This chapter will start with Nick's birthday. Then I decided mid chapter it would go over to Zach... and then back to Gage... so... you'll get a little mind rant from Zach and some interesting drama from Gage!
Since we are heading into the month of November I will share who has had a birthday since the start of the story! In September Nick and Gage's Mother had her birthday, Connor Shane's foster brother had his, Annie of course had his, and Shira had her 16th birthday. In October we had Nick of course, Blake Lucas' little brother had his 11th, And Ricky Clair's boyfriend. In November we have a few. Such as Clair's 17th, Zach's 15th that will have a chapter for it, and Annie's mother's.
Why did I just tell you that!? I have no idea! For the month of May and June since that is where we are in life right now there is also a couple! In May, Matt's is on the 26th, Tanis on the 24th, Jennifer Adams and her father share the 23rd, Larrissa has the 13th, Lucas had the 11th, and Lindsey has the 29th.
In June you have there is only a couple. Isaac's mother has a birthday on the 16th, Kale is on the 28th, Mr. Knotts is on the 14th and Gabe's is on the 4th of June. So wish them a happy birthday or something maybe... if you feel like it.
Anyways on with the chapter! With Nightmare Before Christmas!!!!
Chapter 23 – This is Halloween
Nick's Pov
After a long night of trick or treating we finally retired to my basement. Lucas, Annie, Tanis and Isaac as well as myself all had enough to feed a small army of children for days. We had agreed previously that we would throw all the 'gold' we got into a pile for us to 'loot' later, or so said our pirate Annie.
Tanis ended up destroying some of his old cloths and being a homeless man. His very dirty pillow case helped him in his costume. Tanis had even rolled in dirt before heading out with us, just to add to the effect.
Lucas ended up being younger Choji from Naruto. He had enough chub to pull it off. His hair needed some work but that's okay. He made a very sexy Choji along side Isaac's Nagato costume. Isaac was perfect in his outfit, even more so than Lucas.
So as I said we were going to share our candy equally between each other. It was good cause some people liked certain candy and others didn't. Not a whole lot of it was candy none of us liked but apparently some of our family members did. At the end all the candy was separated mostly evenly.
Right now though, I'm in our basement shower trying to get all this white body paint off me. Note to the world: never cover you entire upper body with body paint, just the see able parts. This stuff is really hard to get off!
Just as I got half of it off there was a knock at the door. "I'm in the shower!"
"I really need to take a piss!" It was Lucas.
I let out a sigh, "Make it quick..." He came in almost immediately and started pissing. He even let out a sigh of relief, "You could have told me you needed to piss when I got in."
"I didn't need to pee when you got in."
"Apparently you did..." He finished and went to wash his hands. Now I know he's looking at me cause he only ever washes his hands when he's at school. That and I can see him looking at me through the mirror. "You know you could just turn around.. it's not like you haven't seen me before."
"Well you are getting hard from me just being here." So he turned around and I acted shy and turned away from him. Playfully of course. "You do realize you have body paint in the middle of your back."
Shit! I forgot about that! "Dammit! I don't have a scrub brush down here."
"I could always help."
"I'm in the shower and everyone will know!"
"Who cares, they know about us being into guys." Lucas is always a mixed cannon. If that saying works... Well what I mean is that he's okay with his sexuality sometimes and wants to be hidden at others. Like in school, I think he's asked me three times to meet him in upstairs math and language wing for a mid school fuck. I only went twice...
Then there are other times where he will be barely talking. He says afterwords he's afraid they might catch on by the way he talks. I think its bullshit and he should stop being chicken.
The thing that effects him the most though is how horny he is. If he hadn't had some action in about a week he's all about the affection. If it's a few days after, hell the day after, he's all uptight about it. It just bugs me.
None the less though he joined me in the shower and got the body paint off my back. Didn't stop us from getting boned up. We didn't do anything to dirty just some rubbing against each other. I think he fingered me for a bit though... that felt good.
After I was clean off we got out and dried off. When we rejoined everybody they had shit eating grins on their faces. I just told them to shut up and they all laughed. We ended up playing Monopoly for hours. No one ended up winning but we all made it out as friends!
