			      ACCIDENTAL LOVE
				 Chapter 3


On the last week of middle school things got weird. I just couldn't explain
it. It was tuesday night. I woke up from a weird nightmare where i saw
Brandon leaving and i was crying. I don't know why i felt like crying and i
cried in real life. I looked at the time it was 2 am. What the hell was i
doing crying? I looked at my phone. He texted me good night minion right
after i texted him good night and i fell asleep. Just seeing his text made
me feel better though. Then i read my girlfriends text. It said good night
babe. I didn't reply to that one because i figured she'd be asleep. I went
downstairs quietly and got myself a drink. I saw my dads phone on the
table. i'm usually not a nosy person at all, but i figured hey my dads
gotta have some sort of porn on there cuz he's a perv. I opened it and he
had a missed call. Then some messages. One was from Brandon. I panicked so
i called the voicemail to hear. It was nothing, apparently my dad called
him on accident and Brandon was just calling back to be polite. Phew. I
thought Brandon was going to bitch at him for the not letting me go out
more with him. Then the next message played. It was from a lady saying she
couldn't wait to meet up again on the weekend, she ended the message with,
i'll do the same thing that got you off last time. Call me soon baby. It
was in spanish though.  That lady wasn't my mom. I was pissed as hell. I
hit the wall pretty hard. I left a mark. I was mad. How could my dad
cheat. I mean he was supposed to be a role model.

I went up to my room and just lied down. I was going to be super tired for
school tomorrow and it was going to suck. After thinking and thinking about
what i was going to do i decided what i needed to do. i was just going to
ignore it until it became a problem. But eventually i will have to rat him
out because thats some bull shit.

When my alarm went off that morning i did not want to get up. I went
through my daily routine and texted Brandon good morning and then my
gf. Then i got ready for school and went down to the kitchen. I saw my dad
sitting there on his phone talking to some one very quietly. When i got
closer he said he had to go and then hung up. I served myself cereal and
juice and then just pulled out my phone.

"Who are you texting?" he asked irritated.

"Brandon" i replied in a dry tone of voice.

"Why this early?" he asked.

"because i need help with this test I'm taking tomorrow"

"So you can ask me?"

"Ask you about algebra and science?or umm?english?" i had to hit him where
it hurts. English wasn't his best language and well math or science weren't
either.

"What are you saying?" he asked as he walked up to me. For once i wasn't as
scared of him as i usually was.

"I'm saying i needed his help thats all" i said.

"Ok. Well do you have money i need 10 dollars for gas" he asked me.

"No i don't. And didn't you work last week and yesterday you were gone a
lot"

"What are you saying?" he asked.

"That you should have money"

"I get paid tomorrow"

"Ok well no i don't have any. i bought a game with my money"

"You're useless" he told me as he walked away.

I was so fucking mad. He had the balls to tell me i was useless. I was his
fucking son.

I finished my cereal and then headed outside to wait for the bus.

That day at school sucked. I was thinking over and over again about the
message i heard, then i kept thinking about my dad calling me useless. I
hated it. At lunch time my girlfriend came up to me and gave me a hug as
usual but i didn't hug back.

"Carlos, you're different" she told me.

"What how?" i asked.

"I don't know. But i have to tell you something"

"What?" i asked.

"I went to a dance yesterday"

"on a monday?" i asked.

"yeah thats why i didn't text much. But?i met someone" she said.

"Oh cool. someone famous or what?" i asked as i grabbed my food. We walked
to our table. We were the only ones there for now.

"No i mean, i met someone. A guy. And?we kissed. and i feel terrible and i
hate the fact that i cheated" she said.

"Oh?." was all that came out of my mouth.

"I'm so sorry Carlos. We can't be together. I messed up" she said.

"I really don't like that. But i don't want to break up. Just don't do it
again babe" i told her. I didn't want to loser her now. Besides brandon she
was the only other person who actually spent time with me.

"No you don't get it ok. I let myself down ok." she said as she got
up. "i'm sorry carlos. you deserve better" she said before she walked away.

Better. Puff. right. i told myself.

at this point the only better thing would be to go drink a beer and i hate
the smell of it. After the test i took which Brandon gave me good tips for
i realized there was only one person i wanted to see that would make me
smile and laugh. Brandon. I texted him and told him if he could pick me up
from school because i was having a terrible day. in a matter of minutes he
texted sure thing minion and i told him where to get me. I met up with
Eddie in passing period.

"So i heard what happened?" he told me.

"Yeah?d?j? vu huh" i said. I shrugged my shoulder.

"Hey, man theres plenty of bitches in high school. And we can spend all
summer preparing. Looking at porn and shit" he told me.

