Chapter 3

I need to, breath. I cannot breath well right now. I think I just heard, Gio ask me out or something. I swear, why does this kind of thing always happen at the worst possible times. I am not gay, I am not anything. I just want to find Lake, and that is it.

And then, I open my eyes to see myself looking at my parents and a doctor. Am I, inside a hospital?

"What am I doing here?"

"PAPITO! Your awake! Oh my god your awake!" My mom grabs my head and is smothering me with kisses.

The doctor is calling for more doctors and nurses. And then, they start asking me questions. "How do you feel?" "How many fingers am I holding up?" and etc. Why are they asking me these questions, and why am I here in the first place?

"So, you may be wondering why you are here right now. Well, last week you never woke up from your sleep. We have come to the conclusion that it was a comma caused by a intense amount of stress."

"So, I missed the school trip, and the school prom?"

"No papito, you just missed the school trip. Prom is this Friday. Today is Sunday, so you have sometime."

"Ok, so where is Papi?"

"He is at work. It is his first day. It was supposed to be last week, but since all of this. You know."

"So when can I go home?"

"You can go home by the end of the day. We just need to get some MRI's, and a few other bloodwork done. And also, a psychiatric test to see if we have to offer you any medication if you have that much stress to cause a comma."

Great, I have to sit here all day doing tests, and some doctor has to dive into my mind to see if I need any medication. What could go wrong there.

3 Hours Later

As I am eating my hospital jello, this doctor walks in and asks my mother to leave. I'm glad he did that because I do not want her to hear anything if I accidentally say it.

"So, how have you been lately?

"Umm, you know. Just living"

"Soo, how are things at home?"

"Everything is fine. My parents are always fighting, and my siblings won't shut up. Coming from a Mexican background, this is normal for a house."

"That does not seem normal. Let's get back to that later. How are things at school?"

"Good, I have this friend named Katelin. She is my best friend. I tell her everything. And I have good grades, never been in trouble."

"That is great, do you have a girlfriend?"

"No. I don't want romance and stuff. Last time I tried, she ended up cheating on me."

"How did you feel after that?"

"Just betrayed. What else can you feel after something like that."

"Is there anyone else that you like?"

Oh crap. I do not think I should tell him. I am not even sure if I like him. I do not like him. It is just a phase. I cannot like him.

The Next Day

Today is beautiful. The sky is cloudy, and is about to rain. Good thing I have gym today, whenever it rains we have to go inside and take notes instead of exercising. I love it when it rains.

So, I have been thinking. If none of the make out thing and prom thing actually happened, then I am fine. And Katelin does not hate me. That is great. I hate it when she is mad. Now that I think of it, she would not be giving me any dirty look and stuff. She would be telling me to come to her to explain.

"Hey Jared! Where the fuck have you been? I have been so lonely, I had to smoke weed. Experts note, do not use toilet paper as the wrapping. It burns to quickly, look at my fingers. Oh wait, these aren't fingers anymore. They are charcoal sticks now."

I think I should tell her now. If I do, will I ruin my life our something? And also, she is a complete idiot for burning her finger. You are supposed to use napkins.

"Hey, why are you quiet today? And where have you been?... (no response) Okay death man, I found you a date. She is the school Vice President, and I think she is interested in you. All you have to do is talk to her and pop the question."

And now, the only thing I am thinking about is the dream in the comma. And now, I just cannot wait until the school trip in a month.

"Sure. I will talk to her."

And as I walk into school, Katelin points to the Vice President and leaves me.

"Hey, Ava!"

"Oh hey Jared! How are you?"

"Oh I'm fine, you?"

"I am feeling awesome. So, what's up?"

"That is great. (I really hate small talk. It is so awkward) I was just wondering if you would like to go to prom with me? But before, I would like to take you for a nice dinner!"

"Really! Yes, of course I would go. I have to get to homeroom, but I will text you later!"

"Ok great! Bye!"

