LLL – Chapter 31 – Just My Luck – Heaven Is
Jayce Mile's POV
Even after the date Nick and I went on he still doesn't want anything to do with me. He looked like he had a good time too, just... he can't get over that nut, Lucas. If he could just get his ex out of his head, we'd be good.
This seriously blows my mind, the entire situation. How in the hell Lucas thought he could become straight is beyond me. And how Nick can't get over his loser of an Ex. Lucas is a fucking idiot and Nick is love struck.
There has got to be a way to get Nick out of his love struckness. The best way I can think of is Isaac Adams, his best friend. I just got to find him first.
You'd think finding this kid would be easy, but it's like 10 minutes before the start of class and still nothing. I've checked everywhere I can think of. You know when you check all the good spots, and then you go back to one of them, and you find what you're looking for. That happened.
Isaac was standing just outside the office. "Hey, Izzy!"
He turned around immediately glaring at me. "My name is Isaac," he growled at me. He crossed his arms and tapped his foot. "What do you want Jayce?"
"I want to know how to get rid of Nick's love struck state."
Isaac huffed. "Nick isn't going to just 'get rid' of the love struck state. If you want to prove yourself to him, then deal with it and wait."
"See that's my problem, he's taking too long." Seriously how long does it take?
Isaac shut his eyes and took a deep breath. "If that's the way you think then you don't deserve him. Nick's only boyfriend was Lucas, and he knows what Lucas is going through." Love struck, seriously am I the only one who gets this? "If you can't understand that, you're the wrong guy for him." And like that he was walking away.
Thanks, Isaac, you're no help! How can someone be so useless to me? God damn it! I guess I just got to find Nick myself. That's the bell, though; I guess I'll find him after class.
One boring class later and now to find Nick. I looked in the theater first. Oh, lucky me, there he is! "Nick!"
Nick looked up at me and waved slightly. "Hey... What's up?"
"I was wondering if you want to go out again sometime?" come on Nick, you know you want to.
"I don't know right now... Right now it's a no, but another time it could be a yes."
"Why isn't it a yes today?"
Nick looked away from me. "Jayce... today is just not a good day."
"That's not an answer." Seriously, just give me a straight answer.
He sighed. "It's my answer Jayce. I'll talk to you later." Nick walked into the theater. Fuck this kid, he can have his 'straight' boyfriend.
Blake Bear's POV
The past couple of days Lucas has been acting weird. I mean, more than usual. Usually, he stays in his room until he goes and hangs out with Shyla and then returns to his room when he's home. The life of denying your sexuality.
Lucas has been staying in his room not even going out. Unless it's time for school, he was in his room. He wouldn't even help make dinner like he usually does. Mom's worried about him but has no idea what to do. I guess it's up to me to try.
When I knocked on his door, there was no answer. I knocked again and again. He was in there; he hadn't gone anywhere. I opened the door slightly to see him with headphones over his ears and him throwing a ball up into the air.
There is only one time where Lucas will do this; if he's thinking about something. He's got to be thinking pretty hard for him to be doing this. Like, Lucas has been in the room the past couple of days doing this? He's thinking HARD about something.
What do I do? Do I interrupt him and his thinking?
Lucas looked over at me and took off his headphones. "What do you want Blake?"
"I was wondering what you were up to..."
He rolled his eyes. "I'm busy." He put his headphones back on and continued to throw the ball into the air. Well, that is until I grabbed it out of midair. "Seriously?"
I waited for him to sit up and remove the headphones again."What are you thinking about Lucas?"
"Why do you care?"
"Because I'm your brother." I attempted to say sternly. I had a baby voice as I said it so... I don't know how well that went over. "You've been in your room for days now, have you been doing this?"
"Who are you, mom?" He went to grab the ball from me. I backed away. "Give my ball back Blake." Lucas is annoyed with me.
"No, answer me! What are you thinking about?" Lucas stood up from his bed. Lucas is quite a bit taller than me. So add the anger to the fact he's got to the height difference, it makes for an intimidating Lucas.
He took a step forward; I backed up another step. "Get out of my room Blake."
I shook my head, afraid. "I want to know what has my brother shut up in his room for days on end! I care for you and just want to help you. All you ever do though is tell us you're fine and go off to your room.
"Before your 'I'm straight' crusade you would hang with mom and me. You'd go out just to hang out with people. You've shut yourself down so much you're not even Lucas anymore. You're just his shell!"
