VANCE'S POV
AS I approached the door I couldn’t help but smile.I'm serious when I get in. The wind blew me away when I noticed Steven was no longer following me. I sat down when I saw that Calvin and Braxton were already here.
Calvin happily talks to Kedrick and Dashei in a corner. He has two co-officers on the student council. They are included in the meeting to mediate.
Kedrick is a representative while Dashie is secretary to take note for student councils records.
While Braxton was talking to Karson. Karson was also one of the officers of Braxton's fraternity.
Braxton's jaw clenched when his ex-girlfriend Clodeth arrived with her boyfriend Arlo.
Arlo is one of Steven's fraternity officers while Clodeth is a sorority officer.
I was guilty. I know Braxton avoids seeing and meeting the two because he hasn’t been able to move on yet but now he has to face them because of Steven and I’s issue.
That's sad.
VANCE'S POV I drank it. I calmed myself down and kept it from blowing while listening to what Steven was saying. "Vance and I were schoolmates in high school-" "Enough," Braxton groaned. "we don't care." But Steven continued, "I'm sure Vance doesn't remember me anymore but I can't forget him. Vance is known to-"Steven's words were cut short when Braxton approached him and grabbed him by the collar, "I said shut your fucking mouth!" Suddenly there was a commotion. "Braxton!" Arlo shouted then stepped to meet Steven but Davion stopped him. "What are you doing Braxton?!" Ryker shouted as he stepped towards the two but Karson blocked him. Kedrick mediates with Arlo and Davion. While Wena mediates with Ryker and Karson. Calvin and I rushed to Braxton and Steven to appease them. "Why don't you listen? I have reasons. Why don't you listen to me first before we fight?" said Steven proudly but obviously his h
VANCE'S POVI was not doing anything wrong.Being gay is not a crime.I didn’t beg to Kuya Dernico to stop. I didn’t fight either. I accepted his blows, if that was the only thing that would make them feel better and be the way for me to be accepted.I was bleeding and my clothes were torn when Kuya Dernico stopped because of the people who came. I was surprised to see Brywin carrying by two bodyguards. He was crying and had bruises on his face.Fear enveloped my whole body. I was not prepared for what our love would cause.Kuya Dernico dropped me to approach Brywin. I clung to his leg and stopped him from what he was planning but he just stepped on me.I forced myself to stand up and block Kuya Dernico when he pulled out the gun of one of Daddy's bodyguards and aimed it at Brywin."Kuya, don't!" I knelt down to him. "Please... dont hurt him! Hurt me instead! Don't hurt the man I love-"I almost l
VANCE'S POVMY Mommy gave me a large amount of money for my expenses for a year. She said they could only give me one year to allow me to live what I want. After a year and I have not returned to them as a real man, they will cut my allowance.So I saved and kept that money.I thought I would have to work to earn money that I would add to my savings and also to provide for my daily needs. Besides on that, I want to entertain myself. I want to exhaust my body so I don’t have time to think about what had happened before. I want to forget the past and heal the wounds in my heart.A month later I heard that Brywin and his Aunt were dead. It was reportedly killed by riding in tandem.That happened after the truth came out that Brywin and his Aunt were paid-people by Daddy's political opponent and the incident about us was just fabricated by them.No one knows who plotted their deaths. There were suspicions about who but that didn't matter a
VANCE'S POVWHILE in the last line of what Wena was saying I stepped closer to Clodeth but Quenie preceded me to approach there.Quenie confronted Clodeth and gave her a loud slap.We were all surprised.Oh no, these women are really robbing me of the scene. Come on girls! It's my time to shine!“I’m a lesbian,” Queenie said. "Ten percent of our members in the sorority are lesbians. As our leader, is that what you would say? Is that what we hear from you? How can you lead us well if you hate those like us?""Queenie-""I know Arlo," Queenie turned to Arlo then to Ryker. "I will accept the punishment that will be meted out to me for doing this but as a person I think I have to do it. As a member and one of the custodians of the fraternity and sorority I need to remind Clodeth of ways to stop her barbaric mouth and awaken her conscience."Then Quenie and Arlo stared."Apology accepted," Ryker said after t
VANCE'S POVAS the day goes by, a lot is happening and things are changing. Little by little people are moving on about the issue that Steven and I are involved in, while I am not.Since that happened, Steven has been messing my mind and my heart. I was starting to feel the weight of my remorse that I had rejected him.I haven't seen him in weeks and as time goes on I'm having a hard time. I miss him so much. I am bothered even though he said that he could wait for me.Im thinking, if he can wait for me why don't he wait beside me? So that I don't need to be worried that he might have forgotten me.IT'S friday night!I went with my friends to the bar to spend time.I was alone sitting in the lounge. Davion and Calvin are on the dance floor. Wena, on the other hand, has conversations in the VIP room. Braxton went home early.I just nodded when Davion motioned for me to dance with the girls. Honestly, I want t
VANCE'S POV"VANCE, I need your answer in thirteen seconds," then Ryker began to count.I was swallowed.I turned my eyes to the stage again. I see there men climbing on stage and pairing dancing with women. So, I think it's alright.If I dance there it won't be obvious that I'm doing it for Steven and to win the bet. Everyone would think I was there to dance with the girls.Two birds in one bullet. I'll be able to notice Steven and I'll make more money.Before Ryker finished counting, I immediately picked up the money."Whoa!" Ryker applauded happily as I stood up.He also stood up and politely showed me the way to the stage.Before I stepped onto the dance floor, I drank some wine that gave me courage.I lift my head and puffing out my chest.I slowly flinched as I stepped closer to the people.I was greeted by loud music, cigarette smoke and the smell of a variety of alcohol from people dancing wi
VANCE'S POVWHEN suddenly the lights goes out on the stage where I was.I closed my eyes for a moment.I felt tired because of my dancing. I shook my head when I felt dizzy due to the effect of the alcohol I drank. But more dominant now than I feel is the pain in my heart.Steven forgot about me. He moved on after he messed up my world, he moved on right away while I am starting to love him."Vance, don't forget that kiss because that's the sign of how I feel for you. That kiss will bind the two of us together. A kiss that will remind the two of us."I opened my eyes when I suddenly remembered what Steven had said.Right! I need to kiss him so he can remember me and that kiss will bind us together again.The light on the stage where I was standing was still turned off but the music continued. The people grew louder but not out of shock but out of joy as if the loss of light gave even more excitement to everyone.
VANCE'S POV"I KNOW it's you Steven. I kissed you because I know it's you."Suddenly his beautiful smile flashed on his lips.It was as if I suddenly woke up from my hypnosis in front of him."Vance can you repeat what you said?"My cheeks warmed at his plea. I was very nervous but I still managed to scream in front of him."I can't! Get out!" I motioned for him to come out.He kept smiling and watching me. From his looks he was obviously very happy with what he was doing.My chest throbbed even more but I couldn't help but smile because of the tickle I felt when I stared at him.My finger pushed his chest to keep him away. I don’t know if he was just pretending or not as he looked weak when my finger landed on his chest as he smiled looking at it.At the same time he complained that I could not understand if he was enjoying or hurting by my finger dabbing at his chest."Im shuddered by