I already like her already. Maybe I can get my mind off of Gio with Ava. Am I using her though?

I swear, what does Katelin want. The last time she said it was a emergency, she needed help wrapping weed so it can be smoked. She tried to get me to smoke with her, but does it look like i'm a idiot. Your supposed to grind it up and put it in your drinks like a Kool-Aid mix. But also, I have never done that before, but it is way smarter then smelling like weed at school.

With putting it in your drinks, you can get high at school without getting caught. Just think about, get high in Algebra instead of inside the bathroom.

Since me and Katelin are practically family at this point, I let myself inside the house. Her parents honestly do not care. I say hi, and walk all the way upstairs inside Katelin's room. I see her, surprisingly not smoking weed but sitting under our tent with Sarah and Jada from the GSA.

"Oh hey Jared!" Says Katelin.

"Come down here. We need to talk. We all have these issues based on the prom."

Oh great, I barely know those two people and they want me to talk about this with them. Come on.

"Sorry, I thought this was emergency, so I am going to leav-"

"Don't you dare Jared. I need to ask out this girl!" Says Katelin.

"Wait, you do? Who is it?"

"It is Nezuko. From Ms. Johnson's homeroom."

"WAIT REALLY?"

"No. I'm talking about the Cheeto dust girl who works in the office."

So, how come I am just finding out about this now. I tell her everything. Granted, she doesn't know about the Gio thing. But still. I know everything about each other.

1 Hour Later

Jada and Sarah have already left. And me and Katelin are sitting on the roof outside Katelin's window.

"Why didn't you tell me before, that you liked Nezuko?"

"Why didn't you tell me you were bi?"

"What, no i'm not. What are you talking about?"

"You see Jared, I was not sure about you being bi, but your reaction right now just proved otherwise."

"Why, do you think i'm bi"

"Because I am bi dumbass, I can sense a bi vibe."

"Well, I kinda wish that I can explain myself. I do not understand this whole sexuality thing. I am not even sure if I like boys. I do not even want to think about it. I'm not even sure if I can be anything else from straight."

"Listen, I know your parents are super religious... but that does not mean you cannot be yourself. Just know that, you can tell the people that you trust, but you do not have to tell your parents."

"But, if they ever do find out the-"

"Shh, it is okay. I accept you, for whatever you possibly are."

"I guess, I never thought that someone would say this to me."

"I know, you never thought someone would say that because I am so special and rare and a crackhead. I am one of a kind."

"Wow. Just wow Katelin."

Me and Katelin spend the rest of the night looking at the Buttercup Moon. Just staring, not even talking. I guess, I found my true best friend. And, I am glad I found someone at such young of an age.

I still have to go on the date with Ava though. If Katelin thinks I am bi, then I guess I can still go out with her. I have time, it is only Tuesday, prom is on Friday.

What a beautiful day, to be gay. I mean, the sun is bright, the temperature is warm, what better of a day can you ask for. 

I see Gio in the halls, he is acting more friendly to me lately. 

"Hey Jared! You ready for the meeting today?"

Oh shit, it's today. I have to create a meeting slide for tomorrow. I do not have the time for all of these damn meetings! And the meeting today is supposed to be twice as long as normal. The only way I can finish the slide show is if I pull a all nighter. 

"Umm, I don't think I can make it. There is a SCA meeting tomorrow and I need to make this long presentation, and the only way I can finish if I go to the meeting is if I pull an all nighter."

"Ah great. You can come, and I can come over to your house and pull an all nighter with you to help."

"I do not think it is a great idea to come to my house, my mom works at a coffee shop and has the keys. Maybe we can go there?"

"Oh sure. Send me the address and we can meet up there after dinner."

"Great!"

And that is how you do it! I will be all alone with no parental supervision all night long doing the thing I love... doing school work.

During Lunchtime

"Soo, you have a study date with Gio tonight huh? Without parental supervision..." Says Katelin

"It is not a date, and we aren't studying. We are creating a presentation for the SCA meeting next week.  And nothing bad is going to happen."