"Um?I don't know. Maybe i guess." i told him.

"Are you ok bro?" he asked me.

"No and yes. Found out some bad shit. But i'll tell you about it later." i
said. He looked at me confused. I kind of wanted to invite to come with me
when Brandon picked me up, but i decided not to. We did a lot of stuff
together so I don't think he would mind.

"Well thats cool then. Hey, i'm going out of town right after school
friday, but i'll be back in 3 weeks so we can chill all summer alright?" he
told me. At this point i didn't care. I was mad at the world.

"Thats cool man. Alright well i'll see you tomorrow at lunch" i told him as
i hurried to class.

The rest of the day dragged but eventually the last bell rang and I headed
to parking lot to meet up with Brandon. I was walking really fast i just
wanted to get out of the school. Some of my friends caught up to me and
tried talking to me. They walked with me and tried to talk a little and i
kept the conversation until I saw Brandon's car. When we walked up to it
they stopped.

"Nice ride man. Who's is it?" they asked.

"My big brothers car. Gotto go guys" i said to them as i walked around and
got in. I waved bye and they were just standing there.

"Hey there" he told me as i put my seatbelt on.

"Hey brandon thanks a lot" i said as we did our handshake.

"Whats going on?" he asked.

"Just drive please. Lets go somewhere fun" i told him.

"Sure thing boss" he said.

He took me to eat to Dave and Busters and we had a really good time. I
didn't even tell him anything bad yet we just ate and then played lots of
games until it was time to go home. Well i didn't want to go home but i had
to since i didn't even tell my dad where i was going i just told my mom i'd
be home by 6 pm.

We were in the parking lot when my dad called. I had to answer.

"Where the fuck are you" he asked.

"I'm with some friends dad" i said.

"With who?"

"Brandon and Eddie" i said. I kind of lied.

"I didn't give you permission"

"Mom did" i said.

"Well get home now" he told me.

"Okay i'm going in a little" i said. I hung up and i started crying. I
couldn't handle the pressure inside me.

Brandon quickly hugged me and i fell right into his arms.

"Don't cry bro its ok you'll be fine i'll take the blame" he said.

"no no. its not that" i said crying.

"what is it?" he asked.

"My dads a bitch. He is. He's a fucking bitch. he treats me good then bad,
then he makes me feel bad, then he fucking pretends to be my friend, then
he makes me feel bad for caring about you. its not fair" i said. I was all
messed up.

"You're fine bro. Its going to be ok. I'm your superman and i'll make sure
you're fine" he said.

when he said that i cried more. He was the best person ever. I looked up at
him. he smiled. His smile made me feel good. Then i panicked why was i
hugging him in a parking lot. I backed off.

"you'll be fine" he assured me again.

"Brandon, i found out my dad's cheating" i told him.

"Come on get in the car" he said.

We got in, he started it, we started driving, and then he finally cleared
his throat.

"You don't know its true like do you have proof?" he asked me.

"Well i heard a message from some stupid bitch"

"Maybe it was the wrong number, or a prank call?"

"I didn't think about that."

"Maybe. You never know. I mean you can either find more evidence or just
let it go. Its really not your problem. He should be the one focusing on
being a good father, you're a good kid. its not your burden to carry" he
told me.

"I know i know. But i just hate it. I do. You know what Brandon, i'm
spending the night at your house tonight" i told him.

"You are?" he asked.

"yes. i am." i said. It was about time i put my foot down. i needed to
start showing my dad that i wasn't a kid anymore.

"Well thats fine with me but just don't get in trouble" he told me.

"Yeah i know and i'm single again" i said it.

"Again? what happened bro?" he asked.

"Same shit. Got cheated on"

"thats terrible. Minion, you deserve better. If i was her, i would have
never cheated ever you're amazing" he said.

I smiled. Too bad he wasn't her. i told myself. Damn it. why did i just
think that. I shook my head.

"Its ok. I'll be fine" i said.

"Ok minion no more sad talk. Just funny talk" he told me.

I agreed and the rest of the way home we came up with plans for the summer
and on ways on how i could stay over without getting in trouble so
much. Today's plan was, to lie. I was going to say i was going to Eddie's
and my best friends house because we had a huge final project. My parents
were strict, but when it comes to school projects, they usually are less
mad. My dad. My mom has her moments but most of the time she's cool with me
going out places.

We planned on swimming, then studying, then we would watch a movie and just
sleep. it was a great plan. Now all i had to do was tell my parents. And by
tell i mean lie to them.

