Chapter 13

Jealously has arisen

I walked around aimlessly in the space of my room wondering if I should actually go to school tomorrow. It’s been another week and I don’t even know what I’ve been doing the last couple days. For once my parents are actually letting me be, I think they got the rough idea of what happened, since Sienna “accidently” blurted it out to them. They didn’t seem too surprised that I was gay though which is quite the relief, they still treat me the exact same if not better. It’s not that I’ve been around them all that much anyway, I've been in my room basically all week. Whenever I’m within metres of them they just overrun me with questions, which is just a whole lot of trouble. I’ve given them nothing yet and they aren’t going to get anything, let alone from me.

I spun around on the tips of my toes, getting dizzy as I watched the room spin before me. I fell back on my bed, with a slight headache. I rolled on my side and flipped through my phone, like usual it was filled up with messages, because I’m just oh so popular, I'm kidding of course. I hovered my finger above his name, should I call him? I did need to talk to someone.

I pressed call and awaited the connection, “Alex, I need you, can we meet up?”

“Sure thing, cc café in 10?”

“Ok, see you there” I replied and ended the call. I dragged myself out of bed and towards my closet. I picked out a shirt and jeans and quickly put them on. I grabbed a few things and left the house, with no word from Sienna or my parents. I guess it was surprising I was actually leaving the house out of my own accord in a while. I settled on the path to the café not too far from here.

When I reached the café, I didn’t see Alex outside so I went inside and chose one of the tables close to the window. I played with the napkins, folding them into chatterboxes. I heard the door open and looked up. I saw Alex arrive and I waved him over. He sat down and turned to me. “Hey, so what’s up?”

“I have to go to school tomorrow, since my parents are back, can you keep him out of my sight” I asked awkwardly, but it was for the better, if I saw him I think I will break down.

He gave me a look of surprise, “Are you sure, if you want me to do that…I can talk to him if you really want him to stay away”, I nodded and bowed my head, how embarrassing getting someone else to fight my own battles.

“Please just do this for me, I think it is the only way I’d be able to get through a whole day of school”

“Sure I’ll do it, if that’s what you want”

“Thanks Alex” I turned away from him slightly uncomfortable from the situation. I stared out the window and a really familiar couple that were holding hands crossed the road. I froze on the stop, my eyes stuck to the window. I couldn’t leave now, they would see me, I shot Alex a panicked look. He lifted his gaze from the menu and swept it across the café with no reaction at all. I subtly pointed outside, they were going to be inside the café any second now. I could feel the anxiety building up inside me, he finally saw them and gave me a look.

“Well we can’t really leave now…”

“I know that, what do I do?” I answered the panic clear in my tone.

“I guess you’re just going to have to stay put, it’s a public place after all”

“I suppose I should at least try, we do live in the same place and I was going to see him eventually” I said reasoning with myself.

“Exactly, now come on lets order I’m starving”

I breathed out a deep breath and lifted up my menu, instinctively hiding my face. I traced my fingers along the choices, one stood out among them all. Number 69, I coughed with laughter under my breath, careful not to draw the whole café’s attention. Just as I decided what I was going to eat, I heard footsteps approaching our table, the waiter. I was about to put down my menu, but a voice stopped me.

“Hey Alex, fancy seeing you here” his voice, goose bumps spread over my body, I was close to breaking into cold sweat. Xavier, why did he have to come here, I felt on the edge when he was around.

I heard Alex chuckle half heartedly, “Well this place has pretty good food, so I thought why not”

“Yeah this place has some pretty good memories for me”

I kicked Alex hard under the table, trying to catch his attention, but instead with not being to see properly I kicked Xavier instead. I dropped my mouth opened mortified, how was I going to get out of this one. I heard Xavier exclaim with a muffled mouthful of swears. I inconspicuously slid down my seat, intending to get away, with the menu still covering my face I dropped to a crawl. As I started to crawl, to escape from this problem without a word, I was caught.

My eyes closed tightly in defeat, I felt Xavier pick me up and turn me around, with the menu still separating him from seeing who it was. Fear was building up in me, from being so close to him. He was holding on tightly to the back of my shirt and he gripped onto the menu and pried it away. When our eyes met, his widened in surprise and he froze speechless. I struggled out from his grip and gave him a forced glare, “Sorry…not sorry, I’m leaving” I shot Alex a look informing him of my decision and walked straight out of the café.

