Tales of a Gay Teenager
Chapter 14: "Decisions that can haunt us"
Me: Oh okay
Tom: Yeah I once hooked up with this gay guy, we were going somewhere but he just got toxic and bad that it didn't work out anymore.
Me: Well it's good that you're tryna explore your sexuality
Tom: although Iam just doing it for fun...for instance hooking up with you, would be for fun right?
Me: [akward] yeah yeah, just for fun. No strings attached
Tom: Exactly, but I get too attached.
Me: [I took another sip of my coffee, I put it on top of the table but I spilled it] oh sorry Iam sir sorry
Tom: oh no it's fine, I'll clean it up
Me: No no I'll clean it up it's okay, where are your household items?
Tom: walk down the corridor, the second door next to you
Me: Okay
I got up and went through the hallway, I was confused to which door he meant, so I went inside the door to my right. I accidentally entered his bedroom, I was nosy and curious so I scrolled through his room. I opened his closet and looked at his clothes, he had a nice fashion sense besides the suits I see him wearing. I looked down below and saw a brown box, I opened it and it contained photos of him at a young age. I heard footsteps, before I could even close the box he has already entered the room.
Tom: what are you doing?!
Me: [I dropped the images on to the floor] I..I was just browsing through your photos
Tom: That's private
Me: I know..Iam sorry
Tom: ...was I cute?
Me: [giggling] what!?
Tom: Come
We sat down ontop of the bed and looked through his photos, suddenly I felt like looking at him. I just stared into his face as he was talking, he stopped and we gazed into each other's eyes. After a moment, he leaned closer but I got up:
Me: Uhm..I have to go now, my mother must be wondering where Iam
Tom: oh okay, when will I ever see you again?
Me: How about a dinner? With the family?
Tom: Do you think it's a good idea
Me: Yes, we need to find peace within this family. There's too much commotion going around
Tom: okay Iam in
Me: Great, see you tonight then
Tom: Adios!
Me: Oh and thank you, for today..
Tom: You're welcome
Me: Don't forget to invite Angela
After I got home, I planned everything accordingly. Herald and Zara helped me set up the table and the menu.
Me: Thanks guys, you can go
Them: Glad to help.
Me: Anyways..Herald, how was it there by your hometown?
Herald: there was nothing but tragedy amongst the community people, it's a shame of what those people go through
Me: Oh, I hope everything goes well soon
Everyone came down to the dinner table:
Cas: What in the world!?
Me: It's just dinner Cassie
Diana: Looks like a whole community feeding scheme
Us: [laughing]
Me: except that we shouldn't laugh at those type of things
Gabriel: so Sam, what did we do in order to get this special dinner from you?
Me: No occasions, it's nothing special. Just a dinner between us to reconcile
Kevin: With who?
[The door bell rang, they arrived]
Me: welcome
Diana: why did you invite them here?
Me: relax Mom, Iam trying to make peace here
Keisha: well..sit down everyone let's eat
We sat down at the table, I sat next to Kevin as always, even though he was angry at me. Everyone looked tense and silent, Keisha broke the ice
Keisha: So, Angela are you..
Anna arrived
Anna: Mommy!!
Angela: Hello my child [they hugged] I missed you so much
Anna: I missed you too, Iam glad you came back Mom
Kevin: But I don't understand why, why did you come back after so many years? You literally leaved us just to get a better life... luxury!
Angela: No I didn't, your Dad pushed me away from my own children
Gabriel: lies! Stop telling lies, i didn't push anyone. You ran away with that rich boyfriend of yours
Gabriel: Is he another puppet of yours?
Tom: No Iam not, Iam an independent person[he looked at me, in a very seductive way]
I drank water and looked away
Cassie: Can you please stop arguing infront of the child, Mom. Close your ears Anna
I tried to calm Kevin down, whose fists were clunched because of anger. Everyone was at each other's throats arguing, except for Anna who ran to her room in tears. Suddenly the door bell rang..I got up and went to open the door, I saw a familiar face. He looked like a dealer but I didn't mind him
Me: Hi
Him: Where's Keisha?
Me: She's not here at the moment
Him: give her packet, say it's a new batch in town
Me: [he handed me, a packet with white pills] what is this?
Him: How do I know you'll give it to her?
Me: What is this? Who are you?
Him: Iam..
Herald came, I closed the door.
Herald: who is that?
Me: No one, just some random stalker who ran away
I went back to the table and grabbed Keisha's arm without them noticing.
Me: Keisha what the fuck is this?
Keisha: shh not so loud, where did you get this?
Me: Keisha are these drugs?
Keisha: they're just pills
Me: Keisha are you using drugs?
Diana: [My mom overheard our conversation] what!? Who's using Drugs?
Us: [silent]
Me: I..its..[I looked at Keisha]
She ran upstairs
Diana: Keisha, come here young lady!