When we pulled up to my driveway he wished me luck, we did our handshake
and I walked in with a mission. He was supposed to wait for me at the park
across the block.

I walked in. I breathed in. My dad was sitting on the couch.

"Oh look who's home. The big boy who can decide when he can walk into MY
house" he said in his stupid tone of voice.

I walked right past him and went to my mom.

"mom, i'm staying at my friends house. Eddie and i have to finish this
stupid project for a final. Its worth so much of my grade and you know how
eddie is. If i don't show up he's going to mess up mom" i told her.

"OH honey you're going to have to ask your dad and he's in a bad mood
today." she said. When he was in a bad mood she didn't even bother going
against his decisions.

"Mom thats not fair. What if i fail" i told her.

"I don't know honey. Cant you guys do it here?"

"No mom. we can't. My house is too small" i said.

Just then my dad walked into the kitchen.

"What does he want" he asked my mom.

"I'm going to my friends house to stay so i can finish my project so i can
get a good grade" i said. I said it firmly.

"So you can decide what you do now?" he asked me.

"Well maybe when you start working like a real man you can start deciding
again" i said as i walked away. I slammed the door to my room and started
crying. I wanted to just climb through my second story window and run to
Brandon but i was trapped.

Within minutes my dad opened the door.

"Carlos, you can go." he said.

"But i'm really hurt you said that." he told me. He tried crying. Fuck. I
hate it when he cries.

"Dad, don't. Ok. I'm going, but i don't want to hear any of your
stories. Ok." I got up, grabbed my backpack and walked away from him. I
don't think i and ever walked away from my dad like that. Ever. I didn't
even bother looking back at him. I couldn't see him in the face. He was a
dirty bastard. My mom was still in her work uniform cleaning and
cooking. If it wasn't for her nothing would ever get done.

"If you convinced him, thank you" i said to her as i gave her a hug.

"Go do your project hon. tell brandon i said hi" she said with a
smile. Guess she knew.

"Umm?you didn't tell him did you?" i asked.

"Of course not. Now go don't make him wait so much and please don't be late
to school"

"I won't mom" i said as i hugged her again and ran outside. I was so happy
to be able to go. I ran to the park and when i got in the car Brandon was
surprised.

"I honestly thought you weren't going to make it back" he told me.

"It almost didn't happen Brandon. My dad started to bitch. But i talked
back to him for the first time." i told him.

"Well as long as you are somewhat respectful its ok"

"It was in a way. I didn't swear at him. But i kind of called him not a
good man" i told him. I explained to him what happened and he just shook
his head.

"Lets just have some fun, you need it." he told me.

We drove to his house and when we got there i just sighed with relief. His
mom was in the family room relaxing when we walked in.

"hey you! what brings you here? you rarely visit anymore" she told me.

"Hi second mom" i said to her.

"just call me mom" she said.

"ok hi mom" i smiled.

"aww my two babies. What are you doing? hungry?" she asked.

"No. we had dave and busters mom. But hey we're going to swim, we may get
hungry after that" Brandon told her.

"Okay i'll make snacks. you two go get changed" she said.

We shook our heads yes and ran to his room. Since we did hang out randomly
here and there i already knew where things were. So while Brandon got ready
i got ready to in the closet. His mom had bought me clothes to keep here
and i hadn't grown too much so it was good because things still fit
me. When I was ready to go i walked out of the closet and he was still
putting on his muscle shirt. I just stared for a little.

"Ok little man ready?" he asked.

"yes master." i replied.

"Hey, did everything still fit?" he asked.

"yeah, i got a little bigger but i fit" i said.

"Ok good. is it tight?"

"A little. but not bad"

"You're fine. come on lets go" he said as he handed me a towel.

We headed out to the pool and as soon as we jumped in the fun started.  We
loved playing basketball and wrestling and sometimes he would just throw me
around for fun.

About an half an hour into our game another kid showed up. I was
surprised. I kind of knew him. He went to my school. He was a year younger
than me. He was skinny, had that stupid pretty boy look, and was already
shirtless.

He walked over to the pool.

"Hey brandon!" he said happily.

"Hey Matt" answered Brandon.

"My mom and your mom are doing their weekly online shopping thing and your
mom called my mom to tell her to bring swimming shorts so i did" said Matt.

The kid didn't even bother looking at me. Well kind of but he gave me a
weird look.

He jumped in the pool and swam over to Brandon and gave him a hug. It made
me mad.

"So whats up? can i play. I'll be on your team brandon"

"Oh?um?.lets just play a game of 21. Everyone on their own. The first to 21
points wins" said Brandon.

"Ok i'm in" i said.

"I suppose" said the stupid snob.

