Chapter 3

                                    

                                          
Chris POV
                          
After Gordie and I kissed I packed my clothes.
                          
I didn't wanna be here when Eyeball got back if he came back.
                          
I wanted to be at Gordie's house where I knew it would be safe for the both of us. I didn't know how long we would be safe but I needed time to clear my head so I could make a safe decision to keep us both safe.
                          
"Are we still going back to my house.", Gordie asked me with a blank expression.
                          
I knew he was scared, hell I was even scared for us and Eyeball was my own brother.  But when I thought about it I wasn't really scared of my brother, and I don't think Gordie was either. We were both scared that Eyeball would tell Ace, because if Ace knew Gordie and I were as good as dead.
                          
I looked down at him, he was scared. I put my hand on his cheek,"Don't worry about it, we can go to your house and we can talk there."
                          
Gordie gave me a look, "Why can't we talk now? It's not like we have a better chance at my house. I mean if they can't find us here the next place they will look is my house. So why not just talk about it here?!"
                          
"Listen I know you're scared but if we stay here then we are sure to be caught sooner. Plus we can lock your house up and they can't get in, here Eyeball has a key. So can we go?"
                          
He nodded then stood up and started our journey back to his house.
                          
The walk back wasn't like most of the walks we had. Usually, we would walk in the middle of the road messing around, jumping in front of cars, racing, him jumping on my back, tripping each other, and we would make fun of each other like calling each other names and making fun of our grades at school. Dumb stuff like this that made me love the boy I was dating that I could call mine.
                          
But this time it was different, we were walking on the side walk trying to stay out of sight. It was quiet and awkward, Gordie would just dismiss our conversations when ever I try to start one. It was getting to the point where he wouldn't even let me put my arms around my shoulders. He would shrug them off or move his arms uncomfortably when ever I tried.
                          
I knew he was scared to get caught but I just wanted to hold my Gordie, even if it was just in a friendly way.
                          
In stead of trying to get him to talk about it with me, I just kept walking in silence, not touching him, not talking to him. But I was with him, and for that moment it was enough for me.
                          
Finally, when we reached his house we hurried up to the side then shut and locked the door behind us.
                          
Once the door was locked we began to shut and lock all of the windows, we weren't risking it. Not until we had a plan.
                          
When we finally had all the windows locked we sat down on Gordie's bed finally able to relax.
                          
"Chris are we gonna die like that last couple?" was the first thing Gordie asked me.
                          
At the moment I was sitting up against Gordie's head board and he was sitting on my lap straddling my legs.
                          
"Only one of the boys died Gordie, remember? So one of us would live. Now on top of that, they weren't us, we are smart and if it comes down to it I will make sure one hundred perfect that you will live through this okay? But nothings gonna happen, Eyeball could tell Ace and everybody in the whole town. But that doesn't mean everybody's gonna believe him, he's Eyeball Chambers. He's known for lying and causing problems, no one's gonna believe anything he has to say! Especially if he says that the youngest Lachance boy was gay with his little brother. They will know for sure he's just fucking around with everybody. Don't worry about it okay?" I explained to Gordie while rubbing his back.
                          
Gordie looked up at me like he was about to cry, "But Chris what if that doesn't happen. What if they believe Eyeball and they come for us? But what if only one lives?! I can't live with out you and I never wanna leave you! I know we haven't said this yet but I love you, Chris Chambers! I love you more than my parent's, more than anybody. You are so important to me and I don't wanna... No, I can't live in a world you're not in."
                          
I held his face in my hands and moved him closer to me, "And I love you more than anybody I have ever known even my whole family. You are so close to me and I couldn't in a world with out you either. You're my rock, my boyfriend, my best friend and my other half. Living in a world with out you would be like drowning above water. I love you so much, Gordon Lachance."
                          
Gordie moved closer to me, "And I love you too Christopher Chambers."
                          
Then Gordie leaned forward and kissed me passionately on the lips.
                          
At this point, I knew I loved Gordie and I knew I would take care of him and protect him at all cost.
                          
I wrapped my arms around him protectively as he stopped kissing me and laid down on my chest.
                          
"One day we will get out of here Chris, go have our own house and our own kids in a town where people accept us." Gordie started to say as he drew patterns on my chest.
                          
I smiled as his hopes and dreams for us, he was explaining how everything was so perfect that I felt like I could reach out and touch them. He would explain everything in such detail, the would we would have. Our kids, what they would look like their names and everything.
                          
I looked down and saw his smile grow on his face and I couldn't help but also smile at Gordie.
                          
He knew we would get out and we would have a future together. And because he knew and believed in this plan, this idea. I couldn't help but also have a little hope and believe this was also gonna happen for us.
