Chapter: Chapter 16Jacob Can this day get any worse? Shit! I always liked surprises as a child… even now, but this? This I didn’t like. It wasn’t how I’d planned to start my day. Thought I still had one more day to prepare.But…Uncle Jack was here. He said the weekend, but it’s only Thursday and he was here. Damn it. I grabbed my shirt, pulled it over my head, and ran downstairs. Why did he come earlier than he’d planned? Did Kenny say something to him? About me. About Daniel. About us. Shit! How do I face him if he already knows everything? All the dirty little secrets I’ve been trying so hard to hide. Uncle jack left early the next morning. The visit was just a normal one. No drama or scolding, which meant kept his mouth shut.The basketball court was too bright. I was supposed to be practicing, but all I could hear was Kenny’s voice in my head. “We’ll find out soon enough.”The fact that he decided to to not tell uncle jack, didn’t mean he’d let it go. Tried to squeeze the hard ball to keep

Chapter: Chapter 15Chapter 15JacobWe ran towards the direction the clattering sound came from but there was no one there. “Must have been a rat… or something,” Daniel said, trying to hide the tinge of concern in his voice. “I think so too” I replied, holding his hands. Because the truth was, even if he was Daniel Cobbs, he was still just a kid in high school and he gets scared some times. He kissed me again, this time, more intense than before. His hands were on my waist, dragging me closer to his chest. I pulled away, not because I wasn’t enjoying it, but because we were still in school and anyone could walk into the room at any second. He stared at me like I’d committed an unforgivable offense. “Not here,” I muttered.He nodded, swallowing hard. “Yeah.”I’ll wait here a few minutes. You go ahead first. He smiled, it was the first time he’d ever smiled at me. A real genuine smile and then he was gone. Was still smiling stupidly to myself, kicking the floor like a child with candy when my ph

Chapter: Chapter 14DanielChecked my phone for the tenth time in five minutes, hoping to see a notification on my phone. A text from… Jacob.There was nothing. No call. No text.Jacob had said he’d text me when he went to his room, after class. That was hours ago. Reggie was in my room and could sense how restless I was from the way he was staring at me. “You okay, Danny?”“Yeah. I’m good,” I lied, throwing my phone on the bed. Reggie went on to talk about some party, but I wasn’t listening. My mind was stuck on this morning.Jacob on my bed. The way he was just lying there, looking at me when I opened my eyes. The way his voice had been soft, asking if I slept okay. I’d never seen him like that before.The way he leaned in and kissed me, like I was the most precious thing ever, before he left. The texts we’d exchange in the classroom.And now? Dead silence. Maybe something happened on his way back to the dorm… or maybe he just didn’t want to talk to me. Maybe he was regretting everything that ha

Chapter: Chapter 13Jacob“What did you tell Uncle Jack?” I asked, my voice softer now. Wouldn’t want to piss Kenny off and have him tell on me. And I had no idea if he said something as bad as I thought. “What do you think, Couz?”“What the fuck, Ke…?”He didn’t let me finish before cutting in. “Calm down, Jake. I didn’t tell Dad anything… not yet anyway. But that doesn’t mean I won’t.”Went into the bathroom and Kenny followed, uninvited.“The fuck you think you’re doing, following me in here?”“Just checking on my favorite cousin. You were gone all night and I was worried about you.”“Right. Thank you Kenny, but unless you wanna shower together, I suggest you go wait in the room… or leave. Go be with your friends… please.”He walked back to the bed, flopping on it like he owned it. “People might start talking, you know, spreading rumors if you keep disappearing like this.”“They won’t have anything to talk about,” I murmured, grabbing my tie. “Really?” He raised an eyebrow. Could’ve sworn I saw yo

Chapter: Chapter 12JacobThat night I didn’t sleep a wink. I’d turned off my phone the moment the text from Uncle Jack came in. Tossed and turned, my mind racing with a million questions. I needed to turn my phone back on and talk to Uncle Jack or he’d be here at the school first thing tomorrow morning. And that would be a total disaster. A parent or guardian, visiting just of the blue.It would rattle the school staff, and raise questions.Questions no one would be able to answer. Not me… and definitely not Daniel.There was a text from Daniel the moment my phone was on. I opened it. “Can’t sleep,” the text read. I scroll down and opened Uncle Jacks. “I’ll be coming to see you boys this weekend.”A rush of relief washed over me, I’d been worried over nothing. Kenny, that rascal, he hadn’t ratted me out. He might not be as bad as I’d thought. “Me neither,” I replied to Daniel’s text. He didn’t reply for minutes and then. “Come to my room?” My heart stuttered and I hesitated before replying. “Be

Chapter: Chapter 11JacobThe moment Kenny’s voice cut through the silence in the dining hall, my stomach twisted.“Where were you last night, Couz?”I froze, and my hand tightened on the fork. He knew about me and Daniel. I was right. He was in the woods last night. The way he was looking at me… grinning from ear to ear like he’d figured out my biggest secret.It made my skin itch. “What are you talking about, K? I was in my room.” I tried to keep my voice steady, but the words came out sharper than I’d expected, but I maintained my composure.This wasn’t the time to start shaking, or else he would see right through me, through the fake confidence I’d put up. Kenny smiles, stabbing the peas on his plate with his fork. He stared at me like he was waiting for some answer. “You weren’t in your room last night. I came back but you weren’t there.”My heart pounded so loudly, that I feared everyone in the hall would hear. “Fuck! No no no!” Why did he have to come back? Why?Pretended I didn’t hear and j