I took the game very serious. I didn't want to lose to this stupid kid. I
didn't know much of him but just looking at him pissed me off. And then the
fact that he came and just hugged Brandon, that pissed me off. Every time
he had the ball I guarded him like a monster and i must have rejected his
shots about 12 times. Brandon was fair and only took far shots because he
was a little taller than us. Eventually I won and Matt got a little mad and
got out of the pool.

"i'm going to go get a snack. You coming?" asked Matt as he looked at
Brandon.

"Uhh?no i'll stay here with Carlos, you hurry" he said as he looked at me
and smiled.

"fine" answered matt as he walked away.

"He's a dick" i said as soon as the damn kid was inside.

"He's just special in his own way" replied Brandon.

"I guess. Do you see him a lot?"

"Once a week, or sometimes every other week because our moms do some online
shop thing"

"Oh, thats cool i guess. Well as your minion i say you better not cheat"

"haha i'd never cheat on my minion" he said as he smiled and splashed water
at me.

We continued to play without the d bag. We played for a while until matt
came back. He was wrapped in a towel.

"Hey brandon i have to go now" he said.

"Okay i'll se you around Matt" answered Brandon.

"You're not going to come give me a hug?" he asked.

Brandon looked at me and gave me a confused look.

"Uh i guess i can" answered brandon as he got out of the pool and walked
over to him. They hugged and then Matt turned and walked away.

Brandon jumped back in the pool.

"You see what i mean. He's a complete tool" i said.

I was not fond of the kid at all.

Then it hit me. I was jealous. I was jealous of a guy, a kid. I was jealous
of a boy hugging Brandon. What the heck.

Brandon gave me that puzzled look he gives me when he's lost. I smiled at
him and then tackled him. He picked me up and tried to throw me, but i
wrapped my legs around his waist and he couldn't.

"You're not throwing me. I'm an octopus" i said.

"OH yeah?" he asked.

"yeah you can't get me off you" i told him.

I realized that basically i was on his dick. I could feel it on my ass. And
i was getting excited. I didn't know what to do. I started to get hard, and
i don't know if he did too. He eventually got me off and i swam away.

"See you weren't strong enough" he laughed.

"i wasn't trying hard enough" i told him.

"Okay mr octopus lets get dried up so we can study for your last test" he
told me as he came to me. I made him turn around with my hands and jumped
on his back. He walked me over to the ledge and then i got off and then he
got out of the pool. We grabbed our towels and began to dry off. I was
already used to taking off my shirt around him so i did. We left them on
the chairs to dry and then headed inside with our heavy towels to keeps us
warm once we hit the AC in his house. Once inside we ran up to the room. He
closed the door. He walked over to his drawers, grabbed his boxers and then
walked out of the room. That was the cue that he was going to shower in the
guest bathroom and that i had to shower in his room.

I made my shower fast, but as usual i checked out what was going on down
there. I had finally started to get light pubes. Very light and thin but
they were there. At the base of my dick. I wanted to count them but i
figured there was a lot to keep track off. I got dressed and hurried out to
the room. I wanted to see him walk in with those tight boxers. In minutes
he walked through the door with the towel tied around his waist.

"hey there sexy" i said without thinking. As soon as i finished the
sentenced i blushed. What the fuck was i thinking.

"ha hey minion" he said as he dropped his towel. his boxers were tight. i
liked it.

"Hey." i giggled.

"I'd give you a show but i'm too tired" he joked.

"You wouldn't" i said.

I decided to just joke around o well. Its just a joke right?

"Why would you want a show you creep" he smiled at me.

"I don't know haha."

"Carlos you're a goof. I love it"

"Thanks. Lets study" i said.

I grabbed my backpack and we headed over to his couch. He looked at me for
a bit. Then his phone rang. I looked at it. It said 'My Ex'. He made an
annoyed face and then answered. Apparently his ex wanted to talk about
something at the bar and he kept saying he couldn't but the person was
persistent and wouldn't stop asking i guess. Then it reminded me of the
message i heard on my dads phone and then about my ex and i just got mad. I
don't know what was taking over me but i grabbed the phone.

"Listen whoever you, my brother said no he can't. he's helping me study so
please help yourself out and get a life" i said and clicked.

I looked at him and then shame took over.

"Wow balsy" he told me.

"I'm sorry i don't know what took over me. I just?have so much rage in me
today" i told him.

"it's fine. I'm sure she deserved that" he laughed.

"you think so?"

"Yeah i know so. Ok minion lets study" he said as he opened my book.

