"Come on George, you're making a huge deal out of this!", Jake huffed behind me, as I stormed into his room, and threw my bag at the blonds' work table, almost knocking his computer down in the process.

"I am making a big deal!? Are you fucking kidding me?", I shouted as I whirled around coming face to face with bewildered-looking Jake.

"Yes! What is the big deal anyway? It's not like I was going to do anything with her.", Jake said, looking at me like I've lost my mind for reacting this way, and maybe I have, but I didn't care either way.

"You got jealous when a guy asked me to tutor him last year, and now you are telling me that I shouldn't react the same way when my boyfriend decides to ask his ex-girlfriend to the prom!? Are you fucking kidding me!?"

I was furious, but what was even worse was that I felt betrayed. The two of us had agreed to not take dates, not that I could get one even if I wanted to, and just go together as friends since we couldn't go as a couple, but then today, just as I was exiting the Math classroom I stumbled upon Jake asking Melisa to go with him.

I had never been so angry in my life; I wasn't even sure how I've managed to keep my cool in front of everyone until I was able to leave.

"We had a deal, Jake. And you broke it, without even telling me beforehand.", I whispered dejectedly, sliding down to the ground as all the fight left me.

I heard Jake coming closer until he slid down next to me, but I couldn't see him since my head was in my hands.

"I am sorry, Shorty. I was planning to tell you. Last night my dad asked me about prom and when I told him that I wasn't bringing a date he got all weird and suspicious, so in the end, I told him that I would ask Melisa. But I know I shouldn't have done it before speaking with you.", Jake said while dragging my hands away from my face.

"I get it, Jake, I really do.", I said as I looked up to his face.

"But honestly, I am getting really tired of all of this. I want to go out with my boyfriend; I want the whole world to know how much I love you, but I can't and it's killing me.", I whispered the thoughts that have been plaguing me for quite some time now, as I stared at the opposite wall, my hand still in Jake's as the boy squeezed it like a lifeline.

"I know George, but I just can't come out, and you know that. It's easy for you to talk like that since your parents don't mind you being with a man, but it is different for me. My father would probably disown me and throw me out and that would put an end to my football career before it even had a chance to start. I am sorry, baby, but there is too much at stake for me."

I nodded, knowing that Jake was right, and I completely understood where the blond was coming from but it still hurt.

The smart thing to do would be to just end this before either of us got hurt, which was definitely bound to happen sooner or later, but I couldn't.

My heart hurt just at the thought of not being with Jake, of not seeing him every day, of not kissing him and touching him, of not making love to him. I just can't do it. So, in the end, I said, "Okay.", before kissing him softly.

His hands instantly came around me as he pulled me into his lap.

The kiss got heated and fast, as it always did between us since we just couldn't seem to get enough of each other no matter how much time had passed or how many times we did it, but a loud bang and a shout broke it up, as I suddenly found myself on the floor, my head banging hard on the corner of the bed.

I looked up in confusion, slightly dazed from the hit to my head, to see Jake standing up and looking petrified at the sight of his father who was standing at the doorway and glaring at the both of us.

"What is the meaning of this!?", the man yelled so loud that the glass in the windows started to shake, and I shoot up to my feet in the next second scared out of my mind.

I looked at Jake, at a loss of what to do or say, praying that the boy would come up with some excuse until I heard Jake say ten words that made me freeze on the spot.

"He kissed me, dad. I didn't want to, I swear!"