"Surrrrrrrreeee."

"I'm not, and if you are going to keep saying this, I will get a brick. I will let you piece up the rest of the story." I saw playfully

"Well anyways, I am forcing my friend named Emma to come to the meeting. She needs to learn how lgbt works because I am pretty sure she doesn't know who we are in more detail."

"Are you sure that is a good idea? I heard she starts a lot of drama. Isn't she the friend that you cannot leave because she won't leave you alone."

"I'm sure, I mean like I said before, she needs to learn. She even started a fight with you about something stupid, oh she made the whole group play a game about like asking each other personal questions."

"Oh yeah, and she kept saying "I won't answer". Like really, she made us play this game and she won't say anything!"

"I know, and she needs learn that she cannot do that to people. Hopefully, by taking her to a room with a bunch of people who know common sense will give her common sense as well."

"Hopefully. So, what is she going to do just sit there?"

"Probably, she is filled with drama and wealth. What else is she going to do?"

"Oh yeah, the white privilege's that everyone says she has. Maybe she will learn not to be a selfish bitch."

"Calm down there Jared! I have to get to English... I will see you later!"

"Bye!"

Soo, she is inviting Emma to the meeting. Wtf is up with her. I swear, Emma is drama filled and always starts fights with people. And she does not even try to fix them.

At the meeting

So we basically are at the meeting talking about bullshit. Like "descriptions about lgbt" and "ways to address different people". Now, that is not bullshit but it was nothing that I didn't already know. I wanted to plan for a protest or something big, except manners.

Emma just ended up watching tik tok all meeting long. I swear, she did not learn a thing. What a surprise, she didn't learn any common decency. This is so typical. I am officially done with her.

At the Coffee Shop

"Hey, Gio! You beat me I see."

"Ah, you know. I like to be early."

"True, you are always early."

"Well, it is cold out here so could you..." Says  Gio jokefully.

"Oh yeah sorry."

"Soo, are you even allowed to be here?"

"No, I snuck out."

"Ah, I have not done that in a long time. Today is the first time in a long time."

"I am going to hook my phone up to the speakers."

5 minutes later of me struggling to get my phone on the Bluetooth speakers

"What's wrong, do you need help?"

"Yeah, it won't connect."

"Here, you probably have your internet off. Here let me help."

"Okay, sure (as I hand my phone too Gio.)"

"Your top played song is baby shark?"

"That is my little brothers jam okay? Don't judge (I say as we both laugh at each other)"

"And your second is ... Call me Maybe?"

"That used to be my jam when I was younger!"

"Oh really?" We both start to laugh uncontrollably"

"Yeah, I had a whole dance and everything!"

"Oh really, did you shake your hips like this (he begins to shake his hips and dance.)"

"Oh no no no, it was more like this."

The rest of the night was history. We dance to Call me maybe all night long, and did not get any work done at all. And that is kind of great, but while we were dancing all night a hurricane formed off the cost of San Diego with no warning. And now, we are trapped in the Coffee Shop by ourselves, with no way to get out.

Authors note*

A category 2 hurricane formed over the coast of San Diego with no warning at all. Wind speeds are 100 MPH, knocking down several trees and causing severe damage to the city.

Jared and Gio only notice the hurricane outside until around 9 PM. At this time they are completely freaking out. The only way to understand why they noticed so late is completely understandable for a pair of horny gay teenagers.

End of editors note*

9 PM

I am having so much fun right now. I have not even started writing the presentation yet. Me and Gio are just dancing to my favorite songs such as: Call me maybe, Baby Shark, Just dance, and many others. 

I know, I know. I had a pretty good taste in music when I was younger. Now, the only music I listen to is the music on tik tok. Just like every other depressed Gen Z teenager. I miss the music from back then. People actually had taste. Todays music, is okay... but it is not the best.