We studied until the sun went down. He was making sure that i knew
everything i needed to know for that damn test. The best part was that he
made it fun, we laughed told jokes and it all helped me remember
everything. When we took that review test i only got 5 wrong and he was
determined to help me get none wrong. Eventually his mom came in with a
plate of snacks.

"Hey guys how's the studying doing?" she asked.

"Its going great mom" i said.

She smiled.

"Good i'm glad you're helping Brandon stay home more instead of going to
those nasty bars with nasty people" she said.

"Mom they aren't bad people and i don't go that often" said brandon.

"Mom i go maybe 2 times a week and thats maybe"

"I went none when i was your age" she told him.

"Don't worry mom i'll make sure he stops being bad" i said.

"Thanks Carlitos. Ok here are some snacks. I tried to make them as healthy
as possible but still yummy"

"Thanks mom" i said.

"Okay well don't stay up too late ok. Good night you two" she said. She
walked over to Brandon and kissed his forehead good night and then did the
same to me. Then she walked away and closed the door.

"Okay lets do this one last review, what time is it?" he asked me.

I pulled out my phone which had absolutely no missed texts or calls.

"it's 9:15pm" i said.

"Okay we have time for one more then its bedtime." he told me.

"But its so early. The night is young."

"Its a school night minion."

"Sorry master you're right."

When we finished the review i still got 1 wrong. He was happy for me. I had
never had anyone be that excited for me to do something right. I mean my
parents were happy when i got good grades, but they wouldn't make me feel
great about myself. Then i looked around. I liked being at Brandon's, i
liked being around him, i liked his stuff, i liked how he smelled, i like
who warm i felt when i was near him. Then i felt him tapping my arm.

"Hello? you there?" he asked.

"Oh sorry yes i am."

"I think its time for bed" he told me.

"Ok you're the boss" i told him.

"I'm going to go wash my face and brush my teeth. I have a new toothbrush
here for you to brush your teeth." he told me.

I got up and followed him. His bathroom had one of those double sinks so
while he washed his face i brushed my teeth. Then i decided to wash my face
too just to be cool like him. When that was all set and done we headed to
the bed.

I got in the bed and then he went to turn of the light. When he got in bed
i randomly got a boner. Fuck i better hide that. I put one leg kind of up
so he couldn't see the little bitty mountain my boner would have made.

"So you feeling better now bro?" he asked me.

"I am. Still sucks to think about shit but i'm good thanks to you master"

"Im glad i could help you out"

"Thanks for being so cool"

"No problem."

Thats when he put his arm behind my head and he lifted it. Then i rested my
head on his arm. I felt so warm and comfy.

"You can always count on me" he told me.

"i know"

We talked about movies and video games and anything that came to our mind,
mostly mine. I told him i was going to try to spend the night on friday
even if i had to lie. He told me a few tips on how to lie but he also told
me only to do it for good things. Eventually i got really sleepy and
drifted off into la la land.

I woke up in the middle of the night and i was hugging him. I had my arm
around him and he had his arm around my back kind of like holding me
against him. I took a deep breath. I had never felt this safe or
comfortable in my life before. I made myself comfy on his side and then
went back to sleep.

When my alarm went off i opened my eyes, this time i had my leg wrapped
around him and my boner was pushed up against him. I jumped up and moved
it. I just moved my leg but still stayed holding onto him. He opened his
eyes. Looked down at me and smiled.

"how did you sleep?" he asked.

"Good and you?" i asked.

"Great. Ok lets get ready" he told me. I liked how he didn't even mention
the fact that we were all up on each other.

We got up and went back to the bathroom to brush our teeth again and wash
our faces. Then he guided me to the closet. I had clothes here so i found
something to wear. Then he let me borrow one of his sneakers. They were a
tad big on me but i still liked them. He had to get all dressed up for his
office job. I liked when he looked important. Plus he always put on good
smelling stuff.

We had breakfast that his mom left for us, an egg and turkey sandwich that
was super good, and then we headed out.

"I hope i do good on this test" i told him.

"You hope you do well" he corrected me.

"Geez well i know i failed that question on my english final" i joked.

"You'll be fine. I'll give you a prize for getting good grades"

"Like what?" i asked excited.

"Its a surprise"

"Bummer" i said.

It didn't take too long to get to my damn school but when we got there i
was sad. I kind of just wanted to spend the day with him. But i needed to
get this over with. I shrugged my shoulders and then looked over at him
when he parked next to the school entrance.

"ok master thank you for a great night wish me luck"

"good luck minion" he said.

"I'll see you soon ok. Text you in a little" i told him.

