The meeting of my dad and Damian was really scary but nothing too violent actually. I mean, my dad was his fan. What wrong could happen?

I yawned as I walked through the main hall of the school. I leaned on my locker and sighed. I was tired. Dad wouldn't leave Damian alone whole night. He made him sign his football, shirts, favourite novels, underwears... I couldn't sleep with dad screaming to the whole neighbourhood that he met Damian Stone.

" What's up, amigo?" Jenna greeted. I looked at her and saw that she was carrying a bunch of poster in her hand.

" What's that?" I asked suppressing a yawn.

She shrugged and said, " Prom posters with themes, venues, timing and stupid fucks."

" Prom?"

" Yeah, next Saturday. A guy from the school band asked me out. Whom are you taking?" she said.

" I don't know. Don't wanna go." I said rubbing my eyes. I was too tired to handle this shit.

" Damian not going with you." she asked making all my weariness go.

" Fuck.. how did you know?" I asked gripping my locker.

" He told me, actually he threatened me. Not to kiss you or even look at you in 'that' way."

" Wha- when did that fucker even told you that?" I asked.

" Last month, when school was just starting. He was kinda serious when he said that." she said sticking the poster on the wall near the lockers.

" You never said a word about it. To me actually." I said.

" That was what he wanted... I am good with my promises." She said sticking another poster next to the notice board.

" And you are not my type. I mean, no offense, but you are too gayish.... to me" she said moving on.

" Flattering." I grumbled sarcastically.

The bell rang and I pulled my bag from the floor and waited for Jenny to finish her work. After that we went to attend our first class. Which was as boring as hell...

During the break, Damian called me telling me he was in New York and he was coming that weekend. We talked for a while and I went for my gym classes which was of course free.

I was sitting on the bleachers with Jenny while the rest of the class were talking about the prom. I sighed. I was in a relationship and I wasn't going to a prom. Which kind of sucked.

Jenny afterwards went with the guy she was going to prom. I was seriously lonely. Mathews was not bothering me since he was busy trying to be the Prom king. I literally rolled my eyes at that.

Everybody was doing something or the other. I was sulking cause my so called boyfriend was out getting worked hard and dirty.

I was in the cafeteria that the clicking of the heels was making me groan with frustration.

" Edgar... may I have a talk with you?" she snarled at me. I dropped my sandwich on the plate and looked at her nonchalantly.

" Sure, Sister..' I replied to Diana. She turned back telling me to follow her somewhere. I was wishing Damian was there with me. I was not liking his sister's company.

She took me to the bleachers near the football field. She stopped and sighed taking off her overly expensive branded shades and putting them on her hair.

" Look, I don't like you. in fact I loathe you. Damian is all over you which is kind of frustrating and making him understand that you are not the one for him is impossible. So here I am having a talk with you. leave him. Tell me your amount, I am ready to give it to you." she said.

I scoffed as I folded my arms and looked at her.

" You have got nerves, you know. Coming here, bribing me to leave Damian." I said with a cold chuckle. " Unfortunately more than money, I would really love to kick your ass right now. So little Miss listen good and listen well, cause I am gonna tell this only one last time." I moved towards her menacingly making her glare at me.

" Go fuck yourself cause leaving Damian would be the last thing I'd do." I snarled at her.

" You are gonna regret this, Fag." She snarled back and walked off towards her BMW near the ground.

I sighed trying to control my frustration.

My phone vibrated and I looked at it to see it was Damian's call. Speak of the Devil.

" Diana's text mentions 'Edgar', 'Idiot', 'Leave Him' and ' Bastard'... do you want to tell me what happened?" he asked. The fact that I wasn't angry did surprised me but I chose to ignore it.

" I don't know, you ask her. By the way have you considered a therapist for her?" I said as I went for my next class.

I heard him laugh as an answer.

" Oh Ethan, That's what I love so much about you...." he said making me stiff as a stone.

" Ummm..."

" Ethan?"

" Oh just look at the time. I have a class, I will talk later or..something.. bye!" I said and disconnected the call.

Love..

Love...

Love....

Shit!

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

" You are insane.." I muttered to Jenna as she smiled at me.

" Come on you are alone, Justin is alone.. and not that you are cheating or anything. Just a dance partner for the prom this weekend and finished!" she said as she dragged me to a shop to check out dresses.

The love shit was still eating my brain and now all this Take-Justin-as-your-date was not helping at all.

" I don't like Prom." I tried to justify. She glared at me through her blonde hair.

" Neither do I but that doesn't stop us from exploring it. And come on Ethan, it's the senior year and I don't want to give those bitches an impression that I am a Dyke or something... neither do you? oh I think you don't cause you know..."

" No shit Sherlock...." I muttered sitting on the couch as she hunted THE dress for the Prom.

" Ethan?"

" Hmmm..."

" Is there something you want to tell me.."

" No... there is nothing why?"

" Because you look like someone stole your balls and ate it in front of you.."

" That's the most disgusting metaphor I have ever heard.."

" Ethan...."

" Okay!! Damian said he loved me."

