Season Two - Ep. 9

No school today, due to a snowstorm that was supposed to be equal to a hurricane...though it never happened.
So, I tryed to call Alexis.
"Hi, is Alexis there?" I called her house.
"No, she's out right now." Her dad.
"Will she be back soon?" I asked.
"No." He said.
I hung up.
I called Paul.
"Hey, long time no see." He said.
I heard voices in the backround.
"Who's there, with you?" I asked him.
"Hold on." I heard him talk to the other person in the room. "I'll be right back."
Silence.
"Ok, I'm in the other room." He said.
"So who's there?" I asked again.
"Alexis." He anwsered.
I shuttered.
"What?" I tried to comprehend.
"Dude, I was going to tell you earlier, but I didn't get a chance. She asid you guys have been broken up for awhile, so I asked her out. And she said...yes. Please, please don't be angry." I heard him loud and clear...
"She told you what? But didn't she tell you about her..." I trailed off. "What are you doing..." I asked....but I didn't want to hear the anwser.
"Well, I'm trying to figure something out. I've been confused lately." I was still on the topic of Alexis. He kept on talking. "I haven't been with a girl, and haven't been attracted to any lately. So I'm trying to see if..." He stopped.
"Kris?" He asked.
"I'm listening." I said.
Paul swallowed.
"Remember Jermey...What he did? Not the suicide but the other thing..."
I suddenley knew what he was talking about.
"Paul...are you..." I didn't want to say anymore.
"Hold on...Alexis wants me. I'll call you later."
We hung up. The anger of knowinbg Alexis didn't care about me anymore, and she was trying to move on with my best friend, and the worry that my best friend was gay...
I didn't want to hear anymore.
I couldn't call Alexis.
After the phone call, I haven't spoken to her since.
My brother didn't know his son was dead.
He didn't need to know...yet.