"Okay i'll be waiting. Now go have fun. Oh wait" he said. He handed me
money. It was like 20 bucks. "in case you need snacks for your test" he
told me. I didn't want to take it, but i knew he would make me anyway so i
took it.

"Thanks master. You're the best" i said.

"No. You are. Now go you'll be late" he said. I opened the door and before
i closed it i turned around and looked at him. Thats when i finally gave up
on fighting my damn feelings. I knew what was going on now there was no
lying.

"I luh you" i said to him.

He giggled a little.

"I luh you too minion" he said to me. I smiled stupidly. Then i walked into
the school. I was in a great mood now.

The day passed by so FAST. I took the test and i felt good about it. At
lunch i ate like a king and texting him was great. Every time i had to go
to class i would say i luh you to him and he'd say it back and would tell
me good luck. I felt unstoppable for some reason. When it was time to go
home i got nervous. I had to see my dad again. I knew he was going to mess
with him I knew he was going to be a dick to me.

When i got home i made myself a snack and went up to my room. I didn't have
any more homework since i only had a few days left of school. My day was
boring compared to the day i had with Brandon. Eddie and i hung out for a
while and played catch and talked about shit but it was still nothing
great.

"So i saw Brandon dropping you off today" he told me.

"Yeah i know. I spent the night at his house" i told him.

"Cool. Is your dad pissed?"

"I haven't seen him yet."

"So you feel ok with everything that happened?"

"With my ex?"

"yeah, i mean theres always bitches dude. I got a hand job the other day"

"thats cool dude." i told him.

"I'm sure you could get one. If you tried"

"Nah i'm good."

"You used to be a perv Carlos. what happened?"

"I don't know really. I realized thats just trashy i guess"

"So now that you hang with Brandon you're classy huh?" he asked me.

"Ha i guess."

"Listen bro. You've been my best friend for years. You should stick to
Brandon. He can help you be a good person. Don't follow my steps"

"What steps. You're not that bad."

"Dude i've been a pot head since 7th grade"

"Does Brandon know?"

"Not yet, but when he finds out i'm sure he's gonna flip out on me. I mean
like hanging with him and he's a great dude, but he's too good. He's never
done anything really bad. Just drinking"

"Thats because he is responsible and smart"

"Exactly, so you stick to that ok."

"What else would i do?" i asked.

"Nothing, but hey i got to go" he told me.

"Alright i'll see tomorrow" i told him. I headed back home. When i walked
inside i said hi to my mom. she was cleaning. Still no sign of my dad so i
went up to my room. I sat down and watched tv on my bed.

I was still texting Brandon and we were still having a fun time cracking
jokes and then talking about whatever. I watched tv and texted Brandon
until about 9pm. Then he told me he had to go work out and he'd text me
back but he would just be a little slower at replying. It was all good and
fun until my door opened. Here came the monster.

"Where were you?" he asked.

"Outside with Eddie" i answered.

"Ok i didn't see you"

"Because you weren't home" i responded.

"Are you mad at me?" he asked.

"I'm going to sleep" i said.

"Do you have any money left?" he asked me.

"For what? i thought you got paid?"

"Yes but i paid the bills. Because i need to buy something i'll give you
money back soon"

"And where would i even have money from its not like you give me any"

"Because i know you get money from your mom"

"SO ask her for money then" i said.

"You're grounded. You can't go anywhere tomorrow" he told me as he slammed
the door.

He was a fucking dick. He always ruined shit for me. I was so mad. I just
turned the tv off and i went under my covers. Eventually Brandon texted me
back and we did keep talking. I told him what had happened and he just told
me to relax and that he would find a way to cheer me up. The only way i
would cheer up is if i could live with Brandon or a while.

When i got sleepy we said good night to each other and i knocked out.

The last days of school were kind of fun. I talked to my friends and we
were all excited for high school. It was going to be a new experience. I
had been grounded for talking back to my dad that one night so i couldn't
go out to the movies with everyone that night but i was ok with it because
i didn't want to have to ask my stupid dad for money or a ride to the
movies. When the final bell rang i kind of felt empty for a little. This
school was the only thing i knew for 3 years. Now i had to move on, go
through teenage shit and hopefully figure out what to do with my life.

After hanging out with my buddies for a bit i headed to my bus. I wasn't
looking forward to anything since my dad hates me and wouldn't let me go
out.

When i got home i didn't feel like talking to anyone so i went straight to
my room. I looked in the mirror.

'Well Carlos, you're officially going to a high schooler. Great' i told
myself.

I started playing some video games. A few hours passed by. Around 7 pm my
mom came in the room.

"Honey can you go shower for me please?" she asked.

"what why?"

