Fiction > It all started when I first saw you: The Aftermath
By Jason Smyth, 25 Reviews Post your review
Hey again, this is the second part of “It all started when I first saw you”.
This story is completely unrelated to “rolling in the deep” and features
different characters while still being 100% fiction. Thank you all so much for
emailing me and reviewing the story, I’ve been really pleased with the amount of
positive feedback I’ve been getting and I’m glad I’ve been able to help a few
people. Anyway, here it is! LIAM’S POINT OF VIEW I stood for a few seconds in disbelief, my mouth hung open, I could still
taste Brad’s lips, then I turned and ran, as fast as my legs could carry me. I
didn’t know where I was going but I just kept running, I tried to run faster,
hoping to escape the sounds of Brad’s cries as I abandoned him. Finally I left
the woods and returned to the park from which we had entered the woods in the
first place. I stopped and leaned against a tree close by to catch my breath.
Images of Brad’s face flashed through my mind. How could I have left him there
in that state? He had finally opened up to me and I let him down. More than
that, I had crushed him. For a second I was tempted to turn back, but what would
I say? I couldn’t go back now, he would need time to calm down. Besides I was
still confused in myself. “Why did this have to happen to me? Am I supposed to
be gay?” I whispered under my breath. “Too late to go back now.” I started
walking away from the woods, towards home, I needed to think. BRAD’S POINT OF VIEW I sat in the clearing for hours after Liam ran off. Just sitting with my eyes
closed, blanking out the sounds of nature, I tried to cut myself off from the
rest of the world and failed. No matter how hard I tried my thoughts were pulled
back to the man I met just last night, I had been instantly taken by Liam, but
things were now over before they even began. I replayed our conversation over
and over again in my head. How I had told him about my brother, he had been so
caring, so gentle. How could I have been so stupid to make a move on him?
“Arrgghhh” I pounded my fists onto the log I was sitting on, immediately a sharp
pain spread from my knuckles, I opened my eyes and looked down at my hands, they
were red and bleeding slightly. I got up and started walking, following the path
Liam had taken out of the woods. I stuffed my hands into my pockets as exited
the woods, it was midday and the park was filled with people, I kept my head
down and tried not to draw attention to myself as I walked home. When I reached
my apartment I recalled how excited I had been when I left earlier, now I was
returning, with no hope, no Liam, nothing. I opened the door and threw down my keys before entering my bedroom, it still
smelt like deodorant, I had put on far too much this morning, I was so excited,
trying too look my best for Liam. I fell back onto the bed fully clothed.
“Brad.” I waited for a few seconds before I heard the voice again. “”Brad is
that you?” It was the voice of my brother, I opened my eyes suddenly. “Yeah
buddy, what is it?” I got up and walked into his room, he was still in his bed,
exactly the way I had left him this morning. “Where did you go?” His eyes looked
inquisitive as he questioned me over my whereabouts, I had left hours ago.
“Nowhere special, me and a friend just went to that spot in the woods, you
remember, the one we used to go to.” I placed my hand on his stomach gently.
Slowly his small, thin arm moved towards my tanned, muscled arm. His small thin
hand wrapped around three of my fingers, it was all he could manage to hold. I
felt his grip tighten slightly but he was too weak to hold me properly.
“Really?” His eyes narrowed as he focussed on my facial expression. “Really.” I
took my free hand and placed it one his small three fingers. He frowned slightly before pulling his hand away. “Okay then.” I felt my
phone vibrate in my pocket, but when it persisted I realised someone was calling
me. “You gonna answer that?” Peter asked with a smug look on his face. I pulled
my phone out of my pocket and read saw Liam on the screen, I wasn’t sure whether
or not to answer it but then I looked up at Peter and I could see it in my face
that he was urging me to answer it. “Hello?” I got up and walked out of my
brother’s room, closing the door to ensure he couldn’t hear me. Once I was out
of his hearing range I changed my attitude. “Listen Liam I don’t wanna talk.” My
brain told me to hang up but something inside me wouldn’t allow me to hang up
when I heard Liam’s voice on the other end of the phone. “Please, just hear me
out. I’m sorry about this morning… I eh, freaked out and I’m really sorry.” I
leaned against a wall as I listened to his sincere, deep voice. “Well it doesn’t
matter…” Liam cut me off “Don’t say that Brad please… I said I’m sorry but I
know that’s not enough. Listen I know you opened up to me this morning. And that
took balls, so I think I owe you the same, so can you just listen to me, even if
just for a little while?” I knew I had to listen to him, I felt compelled to
listen to his beautiful voice. “I suppose” I said calmly trying to act casual.