It was predetermined that we would all sleep downstairs. When I entered Lucas' sleeping bag instead of mine we got another round of grins. Once again I told them to shut up. Lucas is just the perfect cuddle buddy!
I was sure mom or dad wouldn't come down during the night or in the morning. But to be sure me and Lucas were in a corner out of sight from the door. Lucas fell asleep before me, so we both had really good sleeps. In our underwear only at that.
When I woke up I could feel both of our morning woods. As horny as that made me there was a Tanis, Isaac and Annie in the room. So I attempted to not wake up Lucas, which failed, while getting out of the sleeping bag. "Watch where you crawl."
"Sorry it was a tight squeeze." Luckily for me Lucas falls asleep really easily. So I made my way to the bathroom for my morning pee and then made my way upstairs... what did I get myself into?
Zach's POV
"It's your birthday in three days what are you gonna do?" Shane has said he loves birthdays but I didn't expect it to be this bad. He's been asking me the same basic question for almost two weeks. I have yet to give him a straight answer, I don't know what I'm gonna do okay!
The past couple of years its just been me and my Aunt going for dinner. I was a loner, didn't want to get close to anyone. Stayed in my own little world away from everyone. They all knew what happened... none of them talked to me about it, the didn't talk to me period.
The worst part is that I don't feel like celebrating my birthday is a good thing. My parents had their accident a few days after my birthday... I feel like I'm rubbing it in their faces that I lived through it and they didn't.
"Zach, tell me why you don't like your birthday..." We were laying on my bed, Shane looking up at me from my chest. His puppy dog eyes are so hard to resist, so I told him. "So you think your bragging... there has to be more to this story."
"I don't want to tell it."
"Zach, you know what my dad did to me... Why can't I know what happened with your parents?"
"Cause it was my fault, okay!"
"No it's not!"
"How do you know that? I haven't told you what happened!"
Shane had probably the most serious look I've ever seen him with, "Cause I once thought it was my fault my dad did that stuff. I know it's not though, I can't control other people. He did it of his own free will." His eyes were sharp and his voice... rehearsed but I knew he was right. Even though I didn't feel that way.
"Can we get off this topic, please?"
"We can go back to what you plan to do for your birthday." Shane smiled up at me, I let out a sigh, "Is it really that much of a deal?"
"No not really. I guess I should have a birthday party this year. We could have a Lan party. What game does everyone like?" I knew most of the guys didn't like COD, some liked Halo... Most if not all liked Gears though.
"Gears of War is probably the best bet." See told you, even Shane agrees.
"So then who should come? I need help here from you."
We ended up just putting a list of people on Shane's Ipod. Gears has a 10 people in a game limit, so we had to Stay within that frame. So the list started with three names off the top of my head: Gage, Nick and Sam. That made 5 including me and Shane. From there though I needed some help deciding.
I had to consult Shane about a few people, mainly Lucas. I had gotten to know Lucas a bit during lunch and when he was hanging with Nick at Gage's place. I just needed to know if Shane was okay with him going. It turned out Shane was gonna ask me to anyways cause he thought it would be a good addition to their rekindling friendship.
So with that it made 6 people going. From their Shane started listing people: Kyle, Gabe, Chester, Kale, Shira, Quin, Isaac, Tanis and Matt all came up. Anthony did too, but I don't know the kid well. He's always so quiet when I'm around. We decided since Kale wasn't in town for much longer he'd be invited, 7. Quin and Shira came up, but we decided that it would be only guys.
That left Kyle, Gabe, Chester, Isaac, Tanis and Matt to sort through, with only 3 slots left. I remembered Kyle was going away next weekend so he wouldn't make it. Gabe we felt would dampen the mood of the party so we crossed him off. Chester isn't that much of a gamer so we also crossed him off. That left Isaac, Tanis and Matt making the grand total of ten!
When we addressed this to my aunt she loved the idea and threw in a twist. I would be allowed to have 4 friends sleepover. The rest had to be gone by 11pm. So I looked at Shane, "One."
Shane smiled and statistically replied, "I thought I might be left out." I smacked him. "So who are the other lucky three?"
"Gage of course. He showed me around the first day of school."
"Sam then, cause with out him we wouldn't have met!"