Before I knew it, I felt a fist hit my face and knock me off my feet. I hadn't been paying attention to Lucas when I was speaking; tears were rolling down his face. My cheek was burning with pain, and when I placed my fingers on it, it stung.
Lucas has never punched anyone ever. Much less me. Sure he's been mad at me and has given the odd smack to the back of the head. He's never lost his temper to this degree before. He's always been really calm.
Lucas pulled his hair as he turned around. "I'm such a fucking idiot."
"That fucking hurt!" I yelled at him.
"I know, it hurt my hand." Oh thanks that makes me feel better. "Look, Blake, I'm sorry. I... I'm just frustrated with myself."
"So you punch me? What are you frustrated with yourself about?"
Lucas sat down on his bed and kicked his backpack over. "The other day Shyla and I... we had sex. The entire time I was thinking about Nick and not her. And when I looked at her all I felt was regret."
"You regretted doing that with Shyla?" He nodded. "And that's why you're frustrated. You could have talked to someone about it."
"Who would I talk to, mom? She'd do her therapy shit on me, and I hate that. Dad would... he'd just disown me again." He threw himself back onto his bed. "I'm so confused Blake..."
"Then stop trying to go backwards on a one way street." I sat up from the floor and sighed. Lucas looked at me confused. "Stop trying to be straight when you aren't."
"I've liked girls and guys before Blake."
"When was the last time you had a crush on a girl Lucas?" There was no response from him. He was attempting to remember his last female crush. "You can't think of any can you?"
"And? That isn't the point right now."
"Sure it is!" Ouch, face still hurts. "Just face it, you can't name one girl you've liked, can you?"
"No, I can't..." That realization in his voice, it almost sounded like defeat. "I'm never going to get a girl to marry me, am I?"
I laughed. "Well I'm sure you could, but you'd still be lying to yourself."
Lucas rolled his eyes. "How the hell do I break the news to Shyla? God, how much do I owe Nick?"
"Way too much. Better start on it." I smiled lightly. I finally broke into my brother's head. He might have bruised mine, but it was worth it. I have my brother back. That's making me extremely happy right now.
Tyson Jackson's POV
We had gotten back from camping a few days ago. Dad had planned a company dinner the Friday after the trip, to express his experience of the park. I guess that's typical but still, I thought it was a great idea.
Of course, he would have executives meeting later to go into more detail. But this was a nice way to spend more time with Nikolai. "Your dad is so businessy when he's making his speeches." Taylor, who was also with us, and I laughed.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "Whatever, isn't that what you'd expect from a business meeting? The guy running it to be 'businessy'."
"Don't mock me!" Nikolai pretended to look offended. "Why would you do this to me?" He threw his head back in his chair.
"Uh oh, looks like Nikolai needs medical attention. Maybe even a needle." We both covered our mouths in 'horror'. Nikolai hates needles.
Without missing a beat, Nikolai shot back up to sitting straight. "Nope, I'm good. No, thank you." His eyes were open wide at the thought. "Why are you two so cruel to little ole' me?"
Taylor rolled his eyes. "It wouldn't be fun if we weren't cruel. Plus, it's kind of boring here." True, besides the great food, there isn't much to do at these dinners. This is why I enjoy having Taylor and Nikolai here. "Is this really what you do instead of hanging with me?"
"It's not like I have a choice. If a company dinner is going on, the entire Jackson family is a must show." I shrugged and gave off a giggle.
I took a look around the room, just gathering in the atmosphere. I mean, I do this almost every time, but this time felt different. This time, I had Taylor and Nikolai to enjoy the dinner with. It feels a lot better this time.
Dad was over at his executives table. Usually, I'd be sitting there. Since Taylor was here, and he wasn't allowed to sit there, here I was. Dad had gotten us our own little table in the corner of the room for us to have fun at, and fun we had.
Nikolai got up from his seat. "I got to go to the bathroom. Be right back." And he shot off, almost running to the bathroom.
Taylor and I were giggling at him as a deep chuckle came up behind me. "Where is Nikolai going so quickly?" My dad destroyed my gel glued hair.
"Daaad! You get mad at me when my hair looks 'unprofessional', and now you're destroying my hair." I groaned as I tried to fix the mess he caused. "Thanks, dad!" Taylor laughed at me.