“Good, listen, I’ve been confused for a long time now, about myself, but
recently, I’ve started to well, accept who I am, and well, I guess it all
started when I first saw you. You made me think it was ok to be gay. Just the sight of you sitting at that
bar was enough give me strength.” I listened closely as Liam explained himself.
“I just, need to take things slowly, I’m not ready to have a ….. boyfriend, but
I really need a friend, and I don’t see why you can’t be him.” I stood in
silence for a moment, I could hear his breathing down the phone, I guessed he
was probably nervous and this agonizing wait would feel like a lifetime to him,
I didn’t want to put him through anymore pain. “Okay, I’ll be your friend” I
smiled a little but tried not to make it too obvious to Liam. “Cool, so I’ll see
you tonight at the park again? As friends, and I promise to be on time this
time, say eight o’clock?” “I’ll see you then.” I think I could hear through his
voice that he was smiling, great, see you tonight then, bye…” “See you later” I
said before hanging up the phone. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself but I could already feel the
excitement building again. Despite my immediate optimism, part of me couldn’t
help but worry there would be a repeat of this morning, that I would do
something stupid and scare him away again. My thoughts were broken when I heard
my brother coughing, instantly I ran to his room, “What’s wrong? Are you okay?
What is it?” He looked up at me and laughed before replying. “It was just a
cough calm down.” He smirked at me. I scratched behind my ear and felt
embarrassed, I always overreacted at the slightest things when it came to Peter.
“Oh, sorry, I just wanted to make you were okay, you know how I am.” “Yeah well,
I’m okay, I heard you on the phone just now.” He now looked more serious than
before. “Oh? Well, what did you hear exactly?” “I heard you making plans to go
out tonight…. And well, I know how long it takes you to get ready when you’re
trying to impress a girl so you should probably start now.” My face dropped a little, I hadn’t told him about me being gay. I figured he
was too young for that stuff to matter to him, and by comparison to the other
things in our life it didn’t seem that important. “I know, but not all of us are
so lucky to be naturally good looking like you.” I joked with him then winked.
He giggled a little but his smile quickly faded. “You think you’ll be okay
tonight little bro, I won’t be late.” I hated leaving him alone if I didn’t have
too, until I met Liam the only time I would leave Peter would be to go to work.
“Yeah, you deserve to go out for once.” He smiled at me but I wasn’t sure how
genuine it was. “I hate leaving you.” I sat on the edge of his bed the way I
usually did. “Seriously, I just want you to have a good time for once.” He just
kept smiling, come to think of it he never stopped, it amazed me how mature he
had been over the last couple of years, he made me so proud. “If you insist.”
“Finally, now seriously start getting ready now or you’ll be late.” Then I
remembered he hadn’t eaten much this morning. “Not yet, we’ll get something to
eat first, how does pizza sound?” Peter tilted his head to one side and looked
out his window, “Sounds good to me.” “I think we have one, I’ll go check.” I got
up of the bed and checked the fridge, we were in luck, I pulled out the pizza
and put it in the oven, while we waited for it to cook we sat in his room and
talked, just about stupid things, kids things. Then when it was finally ready we sat in his room and ate it. I broke it up
into small pieces for him and then watched him as he shoved it in his face, in
the end his face was red with tomato sauce. “Why can’t you eat like this all the
time?” I was joking but it made me think, I wished his appetite was like this
all the time, I hate it when he doesn’t eat. “Dunno.” He said between mouthfuls
of pepperoni pizza. When we had finished I rubbed my stomach feeling full.
“Don’t worry, your stomach is still flat, your six back isn’t going anywhere.” I
laughed as I stood up. “Peter, I told you, it’s a six pack, not a six back. And
of course it’s not going anywhere, I’ve had it since I was sixteen. Someday
you’ll have one too.” I pulled my shirt up slightly revealing my toned stomach,
I patted my stomach and watched as Peter looked on curiously. “Someday, maybe.”
