Forget About It
Chapter 2: Long Past Forgotten
(Jake's view)
"Jake, I'd like to re-introduce you to my son Ben. It's all really confusing right now so I have to apologize." Charles said as his son, Ben, reached out his hand to me.
Ben looked to be around the same age as me, 17, estimated height around 5'7. He has bright blue eyes that I had no problem getting lost into.
"Oh, hi,' I say as I take his hand. He sort of chuckles giving me the feeling he has a great sense of humor.
"Well," Deborah says to my aunt Jackie, "how bout' you and Jake come over for dinner tonight at my house so we can catch up on things that have been going on in Jake's life as well as ours."
"Yea, moms making her `world class' spaghetti." Ben says, laughing to himself afterwards.
"Well Deborah, thank you so much. That'd be nice, ay Jake?"
"Umm, yea sure. Will I have to bring my own meatballs? Ha ha." Everyone laughs and we all say see you later to one another.
I walk into my aunt's house for the first time in a looong time. From what I can remember, my aunt has always been the spoiled type. New appliances as well as furniture sprawled all over the place, leaving me in awe. Dad had loads of money yet we always appeared as if we were poor when it came to interior decorations. I'm glad to be moving on to bigger and better things, kind of like the 60' flat screen TV hanging on the wall.
"Ok Jake, I know you're upset that this place isn't as great as it could be but.... what do you think?"
"Are you kidding me? This place is amazing aunt Jackie!"
"Well I'm glad you like it but I think you'll like it even better when you go look in the room you will be staying in..."
"Which room?! Which room?!"
"Downstairs! Go! Run!"
I pick up my feet and run towards the basement door. I open the door rand run smack dab into the pantry.
"Wrong door honey..."
"Right, I knew that..." I say, scratching my head.
I run to the right door this time and hustle down the stairs. Ahh!!!! Room is amazing! I have a queen size bed, 50' flat screen on the wall across from my bed, walls are blue which is my favorite color, got a bar type thing going on on one of the walls and on the other wall a built in couch. I know I'm going to love living here for.... how long? Oh right, all summer! I just recently graduated last week and boy did it feel great. Omg! There is a Playstation 3 in my room also! AHHHH!!! Lord knows I'm a video game junkie.
(Ben's view)
Who was that?? I have to know him from somewhere. Summer camp last year? No, couldn't be. Comic book convention? Ooo. Not even I wanted to be there. Ugh where do know this guy from?! I guess ill find out tonight seeing as he's coming over for dinner. Oh crap! I invited Dustin to come over for dinner. Great! Now I got to call him and tell him dinner is off. Maybe he knows this guy Jake. Oh fuck... did he give his last name? I suppose not since my parents already knew him. I dial Dustin's number. He picks up after the third ring as most people do. Ha ha. I'm weird.
"Hello?" Dustin says.
"Hey dude. Sorry, dinner is off for tonight. This guy, Jake, yea he is next door now. Looks like he's moving in or something. Idk but my parents invited him and my neighbor to come over tonight. Supposedly I already know him but I ain't got a damn clue as to who he is."
"Oh well I hope you find out. I think it's a little weird that he knows you and you don't know him."
"Oh I don't think he knows me. He kinda looked at me funny when we shook hands."
"Well even more creepier! Ha ha listen I got to go. Mom is calling me to take out the trash. Good luck tonight."
"Yea thanks."
As soon as I hang up I get ready for tonight. I have to take a shower. Teenage boys stink, me included. I hop in the shower and wash up really quick. When I get out there is a knock on my bedroom door.
"Ben! Hurry up! I need you to help set the table!"
"I'm coming! Just a minute!"
How many people are needed to set up a table? Jeeze.
After I get done with helping out , there is a knock at the door. I go and get it and let Jackie and Jake in. Ha ha the have similar names.
Dinner is now over and we are all sitting and talking.
"Jake, Ben. I guess its time to spill the beans on you two." Dad has such a way with making things so awkward sometimes. "You two grew up together. Ever since you were little babies from the hospital you guys were the best of friends."
Jake and I were friends? For how long did that last because I sure as hell don't remember.
As if he read my mind, Jake asks, " Really? When did we stop being friends? Did something happen?"
"Well... I don't like to say it but, your parents started getting into huge fights with each other and ended up getting a divorce," Mom said.
"Their divorce caused our friendship to go down the drain?" I ask.
"Well actually, Jake and his mom moved out to L.A. and that's the last I heard of Jake and his family," Dad says.
Hmm. So him and I used to be sandbox buddies ay? I wonder why Jake came back then...
(Jake's view)
I used to live with my mom. From as far back as I remember I've always lived with my dad. Huh... That means my mom gave me up then...just like my dad. Was I really that bad or were my parents just that irresponsible to not take care of their own child? My life was screwed.
"Jake, honey, would you like to take Ben over to the house so you two can play video games while us adults start talking about lifeless, pointless, meaningless..."
"I get the point. Thanks. Yea sure if he wants."
Ben answers, "Yea sure lets go."
I really hated it when she called me honey but I guess she needs something to help her cope with the fact I wasn't four anymore. Anyways...Ben, my old friend? Crazy idea considering he looks likes a major class hottie. My girlfriend would probably go nuts over him if she weren't already taken. But she is so no need to worry. No need to worry anyways since she's still in New York. Damn you Missouri!
(Ben's view)
Jake? Me? His aunt's house? Alone? I guess I better ask this kid if he's gay pretty soon or this could turn into a bad situation for me.
"Hey Jake? Question. Are you gay or bi or something?"
"Well I'm not a lesbian if that's what you're asking..." We both give out nervous laughs. "No I'm not gay or bi. I actually have a girlfriend back in New York. I miss her so much!"
"Great then we both share something in common."
"Yea. What about you? Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Yes... oh wait. No"
"What?"
"Well, the thing is. We just broke up last week, but she seems o like me still so we are flirting in a way to each other."
"Oh well that's... complicated..."
"Ha ha. Tell me about it. So is...?"
"Monica."
"Is Monica ok with you being here?"
"I'm not sure actually. She does get pissed at the smallest things and this is sort of huge."
"So maybe we both don't have girlfriends anymore." He laughs then playfully punches me.
"Way to be positive Ben!" We laugh together.
By this time we are in his amazing basement bedroom. It's way better than my rinky-dink bedroom by far. So jello right now.
"Ben watch out for my..." by then, its too late as I trip over a book and fall on top of him, tackling him to the floor.
"Shit! I am so sorry!"
"It's ok," he struggles to say. "May you please get off me now?"
"Oh right."
For a while, when I was on top of Jake it felt almost...comfortable, like he was a giant stuffed bear. Boy do I sound like the biggest creep right now.
"Not even the second date and you manage to bring me to the floor," he jokes and laughs. I join in too after five seconds on pondering whether he was serious or not.
"Jake..." I say nervously, as I realize I'm bout to get hellza stupid.
"Umm yes Ben. Ahe."
"Can I..."
"Don't tell me I turned you gay just now," he says jokingly again.
"No, ha ha," I say coming back to my senses. "Just wanted to get the ass kicking done before 12. Are we gunna play or what?"
"Ha ha of course dude!"
- Ok so what did ya think about both of them being "straight"?
Haha thought I'd add a twist into the gay section. I'm open to suggestions on this story so just email me at jakeharper50@yahoo.com and don't forget to put the title as the subject. Comments and concerns are also excepted. Have a good one! *