"That's not entirely true, but I agree in having him over. I think Matt or Kale also, that way its all the older kids and guys that I spend most of my time with." It's true... Isaac, Tanis, Nick, and Lucas all hang out with themselves. They hangout with us at lunch half the time, that's it.
"Matt or Kale... Hmmm."
That's when my aunt stepped in, "Shane doesn't count towards that number. I said friends not boyfriends." We both blushed about it but with that we had who would sleep over and who would just be over for the day.
Next up was to set up when it would happen. We decided Saturday at 1pm is when it would start and we would have the best party food, Pizza!! I would even have my mini-fridge by then so I could put pop and stuff in there. Then we needed to have 5 copies of Gears. That would wait till school, me and Shane have a date to go on! It's just an ice cream date but it's still a date!
Gage's POV
It was shortly after 8 when I woke up the first time. Sam laying on my chest sound asleep. I fell back to sleep and it was around 11 when I awoke from Sam getting up. He when to the bathroom in just his boxers and his shirt. When he returned it was my turn to take a piss.
Me and Sam don't have the most sexual of relationships but last night we did just a bit of stuff. Since it was Halloween we concluded that we should do something. We had done some mutual jacking in the past but last night I finally got to give him a BJ!!
Sam wasn't as excited as I was, he sucked me off for a bit but didn't finish me. As much as he is bi, he is a clean freak and doesn't like getting dirty things in him. He has said that he would bottom for me one day... I don't know when that'll happen but apparently it will.
Anyways as much as I love sex, breakfast was waiting! Me and Sam were apparently the first ones up, so I got started on breakfast. I decided that making lots of pancakes was a good idea since Nick had friends in the basement. So I made enough batter for probably well over 20 of the things.
So while I was making them I heard one of the doors upstairs open and close. It was a minute or so before I figured out it was my mom who was up. She sat down at the table before saying a word. "How was your night boys?" I could tell there was something else on her mind.
Me and Sam both answered, "Good!" at the same time.
"What time did you two get to bed?"
"Around midnight I think it was..." Sam looked over to me. I could tell he knew something was up too.
There was silence for a while before my mom spoke up again. I knew this entire time she was thinking of how she was going to word what she wanted to say, "So I wasn't going to make a big deal of it... but now I think I have too. When I bought you, Gage, lube and condoms they were meant to be used together. Yet I find some lube gone and the condom box unopened, why?"
"It wasn't me I swear." I know it was me. It was me and Nick to be more precise. I didn't think she'd look for like a month though. She got me that stuff, very awkwardly, a week ago. How do I get out of this one?
"If it wasn't you, that leaves Nick to have done something."
"He's barely 13, he wouldn't have, couldn't have."
My mom looked at me with a face that just said 'your going with that?' before she continued, "13 is not at the age where 'couldn't have' is an excuse."
Just as Mom said that the basement door closed. I hoped it wasn't Nick but then he appeared in the kitchen rubbing his eyes, "Cool pancakes for breakfast! Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie!" I did end up giving him a couple.
Nick had just stuck a bite in his mouth before Mom started to question him. "Nick has your father given you the birds and the bees talk?" Now I knew where this was going... I had told him all about it, not dad. It was also Nick who used the lube with Lucas. They already got told off by me.
Nick shook his head, "When Gage came out to me he kinda explained it. Other than that I don't know much." Flat out lie right their, I can almost penetrate his ass without any lube.
"Did Gage," She had emphasized my name a lot, I just blushed, "explain to you how lube works?" It was then he knew what was going on... I would tell he had a super blush going on but since he had his back to me I couldn't see it. He just nodded his head, "I bought Gage some lube and some condoms earlier this week and some of the lube is gone, but no condoms have been used. Do you know why?"
Nick shook his head no. When ever he lies he doesn't speak at all and mom hopefully doesn't know that, "Why would he know, I didn't even tell him." Nick then gave me a 'help' face. He's never been good at lying.
"Gage, I am not asking you I am asking your brother." She gave me a death glare, "Nick what do you know about the birds and the bees?"
"Boys and girls have sex by uhh.... Do I really have to say it?" Nick gave an audible gulp. Mom just nodded in response, "By putting the boys... ya... into the girls... ya..."
