His Fortress (BoyxBoy)

Chapter Twenty Three

I yawned as I dipped the rag back into the ammonia mixed water. The strong smell of the chemical was beginning to make my eyes water and give me a massive head ache. It was getting late and I was up to my neck in things that I had to do today. Vacuum all the upstairs. Dust the gigantic kitchen, sweep, and for the past two hours I've been hand washing the floor. Because, you know, England doesn't believe in Swiffer products.

I sighed a sigh of relief as I finished up the last square of the tile room. This room was actually quite interesting. It had some items that reminded me of ancient artifacts. Interesting, yet creepy. This room gave me massive chills every time I stepped foot in it.

I picked up the dirty water and walked carefully to the closet where Mr. Kon kept all the cleaning products, and dumped the water in the big sink sticking out of the wall. I washed my hands about seven times, failing to get the ammonia smell out of them. Giving up I headed up stairs to my bed room to watch some TV. I believe they put a TV in my room while I was gone. Or I just never noticed it before.

As I was making my way towards the stairs I over heard Kimberly and Gage talking.

"That's horrible!" Kimberly gasped.

"No, it's disgusting. I mean he stabbed it."

He wasn't talking about me was he?

"Gage don't be like that!"

"What ever I just don't care anymore. All that boy is, is trouble. I'm sick of him."

A sigh was heard from Kimberly. "You're so heartless."

A pain filled my chest. I quickly made my way upstairs. There's no way he could possibly be talking about me. I'm just over sensitive. I sighed and decided to let it go. When I got to my room I took a quick shower. When I stepped out I heard a faint knock on my door.

"One sec!" I called out. I heard and sniffled 'okay' from Kimberly.

I got dressed as quickly as I could. Panic racing through me. What was wrong? Why is she crying?

I threw as shirt on and rushed out of the bathroom. I wrapped my arms around Kimberly. "What's wrong? What happened?" I asked, panicked.

"I'm so sorry."

"About what?"

I sat her down on the floor and leaned us up agens't the bed. She sniffed her nose and looked up at me with glossy eyes.

"Ga- Gage told me what happened."

My stomach began to turn. "Oh..." Was all I could muster out.

"He told me thought it was disgusting. And that he was sick of you."

I felt a sharp pain ripple through my heart. So he was talking about me... I felt the salty tears sting my dry eyes. No, I was done crying. I wasn't going to cry.

"I guess that's just his opinion." I meant my voice to come out strong. But in reality it came out as nothing more then a shallow croak.

I heard Kimberly stir. She straddled my lap and put her hands on my chest. "But if you were with me... I'd never do that to you." She purred.

Well her attitude changed quickly. "Uh, Kimberly, not right now." I said and tired to push her way.

She practically laid down on top of me and twirled my hair around in her fingers. "C'mon don't be that way."

She began to push her face towards mine.

"What the hell are you doing?" Gage's furious voice boomed. Making Kimberly jump off me. I was stunned by the sudden out burst. Everything happened so fast. I was so confused.