"Theres people coming"

"Ugh again" i said.

"yeah but hey, Brandon's coming." she said. I tried not to show my emotions
to her so i just shrugged.

"I guess i can. But why are people coming and who else?"

"Oh i'm throwing a little get together because i wanted to see my friends
and because i want to sell some cakes"

She only did that when we really needed money. Which pissed me off because
that meant that my dad was either not working or spending money somewhere
else. I gave my mom a hug.

"mom i'll make money soon i'll be a pimp daddy" i told her.

"Oh carlos. Just be good"

"Never" he smiled.

"go shower stinky ass"

"fine hoe" we always joked around like that and it was odd. My mom was cool
with me, she was. Not as cool as Brandon's mom where she like bought me
stuff random but still cool. I just hated when she let my dad yell at her
so much. Or when she got selfish and made me do shit just cuz she needs
attention.

I took a shower and then texted Brandon to make sure he was coming. He said
yes. I hurried up and jumped in the shower. In a jiffy i was presentable. I
went back to my room to watch tv and kept texting him. Eventually my
cousins and other people showed up and i got annoyed. My house was so small
that it all sucked. They took over my room so eventually i just walked
downstairs and headed outside. i started playing catch with one of my
cousins when i saw Brandon and his family pull up in their fancy SUV.

When the walked up to me both Brandon and his mom gave me a hug and then i
followed him inside.

He said hi to everyone and then we sat on my living room. Theres was so
much going on around us.

"Dude i was just chill in in my room when i found out theres a party" i
told him.

"yeah basically same happened to me. i was texting you normal you know and
i was going to go work out and then bam i'm here now haha" he told me.

"Well glad you're here cuz everyone else is annoying me." i told him.

"No problem little dude." he said.

We kept small talk going since there was so much going on around us. Then
we had to eat and i sat next to him and our families talked. Of course my
dad was being cool around everyone and it pissed me off. Talking like he
was the best dad and then sometimes he'd say something stupid. At one point
he said he never cooked because only women should cook. Shit Brandon cooks
and he's a boss at it. One of my moms friend had a daughter who sat next to
us too, she kept looking at us. It was uncomfortable. She was like 17 or 18
i don't know. After we finished we decided to go outside to the yard. Some
of my cousins were out there and i started playing with them. Brandon was
shy and he did play catch for a bit but then he would sit back and just
watch. Mainly cuz some of my cousins were dicks and wouldn't really talk to
him. They thought he was too old to be my friend. Only one of them was cool
like me and he was sitting there talking to Brandon.

I got a little carried away because we began to play football. Brandon
again played for a little then he sat down. I think he felt like he would
probably hurt one of us or something. He was just watching. I didn't think
much of it. Around other people i was the kind of person who was very
motivated to show others what i can do. I wasn't great at it, but i tried.

It had been a while since i went to check on him and then i turned around
and that girl was sitting next to him. She was really close. It made me
mad. I kept playing but i would look back at them. He was talking, but not
really looking at her, and she was just glued onto him. Eventually i
accidentally didn't catch the ball and it landed by them. I ran over to get
it.

"Come on bro lets play" i said.

"Shut up Carlos. We're talking" said the stupid hoe.

"What? Don't tell me to shut up its my house" i said.

"Chill man. I'm just talking to him for a bit he can play later he's a
grown man" she said.

"Uh i don't want to get sweaty. I sweat easily" said Brandon.

"Come one bro. Don't be a sissy" i told him.

"I think we should just talk here Brandon" said the hoe.

"Really wow. He's totally out of your league" i told her.

"Come one Carlos play" yelled my cousins. I looked over and threw the
ball. I realized i was being kind of weird so i just shrugged my shoulders
and went back to playing. Eventually my mom busted out the boom box outside
and people began dancing. I was furious now though. Every time i checked on
Brandon that girl was either with him or following him. I started to get
mad at him for letting her talk to him. I ignored him for a good hour or
so. I even went inside and walked passed him. he called my name but i kept
walking. My cousins came with me and we went out to the front of the house
to just talk. I was too mad to care right now.

I tried to ignore it and i was going to just get over it until i heard
clapping and cheering. My sister came over to get me and told me everyone
was dancing. I slowly got up and walked back to the back yard to see what
was going on. I saw my dad trying to make brandon dance with that
girl. Eventually Brandon gave in and danced and the girl was just smiling
the whole time and hugging him.

I had to stop this. I had to. When he turned around and saw me i stared at
him. I was so mad. I didn't know what to do. I picked up the ball and threw
it at my cousin. i asked him to throw it back at me but i made sure i was
close enough to where brandon was at so that when he threw it, id miss the
catch and the ball would land near them.

