head." Angie said excitedly

      "Yeah me too." Zander smiled.

      "So is he there with you right now?" she asked curiously.

      "Yeah he's in the shower though and he's gonna come out any minute so
I gotta go. Talk to you later." Zander said as he hung up the phone.

      "That was Angie on the phone?" I asked coming out of the bathroom
wearing only a towel and feeling much cleaner.

      Zander jumped not hearing me come out the bathroom and was staring at
me everywhere but my face. "Um yeah."

      "I take it she knows the good news then" I said smiling at him as I
watched him blush.

      He was so cute to me, I couldn't believe that he was finally mine. I
walked over to him staring into his deep blue eyes the whole time as he
stared into mine.  When I got over to him I hesitated a little not really
sure of myself. He smiled know exactly what was going on with me.

      "It's okay Sky," he told me, grabbing my hand and pulling me closer,
"You're allowed to touch me whenever you want, I'm all yours."

      I smiled as I let go of his hand and put my arms around his waist
pulling his smaller body into my bigger one. He smiled as I leaned down
slightly to give him a quick kiss.

      "I know I'm just getting used to it you know." I said looking into
those blue eyes again.

      Zander leaned up and gave me another kiss.

      "I know." He said smiling.

      "This is all very new to me, you're my first boyfriend.....my first
anything really." I told him, kissing him again this time a little more
passionately.

      When I ended the kiss, Zander looked at me with his eyes glazed over
a little.

      "I hope to be your first and only." He told me.

      "I'd love for you to be mine forever Zander." I said hugging him
closer to me.

      We stood like that for awhile before a thought crossed my mind.

      "Zan?" I said pulling back to look at him.

      "Yes babe?" he asked me curiously.

      "Um... you think I can have my clothes back now." I said looking down
at my towel.

      "Oh yeah, they should be done now, let me get them." Zander said
letting me go to turn around to the door.

      When his back was turned I pulled him into me again and he laughed as
he leaned his head back against my chest.

      "Babe, I can't get you your clothes if you don't let go." He
chuckled.

      "Yeah I know, I just missed holding you." I laughed back at him.

      "Awe, that's sweet...now let go." He said breaking out of my arms
turning around to wink at me before leaving through the door.

*********************************************************************
*******************************

      Angie came over and teased us the whole time. She thought we were
cute together though. We hung around the house, me and Zander smiling and
staring at each other, being flirty.

      I have to admit that I was nervous being affectionate to Zander with
someone else there. Sometimes Zander would lean into me and I would look at
Angie and move away a little, smiling politely hoping that Zander wouldn't
take offense. I knew Angie wouldn't mind, but it was like a reflex and I
couldn't help myself.  Zander noticed what was going on with me but he
didn't make a big deal out of it. I was hoping he understood.

      Later we all sat down in the entertainment room and watched some
movies.  Zander leaned into me giving me a look that said it would be okay,
I didn't want to disappoint him with all my awkwardness so I forced myself
to get over being uncomfortable which I did after a few minutes.

      After the movie finished Angie announced that she was going home and
after I said bye to her, Zander walked her out the door. I laid out on the
couch and closed my eyes to smile at myself for a few minutes until I felt
someone climbing over me and giving me a kiss. Zander then got into a
comfortable position laying down on top of me. The back of his head was on
my chest and my arm around him, holding him close to me. His eyes were
closed and I was staring down at him, once again feeling great to be with
him. I hugged him to me tighter. I loved the way he smelled.

      "I love you, you know that?" Zander said with his eyes closed.

      "Yeah I know. I love you too." I said. "Promise me something?" Zander
opened his eyes to look at me.

      "What is it?" he asked me.

      "Promise me that you'll never leave me. That you'll always be here so
that I'm never alone again."

      Zander just looked up at me for a second before he turned over on his
stomach, on top of me, and leaned up to kiss me again.

      "You'll always have me as long as you never hurt me." He said to me
seriously.

      "I would never hurt you, you know that." I said almost hurt that he
would even think that I would hurt him.

      He stayed quiet for awhile, just staring into my eyes, taking my
breath away as I stared back into his blue ones. He always could put
butterflies in my stomach with just a look.

      "I trust you Sky," he said lying back down with his head on my chest,
as I ran my hand through his hair.

      We stayed like that for awhile, just enjoying each other's company

      "You have to talk to me, Sky." He said to me after a few minutes.

      "What? I asked confused.

      Zander suddenly sat up and looked at me his dreamy look became very
serious.

      "Talk to me, I mean I want you to be honest with how you feel about
certain things. I don't want you to keep things to yourself about anything
that I do that makes you uncomfortable or whatever okay."

      "I understand," I said as we leaned in and kissed, "you want to know
something funny?" I asked him as he smiled and nodded. "I had this dream of
us exactly like this, talking about pretty much the same thing, a bunch of
times, it's weird it's like deja`vu, but I'm really glad this dream came
true." I told him.

      "I'm glad too." He replied.

      I put my hand on his face and gazed into his beautiful face as he
leaned in and our mouths met. I really could get used to this. We were
really getting into it and somehow we had managed to become shirtless in
the process. That's about when we heard arguing coming from the door that
led to the garage, but we had separated too late and suddenly Zander's
parents stopped their fighting, surprised at what they just walked in on.

      I suddenly turned red really embarrassed lowering my eyes to the
ground.  While Zander just looked embarrassed as he stared at his parents.

      "Mom, Dad! I guess we should explain."

      This would only happen to me I thought to myself as we thought of how
to explain ourselves.
