"Welcome, family, friends, pack members, and loved ones. We gather here today to celebrate the wedding of Archie and Henry. You have come here to share in this formal commitment they make to one another, to offer your love and support to this union, and to allow Archie and Henry to start their married life together surrounded by the people dearest and most important to them." I tighten my grip on Archie's hand as tears form in my eyes, making his eyes soften when he sees that I'm about to start crying. A single tear falls and he reaches up, using the pad of his thumb to wipe it away, making some of the pack members in the back awe."Marriage is perhaps the greatest and most challenging adventure of human relationships. No ceremony can create your marriage; only you can do that through love and patience; dedication and perseverance; talking and listening, helping and supporting and believing in each other; tenderness and laughter;through learning to forgive, learning to appreciate you
I was woken up by my husband , but l turned onto my stomach, not wanting to deal with his hard dick since that was usually what he woke me up for in the middle of the night. I was shaken again, still ignoring it since he usually gave up eventually. "Henry, I know you don't want to get up, but Jelilah just called and she's in labor so we gotta go to the hospital."I immediately shoot up in bed as he tells me the news and I'm instantly way too excited now that I knew that my baby boy is coming today in possibly just a few hours. Archie chuckles, throwing a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt at me as he changed into real people clothes for the first time in a few days since we've just been relaxing before we were elbows deep in diapers and formula. "Is she already at the hospital?"He nods his head. "Yeah, it took awhile for me to answer my phone because I was dead asleep. She's been there for about an hour already." I nod my head, way too excited to even be mad that she's already been t
I sighed and looked over at my sister, who looked extremely anxious for her first day at the school as well. She's starting high school in a completely new town, with absolutely no friends, and no idea where she's going or what to expect. I reach over and grab her hand as I put the car into park."Everything will be okay, just figure out where to go and go from there. Don't stress too much, alright?"She nods her head, swallowing the lump in her throat before looking over at me. "Alright."While look up at a building that looks very similar to a prison but not one with a pasty colour with blotches of darker concrete from the sun and a collection of dirt over time.I observed the block letters displayed at the top of the new school that I was being coaxed to attend for my senior year because my dad got a job offer about two hours away from his previous one, we had no choice but to relocate and change schools.I take a look at her for a moment as she reaches into the backseat to grab her
"Hey boy, you must be Henry, I saw your name on the roster and knew I didn't recognize it. I'm Coach Erixon,' she says, holding her hand out for me to shake it."Oh sorry, his coach, it's super nice to meet you," I tell her after being distracted."So have you danced before? l want to know to see what your skill level is at and we just go from there," she tells me, holding a clipboard in her hands as she prepares to write whatever I say on it."I've been dancing since I was very young and I also have done gymnastics for thelast three years to focus more on my flexibility to better my dancing," I tell her."Well, that's great! I guess you are a great dancer, I 100% love suggestions and opinions on the routine me and assistance come up with, so never be scared to speak up and tell me anything you know" she tells me."I won't hesitate to do so, '' I told her. Jenny comes in alone just as Erixon starts us off with team stretching before showing us the first routine that we'll be working
We talked and made our way into the gym where we sat down on the red bleachers and I noticed that Archie and Robert also had this class when they walked in and sat with a group of guys that I didn't know. Seeing Archie makes me so nervous and what happened yesterday is so fresh in my head as if everything that he was was a dream.I was sitting with some of the dance girls and we all started a conversation about the routine that was happening this afternoon."Hey, how long have you been dancing?" Some girl who I think is named Tyler asked me.Everyone looked over at me, immediately making my cheeks heat with the attention I was given. "Uh, I started when I was very young, about nine because I didn't like any sports so my parents put me in dance. I did gymnastics the last three years to focus more on my flexibility to better my dancing.""Wow, so you're the most experienced out of all of us," someone else said while everyone else looked a little admirable at my experience. I noticed th
"I want you to know that I'm trying, I'm trying to find the courage and the confidence to get through this and do what I feel is right, but it's hard. I think you know that it's hard and you're taking it easy on me, I do want you to know that I haven't forgotten what I did and l am so sorry about it." "It's okay, I understand more of why it happened. I know how hard it is to deal with your sexuality and you just need to find a time when you feel it is right to deal with it all. I think you are ready to move forward, but maybe not to officially come out and I understand that greatly" I tell him and he crosses his arms before sighing."Let's wait until Friday when I have more time to figure all of these emotions out," he says to me. I see the tenseness on his shoulders just like the first day, which tells me that I might've crossed the boundaries and said too much, so I quiet down and let him do what feels best for him."Okay," I say and he reaches over to wrap his arm around my should
I smiled in the darkness as he kept his hand on the back of my neck as I lifted my head. "Yeah, here we are.""So, tomorrow, Robert asked me if I wanted to go to the trampoline place in town with him and Jenny. I don't want to be a third wheel with them, so would you want to go with me?" He asks me as he pulls onto the road where myhouse is."Uh, sure, would you mind picking meup?"He shakes his head. "Yeah, I can do that. I'll pick you up around nine with some coffee, sounds alright?"I was surprised. "You've noticed my addiction to coffee?" He nods his head as he pulls into my driveway where the lights are still on, which means my parents are still awake and watching TV in the living room where they can see outside. "Well, when you bring it every day, I think everyone notices that you have a slight habit."I nod my head. "Yeah, maybe."He takes off his seatbelt before turning to me he bites his lip while he thinks about what to say. "Thank you for coming, it means a lot to me."I
"I tell her and we all stand up when they call our group up and walk into the room where we were instructed to take our shoes off. Archie walks over to me as I'm putting my shoes in a locker to show off my maroon and purple mismatching socks."So there's a party at Jenny's?" I ask him as I wait for him to put his shoes with mine. He looks up at me with a confused look before it clears up and he shakes his hand."Oh, yeah, I'm not going because there'll be alcohol and that's just not something I want to deal with, but if you're going, maybe I can reconsider or we could go to my dad's apartment where we would be alone and we could just watch movies all night," he says, giving me the option."I think I'll take the latter, '' I told him, making him smile. I immediately start sweating from my palms because of the nerves getting to me about what could happen tonight.Once we got onto the trampolines, we started to have fun and it made up for us having to get up early on the weekend. Jenny c
