Anyways before I get to ranty and tell you everything just look at the chapter title. You'll get a good idea of the chapter.
Chapter 6 – The "First" Date – Take Me Home Tonight
When Mitch left Colby was sure it was for a good reason. In the past year, since meeting Gage and Nick, Colby's confidence had increased tremendously. Colby just thought to himself, Mitch has to be stressing over the situation right now. He could be lying... Mitch doesn't lie though, never has.
This is probably just my insecurities rising up again. A year ago I would think I would never see him again. Thinking that I just lost a good friend. That was then though.
Now it's different, ever since I met Gage. He is so comfortable with himself. He is 11 and doesn't care if people make fun of him. I've seen kids make fun of him, he has 10x better comebacks then they have insults. The kid is just great.
If it wasn't for me saving Nick that day I might have ended up dead by now. I don't like thinking about it but it's probably true. I mean I was always doubting myself back then. I would always walk with my head down and dragging my feet. Every once in a while I would actually think about ending it... but I never did.
So much stress have left my shoulders in the past few days... My parents know I'm gay, Mitch seams okay with it... Vicky and Trevor are fine with it. I mean who care about the rest of the world. Right?
Colby found himself in a deep sleep in the midst of his thoughts. That night he dreamed of Mitch rejecting him. His restless sleep exhausted him during the day and he slept for most of his parents and sister's visit. Once school ended Gage, Sam and Nick all found a way down to the hospital.
Gage of course was charging in at full force, "Colby!" He shouted waking the teenager from his sleep, "When are you gonna get out!?"
Colby rolled his eyes, "I've only been in here for a few days. It's not like I'm gonna get out after a few days. The doctors need to know I'll be okay."
Gage pouted, "That's dumb. You look fine to me..."
"His ribs probably hurt allot though." Sam shyly spoke from behind the brothers.
"Sam's right Gage." Colby smiled at the boys.
Gage crossed his arms and huffed, "Sam's always right." Everyone laughed at Gage's expense.
The boys stayed for about an hour before Mrs. Bells came and picked them up. Sadly one of the things she brought Colby was the work he had been missing along with notes from each of hi classes. As grateful as Colby was he wished the homework was excused.
He had just gotten started on his English when his dinner was brought in by the nurses. He managed to get a comfy position from him to work on both his dinner and homework. He quickly got his hospital food into his stomach and finished his English work by 6pm.
With two hours of visiting hours left Colby didn't expect to see anyone else that night. He didn't want to get his hopes up of Mitch coming for a visit. Just as he was about to go onto his Chem homework, Mitch walked in, "Sorry I'm late, I brought ice cream."
Colby smiled at the two DQ blizzards Mitch had in his hands. "What kind ya get me?"
"I asked Trevor what kind you liked and he said cookie dough."
"Trevor would be correct with that." Mitch Blushed.
"And that's what I got you." Colby clapped as quick as he could.
Grabbing his side, "I would be clapping still but... it hurts." Mitch giggled. "Why are you laughing!?"
"You, you're so silly."
Colby huffed, rolling his eyes, "Just give me my ice cream before it melts." Mitch happily gave the injured boy his ice cream. Over the next half an hour eating ice cream and school were the topic of discussion. Everything from the latest gossip to up and coming concerts.
Then came the topic both boys have been wanting to get to all night. Colby made the first move, "Enough small talk, what exactly happened last night?"
"Oh... That..." Mitch blushed furiously. "I did actually have to go help my mom but it was more of a 'I'm getting out of here' than anything."
"So..." Mitch was sitting in the chair beside Colby's bed. Avoiding eye contact Mitch got up, "Are you leaving again?"
"No, I swear I'll be right back. Okay?"
"If your not, I'll make sure Trevor kicks your ass!" Mitch left rather quickly. Colby laid there knowing that he would return. Trevor constantly does little things to Mitch and has been getting rougher lately.
In Colby's head everything was going to turn out fine, Mitch's was haywire though. Okay... It's gonna be fine, Mitch thought to himself. He likes roses, Trevor said so. Trevor and Colby are best friends, so he has to be right.