"Well, why don't you go and fix it then. I just came over to see how everything is over here." Oh, dad... why?
I got up from my seat and made my way to the bathroom. When I looked in the mirror, I found out how much of a mess he made. My hair was everywhere; I'm screwed.
Nikolai came through the door. "Here, I've got some gel that you can use." He handed me a tube of gel. "I keep it for emergencies."
"Thanks, Nikolai." I pushed some out and got to fixing my hair. Nikolai stayed in the bathroom and waited for me. Which got me thinking. "Hey, about the camping trip..."
His face lit up with a blush. "Ya, what about it?"
I turned around and looked at him. "Are you... actually into me?"
He didn't answer me. Nikolai just walked up and placed his lips on mine. Before I knew it, his tongue was pushing its way into my mouth. I got pushed up against the sink, but I loved every moment of it.
When we finally released each other, there was sexual tension in the room. "Does that answer your question?" I nodded furiously. "Good, cause now I have a boner, and we have to get back out there. Maybe another time you can help me out?"
It was my turn to blush. "Only if you'll help me out."
"Anytime Tyson. Seriously anytime, I'll blow you whenever you want. But not now, Taylor will wonder." Oh Nikolai, you're so silly. This was definitely the best company dinner ever!
Mattieu Rieu's POV
Why am I doing this? Well, actually that's kind of obvious. I'm so guilt ridden right now. I feel like I could have done something and Anthony wouldn't have bit the dust. That sounds bad wording it like that.
Okay... let just knock on the door and see where things go.
So I knocked and waited for a few moments. When the door opened, I tensed up. This couldn't make me any more nervous.
"Hey, Mattieu!" Blake smiled at me. "How can I help you?"
"I just need to talk."
Blake looked very confused. "Okay, sure. Lucas just went out, so I hope you weren't looking for him," he jested. "Come on in."
"Thanks." I walked into the house and took a seat on the couch. How does one tell another person you may be responsible for his cousin's... well if you find out tell me.
Blake sat down in a lazy boy chair across the room from me. "What's up Mattieu?"
I guess this is where I just come out and say it right? "I feel guilty."
"Guilty about what? What did you do?" Blake seemed oblivious to this right now.
"I feel responsible for what happened to Antony." Why Can't I say his name out loud properly? I can say it in my head but out loud no.
Blake had a very confused look on his face. "How can you be responsible for actions someone else does? I don't get it."
I sighed. "While Leo and Antony were going out... Leo and I kind of hooked up a bit. It's one of the reasons Leo chose to move away. Antony got mad at him, understandably so. I caused that pain in him." I couldn't look at him, too ashamed.
"That's not what got to Annie," Blake said quite genuinely. "Leo told me all about him, and you and Annie forgave him. Annie was in pain from more than one thing Mattieu, not just his break up with Leo."
"I still feel like I am to blame..."
"I get that. Sometimes I think 'what could I do different' or 'is there anything I could have done to stop him? But that is not how to live your life." When I looked up at Blake, he looked like he was pretty close to crying. "You have to accept what happened because you cannot change it. Don't linger on the past look forward and enjoy the present."
"You're mother said that didn't she?"
He rolled his eyes. "Ya, shut up. You want to play a game or something now?"
"Ya, I'd like that." At least it didn't go wrong I guess. This is probably the best result I could have gotten.
The entire time we played video games Blake was really close. He was almost snuggling against me. To be honest, I enjoyed it.

Thanks for reading!
P.S. MORE NAME TRIVIA!
Tyson – To be honest, this was just kind of made up. I knew a kid named Tyson; he was kind of a dick. But the name is rare in my experience. So I gave it to a main cast member.
Antoine – So after I attended the youth center growing up, I started working there.(Yes just like Colby) And there was this French(Quebec) kid who started to come. He was adorable, and, therefore, Antoine exists.
Mattieu – THIS name is very close to me. It's the French way of saying Matthew, which is held close to my heart.
Nikolai – I was thinking Game of Thrones tbh. That and I liked the name. I wasn't sure cause of how close it was to Nick but in the end I said, "fuck it."
Jayce – Another name that I just kind of thought up. I might have gone online and found it.
Blake – So my hair cutter's kid is really cute... and named Blake.
Lexen – Though a minor character he is the first character that I named after someone I know, who knows about my stories. YUP!
That's all this time. Next time some minor characters and some CLE characters!