" Holy nipples of a fucking cow. Shit!! How are you taking it?" she said completely forgetting about the dress hunt.

" Jenna.. I am not pregnant. I am just freaking out or sort of I guess." I muttered.

" You don't like him."

" It's not that.. it's just..."

" You think it's too soon..."

" I don't know maybe... I am just confused how to respond to that." I said slumping on the couch.

" Yup! Definitely not ready." She muttered.

" I am uncertain, I am thinking about him all the time. I laugh, I fucking giggle in front of him and I am not a girl. This is not me.. this- I am not supposed to be like this. I am a guy for god sake.." I snapped.

" So you are actually not gay.." she said sitting beside me. I sighed..

" I don't- I like him. I seriously do but somewhere deep inside there is a denial in me. Telling me it's not right. I am not supposed to be like this." I looked at her and asked, " Is that right? Huh? Am I going in a wrong way."

Jenna took my hand rubbed it trying to soothe me.

" You are confused, Ethan. You are scared. But don't you forget, whether you are a troubled or a guy or homosexual. You have every right in this world to choose who you love. Forget about what those damned labelled clichés groups say to you. forget what people say to you. just close your eyes for a second and remember the voice in which he said he loved you..."

I did. It was sincere and with love.

I nodded.

" How is it?"

" Soothing, sincere like he really loved me." I said like in a whisper.

" Then there you go. You have your answer but now whether to give him a chance depends fully upon you, Ethan and I know for sure you are going to make a right decision, and in that decision I will be with you." she said making me hug her tightly.

" Thank you." I said making her chuckle.

" You are like a brother to me, Ethan." She said, and I smiled.

" But that doesn't mean you are not going to Prom with Justin." She said.

I groaned loudly.

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

His phone calls were not ending. From morning to evening, he was calling me like a lunatic. So I did one thing I could. I gave my phone to Bessie who took it to bury under ground. I was losing my mind now. I was freaking out, I sighed.

I was walking down the road towards Cecily's Daycare that I was tugged at the back of my jumper. I turned to see Justin half naked. He just wore a dirty jeans and had stuffed his white wife beater in one pocket. I scowled at him before I turned to walk away.

" Ethan, Ethan, Ethan. You know it hurts the way you ignore me. I mean, its been weeks since I have talked or seen you. show some kindness." He said jumping in front of me.

" What do you want?" I snarled.

He chuckled.

" You are savvy when you are angry.." he said shoving his hands in his pockets.

" I am not in mood for your petty games right now. So I guess you need to go." I said and tried to move away from him but he blocked my way.

" What?" I nearly shouted in the strangely silent neighbourhood.

" Listen Ethan, Calm your ass down. I just want to spend some time with you. no big deal. I heard about your fight with your boyfriend." He said grabbing my hand.

I snatched my hand away and scowled at him again.

" I had no fight and mind your own business."

He sighed and slumped his shoulder down making a pouty face.

" Sorry." He murmured just looking down at the ground.

I rolled my eyes and sighed.

" What do you seriously want, Justin?" I said trying not to sound agitated.

He looked at me slowly and said, " Just want to walk with you thats all."

" Thats all."

" Yeah."

" No funny business.."

" No, I promise."

" Fine then." He looked up at me gleaming.

" No funny business." I said as I pointed my finger at him.

He nodded and ended up following me like a lost puppy. He was silent all the day. Not that I hated it but it was unusual. Anyways, I reached Cecily's Day Care where I saw here swinging on the swing by herself.

She slowly looked up and smiled when she saw me.

" Ethan!" she cried as she ran towards me.

" Hey, Sis!" I said ruffling her hair. She smiled and pointed at the door which suddenly opened and a slim boy of my age came out. He had Cecily's bag with him surprisingly. He had raven black hair and was wearing an apron with sunflowers on it. He smiled at Cecily then at me.

" Hello, you must be Cecily's brother. I saw you from the window and brought her bag." He said giving the bag to her who smiled at him.

" I am Gavin. Children's caretaker. Their teacher is having a lunch break so I look after them." He said ruffling Cecily's hair.

Before I could answer, Justin jumped front and shook Gavin's hand.

" Hey there beautiful, I am Justin. Are you single?" he asked shaking the shocked Gavin's hand.

" Umm... uhhhh..... Uhhmmm...." Gavin mumbled turning red. I snatched Justin's hand away and glared at him.

" Sorry about him. I am Ethan, and this man s lunatic so please ignore him." I said glaring at Justin. Gavin just nodded finding everything weird. I took Cecily's hand and walked on.

" Bye Beauty. Meet you again. someday. Somewhere." Justin flirted and joined me leaving the shocked Gavin at the gate.

I took Cecily to a nearby burger stand and bought her a burger, of course, for Justin too. We went to a park where Cecily enjoyed her burger.

" You overdo everything don't you?" I hissed at Justin who had spaced out with his forgotten burger in his hand.

" Ethan..."

" Now what?!!"

I looked at him as he stared at me wide eyed.

" I think I am in love.."

For the Love of Freaking God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