I walked to the beach, it was my safe place and it made me feel comfortable. After about half an hour of walking, I had finally reached the beach. I took off my shoes and let the feeling of sand under my feet, calm me. I slid down carefully on the sand, letting its smooth grainy feeling almost overwhelm me. I watched the ocean, the waves crashing onto the shore, the little kids playing. I wish my life was as simple as that.

I traced patterns in the sand, I felt a presence behind me. I took a quick look sighed, “What do you want?”

“What did I do to deserve that sort of tone?”

“Sorry Amelia, I’m just not in the mood right now” I sighed again, facing back to the ocean.

“I feel like I haven’t see you in forever, I went over to your house and Sienna told me you went to the café”

“Yeah I left, how did you find me?”

“I saw Alex, he told me where you had gone but he didn’t tell me why, once I left I saw Xavier and Sophie…”

“He came up to talk to Alex but he didn’t know I was there, I accidently kicked him and I tried to get away but he caught me, then he saw me and I ran away…”

“Aww, poor you, I wish I could make you feel better”

“Thanks but I don’t think I can handle him in my presence for much longer, I told Alex to get him to stay away from me”

“It’s that bad huh?”

“Yeah, every time I see him its like another painful arrow through my heart, you know, even after all of this I still like him when I know I shouldn’t “

“I know Aiden I know, I get what you mean”

“I think the only way to get over him is to find someone else, but there isn’t anyone that is gay around here that I know of”

“Well, I think I know one person but I have to confirm my sources first, then I’ll come find you ok?”

“Ok thanks for the help, I’m going to go home, I need to do a few things”

“Sure ok bye” she waved goodbye and hurried along to do what is was she need to do. I stood up, brushing the sand off of me and set off back home. It was the middle of the afternoon, I walked for almost an hour before I got home. I unlocked the front door and swung it open. I heard someone groan, I pulled the door back to see a injured Xavier on the ground, holding his hand to his head. I stepped back against the door closing it behind me.

I didn’t know what to do, I crouched down next to him and put my hand on top of his. I felt tingles flow through my body at the slightest touch and I quickly pulled my hand back. I leaned down, to try and get a look at what happened to his head. I moved closer and lifted my hand again to try and get his hand away so I could take a good look. His eyes were still closed and he looked slightly dazed. He suddenly sat up and his lips landed on mine.

My eyes closed automatically then I realised what was happening and backed away so fast that I think I hurt myself. I stared back at him, my eyes filled with shock and surprise. I quickly stood up and turned away from him, “Stay away from me, I hate you” I spat out in a tone I never thought I would ever use. I heard him get up then leave within seconds.

I fell onto my knees and held my head in my hands. What was happening to me, this wasn’t like me at all. I can’t believe I said that to him, but after everything I think he deserves it. At least this way he will stay away from me, but that kiss. Was nothing, it was an accident.

There’s still the supposedly gay guy that Amelia knew, I wonder who it was. I pulled my phone out of my pocket, I scrolled down to Amelia’s name and pressed call. I heard a ringing outside my room, I opened the door and she flew back in surprise. “Why are you hiding behind my door?”

“I was about to come in but my phone rang” she told me.

I saw someone standing behind her, “Zac?!”

He stepped out and gave me an awkward somewhat embarrassed smile. “Umm…Hi”

“Does that mean you’re gay?” I asked.

“Yeah I’ve known for a while now” he said sheepishly.

I turned to Amelia, “What is he doing here, surely you cannot be saying that…”

“Let’s just go into your room first then we’ll talk”

I moved out of the doorway and walked in with them following close behind. “So, tell me Amelia what is your grand plan?”

“Well…I was thinking that you guys could go out and make Xavier jealous”

“What! No, I can’t do that”

“Sure you can, don’t you want to be with him”

“No, not anymore I just want to move on” I admitted.

“So you don’t want to go through with a jealous plan?”

“No, I already told you, I don’t want to be with him, I-I hate him” I said turning away from their eyes.

“Are you serious? You can’t, you love him”

“It’s the truth, I even told him earlier today, it’s over” I told her, tears pricking at my eyes. This is why I didn’t like telling people my deepest feelings, it made me feel so vulnerable and weak.