Then he turned his head away and and repeated his words under his breath
quietly. His words didn’t make sense to me at the time. Feeling full and
satisfied I left Peter to rest while I got ready. The feelings of excitement
returned but part of me still worried about leaving Peter. I pulled of my shirt and my trousers before stepping into the shower. I
gasped in horror as a jet of ice cold water poured over my slim body. There
never seems to be hot water in our apartment, probably a mix of overuse by other
people in the building and my inability to pay bills and rent on time most
months. I tried to make the shower as quick as possible and didn’t take time to
relax. I washed my hair and body quickly before stepping out and drying myself
off quickly. I then wrapped the towel around my waste and headed for my bedroom.
“Okay, let the games begin.” I clapped my hands and rubbed them together before
opening my wardrobe. I pulled out countless pairs of jeans and a never ending
selection of tops. “Too baggy, too tight, wrong colour, ripped, too revealing,
not for tonight” Finally I settled on dark jeans which were tight but not too
tight, appropriate for friends going out and a plain black top which outlined my
muscles. A quick spray of deodorant and some aftershave left just my hair to do.
Almost there I thought to myself. *************************************************************** LIAM’S POINT OF VIEW Kyle leaned against the door with his arms crossed as he watched me rush to
get ready. “So who’s the lucky guy?” “There is no lucky guy, we’re just
friends”. I pulled on my plain white top as I defended myself against Kyle’s
constant questioning. I guess he was pretty protective over me. “Yeah well use
protection bud, I don’t want you bringing anything home.” I looked him in the
eyes, showing him I was annoyed at him by frowning at him. “Point taken.” He
said as he slid out of the room quietly. He had a point though, what if Brad
tried something, what would I do? Where were we even going tonight? I put my
curiosity and fear to the back of my mind as I put on my shoes and left. *************************************************************** BRAD’S POINT OF VIEW I stepped into my brother’s room to say goodbye before I left. “Okay I’m
ready to go, you need anything before I leave?” I had last minute doubts about
leaving him, he looked worse than normal tonight. “No, I’m okay, thanks anyway.”
I sat for a few more seconds before replying “Okay then, I’ll try not to be
long.” “Brad, I meant what I said earlier, just have fun tonight, enjoy your
life.” His voice sounded weak but there was something strange about it which I
couldn’t put my finger on. “Just promise me you’ll enjoy yourself.” I laughed
nervously. “I promise, I’ll see you later okay?” I quickly walked towards him
and kissed his forehead. “Bye Brad.” And with those final words I left the
apartment. It was a clear night but the air was cool, I wasn’t really sure where we were
going yet, but it didn’t matter to me, as long as I was with Liam, I was going
to enjoy myself and keep the promise I made to Peter. I walked quickly and it
wasn’t long before I reached the park, I saw Liam sitting waiting for me, he was
looking all around him, he looked nervous as he waited for me. I snuck up behind
him and placed my hands firmly on his shoulders shocking him “Boo!” He jumped
and twisted his whole body to look at me, he took a sigh of relief when he saw
me, then let out a slight laugh. “So, where to?” I said to him, hoping he would
have a better plan than me. “Ehh, I don’t know, you wanna grab a drink?” Liam
looked up at me from the bench where he was sitting, he looked so adorable, but
I couldn’t think like that, we were just friends. “Sounds good to me.” After walking around for a while we found a decent looking club near where I
worked, it was another gay bar but a bit more upper class than the one where I
worked. We ordered drinks and took them to a table near the back, the atmosphere
was good and the music was loud but I could sense we needed to talk. “Listen
Brad, I am really sorry about what happened this morning, I don’t know what I
was thinking.” I could tell from his face he was sorry, he was ashamed of his
actions this morning and probably wished he could take them back. “Listen,
honestly it’s okay, you’re here now.” I paused for a moment. “You know, when you
left, I just sat there, for hours, waiting, I thought maybe you would come back…
I know how stupid it sounds, in fact fuck it, it doesn’t sound stupid it is
stupid, fuck I’m so pathetic.” I felt Liam place his hand on my lap again,
similar to the way he had touched me this morning, it felt comforting but after
this morning I was worried he was going to freak out again. “Don’t say that,
you’re not pathetic, I think you’re amazing and I barely know you.” My eyes
watered slightly and my bottom lip was shaking but I felt Liam’s hand being
placed gently on my chin, he then raised my head slightly so I was looking
directly at him his big blue eyes looked directly into mine. He used one hand to hold my head up before taking his other hand of my lap
and using it to gently brushed my face, he used him thumb to rub the tears from
beneath my eyes. He smiled at me gently, but then his smile faded away slowly,
giving way to a look of curiosity, amazement, he seemed lost in my brown eyes,
and I was lost in his. Slowly I felt his thumb glide smoothly along my face,
down my cheek and onto my lips, his thumb rested gently on my mouth, keeping me
quiet. He then surprised me by leaning forward slowly and closing his eyes.
