I hear a yell. Its coming from Aaron's room. Why the fuck would he be screaming in the middle of the night? Is there a robbery? Someone in the house? I open his door. Once I open it, I immidiatly regretted it and shut it tightly. What the fuck? Why the fuck would Daron bring a guy over whith me in the house.

Wait. Daron bringing a guy over? That doesn't sound right. Daron isn't into guys. Actually, Daron isn't into anyone. It must've been Aaron. Shit. Aaron must've forgot I was here. But why was there screaming? It was a scream as if he was going to die.

I open a crack in the door. Just enough so he could hear me.

"Uhh, Aaron? Are you okay?"

"Why the fuck didn't he tell me! Or even warn me!"

......            Daron?

A half naked guy walks out of the room.

"Tell him to call me once Aaron comes back."

What the fuck? Was that... Brian? The one dude who was trying to get with Sydney? If he wasn't with Aaron, I would definately smash that. I didn't think he was gay. I mean it kinda makes sense. He tries to always have a girlfriend, but they never really do anything. Plus, I kinda had a feeling about him, but I wasn't sure. If I was, I would've talked to him by now. Now that I think about it, him and Aaron have been hanging out a lot recently.

"Um... Daron, are you okay?"

"Fuck no! I'm obviously NOT okay!"

This must be a nightmare for him. Since Daron and Aaron both have different sexualities, they made a deal that whenever Aaron was with a guy he'd warn Daron about it. Sometimes I forget how clueless Aaron can be.

"Aaron come out! Come out please Aaron, you bitch!"

Then it went silent. It was so quiet that I opened the door to make sure he was alright. Daron?

"I'm back. Daron sounds pissed."

I immediately leave the room and close the door. He still doesn't have clothes on.

"I'm sorry. I forgot you were coming over."

"It's fine just take a shower and get some clothes on."

                                                                         ...

I'm sitting in the kitchen and staring at the glass of water in my hand. Aaron joins me with a towel around his neck. He finished his shower.

"Umm... was that by chance Brian?"

"Yeah. He was the one to make the first move. At first I was shocked. I never realised that he liked men, but I should've known better. He was obviously interested in me. I mean, it's not really common for a jock to want to be friends with a dweeb like me. I was a bit skeptical. Some guys just want to experament or have fun. But, he wasn't like that. He actually seemed interested in me. I normally wouldn't hide something like this, but Brian isn't ready to come out yet. People allready started calling him a f*g once he decided to hangout with me."

"Don't worry. I'm not the type to out people like that. I mean I get what you mean."

Aaron opens the fridge to get a jug of milk out.

"Still trying to get taller."

"It's out of habbit."

Aaron takes a glass and poors himself a cup. I realised I haven't drank mine. Right after Aaron left to shower, I've just been sitting here zoning out. I take a sip. The water has a weird metal taste to it.

"It's been a while since you last came over. The old lady giving you trouble?"

"It's fine. It's not that bad. I'm just a bit stressed, that's all."

"Do you still get the vibes?"

"They're not vibes."

"Then what are they?"

"They're... i dunno?"

Aaron, after putting the mill away, takes a chair and sits on it backwards while facing me.

"Feel me."

"What!?"

"Feel me. You know. Do you voo doo touchy thingy."

"What!?"

"Use the vibes! The vibes damb it!"

"I dunno if I want to."

"Why?"

"It's just...  lately...  I've been able to see it too. You know? It's just... too freaky. Too real."

"I don't have any scarred past stuff now thanks to you. Now it's just good memories. Now do your thing!"

"Ok, ok!"

Sheesh. He kind of sounds like Todd.

I place my hand gentily against his face. I forgot how soft his skin was. I close my eyes and concentrate on the sound of my heart beat.

I start to fall.

No... to swim.

It's so bright. The rays of the sun feels so nice. I feel... kind of fluffy. It's been a long time since I felt a good vibe. Shit. Now i'm starting to call it vibes.

Yeah, I guess he's right. There doesn't seem to be any past scars. I guess he finally sorted his emotions out. But there is still a cold spot. The warmth of the light seems to distract you from it. I guess he still hasn't talked to his parents yet. How long has it been? I guess they still don't like having a gay son. But it's nice to see that isn't stopping him from living his live.

I stop before I could access his memories.

"Yeah, you seem fine. But if you don't take care of things soon, it might all burst out at once and leave a hole. Then the dammage will take a LONG while to heal."

"Yeah, I got this. Soon I will get an apartment and be able to pay my own bills without their help."

"I mean, you should talk things out."

"There is nothing to talk about! They're a harsh conservative Catholic family!"

"We could get a place together. I wasn't planning on staying with miss Clair anyway."

"Shit. Darons gonna hate me for a while."

"Hey, Aaron. Do you remember anything when you were younger. I mean, like really young."

"Actually, I don't know. I had this accident when I was little at the beach. I went to far in the water when my parents weren't looking. I was in a coma for two weeks and couldn't remember anything before waking up in the hospital."

"How do you know then?"

"I really don't. My parents and the doctor explained everything to me. The only things I could remember were my name, age and drowning. So, I belived them."

"I should go to bed it's getting late."

I get up from my chair.

"By the way, your honey bun wanted me to tell you to call him once you came out."