“Aww Aiden, that must be terrible”

“Yeah I know, so what do you get out of this anyway Zac?”

“Well um I like this guy and I wanted to make him jealous”

“Really? Who is it?”

“I keep my secrets secret, unlike some people”

“Seriously? Come on!” Amelia shouted.

“Nope, I can’t” he said with a kind of sad look.

“I guess we can pretend date, just for you though”

“Thanks Aiden, you didn’t have to”

“No problem, that’s what pretend boyfriends are for” I answered with a smile playing at my lips.

Not long after, they left and Zac kissed me on the cheek. He was almost like a fairy tale prince, he had all the qualities as well as the looks. He was basically perfect, I get someone to hold and he has me to make some guy jealous.

I guess they will find out tomorrow at school, Alex will probably find out from Amelia and Sienna from Zac. So I guess I can just relax until then, it’s no surprise I will be attacked with questions tomorrow. I might as well, enjoy the peace I have now. I closed my eyes, the sky was darkening, it wasn’t very late yet, but after the day I had, I fell straight asleep.

~

Its Monday again, I got ready quickly and went downstairs. To my surprise Zac was at the door and Sienna was there talking to him. Zac sent me a small wave and I smiled back at him and got some breakfast. Once I had eaten I went towards them.

“What are you doing Aiden, are you sure this is a good idea?” Sienna asked.

“Sure I am, I need a rebound guy and he needs to make some guy jealous, so it all works out”

“Well if you’re sure” she said to me, “and you, who is this mystery guy?” she said turning back towards Zac.

“I’m not saying anything” he replied zipping his lips with a grin, although I swear I could see a slight look of unhappiness in his eyes.

“Come on, let’s go” I told them and dragged them behind me towards my sister’s car.

Before long we had reached school, I walked in and I had a feeling that people were watching me, even though I wasn’t even doing anything out of the ordinary.

I hooked arms with Zac and he gave me a playful cheeky smile, “Alex!” I called out to him as I saw him come in with Amelia. I felt Zac tense next to me, which was weird. As Alex got closer I saw him shift his gaze towards our linked arms then back to our eyes. What was with that?

“Hi, what’s up man” I told him, unlinking my arms and patting him on the back. I felt him flinch under my touch, I backed up kind of confused.

“Nothing much, just another day with my girlfriend” he said emphasising the last word and looking at Zac. Ok then…now it was getting awkward.

“Do you know yet, the thing between Zac and I?” I whispered in his ear, moving closer to him.

“Yeah, Amelia told me and I think you should go for it” he said in a monotone voice with a slight irritation evident.

“Ok…thanks for the support I guess, by the way do you know who Zac likes?”

“I think that is enough, let’s go Aiden” Zac said dragging me off before I could hear Alex’s reply. I looked back over my shoulder at Alex, he looked lost in a sea of confusion. I wonder what’s going on with him.

We walked through the hallways, just happy to be in each other’s presence. Then as I got closer to my lockers, someone stopped Zac which halted me in turn. I turned around to face Xavier, my face paled slightly. “Uhh hey man, whats going on” he asked Zac, totally ignoring me, this is what I wanted after all.

“Nothing, I just got myself a boyfriend” he answered grinning at Xavier. Oh no, he wasn’t meant to know about this, this wasn’t the plan at all. I nudged Zac hard in the side, whispering furiously, “What are you doing?” he ignored me and smiled cheekily at Xavier. I moved back a little, away from them.

“You’re gay…iwho is your boyfriend?”

 “Yeah got a problem with that?”

“No, of course not you’re my best friend and it’s fine as long as you don’t have a crush on me” he replied shooting a look at me. My gaze dropped to the floor, did he have to rub it in. So annoying, what was his problem anyway?

In response to his glare, I wrapped my arms around Zac’s waist, “I’m his new boyfriend” I said shooting him a glare. The look of surprise on his face was priceless. I grinned on the inside, this is what he gets.

“What, you have got to be kidding me!” he cried and backed away from us, shock still evident across his face. I watched him go to Sophie and pull her into a passionate kiss, pathetically shooting glances at us.

The plan was under way and for once a grand scheme like this is actually going right.

 Sometimes I really wonder is love really worth it, when you just get hurt in the end.
