“But… Megan… how did you know?” Liam asked.Megan turned to Luke and waved at him a little, “Hi, Luke.”“Hey, Megan.”“Kelly told me that you were here last night.”Of course, Kelly did. Luke thought to himself as he rolled his eyes.“Did you tell Mom and Dad?” Liam asked sharply.“Megan, who's at the door?” Mary asked, appearing at the door.Her eyes widened a bit in surprise when she saw Liam.“Liam!”“Mom!”The mother and son embraced tightly.They broke the hug after a while.“What are you doing here?” She asked, “I thought you said you would be back in the evening.”“I did say that, but…”Mary's eyes shifted to Luke upon seeing him.Luke gave her a slightly nervous smile, then waved a little, “Hey, Mrs Fox.”Mary opened her mouth to say something but no words could come out.She quickly snapped her head to Liam as though looking for an answer.“Mom, can we go inside and wait for Dad?” Liam asked softly. “There's something I want to talk to you about.”“Um…”“Mom, come on, let's g
Sam heaved a deep sigh and knocked at the door, then waited.The door creaked open, revealing a woman with platinum blonde hair with a cigarette clenched in between her lips.Her eyes widened in surprise and her jaw literally dropped to the floor as she stared at Sam.“S-Sam?” She called out in a husky voice, “Is that really you? Oh my God, Sam!” She exclaimed and embraced Sam tightly.Sam didn't return the hug.He just let her hug him.She broke the hug and cupped his face, “Oh my God! It's you! I can't believe it.”“Honey, who is it?” A man's voice asked followed by footsteps.It was Sam's Dad.“Oh, God! Sam!” He came forward and embraced Sam.Again, Sam didn't return the hug.“I'm so glad you're here,” He said, breaking the hug, “Come on in.”The mom got Sam's luggage and pulled it inside the house.Sam stepped into the house, expecting to find it the same messy way it was when he left but to his surprise the place looked better… almost like a home.“Your Dad and I refurbished the
Kelly walked out through the door, “See you later, Babe.”“Do you really have to go?” Adrian asked, still holding on to her.She sighed, “I don't want to, but I have to. My brother is coming back so I should be there when he gets back. He might already be back by now.”Adrian leaned and brushed his lips softly against her, “Alright then, text you later.”“Yeah, text you later.”They kissed one last time before Kelly turned and began to walk away.Snow was falling so she hunched her shoulders a bit, trudging down the street.When she returned home, she saw the car trails on the snow and she instinctively knew that Luke had arrived home.Wide smiles materializing on the side of her lips, ran into the house.“Luke?!” She called out.“Over here!” Luke's voice came from the dining hall.Excitement surging through her veins, she ran to the hall but then came to an abrupt halt.Her parents, Terry and Layla were seated at the table, alongside Liam and Luke.It looked like they were having a d
Luke cut out a piece of sandwich and handed it over to Liam.“Thanks,” Liam said thankfully, taking the sandwich from him, then bit into it.He was sitting on the picnic mat they had brought along and Luke's head was resting on his lap as he stared up at him.“So, about what I said earlier regarding not wanting to study…”“Yes, about that,” Luke immediately sat up, “What do you mean you don't want to study.”Liam licked off the sandwich flavor on his lips, “I think I'm gonna drop out.”“What?” Luke flinched, his eyes widening in shock, “What do you mean you're gonna drop out.”“Now that I'm no longer playing basketball, the school has withdrawn sponsorship…”“That's not enough reason to drop out!” Luke persisted, “I can pay for your tuition fees. My parents can pay for you. I have a rich uncle, he can pay.”“Look, it's not about money.”“Then what?” Luke demanded, “Because you're being really ridiculous right now.”“I never even wanted to come to college,” Liam said, “You know that. T
Hand in hand, Luke and Liam walked down the school grounds, people's eyes on them.Some stared at them with approval, while some gave them a look of disapproval, others were just disinterested. They just went on about their day.“Let's go on a date,” Liam suggested, a smile plastered across his face, “I've always wanted to go on a date with you.”“I really want to.”“But?”“But, I really have to get to class,” Luke replied, “The semester is almost about to end, so I need to study to ace the exams.”“Ugh!”“And so do you.” Luke jabbed at his chest playfully, “Since you don't have basketball any longer, maybe it's time you took your studies seriously.”“I don't want to study,” Liam said softly, avoiding the various eyes being thrown at him.Luke halted and turned, “Wait, what do you mean?”“Can I tell you at our date?” Liam asked, “Let's get out of here. People's eyes on us… it's so overwhelming. I think I'm gonna need a little lot of time getting used to it all.”“Sure.”“Are you agree
“What?! He wants to come out?” Sam exclaimed, his voice laced with shock and surprise.Luke sighed in resignation and then raised his shoulders in a slight shrug.“That's what he says,” Luke replied, buttoning up his shirt.“Isn't that so sudden?” Sam asked. “Considering what he just went through.”“I was worried about that, but he says that's what he wants. Who am I to stop him?” Luke asked rhetorically, “All I can do is be by his side and make sure he's fine.”“When will he be doing it?” Sam enquired, “Coming out I mean.”Luke turned to meet his eyes, “He says today.”“Oh, God!”“He'll be fine, Sam.” Luke reassured, “I'll be there, so I'll make sure of that. Besides, I thought you hated him.”Sam exhaled, “You know I feel like it's kind of my fault that that horrible accident happened to him. If I hadn't made you go to that double date, none of all this would have happened.”“Yeah, it kind of is your fault.” Luke agreed, “And mine too.”“No, it's my…”“Sam,” Luke called out, “You kn