"Ya?"
"Do you know how awkward it is talking to your mom about this stuff? I have friends downstairs and Gage in the room, It's suuuuper awkward!" Nick wasn't touching his food this entire time. He's gotta be super nervous. Then I heard his chair shaking.
We have one chair that's off balance and Nick is in it. He's making it move back and forth one the two legs. Honestly really annoying but from where I stood I was okay with it. You know since he's being questioned and all.
"Nick what's wrong?" It was genuine and sincere. I went to sit down and I could see in his face that he was holding back tears. If he's anything like me, that question is gonna make him cry.
"I'm fine." Then he looked away from everyone. I can tell you what could be going through his mind. First: Nick hates Lying and people who tell them. So lying to mom is tearing him apart. I know he wants to tell the truth, but he also would be basically telling mom that he's gay. I said it in the lunch room on a whim, he's being pressured.
"Nick, what is wrong?" Mom moves so she can see his face. Nick notices and bolts it upstairs. We were all stunned until mom spoke up again. "Gage, he knows exactly what happened doesn't he?"
"I'm gonna go check on him."
Next thing I know, as I'm heading towards the stairs, my mom sternly speaks to me, "Gage Mathias Bells, does or doesn't Nick know?"
"Yes okay!" Then I rushed up to Nick. When I got to our room I didn't see him. So I looked on the other side of my bed and found him. Covering himself with a blanket but I found him. "Nick..."
"You said I knew... How am I gonna look at mom without freaking out ever again!?"
"Nick, calm down."
"I can't! I am a disappointment to mom and dad and to the eighth grade!"
"No your not Nick. Just calm down for a second." Nick didn't respond. In fact with everything I said for the next few minutes he didn't respond. I knew he was choosing not to respond though.
After about five minutes of trying to talk to him he screams, "GET OUT!!!" He even kicks me in the stomach, that hurt. So I ended up leaving the room. I didn't go far, just outside the door, just enough space for Nick.
It was about half an hour before Clair came in through the front door. She immediately came up and looked at me. Surprisingly she didn't look like she hated me... She seamed more concerned for Nick than anything.
She entered the room slamming the door open. "Nickolas Bells get out of that blanket!" She then tares the blanket out from under him. He ended up being upside down. "Now, straighten yourself out and tell me what happened."
Nick just looked at Clair, then away from her, "Nothing happened..."
"Bullshit! Mom calls me and says you can't tell her something and as a result you burst into tears. Now tell me what happened or else!" Nick ended up telling the entire story, even where he yelled at me.
"I can't look at mom anymore. It'll be to weird."
"Nick, your not a disappointment get that through your head right now. Mom is upset right now cause he thinks you don't trust her enough. She pretty much knows now, if you tell her than there wont be any bad blood between you two."
"It's not that I don't trust her... I'm just confused about everything. Boys should like girls not boys. But Sam and Gage are dating so that means boys can like boys. There is people who don't like that though... GAAAAAH!"
"I am going to tell you the same thing that I told Gage when he told me he liked boys." Nick looked to me, I nodded and then he looked back at Clair. "Who cares what people at school thinks. You are only with them for 5 years, the people who stay with you beyond that are the important ones."
The room fell quiet for a bit. We could hear the load conversation that was going on downstairs. Nick finally spoke once I heard Lucas laugh, "We don't need to tell mom about my sex life right?"
"I'm pretty sure mom wouldn't want to know about that."
"Okay... I'll tell her once everyone goes home... but you two have to be there!"
"Deal!" We then made our way back downstairs. It was awesome to see that almost all my pancakes were gone. It was even better to know Nick was doing a little better. I get it, why he's so confused and frightened but I eventually ended up not giving a shit. I really hope he ends up on the same page as I do. People like Jake make that harder to do though.
Chapter end.
So that's the chapter! Next chapter will have a truth or dare game in it, since it's Zach's Party and all. I will be using a program I have on my phone to make the truths and dares so I will have no control over who gets asked what! Sounds fun doesn't it!
So if you haven't already noticed I usually put my email and a link to the facebook page here. But I decided not to this chapter. Just go back on and at the bottom you'll see the links.
Thanks for reading!
