*Chapter 1: How Roen met a Sage *
It should have just been a night out with my best girl-friend, but it didn't turn out that way, since I fell for a guy who I didn't think I would fall for..
It was to be my first night out with Jessie and her new boyfriend, Jonathan, the kind of guy one could stare into his eyes and get hopelessly lost in their depths.
As Jessie recounted over the phone earlier that day to me. He sounds so hot to me as she described him as Blond hair and blue eyes and 6'0 of pure smouldering hotness.
Since I couldn't very well tell for myself, since I couldn't see a thing. Oh yeah, I should tell you who I am, the name's Roen and this is the story of how it's better to have loved than not back in my high school days.
I got a call about 8PM later that night.
"hello Go for Roe," I said into my iPhone 5.
I heard Jessie's light voice on the other end,
"Hey Roe sweetie, you need to get off that Mac and come out with me and my new boyfriend," she started off with playfully, "Oh and he's really hot, plus, I think he might have a friend for you
too." she finished a little teasingly.
This lovely person here is Jessie or Jessica, though she hates her full name, she's about 5'5 with fiery red hair and a temper to match. She's such a tomboy, we met in 3rd grade, on the playground when nobody pick me for kickball, so we played tag and have been friends ever since, Jessie being the first one I came out to in 7th grade, her reaction was simply: "Oh my God! Yes Roe! I knew it from day one." Then she playfully slapped me on the ass like she always loves to do.
I gave a audible sigh at this news, Jessie seemed to go through guys like she does shoes seeming to have a new 'love of her life' every other week.
"Fine, as long as the friend is hot and he better be Jess, not like that last one I went to dinner with and just wanted in my pants..." I warned her, remembering that unfortunate dinner with that bastard Patrick. He was on me in under a minute when we got back to my parents' place after dinner. Had to push him off real quick or dad would have come in with something to kill the bastard.
anways ...back to Jessie and her new boyfriend, I grabbed a shower and thrown on some black jeans and a grey shirt with the spider-man symbol , and my usual silver necklace with a eagle in flight and my two silver rings, one on my index and ring finger on my right hand. My ear rings always in place, a hoop, slightly above that a plain stud, both sterling silver, in my left ear .
I'm not a muscular guy or anything, but I keep fit with martial arts and such things, I'm about 5'6 in height, about 140 pounds with straight brown hair, that matches my eyes.. I guess I can be labelled as a gamer, my favourite types were stealth and action games, like the Splinter Cell series.
I heard Jessie's old beat up 1980s red pickup truck stop in the driveway just behind dad's newer 2005 Nissan truck, the older pickup's engine was the type you can hear a mile way, a well maintained V8 engine. She shot me a quick text of ""here'. I grabbed my keys quickly, put them in my front pocket and of course, snatched my iPhone 5 off the charger as I went to meet Jess and her boyfriend as well as hopefully a hot guy for a night of what might happen.
A large fire crackled in front of me as I listened to Jessie making out with Jonathan. His hot friend and I just sat there awkwardly not saying much, since all the whisky was gone and I was kind of tipsy, the hot friend turned out to be AlexSage , from my 4th period math class. He was cute from the description that Jessie gave me earlier on the way to the campsite, of 5'6 in height with dreamy blue eyes, ,red hair and boyish looks.
I heard the click of a lighter and the smell of smoke filled my nose, Jessie just about ready to roar and shout at him, since she hated smokers, he must have hidden it well to get past that strong dislike of Jess's.
I really didn't like smokers but as long as it wasn't totally in my face, I was fine with it. I stood up then intending to take a piss. Letting my cane snap into place, as I started walking towards the trees. A hand grabbed at my arm holding me back suddenly, "Hey umm... Oh yeah, Roen, where you going off too?" Alex asked shyly, sounding a little scared to my ears.
Alex, who was still holding on to my arm, as if he didn't think I could go and take a piss in the trees and make it back to the camp fire by myself.
"Just going to take a piss in the woods, too much whisky." I replied, as I felt Alex's grip loosen, "Oh... okay, sure." he said for all in the world sounding like a puppy that was just kicked.
As I continued onwards, soon finding my way to what I hoped was out of sight of the campfire, unzipped my fly and relieved my bladder. Zipping up my fly and wiping my hand on my jeans before heading back towards the campfire, knocking a few tree trunks with my sides on the way. I soon heard Jessie's voice raised high, almost shouting at Jonathan.
"You're going to burn the whole forest down you idiot, stop flicking the lit butts into the trees!" Jessie was in full on shouting mode now, I could hear Jonathan's hands curling into fists, his knuckles cracking as he did so.
I started running as fast as I could, hoping I could stop what might happen, I burst out of the woods, my breathing heavy as I heard a loud slap echoing through the quiet trees.
"So I take it the dates over?" I asked as I finally reach the campfire, my cane gripped in my hand ready to hit Jonathan upside the head if needed as Jessie spoke in a low voice towards my direction.
"Yes Roe, I think it is, so let's go." Jessie said, as she started walking to her truck.
"Oh hell no! You're not leaving us here!" Jonathan shouted.
I could hear Alex doing something, maybe covering his ears and singing to himself, " la-la-la-la-la I'm not hearing this". I think I heard a rumour his parents fought all the time. I walked over to check on Alex, my hand finding a shoulder as I rested my hand there, "You okay Alex?"
He jumped then and fell to his knees, scared at my touch. He stammered
out weakly in reply, "Yea.... yeah Roe, I've fine." he stammered in reply.
"You want a ride back with Jess and me?" I asked him, hearing him getting back to his feet.
"Uhh....I don't know, Jonny said he give me a ride back." he said quietly.
Just then Jonathan's voice broke through our talk. "You find your own way home faggot!" He yelled seemly at the top of his lungs.
Once more a loud slap landed on a cheek of the jerk and I heard Jessie's keys inserting into the lock of her pickup, "C'mon Roe, Alex let's go already!"
I smiled at Alex, taking his hand to encourage him as he and I walked to Jessie's truck to get home.
"Hey Jess, you know where you're going?" I asked settling into the back bench seats of her truck. "Yeah, I picked up Alex from his place, since Jonathan didn't want Alex in his Charger."
Alex spoke up, shyly but enough to be heard. "Can I ...?" as he sat himself beside me in Jess's truck, " Can I stay with you tonight Roe? My parents don't know I'm gay and well... I'm not sure how they'll take it"
The sound of old truck's engine kicked into life just then as I nodded my head at Alex. "Yeah sure, my parents wouldn't mind at all.'
With this said we headed back to my place, the truck hitting every dip in the dirt road on the way.
Jonathan shouting at the truck's tail lights all the while as they receded into the distance.
