Finding love - 8. Chapter 8

I couldn’t work up the nerve to tell Brody that I like him too and he stayed silent on it too.

Mom and dad told me that Hastings was appealing his sentence on the grounds of new evidence and that evidence actually was going to get him locked up even longer. It turns out that he had installed cameras in the boy’s bathrooms to “protect the students”. The State’s Attorney pointed out that they were just in the boys bathrooms and if it was meant to “protect the students” that should be in both bathrooms, a fact that Hastings and his attorney couldn’t dispute. It turns out that Uncle Ron had found them once the police had left and called them back. I wasn’t sure why they sat on the evidence but they must have had their reasons.

I had texted Mark but wasn’t getting responses. Mom had told me he felt responsible for it blowing up. It turns out he had posted the video’s and got his 15 minutes of fame at my expense. Our families had been friends for years and I wasn’t sure why Mark was doing me dirty. I wasn’t as close with Nathan and Nick as much as I was to Noah and I felt alone most days. They were keeping me in the hospital for observation and I was doing physical therapy and therapy with Liz. My memory was doing better but there were certain things I still couldn’t remember. Noah’s death still bothered me and Jonah showed up a few more times but the guard stopped him after Asher have him a talking to.

I must have dozed off after physical therapy, as Greg worked muscles I didn’t know I had. He was really good at his job and it helped at he was kind of cute; nowhere as handsome as Brody but Greg could have anyone he wanted easily. I expected Asher to be seated there as it had become custom for him to visit but he returned to Iowa for school. I came to face with Carly and baby that looked like Noah.

“Who’s that?” I said making her jump.

“Hey sleepy head; this is your nephew.”

“Nephew? Noah was a dad?”

“Yes, but he had no idea. I found out in July but I kept it to myself. I told your parents when you were in the hospital. They have been helping take care of Noah Jr.”

“Noah Jr?” I said my voice breaking.

“Yes, I named him after his father.”

“Oh wow,” I said and starred at little Noah.

“I assume you have questions?”

“Not really, you and Noah have always been so close. You dating just made sense.”

“I want to be honest with you Matt. Your brother, Asher and I had a relationship for a while.”

“Noah was bisexual?”

“Yes, he was. It was me who brought Asher into our relationship.”

“Is Asher his father now?”

“No, when we lost Noah we just couldn’t continue being together. Your parents stepped up and helped with the appointments since my dad couldn’t always be there.”

“Is this why Mark is being distant?”

“No. Mark is being Mark. Brandon and Asher really lit into him about posting the video and made him donate the money he made from the interviews. My father went ballistic when he found out how much Mark made from going viral.”

“He made money off me being tormented?”

“Yes and all of it has and will be donated to various alphabet mafia causes.”

“Alphabet mafia?” I was confused.

“That’s one of the new nicknames for the LGBTQIA+ since letters keep getting added.”

“I don’t know what to say,” I was becoming fidgety and Carly noticed.

“Do you want to hold your nephew?”

“Yes, please.” I said through the tears that formed.

He looked up at me and just smiled and cooed. Somewhere deep down I felt Noah’s presence. I played with Noah the best I could and Carly was smiling and took a few pictures.

“Just so you know, you are his god-father,” Carly said as she was getting ready to leave.

“What does that entail? I’ve never been one before.”

“We can talk about that later. Are you ok with this whole nephew and brother news?”

“He accepted me for who I am, so I accept him for who he was. I am also very ok with having a nephew.”

“Good diapers are yours for now on.” Carly said and laughed.

“I wouldn’t wish that on anyone,” Brody said from the doorway.

“It looks like I have perfect timing. I’ll see you later.” Carly said as she kissed my forehead and left.

“How is physical therapy?” Brody asked.

“Well Greg, he’s hot so it bearable.” I watched Brody digest that statement.

“I think you’re hot,” he mumbled.

“What was that? I’m a thot?” I giggled.

