The Boy Next Door

Chapter 15

He linked his hand with mine as we continued to walk down the beach.

"I never did say sorry for prying and snapping at you earlier." He finally says.

"It's ok, I just want you to know I tend to bottle things up, then I explode, I'm not really good at telling people things, I just feel like I can't trust them... I guess you could say I have trust issues... But thanks for forcing it out, no ones gotten me to do that for a while. It made me feel... I don't know... Almost lighter, like it took some weight off of me."

"That's what it does though, it takes that weight off your conscience. But I get it... After something like that happening, it makes sense that you'd have a hard time talking about that, I'm guessing- ah it's Cameron right?- was the person who got you to talk usually?" I nod. "Well it's always hard to find someone you can trust, especially when you lost the only person you could trust... But know that you can trust me."

I look out to the water. "Thanks."

We continue to walk in silence when I hear Greg shout that food was ready. We walked back and I grabbed a plate, and a bun, then went to pick out a burger. I grabbed one with cheese and it was just the way I liked it.

"OHMYGOD you should be a chef, this is amazing!" I practically moan. Everyone laughs as I take another huge bite. I end up having another burger because it was so good.

We all just sit around and talk about random things.

"So then she shouted, 'but your dick was amazing!' Across the field at the guy and everyone heard. I was pretty sure he was gonna die from embarrassment and I thought I would die from laughing so hard!" Greg says, starting to laugh again. We were all laughing at his stories.

"So Sam, any stories?" Blake asks me, wiggling his eyebrows.

"I will rip your eyebrows off if you do that again." I laugh.

"But, when I was 15, I went to a party with some friends, dani and drew, so me and dani were boy-hunting and drew walks up with 2 extremely hot guys. Dani immediately starts flirting but I knew something was up, I had never seen them before but their style was amazing, way better than any guys I had ever seen, even Drew's. So I finally caught on that they were gay and I looked at Drew, silently asking and he nodded his head, so I started laughing and looked at the guys who looked so uncomfortable. Finally, dani caught on after what seemed like an hour, but she was so obvious about it! She's like, 'oh ohmygod your gay aren't you! Well this just got awkward' and she just made it even more awkward by saying that and I just sat down in the middle of the floor because I was laughing so hard."

"I wanna meet dani she sounds hilarious!" Greg says.

"So what did you do the rest of the night at the party?" Luke asks.

"Mostly drink or make out with some guy I found, then I don't really remember much... Dani said I might have lost my virginity at that party but we don't really know for sure... But the next party I went to I did it so that may have been my first time or second... No one really knows actually."

"Why does she think you lost your virginity there?" Jack asks.

"Apparently I was lead upstairs by some guy."

"So you don't even know who your first was?" Blake asks, almost annoyed.

"It was either Shawn or Colton." I tell him.

"You still don't know..." He mutters.

"Do you want me to call them?" I ask.

"Might be a good idea!" He tells me, on the verge of shouting. I pull out my phone, scrolling through my contacts until I reach Shawn.