"I wish we could keep dancing like this forever..." Says Gio, he always was a dancer. He loves to dance and absolutely loves music.

"I know I know, but why can we not just dance forever though!" I say in quite a happy mood.

"Sooooo, what other songs do you listen to a lot?" Gio adds curiously as he takes my phone and searches through it.

"Heyyy... those are private I may add sir!" I take my phone foolishly, and then give it back to him playfully.

"No seriously, I want to see what else you listen too... so I can make fun of you in front of everyone!"

"Hey sir, no thank you!" I said playfully. I always love when I talk to Gio like this.

You know, people always say that when someone is gay, if they talk to you then they all of a sudden they like you.

"Hey, do you hear something outside?" Gio asks scared like.

"No, it was probably a bird or something. What did you think it was?"

"I thought I heard wind or something."

"It is San Diego, what do you expect to hear?"

And then we spend the next 30 minutes jamming to my playlist. A pretty good playlist I may add by the way. The wind outside gets pretty bad, so we end up checking the weather on out phones.

"WTF! There... is a hurricane outside!" Gio is panicking, and looks like he is about to shit everything out of him in one second. May I add that the coffee shop is practically all glass so that if a tree falls on us then we are screwed. Fingers cross, this is going to be a hot ride with a hot man.

"Oh NOOOOONONONONO! My parents are going to kill me when I find out I am not in bed right now. I had to sneak out and practically kill the cat because she was meowing at the window and giving me away." I add to help the mood. I am the person to talk to if you are going through something traumatic. My trick is to make everything weird as shit so they don't talk to me.

By the way, do not mess with me people in the comments. I am not in the mood. I can die any moment and if I do not die from this hurricane then I will certainly die from my parents. I hope to see all of you guys in hell.

"Tell me about it. My parents currently think I am at my grandmas house. Except my grandma does not know about this whole entire fake arrangement."

"Yeah, your dead. I will meet you in hell."

"Great, I will save you a spot next to my thrown."

"Thank you, I will save you a spot because it will actually be my thrown."

"Ah, you wish."

"I wish, I will have a thrown. You will just have a training seat so you can learn to be bad!"

"I am bad, you have just never seen my moves in bed before!"

"Oh, trust me I don't... the only things I will see is you dabbing like a grandma!"

"The only thing you will see is my face because I will be on top of you, naked!"

"You wish that. If that were to ever happen you would be on the bottom!"

"It is not a bad thing to be on the bottom, okay. Your thing will just not experience as much exercise as your hole."

"The only hole here that will experience more things then one will be yours!"

"Oh come on, do not be petty."

And then this happened.......

And all of a sudden, a tree flies through the side of the building and flies up and makes the roof shatter into a thousand pieces. Jared and Gio get pushed against the concrete floor by the intense wind of the hurricane. All of the glass rips up their faces and their clothes.

"We need to get out of here quickly!" Says Gio who seems as if he has a plan. And honestly, I do not think he realizes that he practically lost all of his shirt.

"Great, into the break room. Their are no windows at all and it is concrete covered."

"Good idea!"

As we run into the room, a tree branch flies and hits Gio's head. Gio goes unconscious, but before he does so he makes it into the break room. He lies on the floor completely knocked out. He has no shirt on, and only has a few pieces of his pants still on him.

I still have my shirt on and pieces of my pants on, my hand is all ripped up and bleeding though. It is not that bad, it appears that mine and Gio's injuries are not that serious. But as I examine Gio for any glass inside him, I have the urge to run my hand down his body. He has wonderful abs.

He is practically wearing only underwear. The only pants he has is held together by a piece of fabric. I can practically touch wear his groin is and feel him. I want to so much. And then I notice that there is a shard of glass going into his underwear. I do not want to do this at all, but I have too.

I slowly unzip his pants, and pull them off his legs. All that remains is his underwear and the huge shard of glass going into his underwear. I am questioning whether I should pull down his underwear to take out the piece of glass. Blood is coming out of his underwear, I have a unspoken obligation to stop the bleeding. I slowly pull down his underwear, and I see him.

