There is no part of this that is easy. It gets progressively more difficult, the more details he gives, the revelations that get harder to process, to cope with. He’s asking a lot of his mom with this.

It’s not just telling his mom he’s seeing someone.

“Is she a nice girl from glee club?”

Finn gulps, braces himself. “Uh, not... not a girl, mom.”

Finn sent it two hours ago. Since then, Puck’s been pacing, heart pounding, punching walls. There’s nothing he can do. He can’t be there; he’s not family, not Finn. He has to wait and hope (and maybe he prays).

Puck can’t stand feeling this powerless. This is something he can’t solve with his fists, can’t scare into submission. But he can’t just ( Read more... )

You can hardly hear the sirens over the rushing of blood in your ears. Then Nick’s calling and you’re going to a party. You feel numb. There’s a blank look in your eyes, but Nick doesn’t notice, or if he does, he doesn’t mention it.

You retreat to a sofa in a mostly empty room. It’s quieter. You huddle in on yourself, and you should be more ( Read more... )

Except apparently, today, Alo is like that. Alo clings to you and you can hear him inhale shakily before he forces himself to let go. It should worry you. Mostly you’re embarrassed, and annoyed at being made embarrassed.

It should definitely worry you when Alo shows up on your doorstep with a backpack and a lost look in his eyes. But you’re too ( Read more... )

They’re making the trek back to the van together. Rich and Grace are holding hands. Alo thinks Grace might actually be skipping, though he knows better than to mention it because Rich would kill him.

Franky, Mini and Liv are walking arm in arm behind them, giggling and whispering and talking over one another. Alo doesn’t want to know what they’re ( Read more... )

“You’re gay, Maxxie.”

“Yeah,” Maxxie says, “so?”

Sid blinks dumbly at him. “So you shouldn’t be sleeping with my girlfriend.”

“Cassie was lonely and sad. She’s beautiful, Sid.”

Cassie’s in the shower. When Sid came in and found them in bed together, she had grinned at him and said “Oh, wow, hi Sid”, kissed Maxxie fondly and wandered naked to ( Read more... )

Sometimes, Tony panics, like when they’re on the bus and suddenly he’s grabbing Maxxie’s hand, clinging and scared like a child. It’s wrong; Tony, the clever manipulative bastard reduced to this. He has tantrums too; he cries and he breaks things and he has to be physically restrained.

Sometimes, Maxxie is scared, terrified. He feels so ( Read more... )

Rich wants to take Alo to hospital, but Alo won’t let him.

“I’m fine,” Alo says, keeps insisting, voice hoarse and horribly wrecked. “It’s nothing. Just a misunderstanding. I’m fine.”

Rich can’t believe him. Alo was beaten bloody and being strangled when they burst in to rescue him.

Grace was checking on Franky and Mini at the time. The first ( Read more... )

It turns out that the not-party is nowhere near as fucking good as Nick wanted it to be.

Rich and Liv battle for control of the music. Grace supervises and eventually convinces them to take turns, subjecting the group to alternating blasts of metal and dubstep.

Matty and Franky get high and consume disgusting quantities of food. It’s fine ( Read more... )
