The Tide Began to Rise
Chapter 26

[Brent’s POV]

I heard the garage door open, and then close. My mom was home. She walked through the door and came straight to the living room.

“Hey honey. How was your weekend?” she asked me.

“Ok, eventful. Not in a great mood.” I said

“Trouble in paradise?”

“What?”

“You and Tyler; are you guys fighting?”

I just looked at her with a shocked and confused look on my face. “Is she talking about what I think she is talking about?”

“Come on Brent, give me some credit. I know that you and Tyler are together.”

“Really? How long have you known that I’m…………. Umm…………umm…………”

“Gay……….Honey, I have known since you were 5 years old.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, you used to steal my pantyhose and wear them around the house. You never wanted to play with boys toys. You wanted an easy bake oven. It was the things that you did. I can’t say that I didn’t hope it was just a phase. But deep down I know that it wasn’t. I am happy for you. I’m happy that you found someone. It is going to take me a while to get used to the idea. But you just remember, you are my son and I will always love you. I will support both you and Tyler no matter what.”

“Thank you mom, I love you so much.” I gave her a hug.

“You’re welcome honey. The only thing that I need to ask you is, to spare me the details.”

“I think I can do that.”

“So why are you so down? Are you and Tyler fighting? You can tell me anything.”

“It is a combination of things. Someone at the party on Saturday outed both Tyler and I. So now the whole school knows. Everyone was talking about it today. Some people were supporting me; but mostly, people were starring and whispering. Whenever I got close, they would stop and give me death glares. Then to make it worse, Tyler wasn’t there to make me feel better. Something happened this morning and now we are fighting. Tyler was so upset that he skipped today. I have no clue where he is.”

“He’s outside with Brad right now.”

“Really?” I ran over to the window and looked out to the driveway. Sure enough Brad’s car was there, and Tyler was in the passenger seat.

“Do I even want to know what the fight was about?”

“You don’t want details.” I smiled

“Ah, ok. Well; when he comes in, take him to his room, down stairs, or to your room to talk.”

“I will.”

[Tyler’s POV]

Brad and I just sat in the car. We didn’t talk. We just sat there in silence. I had my phone in my hand. I was waiting for someone, anyone to call me or send me a text. I wanted and needed to get my mind off Brent. I wasn’t ready to talk to him, but I’m already in the driveway. I couldn’t just ask Brad to drive away. I guess I could, but then I would just be running away from my problems.

I looked over at the window, and saw Brent standing there. He was looking right at me. As I looked back at him, a single tear rolled down my cheek. I wiped it away. I turned to look at Brad.

“Thank you for today. You’re a great friend. I don’t ever want to lose you. You always know what to do to cheer me up.”

“You’re welcome.”

I leaned over and gave him a hug. He hugged me back. When we broke the hug, I gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then I got out of the car and walked to the front door.

Brent was standing in the door way to the living room when I walked inside. I took off my shoes then looked Brent square in the eye. His eyes were red, he must have been crying.

“Down stairs.” I said, and started walking. I could hear Brent following me.

I sat on one of the chairs, and I pointed at the couch directly across from me. Brent sat where I was pointing. I took a deep breath, and then started.

“I’m going to talk first, don’t interrupt me……………. This morning……….. No wait. I love you Brent. You mean everything to me. I would do anything for you. I would do anything to just see a smile on your face. I thought you loved me. I don’t know what happened to you in the shower this morning. You were so sweet, and then you went cold. At first your hand was like a soft cloth rubbing me, and then it turned into a piece of steel wool. It hurt. You had gotten me hard, half way to blowing my load. It felt so good, that I went weak in the knees. Then you got rough because I asked you to help me finish. I was going to do the same for you.

“You got me off and left. Then to top it off, you decided to leave me here. What the fuck? Did you expect me to walk? Today was going to be hard enough at school. I didn’t need the added stress, so I called Brad. I asked him to skip with me. I left you with all the abuse and harassment that everyone was going to give us today. And all day long I was hoping that they would make you cry.

“You really hurt me today Brent. I felt used. I felt that everything has to be on your time, when you’re not in the mood, then nothing. But if I insist, you will still do it, but it will hurt. You broke my heart. You made me feel lower then dirt. You made me feel like my dad made me feel. I hate feeling like that, and I won’t let anyone make me feel that way anymore.

“Ok now you talk. Tell me why you did what you did. Tell me what you were feeling. Tell me if you even considered how I felt. And I want the truth. Don’t just tell me what you think I want to here.”

I sat back in the chair and crossed my arms.

“I want to start off by saying I do love you Tyler. I’m so sorry I hurt you. There is no excuse for what I did. I wanted to stop then because I wanted to do something tonight. I thought that after the stressful day of school, that finishing what we started might cheer you up. I guess I should have told you that. I got mad because……………well………….I don’t know. I guess you didn’t listen to me. I did want it my way. And no, I didn’t consider how you felt. I wanted things to go my way.

“I didn’t mean to make it hurt, emotionally or physically. I was just frustrated. I guess part of it was that I was worried about what would happen at school. I didn’t get much sleep last night.

“I don’t know what else to say. I love you so much Tyler. I’m so sorry I hurt you. Can you please forgive me?”

I sat there with my arms crossed, just watching and listening to Brent. He buried his face in his hands. I stood up and went over and sat down next to him on the couch. I put my hand on his thigh.

“Brent, look at me…………………. Everything in my body is telling me not to forgive you. You hurt me deeply. You hurt me in ways my dad never could. You broke my heart. I still love you. I really, really do. But I lost a lot of respect for you. My heart is telling me that I need to give you a second chance. I have to listen to it. But I won’t listen a 3rd time. So you know we are back to square one. You have to earn things back. Right now all you’re going to get is to hold my hand and a kiss.”

“I understand. Thank you so much for giving me a second chance. I’m going to do whatever it takes to make things right.”

Brent leaned over and gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

“So what did you do today? I know you were hanging out with Brad.”

“We got some lunch, we went to Joe’s Karting, and the rest of the time we just hung out.”

He got this strange look on his face. It was almost a look of jealousy. Is he jealous that I spent the whole day with Brad? If he is, then oh my god, there is no reason for him to be jealous. He is pretty much the one that set this day up.

“What’s that look for?” I asked him.

“What look? This is my normal face.”

“Whatever, I’m going upstairs.”

“Ok…..oh by the way, mom knows.”

“Knows what?”

“About us.”

“Did you tell her?”

“No, she already knew. She was the one that said something. She said that she is completely ok with us.”

“Wow, that’s………Great.”

He gave me a weird look after the pause. But he didn’t say anything.

I went upstairs and went to my room. I was tired from the long day. I was ready to let my mind slip away. I was ready to be in the peaceful realm of the dream world. I needed to let my mind be free of the events of the day.

Slowly I started to slip down in unconsciousness. It felt great. I was in a state of pure bliss. That is, until there was a knock on the door.
