"I'm done, Jack Merridew!" The green-eyed, blonde yelled at me. Almost everyone at the party were staring at us. "I've had it with all your broken promises and secrets!" Ralph's, usually handsome, face was contorted into a scowl. My china-blue eyes narrowed. "Why did you have to make it into such a big scene?" I yelled back. "Why couldn't you have waited 'til later, or even, done this in a room?!" My eyes flickered over to Robert, who party it was, and who looked like he felt extremely awkward.
"'Cause, you'll just ignore me!" He pushed my shoulder, drawing my attention back towards him. "Look! You're not really even listening to me now!" His face was beginning to flush reddish.
I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "You don't need to have my full attention twenty-four seven you know!" I retorted.
"That's it! We're through!" Ralph growled and stomped towards the frond door like an angry child would.
"Fine! I don't want to see your ass around me anymore then, you whore!" I yelled after him, letting my anger get the better of me.
"Fuck off!" Was the last thing Ralph said before storming out of the house and slamming the door. This left me standing in the middle of Robert's living room with all eyes on me, like a spotlight.
"Why don't you all mind your own bloody business!" I snapped, before Roger pulled me to the backyard, and everyone went back to the party.
"What the Hell was that all about?" Roger asked when we were alone.
I growled. "I was supposed to go to some diner with Ralph, his aunt, and uncle, but I said I couldn't make it." I said rolling my shoulder back. "He's just over-reacting again." I growled crossing my arms over my chest.
"Isn't this, like, the third time you've done this in the past week?" He asked leaning against the wall. "I'm not trying to seem like I'm taking his side, but that's kinda messed up." Roger stated looking me straight in the eyes.
A sigh escaped my lips. "It's just,... It's weird for me. Meeting his family and all. Especially since it's not even his parents." I said, joining him in holding the wall up. "Besides, I'm doing something else that night.
Roger gave me a funny look. "What could YOU possibly be doing? As far as I know, everyone else is busy this weekend."
"Look that's my business." I gripped running my fingers through my red hair. "Let's just drop the subject, alright?" I offered sliding down the wall.
"Fine, but this makes it sound a lot like you're cheating on him." He said before looking back in at the party. "You need a ride to your place?" Roger asked after a pregnant pause.
Yeah. Mind if I crash at your apartment too?" I asked, feeling my head begin to throb.
"Sure." He held out his hand to help me up. "We should probably leave now then, before Robert decides to kick us out."
I took his hand and hoisted myself up. We headed to the front, avoiding most of the party goers that made their way out side, to Roger's Lexis. I slid into the passengers' seat and leaned got into the driver's seat and started the car. The radio blasted some Mindless Self Indulgence song, before he quickly turned it down. "More then likely, Simon is already asleep. So you'll have to be quiet." He muttered getting on to the road.
"That's fine with me. I've got a headache anyways." I replied, rubbing my temples trying to reduce the pressure building in my skull. "I still don't know why you're letting him live with you. He's like, what?.. Three years younger than you?" I know it might have seemed rude, but I've known him long enough, and that question had been bugging me for some time.
"He's just trying to get some kind of freedom. With all his "episodes", his parents are extremely over-protective of him. So they're paying me his room and board to make sure he goes to school and he doesn't get himself into trouble." Roger said, turning into the apartment's parking lot. "I'm technically his guardian 'til he decides to go back home." He finished by turning off the car and getting out.
I followed suit. "You seem pretty sure he'll want to move back. What if he doesn't?" I asked as we ascended the stairs.
Roger paused for a second. "He's living with me. He'll want to go home sooner or later." He said his voice taking a lower tone before he went through the door.
Part of me wanted to continue the conversation, but I pushed it aside when I entered the apartment. Roger always kept his place fairly neat, but looking around, it looked spotless. "Wow! What happened here?" I asked just above a whisper.
"Simon cleans up in his free time." He replied going to the hall closet. "He's also a pretty good cook." He pulled out a blanket and pillow, then threw them to me. "I'm turning in early. Phone chargers in the kitchen and the remote should be on the coffee table. Have a good night." He said before disappearing down the hallway.
Dropping the pillow and blanket on the couch, I went to plug my phone up to the charger. It had died about an hour ago and my own room mate, Maurice, was probably trying to get a hold of my about the fight. Just thinking about him was making my head spin even more.
I went through the cabinet, looking for any kind of aspirin. Finding what I was looking for, I quickly poured out two and got a glass of water. All the while, I could not help but think about Ralph, which ended up making me feel worse.
At this point, we had been together for about three years, ever since he had been sixteen, and I was seventeen. When his mother found out about us, after a year, she had flipped shit and kicked Ralph out. His mother's sister had taken him into her home. To say she was thrilled would be an understatement, especially since I was told she wasn't able to have kids of her own. He husband was also supportive and welcomed him with opened arms.
For the past month, Ralph had been trying to get me to meet them, saying that they were excited to finally meet their "son's" boyfriend. Every time the subject would come up, I would either change the subject or say I was busy. Tonight was no different and Ralph had reached his breaking point.
With these thoughts swimming through my head, I went back to the couch and collapsed. Before I drifted off to sleep, I decided that I'd call him tomorrow and try to work everything out.