The 16 year old boy made his way to the nurse's station. Once there the nurse sitting doing paper work looked up, "Wanting your flowers?"
"Yes Ma'am." Mitch blushed. "Thank you."
He went to return to Colby's room before being interrupted by the nurse. "Good luck!" Mitch smiled and rushed back to the waiting Colby.
When he returned he stood in the doorway with the flowers hidden behind him. "Where did you go?" Colby casually asked.
"I had to go grab something..." Colby waited patiently for Mitch to continue. He swiftly closed his eyes and shoved the dozen roses in front of him, "Trevor said you liked them and I wanted to say sorry!"
Colby smiled and laughed a bit, "Okay... lets stop before I hurt myself." Colby calmed down and continued, "Roses are nice, but a bit to cliché don't you think?"
"Shut up you and accept them!" Colby laughed again.
Shaking his head, "Fine I accept them on one condition. Answer one question: Why are you doing this?"
Once again Mitch closed his eyes, "Cause I like you too!" Both boys smiled. "So these roses are not just a sorry but..."
Mitch hands the roses to Colby. A card stuck out from the bouquet, which Colby grabbed. It read: Get well soon, and will you be my boyfriend?
Colby looked at the boy standing by the door. "Can I call this our first date?"
"We didn't really have a date..."
"Ahh but we had ice cream! The best part of a date!" Both boys laughed. "So is that a yes?" Mitch nods and walks over and sits back down in the chair beside the bed.
Over the next week many people came to see Colby. His favorite visits were always Mitch's, with Gage's in a close second. When Saturday came around Colby was released from the hospital but was told to not do any major physical activities until his doctor's okay.
Finally able to move around freely, Colby still didn't move much. Most of this meals were delivered to him. Colby sat in his father's chair for the first time in a long time. Everything was finally getting back to normal.
Then Colby's cell phone rang. "Hello?"
"Colby," It was Mrs. Bells, "I'm sorry to ask you this the day you came out of the hospital, but I need a babysitter tonight. You don't have to say yes in your condition. Gage merely insisted it was you since you were out."
In the background Colby could hear Gage shout, "PLEASE!?"
"One moment, Mrs. Bells." Colby turned to his mother, "Mom, Gage and Nick need a babysitter tonight."
His concerned mother replied, "You just got out of the hospital."
"They wont push me and you know it."
Relying on her last card she spoke, "Your father is at work, you don't have a ride and you're not walking."
From the phone Gage could be heard screaming, "WE'LL PICK HIM UP!!"
Colby giggled a bit, "Gage, that was nearly my ear you blew off."
"You heard didn't you?" Gage cheekily replied. "Mom will pick you up and drop you off at home afterwords, pleasepleaseplease."
The teen shook his head, "You'll have to talk to my mom." He handed his phone to his worried mother.
Gage spoke as soon as she said hello, "Please Mrs. Brown!? Colby is the best babysitter. I promise I'll be good and will make doubly sure Colby doesn't push himself! So please can he babysit us?"
Colby saw defeat in his mother's eyes. "Gage, you are very sweet and very hard to say no too."
"So he can!?" Gage was jumping up and down around and around.
"On one condition: One of his friends accompany him. Let me speak to your mother please." Gage swiftly handed the phone over to his mother, "Mrs. Bells?"
"Yes, You must be Mrs. Brown."
"You can call me Scarlet. I gave your son the condition of one of his friends accompanying Colby. Are you okay with this, first of all?"
"If you feels it's necessary, I see no problem. Phone back when you know for sure, okay?"
"We will, Thank you for being understanding." With some short good-byes the mothers ended the call.
Colby was immediately on the hunt for a friend. He started with Mitch. Calling his cell phone. In minutes it was decided that Mitch would aid Colby in babysitting Nick and Gage.
None of the four boys that were going to be in the Bell's home that night would think what was going to happen, happened. Nick unaware to the entire situation would be told at a later date that his brother had some extra fun with the older boys before he went to bed.
Chapter end!