The plan basically worked too perfectly because the ball ended up hitting
my dad. He stood up. Saw me and he got mad.

"Carlos get your stupid ball and be more careful" he said.

"I was careful dad" i said.

"You're going to get it if you don't behave" he said.

"Fuck this" i said loudly and walked away. I knew Brandon heard me.

I walked away. I headed to the park. Once i was there i sat on the
swings. I put on my shitty headphones and just sat there.

I was so confused. I know Brandon didn't like me. He couldn't. Hell i
couldn't like him. I'm not gay?am i? Why was i so mad? and why did he
choose her over me.

I sat there for a while. Until i felt something tap my said. I figured it
was my dad to yell at me more. I turned around ready to snap. i saw Brandon
standing there.

"Whats up with you?" he asked.

"nothing. Whats up with you" i answered.

"You just walked away. You've been ignoring me for like 3 hours" he told
me.

"You're with the hoe"

"Only because you left me to play with those dudes who seem to hate me"

"Brandon you're talking to a slut"

"I'm just being nice dude" he answered.

"And you left me"

"Carlos, you started ignoring me. i called your name when you walked by me
earlier you didn't even look at me"

"Because you're with her"

"Carlos stop. Whats going on"

"I don't know ok. Damn i don't fucking know just leave me alone"

"No. I won't."

"You don't get me" i told him.

"I don't. But i would like to. I care about you bro"

"Well just go dance with her. Fuck her if you want"

"Carlos, stop" he said. He pulled me up from the swing. He held me. I was
pulling back. Until eventually i let him hug me.

"You're my bro. Nothing will ever change that"

"Ok." was all i said.

"Look at me" he said as he put his hand on my chin. I looked up at him.

"You're more important than any hoe ok"

No one had ever talked to me in such a soft, but serious tone of voice.

"Come on, sit with me" he said as he grabbed my arm and we went to a bench.

"I'm sorry" i told him.

"its ok. it happens to the best of us"

"Brandon we've been best friends for a year. You're like the coolest person
i know. I just sometimes have a hard time cuz you know i lose track when i
play"

"Its okay Carlos." He got close to me to hug me. I loved his hugs. But i
knew i had to do something. When he was close to me, i took over. I pulled
his head towards mine and i kissed him quickly on the lips. It was soft,
quick, but really cool. He didn't do anything after that. He just sat there
and stared at me.

"Why did you just do that?" he asked me.

"I don't know." i told him. I got embarrassed and just turned the other
way.

"Carlos. Is that why you got so mad when she talked to me?"

"I don't know ok."

"Carlos, look at me."

"What" i said angrily as i turned around.

"I like you too, i just don't know how to handle it. I've never liked a
dude, let alone a boy" he told me.

"You like me back?" i asked.

"Yes Carlos. You're amazing." he told me.

"But?i thought you were straight"

"I thought so too?and i thought you were straight"

"I thought so too" i laughed.

"Listen, you're the boss here. You call the shots." he told me.

"I do?"

"Yes Carlos. You're the boss"

"Well?what happens now?" i asked.

"I don't know?you tell me?" he asked as he got close to me. Our lips were
so close he looked at me deep in my eyes.

"Do you want this?" he whispered.

"yes" i said quietly. We kissed again. But this time, it was a real
kiss. The only reason i knew it was real was because i felt the
butterflies, i felt his lips, i felt his tongue, i just felt shock waves of
electricity running through my body. Plus, i got a boner.

If thats what a first kiss should feel like, then i definitely just felt
it. When the kiss stopped he reached for my hand. He held my hand.

"I don't know how we're going to do this, or hide it, or make it work, but
I'm down for it." I told him.

"really? you want to date?" he asked.

"Yes brandon you're my boyfriend. You don't get a choice" i said to him.

"Wow. Well then i guess i am" he said with a smile. He kissed me again. I
loved it.

"should we go back now?" i asked.

"Probably, they're going to start to wonder where we went."

"Hey brandon, i'm going to act normal around other people ok."

"I wouldn't expect anything else"

We walked back to the house. I felt different now. I was happy, scared,
nervous, excited, and weirded out all at the same time. I had a
boyfriend. Not a girlfriend, a boyfriend. He is a sexy, smart, and amazing
guy who makes me happy. I was 13 and he was 20 now.  Damn. Like for example
hoes want him, and he's mine. Now thats whats up.

When we got back to the party no one even noticed we were gone. We sat on
two empty chairs and soon my cousins tried dragging me to play. This time i
said no because i did not want to leave Brandon's side for a while. It was
great.
