Must Find Jose by Alana Montgomery
PART II
After the liason with Howard, Jose drove to a Motel 6 a few miles down the highway to rest for the night. He stripped down to his black boxer briefs and laid on the double bed. He picked up the remote control that was sitting on the nightstand next to him and turned on the TV. He flipped through all the channels and found nothing but the traditional late night fair of infomercials and mind numbing re-runs of "Wings".
When he finally got to the infomercial with a has been soap opera actress, he decided to turn off the television and call it quits. Suddenly, Jose felt extremely thirsty. All he had in his room was a warm Coca-Cola and stack of dixie cups, so he decided to put on the complimentary terry cloth robe and walk down to the ice machine. When Jose got back to his room after getting the ice, he found that his room card didn't work. "What now", he said out loud.
He turned and noticed a flamboiantly colored building across the street with a neon sign that read "Oscar Wilde's Bungalow" and below it the marquee said "PAJAMA NIGHT TONIGHT". Since Jose was technically dressed in his sleeping apparel he decided to cross the street and go inside. Once he stepped inside, he noticed a plethora of pajama clad men dancing together to to Christina Aguilera's "Dirty".
He walked up to the bar and ordered a Tom Collins, but the bartender replied, "Sorry son, this is a dry county". So Jose changed his order to a virgin pina colada. As he sipped his drink, two men dressed in matching plaid pajamas walked up to him and asked, "Hey sweet thing, wanna go for a ride?". Having nothing better to do, Jose agreed. He walked out with the two strange men and got into their old green pick up truck with them. One of the guys pulled out a bottle of Southern Comfort and handed it to Jose.
Jose ended up drinking almost the whole bottle. When he was plenty drunk, the truck pulled over and the men yanked him out and stripped him ofthe few articles of clothing he was wearing and drove off. Jose was left there lying naked on the cold hard clay of the dessert. Jose lied there exposed to the elements for most of the next day. At around 6:00 PM, a small sedan pulls over. Out steps a young man about Jose's age. He was light complected and had black hair (resembled Tom Welling from Smallville and Cheaper by the Dozen). He walked over and picked up Jose and put him in his back seat.
He slapped Jose's cheeks while calling out his name. Jose opened his eyes and recognized the guy standing above him, it was his friend George from school. "George, what are you doing here", he asked. You werent at school all this time and your mother is worried sick, so I decided to come looking for you. What happened," George responded.
"I met these two guys at this club across the street from my motel room and they drove me in their truck, and that's all I remember", Jose replied.
"Which motel are you staying at", George asked.
"The Motel 6," he replied.
"Ok I know where that is", George said. He went to his trunk and got Jose a blanket to cover up with. He closed the back door and drove Jose back to his motel room.
George pulls into the Motel 6 parking lot and pulls into the space closest to the room. Jose wraps the blanket around his waist and they walk up to the room. He pulls the room card from his crack and it actually worked. They both step inside. George sits on a bed next to Jose. "Why did you run off like that", George asked.
Jose said while sobbing, "My dad kicked me out and it got out around school that I...I..."
"You are what," George asked.
"Am gay," he said. George wraps his arm around Jose and leans his head on his chest.
"Go clean yourself up and we'll talk about this some more. Okay?" Goeroge said in a reassuring tone. Jose got up and went to the bathroom. A few seconds later, the shower turned on. Half an hour later, Jose came out with nothing but a towel on and sat in George's lap crying. Jose appeared that he was nearing a serious breakdown. Suddenly he just kissed George on the lips.
"Sorry I didn't meant to", Jose pleaded.
"Its alright. In fact I have been wanting you to do that since freshman year", George reassured him.
"So you're gay too", Jose asked.
"Bi", George responded.
He laid down with Jose and held him in his arms and soon they both fell asleep early due to the exhaustion of the day.
