This is the first story I've ever written, I wrote it over the summer of last year and my writing skills have grown immensely. Although this is my first story I've wrote, I have published other stories on here and am current;ly working on one. Under the high school section, I have the One or the Other, which is a current project; Hayden's Story; and GAvin's Got Game. Under the college section, I have The After Party. The latter three stories all contain sexual content.

It's been two weeks now and Jay still won't talk to me. DJ is mad at me too because I didn't listen. She said it was an important part of him. Amy is the only one that is still talking to me. It's mostly because I'm her prom date and tonight is prom. I hope DJ and Jay will stop ignoring me for at least tonight.
"Hey Alex." Amy said coming down stairs. Her dress was...wow. If the whole thing with Chad never happened I would be all over her.
"Wow, Amy, you like great." She smiled.
"Thanks Alex." There was an awkward silence for a minute. Her dad finally came in and we had the `talk' but since he knew about Amy and me being gay, his speech was mostly on keeping her safe from DJ. It was kind of funny because Amy's dad is so accepting and nice. But he looks like he could snap someone in half. He's like 6'7" I guess. When we finally left Amy turned to me.
"Do you want to know what Jay was trying to tell you?"
"Duh!"
"I couldn't tell you when DJ was around because she would have killed me."
We got into my car and started to drive. The place prom is held at is a good 30 minutes away so we definitely had time to talk. "It's okay. I understand."
"When Jay was little, he was molested by his uncle. They lived in Cali when this happened. His uncle told Jay that since he was a `girly boy', he deserved it. This went on for at least his whole 5th and 6th grade years. He finally told his mom and dad in the 9th grade. His mom and dad gave him up because their son was a disgrace to them. His older brother, who was at college, dropped out and took him in.
They arrested Jay's uncle and the harassment at school cause Jay to try to commit suicide. His brother saved him and time and he moved himself and Jay across the country. He's scared that people will leave him like his parents did or hurt him like his uncle. That's why he's never gone out for a team and he's always to himself. And when you ignored him you reminded him of his parents."
I didn't know what to say. Jay has always seemed so together. I know he gets emotional but I just thought that it was because he was soft hearted and not because he's been hurt by so many. "That's so..."
"Yeah, I know", for the rest of the ride neither of us said a word. It was as if I just broke up with her on the way to prom.
When we finally arrived, we put our smiles on and got out of the car. I grabbed her hand and we walked into the gym looking like the next prom queen and king in my opinion. But when we got in, I noticed everyone looked like they were prom queen and king.
At first we couldn't find DJ and Jay. Amy finally called DJ after about 10 minutes, DJ said that she had to go get Jay because he said he was not going. And knowing DJ like I do, they would be here soon.
"Hey fag!" Ciara said walking over with her newest accessory, the quarterback. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"Back up, Ciara. We don't accept trash in our group." Amy said.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why would I, the most popular girl in the school, want to hang out with you, the most dorkiest kids in the school?"
"I was thinking the same thing, Ciara." Amy said. "But kinda in reverse. Why would we, the most humblest people in the school, want to hang with you, the town slut?"
She laughed. "If I'm such a slut then why are you afraid of me?"
"Who said I was afraid of you?"
"Well you won't hit me so you're afraid."
I bet Ciara wishes she could take that back now. The second she finished saying that, she was knocked down on her ass by one of Amy's punches. Amy then got on top of Ciara. "Who's afraid now, bitch?"
Everyone was looking. Ciara started crying. "Get off! Get off!"
When Amy got up off her, Ciara stormed out of the gym crying. Her date followed her out after mouthing a `thank you' to Amy.
"Why did you do that? She was talking to me."
"I stand up for my friends. And I needed a reason to knock that bitch down a level or two. I've been wanting to do that for a while now." We both laughed at that. We then laughed a little harder and started attracting attention when a teacher came up and told Amy that she would let her away with that because it was Ciara. To think I was dating that slut 3 weeks ago.
Amy and I sat and talked for about 20 more minutes until DJ and Jay finally came in. DJ looked just as hot as Amy and Jay was just out of this world. Jay obviously didn't want to see me and now I really don't blame him. DJ and Amy hugged and gave a quick smooch before they sat down. Jay slowly dragged himself into the seat between Amy and DJ. I tried talking to him but he ignored me.
When Perfect Two by Auburn came on Amy and DJ squealed. They then said this is their song. They got up and went out on to the dance floor. Jay just sat there staring into his cup. I couldn't take it any longer. I got up, went to his side of the table, and extended my hand to him.
He looked up at me. "Would you care to dance with me, Mr. Jason Freeman?"
He smiled a bit. But it soon went back to a frown. "No thank you."
"But I need to talk to you and sitting at a table is not the place to say it." I extended my hand yet again.
He put his hand into mine and I pulled him up. "One dance. That's it."
"That is longer than what I need." I smiled. He looked at me quizzically but followed me. When he noticed we were going outside of the gym, he got scared.
"Where are we going?"
I didn't say anything. I just held his hand tight and kept dragging him. "We need to be somewhere quiet."
"Okay?" When we finally got outside on the deck, I wrapped my hands around his waist and started swaying back and forth with him. He put his hands around my neck after he realized resisting me wasn't going to work.
"Amy told me." He stopped dancing and looked at me with hurt in his eyes. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm so sorry about ignoring you that day. I promise that I'm nothing like your parents." His eyes started to tear.
"Let go off me." He mumbled, trying to get away.
"I've never let you go, Jay. I've always looked at dating you through my eyes. Thinking about how hard it would be for me. I never thought about what problems you faced with dating me." He still looked hurt. I hope what I was going to say next would cheer him up. "But now I've looked at it from your perspective. I can see that it is as hard as it for me to do. And I thought that since I can't solve my problems by myself and you can't solve yours by yourself that we could solve them together...as...boyfriends."
He started crying. These were tears of joy though, not sadness. He broke into a smile. "I've been waiting for you to say that for a long ass time Alex Marshall."
We both leaned in and finally shared our first real kiss. It was magical. His lips were softer than any other lips I've ever felt. I pulled him into me and held him close. After we separated we just stood there slow dancing.
"I love you Alex Marshall."
"And I love you Jason Freeman."
At that moment I looked up and saw a shooting star. I then remember that letter that changed everything. I finally decided to write back, but in prayer.
Dear Chad,
Since you've been gone, my life has been a roller coaster. I still remember that letter you wrote me as if you gave it to me an hour ago. You were wrong about being out of my life. You'll always have a special place inside my heart. I wish you were here now to see what you've done to me. You were right about changing my life dude. I now have an incredible boyfriend, I'm out to the world, and I'm in the GSA. When I finally see you again we'll have to catch up.
Love,
Alex