Instinctively I closed my eyes the way he had done. I felt his thumb part from
my lips, this quickly saddened me but sadness was replaced by chills when his
thumb was replaced by his soft, wet lips, he tasted even better than he had this
morning, and it last longer than a couple of seconds. It felt amazing having him
kiss me. His lips pressed against mine and we were simply lip locked, then I felt his
tongue invade my mouth, not that I put up much of a fight. His tongue swirled
around my welcoming mouth, finding it’s way around, making itself totally
familiar with my own tongue. Finally our lips parted and we both took a deep
breath of air. I opened my eyes to find him gazing at my shocked face. I laughed
nervously which made him laugh. “I’m sorry, I don’t know who came over me… no
fuck.. I don’t know what came over me.” Liam lowered his head and I could see
his shoulders shaking showing he was laughing. I giggled myself and he looked up
at me, still laughing, then we both burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter
eventually when we had both calmed down I finally managed to talk about our
kiss. “I don’t know what came over you, but I enjoyed it.” Liam tilted his head
to the right in a way that looked adorable and smiled at me. “Me too.” He said
quietly. I continued to smile at Liam as we gazed into each other’s eyes. “Let’s just
go.” I said confidently. I slid my hand closer to Liam’s and gently slipped my
fingers between his, taking his hand to lead him out of the club. The cold,
crisp night air bit us immediately as we stepped outside into the street, the
sky was cloudless and a full moon hung effortlessly over us. I smiled as I gazed
up at the natural beauty of the world, then smiled even more at the natural
beauty of the young man standing in front of me. We walked slowly through the
streets occasionally stopping to listen to the music emanating from clubs and
bars. We walked through the all too familiar forest, still holding hands
unconsciously at our sides. Our fingers seemed to interlock perfectly and
comfortably, like they were made for each other. The sounds of twigs crunching
under our feet were unheard over our endless conversation, we talked about
anything and everything, but eventually our words turned to each other. “So I
was thinking, I don’t really know that much about you for someone I’ve spent so
much time with in the last 24 hours.” I asked Liam with an inquisitive tone in
my voice, I was trying to dig deeper into him without pushing him away. I kept
walking at the same speed, looking straight ahead, trying to act as casual as
possible. I took it as a good sign that Liam did the same, he kept walking as normal
without showing any signs of fear, he seemed as calm as he had been. “I guess
you’re right. I’m not really sure what to tell you, my life’s pretty boring to
be honest.” Liam laughed nervously. “I live just outside the city centre with my
friend Kyle. I’m not really sporty, it’s not my thing. But Kyle makes me go
running with him and work out with him, says it’s important I take care of my
body. I guess I’m a pretty nice guy, honest, friendly, loyal.” “Okay I get it,
you’re Mr perfect.” I turned my head and smiled, showing Liam I was joking. “I’m
not perfects, far from it really.” Liam’s voice lost it’s confident tone now, he
sounded self conscious and I was scared of him going back into his shell. I
squeezed his hand a little tighter showing him my support. “I think you’re as
close to perfect as anyone can get, any guy would be lucky to have you.” We had stopped walking now and I was looking directly at Liam, he didn’t need
to say anything, his body language said it all. “You know Liam, that closet
won’t hold you forever, you should come outta there and get some air, enjoy the
view.” I took my left hand and grabbed Liams, now both of hands were together
and I we were standing facing each other. Liam’s head was down, hiding his face.
“Yeah well it’s warm in here” Liam joked. “I’m serious Liam, you have to come
out some time.” Liam lifted his head now and tried to be strong. “You don’t
understand, I don’t have a choice, I can’t come out, I’m not strong like you.”
