Luke has already gotten dressed for the date but his only problem was finding someone seven years older than him to play the role of his loving boyfriend.Sam was lying on his bed while giggling at him, “Ooh, you look good, bro. Maybe I'm wrong though, why don't I call your boyfriend and tell him to come check you out?”Luke ignored him.Getting mad at Sam would be meaningless.He was certainly enjoying this.“Oh, yeah, right. I don't have that asshole's number,” He announced and sat up, “ Why don't you call that guy you told me about?”And again, Luke ignored him as he sprayed his cologne.“You know the guy I'm talking about?” Sam asked, “That driver guy that saved you and your boyfriend from my girlfriend's father. What was his name again? Ken? Kevin? It starts with a K.”“You mean Kyle?” Luke asked, turning to face Sam.“Yes. Him.” Sam confirmed, kicking his legs up in the air, “He might help you out.”“Kyle is a driver, Sam.” Luke gritted, “And he's always busy. Get that into that

The doctor glanced down at his clipboard, then to Luke who had a despondent and frightened look on his face, and then to Liam whose injured face looked as though he was going to cry any second.The atmosphere in the room was that of a sad one, filled with unspoken tension.Liam was lying in the hospital bed, with a bandage wrapped tightly around his right leg and on his face were cuts and bruises.Thankfully, he hadn't lost his life.But at the back of his mind, he knew he had lost something else important in his life.In the corner of the room was Kyle, who was backing up against the wall.“You said he's an athlete right?” The doctor asked.“Yes!” Luke answered sharply, his heart, pounding in his chest, “Why?”Liam gripped the bedsheet so tight his knuckles turned white.The doctor hesitated, he looked reluctant. “Well, I'm afraid Liam Fox won’t be able to play basketball professionally again.”The tears trickled down from Liam's eyes.“What?” Luke exclaimed, “What the hell is that s

“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

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

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
