Subject: Where Does love begin part 7 - Gay Highschool

It was a humid Saturday afternoon when Drew and Jack arrived at Drew's
house after having been contacted by his parents to let them know that they
were home. Drew was very anxious about this but Jack had told him that he
would be there the whole way through. Drew was put at ease by these words.

His mum and dad welcomed them both in to the house when they got
there. They were very warm to Jack who they were meeting for the first
time. The great smell of food was wafting through the house. Drew sat
quietly beside Jack as he was bombarded with questions from Drew's
mum. After a giving them a brief overview of himself they headed through to
the dining room where dinner was being served by a hired butler. As they
ate Drew's dad took a particular interest in getting to know what both boys
had been doing since the school year had finished. They had had a lot of
leisure time since the end of the school year so they had been filling it
with working out and keeping their football skills up to scratch with
regular practice sessions in the back garden of Jack's house. After the
delicious dinner Drew announced that he had something very important to
tell his mum and dad. All four of them went through to the living room
where his mum and dad sat down on the sofa near the fireplace while Drew
and Jack took the sofa across from them. Drew was sweating from
nerves. This moment meant a lot to him and he couldn't really formulate
words. He had been caught up in the moment he was struggling to find
anything at all to say. His parents were waiting patiently as the butler
brought through a glass of water for Drew who gulped down half the glass
and his nerves settled down slightly. When words did form he said it so
fast his parents probably didn't understand what he was saying.

"Mumanddadiamgay!" said Drew.

"What was that honey?" Drew's mum asked.

"Mum and Dad I am ... gay," said Drew "I hope you don't hate me".

"Oh honey we could never hate you," said his mum. Drew breathed a sigh of
relief "if you know who you are inside then we support you 100%. Don't we
Ian?"

"Of course we do son. How could we ever hate you for who you are." Said his
dad who reached over and patted his sons shoulder. "Is Jack your boyfriend

"Hahaha, no dad were just friends." Drew laughed but Jack felt his stomach
plummet. How could Drew throw their relationship away so casually.

"Oh ok then well you two better be heading off home its getting quite
late. I'm assuming son that you're staying at Jack's tonight?"

"Yes dad I am." Drew said with a chuckle.

Drew's parents each gave him a huge hug as the two boys headed out to the
car and drove back to Jack's house. His parents greeted him and Drew warmly
as they bounded upstairs where they were finally alone and so kissed each
other like there was no tomorrow.

As they got into bed, Jack was still mulling over what Drew had said and it
honestly made him feel a little angry. Jack whispered to Drew but he
feigned sleep so Jack poked at him causing the other boy to squirm. He
mumbled sleepily against the poking.

"What is it?" Drew asked.

"Please don't ignore the elephant in the room, Drew. What the hell was that
back at your house? You could have been honest with your parents about us."
Replied Jack.

"I don't want to talk about it Jack. I've only just came out to my parents
and I really can't be dealing with your constant nagging at me about this
whole boyfriends bullshit."

"Jeez ... I brought it up twice. That's hardly fucking constant. If you're
going to be a dick about it then we should just let it hang awkwardly in
the air. But that's kinda unhealthy."

Drew was mad now. "You're the one being the dick to be honest. You really
need to stop nagging at me. A month ago I was fucking straight and you
weren't even a bleep on my radar. You were nothing to me." As soon as Drew
said it he wished he hadn't. It was in the heat of the moment.

Jack had tears in his eyes, "You know what get the fuck out cause I don't
need to be targeted for your fucking shortcomings. Yeh you are gay now but
I knew it was inside you and you do know that aswell. I don't need to
listen to you berate me for being a support for you when you couldn't face
your family."

Drew whipped the duvet off himself and quickly changed into his clothes
while Jack lay back on his bed frustrated at the situation.

"Do you know what I don't need this bullshit from you!" Drew yelled. "Go to
hell!" And with that Drew flew out of Jack's room and was gone before Jack
was even contemplating going after him. Fucking hell ...