I see him and all his glorly. I do not want to touch him at all, luckily though I see the glass just penetrating next to his thing. I slowly pull it out, and the bleeding stop practically instantly. He is bare naked. Giovanni Alfredo is bare naked right in front of me. I need to clean up his blood.

I get the paper towels and clean up all the blood off of him. The only dirty place left is his thing. I slowly put my hand on him, and clean it up. This is what another boy feels like huh. It feels, right. Like my hand should be on here. I pick it up, and then he gets hard. I start to just play around with him.

I love this feeling so much. And then, he wakes up. I instantly let go of him.

"What were you doing? And why am I naked, where is my clothes?"

"The glass of the roof ripped all of your clothes, and a plank of board knocked you out. Here is your underwear, the only clothing left of you."

"Why were you touching me Jared?"

"There was glass all over you and I was trying to take it all out."

"Thanks, I appreciate it."

"No problem, it looks like your underwear is ripped up. There is no point in wearing it."

"True, and there is no clothing in here. I guess I have to stay like this. And since you already saw me, I won't try to hide."

"Ok..."

"Anyways, since you saw me... I think it is only fair if I see you."

"You do, I mean it is not my fault at all."

"Jared, I know you look at me naked in the locker room all the time. You never change your underwear so I never saw you before. You might as well just show me what you look like."

This is all happening, way to fast. Why is this happening. I was just trying to help him. And I did not make him get hard at all. And now he wants to see me.

"Fine, it is only fair."

And then, I take off my shirt. And slowly unzip my pants, and take them off. All that is left is my underwear. I just stand still for a second, and then I pull them off, and he sees me. And then, I get hard as well.

And then it all just starts happening. We start making out, and we do not stop making out. We fall onto the floor, my body on top of his. We feel each other hard, and continue to make out.

I turn him around, and he does. I put myself inside him. We climax together. We do not stop doing this for hours and hours to come.

We go against the wall, on the floor, in the shower inside the rest room. I push, and push and push. I have my physical climax and we fall on the floor. We switch positions and he puts himself inside me. He pushes and pushes and pushes. We do not stop until we see sunlight and even then we do not stop until he has his climax. We feel each others leftovers inside us. I love the feeling of this.

Despite all our injuries, we feel no pain in this whirlpool of feelings. We go through out love several times more and soon, we have no more to leave after ourselves. And then, we just lay on the floor. And we stay on the floor, until we fall asleep.

Giovanni Alfredo P.O.V.

I wake up from my comma to see Jared Suarez playing with my dick. What the fuck is up with that. It is only fair that he shows me what he looks like. He seems so nervous, and to be honest, I do not blame him. I am probably the first person to see him naked like this besides his family.

We end up having sex together. I have had sex before with Diego, but never with this feeling. With this feeling, I feel loved and warm. I actually want to do this with someone.

I wake up after a full night of sex, to see him laying right next to me naked, asleep. I wake him up and soon as he processes what happened, he pops up and puts his clothes on. I do the same, except I do not have any clothes to put on.

I just remembered that we have spare clothes under the sink just in case. I put it on, and as soon as I walk into the kitchen, he is making coffee and runs outside. I wonder why.

The hurricane is over. It seems like it has done a lot of damage to out shop, but not that much in general outside.

Jared Suarez P.O.V.

WTF! I wake up next to Gio naked! And I realized that we had sex last night. MULTIPLE TIMES!

I get dressed quickly, and make coffee so that if my parents realize that I was gone when they wake up I have a excuse. I went to go get them coffee to help them. I swear, wtf was I thinking having sex with GIO. I have never had any sex before and I did it with a boy. At least it is confirmed that I like boys now.

"You have a lot of explaining to do young man!" And as I walk in, I see my mom standing right in front of me with a wooden plank.