“Not a thot, you’re hot.” Brody blushed.

“Well I think you’re hot too,” I said turning crimson.

“Well it’s established, you’re both hot,” Nathan said coming into the room.

“Cock blocker,” I said under my breath. Brody seemed to lose any steam in telling me if Nathan was around and I decided right then I needed to do something.

“Nathan, do you have a problem with me being gay?”

“No, just don’t try anything with me.”

“First that’s incest and second I wouldn’t ever think about kissing you. Lord knows where your mouths been.”

“Pussy, dude.”

“Not from what I heard.” Brody said.

“Excuse me?”

“Chill Nathan, it’s not a contest.”

“Says the high school virgin.”

I don’t think Nathan saw it coming and not sure I did either. Brody decked him with a right hook and knocked his ass flat on the floor. Brody took off while Nathan sat there and rubbed his jaw.

This is the millionth version of the chapter as I've rewritten it several times. I am happier with how this one turned out. I didn't give Hastings a deadly end like I did before.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter.
Thoughts on what will it take for Nathan to be accepting?
How was the surprise of Noah Jr?

Knock him on his ass again brody.  I love little noah junior. Seriously though maybe a few more punches will help the fucker. The dudes most likely to say "don't try anything" ate the ones we have the least interest in doing anything with

it's his brother... so yeah off the list. Nathan's a bit full of himself.

His  comment will probably post before I'm done with mine but @Wesley8890 left an angry reaction I wonder why sure there was some CS stuff mentioned but not any worse then a lot of other chapters. There really is no reason for Matt and Brody to be bashful with each other

Noah Jr means there's a piece of his older brother around so that's good. You're not doing anything like bringing Noah back like Star Trek brought back Mr Spock? This could be Noah starting all over again.Yeah that's nuts but I thought I'd throw it out there.

To answer your question about Nathan I think maybe seeing Matt being hated on by thugs might turn him around .If not I have no clue

@Wesley8890is mad at Nathan and his asshattery behavior. 

Brody and Matt were getting somewhere before the cock blocker came in. Matt goes home soon and let's just say they will connect and I mean Matt and Brody. Brody's fist might connect with Nathan a few more times. :o

No one is coming back... I toyed with a bit of a cross of TJ/Tristan but chose not to. I've made some connections to them but will leave it at that. Noah Jr. is going to help Mattie with some of his depression as Noah will have some of Noah's genetic habits. 

He could have Asher beat his ass but I got a plan that I was going to start on but ended this chapter with some violence. :)

I love Noah Jr. Nathan is an ass and deserved to be punched. Will he ever except Matt and Brody.

Hastings is going down big time, with those cameras found. He'll be dropping the soap for a very long time.

Nathan is going to come around... I am just trying to sort a few things out on how.

Hastings is going to be in jail for a very long time. He's already got a life sentence for attacking Mattie. 

Noah Jr was a bit of a surprise for me. I wanted to come up with something that will help get Mattie over a hump in his depression.

So my angry emoji on this chapter was about Brody’s violent reaction to what Nathan said. I get that he is emotional and in love with Matt, but being violent instead of having a conversation about his feelings is not a good thing.  There is a lot of dysfunction in this story to begin with, and that doesn’t seem to be a way to possibly build a healthy relationship with the people around your loved one.

I do understand what you are saying. Just remember that Brody is a teenager and sometimes they don't think before they act. There is a reason for Nathan's hostility towards Brody and Mattie and we are going to dive into it.

The dysfunction comes as not all families are perfect (speaking from my own point of view). It also adds to the story as it keeps it interesting and makes you realize that sometimes there are crazier people than you out there. 

I ask that you continue to give the story a chance and remember this: Brody hasn't come out to Nathan and Nathan knows that Brody is in love with his brother. Is there jealousy or maybe something else entirely. Honestly, I am teetering on why Nathan's hostile and I know I need to make it worthy of why he's being obnoxious.
