Eli’s pov
I sat down at the table with a feeling of pure content. I had apologized to Carter, so (and this is just a possibility but) maybe we could be friends.
But maybe he didn’t want to be friends….
And it wasn’t even a good apology. UGHH now I feel like crap again. Leave it to me to over think everything.
“Eli sweetie, listen up.” My mom said not so politely to get my attention.
“What?” I asked confused.
“My co-worker is getting married this weekend and the wedding will be quite a ways a way so we will have to stay at a hotel.” My mother explained.
“And I don’t think that you should stay home alone.” My mom finished and I felt anger mixed with embarrassment creep on my cheeks.
“I’m not a little kid I can stay home alone.” I stated.
“We know, it’s jus-” my dad started but I cut him off.
“Do you not trust me?” I asked.
“We do, we just don’t think leaving a teenage boy alone over night is a good idea.” My mom said shrugging.
“Especially when you keep inviting that one girl over.” My mom said and i knew my face was beat red with embarrassment now.
“Kayla?!” I exclaimed. “You think me and Kayla are together?!” I yelled and stood up. How wrong they are.
“A boy and a girl can be best friends without having to date!” I shouted and ran upstairs, especially when the boy is gay.
I laid on my bed and buried my face into my pillow and yelled, my voice being muffled by the pillow.
I don’t know how much time passed by, an hour or a minute but someone knocked on my door and I heard them walk in.
I sat up angry and flustered to see my dad.
“Umm hi dad.” I said awkwardly.
“Hey Eli, I just wanted to say I would let you stay here if it was my choice but it’s not.” He said and I nodded. “And to be honest, I’m proud that your finally getting laid.” He finished laughing.
Seriosly?! What the hell is wrong with parenting these days.
I forced a laugh and he patted my back in a fatherly way and left.
When he closed the door I got angry all over again.
Since when was it okay to congratulate your son for hooking up with someone and horrible to accept your son for loving boys?
Chapter 10
Carters pov
I Layed on my bed holding a slip of paper in my hands. The paper was the one Kayla had gaven to me earlier.
Should I call him? Text him? It’s pretty late I don’t want to wake him…
Fuck it I’m texting him.
I grabbed my phone and quickly added him as a contact, adding an emoji by his name since I add emojis to all my contacts.
I typed the first text nervously and anxiously.
Me- hey, it’s Carter, Kayla gave me your phone number.
I sent the text and nervously waited.
A few seconds past and my nerves rises. He’s probably asleep.
Suddenly my mom walked in.
“Hey sweetie, why aren’t you asleep?” My mom said softly walking over here.
“Can’t sleep.” I said shrugging and hiding my phone.
“Ok well get some tea if you don’t fall asleep soon.” My mom said and left, leaving the door open.
I walked over to my door, shut it quietly and walked quickly back to my bed, turning on my music softly so it wouldn’t wake my parents up but so I could relax.
I had a message.
Eli🐼– hey.
I typed my next message.
Me- what’s up?
Wow my text messages are soo creative. (Sarcasm) I though and face palmed.
Eli🐼– nmu?
Me-just listening to music.
Eli🐼-cool, what kind?
Me- just some songs by All Time Low.
Eli🐼– I love all time low! My favorite songs are missing you, and therapy, but they change all the time.
I chuckled reading over his text. FaNgirl much?
Me- mine are ‘if these sheets were states’ and ‘cinder block garden.’
Eli🐼– lol, Gtg to sleep.
Me- night.
I turned off my phone and smiled.
This is definitely progress.
