章節 22: Apologies
"I'm home!"
He called out as he closed the door. Fluffy came yipping at his feet making him smile.
"Hey sweetie, a very cute boy came looking for you" his mother says.
Ian smiled.
"He did? Let me go give him a phone call then"
He went upstairs being followed by the small maltese pup.
He laid on his hed and called Vince.
-the number you have dailed is not available at the moment, please try again later-
He frowned.
"His phone is never off....I'll call him later"
His mind takes him to Jackson, what could've happened to make his brother want to commit suicide?
His phone then vibrated, he smiled when he saw it was a message from Vince.
Vinny- so you remembered that you have a boyfriend
He frowned, what was that supposed to mean? Was Vince.....Jealous? He chuckled.
Ian- the same boyfriend i spent the night with? Yes
Then the screen flashed as Vince called him, he immediately picked up.
"Hey Vinny"
"Don't hey me, where did you run off to last night? And why were you not at home!"
He rolled his eyes.
"I had to meet Jackson, it was an emergency"
"Wow how noble of you Ian, one call from your ex and you run a thousand miles for him!"
"What the hell? Vince it was an emergency! His brother almost died"
Then it went silent.
"I see....I'll come over your place tonight"
"WHAT?!"
click!
He looked at the screen in disbelief, what on earth was Vince thinking?

"I can't believe that we had to leave early from our getaway just because of Ian and Vince" Alice says as the car drove towards her home.
She didn't want to leave early, she wanted to spend more time with Jeremy.
"I know babe, but look on the bright side, you and I will have our alone time whenever we want" he says wiggling his eyebrows making her laugh.
Jeremy stopped his car in front of the large white gate, he turned to Alice.
"Will you be alright here? I have a spare toothbrush back at my place"
Alice smiled at the offer, if only she could take it. She sighed.
"Maybe next time, i haven't seen my parents in months so it will be nice to have dinner as a family again"
Jeremy nodded and leaned in for a kiss, the large gates slid open revealing a very angry man, the deep scowl on his face making the two teens flinch.
"Alex get your ass in the house!" He roared.
Alice sighed.
"I'll text you okay?"
Jeremy nodded and quickly pecked her lips.
Alice got out and went towards her father, the disgust on his face making a lump form on her throat. The gates closed and Alice was snatched by the arm.
"Ow you're hurting me!"
"Save it! I cannot believe you're parading around like this, what will people say when they see you!" He said as they made their way inside the house.
Her brother, Axel gasped when Alice was thrown into the couch.
"Dad what's going on?" He asked.
"Don't even think of pretending you don't know, Axel you let your brother walk around like this? Are you just like him huh? Are you a fairy?!"
Tears brimmed her eyes as she heard this, so after all this time her family still doesn't want to accept her? Just because they're worried about what people would say?
"I think you're just overreacting" a female voice spoke up.
Alice watched as her mother sat next to her husband, the smile on her face making Alice feel like she wasn't alone inside this cold house.
"How can I forget, you've always wanted a daughter and now you are letting our son turn into some tranny!"
"Dad!" Axel exclaimed.
Alice got to her feet.
" i may be a tranny but at least i own my truth"
Her father stood up.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
They engaged in a stare off, the tension in the room thick to cut with a butcher knife.
Alice had had enough of this, she just wants to be herself, why can't they let her be.
"What i mean is, if you want me out of your house just because i want to be myself then so be it, my boyfriend is just a phone call away"

Wesley made his way through the busy hallway, the smell of antiseptic and pills makimg him a little dizzy, he stopped in front of Charlie's room.
Will Charlie's brother blame him for what happened to Charlie? He hopes not.
He opened the door and saw Jackson sleeping against Charlie's bed, he glanced at Charlie, his unconscious face making his heart ache.
"Ch-Charlie?" He whispered.
Jackson stirred as he heard a voice in his sleep, he opened his eyes and saw Wesley standing at the door.
"Wesley, hey" he says getting to his feet.
"You must be Jackson....if only this was a different time, it would be a nice meeting" he says yet his eyes were still glued on Charlie.
Jackson could see how much Wesley cared for his brother. He smiled.
"I agree, would you like a seat?"
"sure thanks"
They say down and endured the awkward silence.
"What.....What happened to him?" Wesley asks as he held Charlie's hand, it was cold.
"He tried to kill himself....i don't know why but I'm guessing it has something to do with our dad"
Wesley nodded, he knows about the whole brothel thing as he was once a customer there.
"And i think i added more on his plate....we were on a break"
Jackson sighed. Wesley must've been Charlie's source of happiness and losing that as well must've made him lose hope.
"Don't blame yourself.....all we can do now is be there for him, promise me you'll take care of him and make him happy"
Wesley nodded, his thumb brushing over Charlie's cheek.
"I promise.....you hear that Charlie? I'm never leaving again so please wake up"

There was a knock on the door and Ian practically ran down the stairs just to open the door before his mother could.
He smiled when he saw Vince.
"Hey"
"Mn, let's head to your room"
They went upstairs where they laid on Ian's bed.
"Vince? You seem...agitated"
Vince scoffed.
"You think? Tell me how should I feel when i went to sleep with my boyfriend only to wake up next to a note telling me that he went back to his ex!"
Ian frowned, so Vince was upset rather than Jealous? He held his hands.
"I'm so sorry, i thought it would be fine since it was just an emergency"
Vince sighed.
"It's okay it's just.....i thought you didn't want me anymore"
Ian hugged him tightly.
"Don't ever think that, i only have my eyes on you Vinny, that's all that matters"
Vince hugged him back.
"Same here bunny, same here"