Liams eyes showed fear. I just wanted to put my arms around him and protect him
from anything anyone threw at him. “I understand completely Liam, you think I
didn’t go through this? Well I did, and even if sometimes you feel you’re not
strong enough, I’ll be here for you.” I squeezed Liam’s soft hands tightly. “I
might not know you that well yet, but I know you well enough to know you deserve
to be happy, and you deserve someone who will love you like you deserve.” Liam
didn’t say anything, he just leaned forward and rested his head on my shoulder,
burying his face into my neck, I felt his warm breath on my skin. I let Liam
enjoy this embrace for a few minutes before I spoke. “Let’s go, there’s someone
I want you to meet.” We walked a little further before we arrived at my
apartments. We passed a group of drunken teens on the way up the stairs, Liam looked a
little nervous but I was used to this sort of thing. I lead Liam into the
apartment and went into the kitchen to get us a couple of drinks. I told Liam to
go threw a different door, I wanted him to meet my brother but after a few
seconds he appeared in the doorway to the kitchen. He’s asleep, I didn’t wanna
wake him.” “That’s okay, I’m sure he would want to meet someone new anyway, he
doesn’t get out much, so he’d kill me if I brought a boyfrie…. A friend here and
didn’t introduce them to him.” I handed Liam his drink and together we headed
into my brother’s room. I set down my drink on his bedside table and spoke his
name gently. “Peter, Pete wake up there’s someone here to meet you. Peter didn’t
stir and instead just lay there motionless. I shook him slightly by the shoulder
gently, his head tilted to one side but his eyes didn’t part. I sensed Liam
crouch down next to me. “Peter?” I spoke a little louder, now shaking him
slightly more vigorously. “Pete, come on wake up please, this isn’t funny.” I was now shaking my
lifeless brother violently, using my strength to try to wake him. “Peter!” I
yelled, that was enough for Liam, I felt his hands on my body, trying to pull me
away from my dead brother. “No, get off I can’t leave him.” I barked at Liam.
“Brad you have to let go off him!” I could tell from Liam’s voice that he was
panicking. “I’m sorry Brad, he’s gone.” Hearing Liam say that was enough, I
stopped shaking the shell of my ten year old brother and just held him in my
arms. He seemed so small. I felt Liam put his arms around my waist followed my
his chin resting on my shoulder. I felt the heat of his body from behind me.
“I’m sorry Brad.” I didn’t know what to say, my brother was gone. “I don’t wanna
let go of him.” It didn’t make much sense to just sit here, holding on to his
body. But it made me feel like he was still here, like nobody could take him
away. “I know, I know.” *** I woke up the next morning on the floor, I opened my eyes to find Liam lying
at my feet, one arm behind his head, one arm folded across his flat stomach. I
sat up slowly, rubbing my eyes. I turned my head and was inflicted with the
sight of my brother, motionless, lifeless. I felt tears start to well up in my
eyes. I hear Liam stir, he sat up and looked directly at me. He crawled over to
me and just put his arms around me, pulling my head onto his warm chest. “You
didn’t want to leave him last night, so we just slept here. I hoped I would wake
before you so I could be there for you when you woke up but clearly you beat me
to it.” I could hear the sadness in Liam’s voice but I knew his sympathy was
nothing compared to the what I felt. It felt like someone had punched straight through my chest and pulled my
heart out. Not even Liam was enough to fill the gaping hole left by the death of
my baby brother. “He’s gone Liam, how can he be gone?” I paused trying to take
in the seriousness of what I was saying. “I mean, I knew this day was coming…
but I didn’t think it would come so soon.” Liam kissed me softly on the head,
not with passion or lust, but with care, comfort. “You’re strong enough to pull
through this, he would want you to be happy, wouldn’t he?” Liam hadn’t been
lucky enough to meet my brother, but he still knew exactly what to say. “I know
he would want that, but I don’t know if I can be happy now. He was all I had
left.” Liam continued to gently hold me, I didn’t feel smothered, I felt
comfortable and secure. “You have me, and I promise I’ll do what I can to make
you happy again.” Liam meant what he said, he was there for me, I knew I was
going to need him. “Thank you” I whimpered. Secretly wondering how I was going to carry on
knowing the last person I had to call family was gone, I didn’t know where he
was, if he could see me, hear me, or if he had gone anywhere. Where do people go
when they die? I don’t know yet, obviously someday I’ll find out. But until
then, I hope my little brother is running around, being watched proudly by my
mum and dad. I closed my eyes and imagined them all watching over me, I don’t
know if they are watching over me, but I know Liam is. Hey everyone, I hope you’re enjoying the series, lemme know what you think!
Constructive criticism is more than welcome. Good or bad just be sure to let me
know! I’ll try to be as fast as possible with part 3, thanks for reading!
