Jason McCann

"This party is gonna be so sick" Alex exclaims as he ran water though his hair. I tied my shoes, I'm usually a party animal. Today just doesn't feel right I don't want to go, like at all.

"Come on Jase don't tell me you still don't wanna go" Alex mumbled. "They'll be so many hot girls-"

"I'm gay" I cut him off. I think that was to blunt of a statement. I did have sex with girls, I tried to see the attraction. Then i caught feelings for a guy, I started to have crushes on guys. Then I realized that maybe I'm not straight and I should stop pretending.

"That's pretty dope dude but your still coming to the party" obviously he doesn't mind. Alex is those people you meet once in a lifetime, you just can't let go once you got them.

"Aight" I chuckled opening our apartment door. My and Alex are roommates, brothers even. He probably feels away that I never told him. "Hey you aren't mad I never told you?"

"It's not my business jase, you can only decide who should know your sexuality till you feel comfortable"  I think Alex is so cool because his brother died because he was bi. He went to pride and never came back home. He was jumped in a ally and left for dead.

He told me that, ignorance is what's keeping society from peace. He also told me that he wished he had four arms, you never know with Alex.

I'm fine with that though

I sipped my beer looking at my phone. It's only 12. I'm ready to go though, but me and Alex don't leave each other, people are crazy these days.

I bobbed my head to the music and tried to at least enjoy myself. How could I feel so alone in a room full of people?

"Hey Jason" Amaya passed by me. I gave her a quick smile before I continued to daydream. Amaya is cool people, I think she helped me realize I was gay. I didn't tell her though, but her brother gave me a erection before she did.

I guess in college you discover yourself completely. It's not like I'm scared of my own sexuality, or how people view me because of my preference, it's just hard to admit it to yourself. I'm so used to girls I'm scared to explore outside of the female body.

"Can you help me?" I didn't notice Amaya still in my face. I must've zoned out.

"Sure with what?!" I exclaimed over the music.

"Help me put my necklace on!" She grabbed my hand and lead me to the bathroom. It's not like I got anything better to do.

She closed the door and took a breathe. "Sorry it was to loud out there" she gave me the necklace. It had a B on it.

"Amaya doesn't start with B?" I raised an eyebrow.

"But Brandon does" she giggles. My eyes widened as I locked the necklace. "3 months yesterday, he got me that as a gift" I smiled at her.

"That's great Amaya."

"After I saw you get hard for my brother I knew that you didn't like me jase" my jaw dropped. "I'm not dumb jase" she smiled.

"It's okay, well not really it kinda sucked at first cause I really liked you and then..I met Brandon and we just took off from there" I chuckled at her statement.

"I'm going through a journey Amaya...thank you for understanding"

"And I won't tell no one either, you didn't even know I knew"

"Well I appreciate it" I gave her a hug. As we came out the bathroom I saw a guy holding another guy bridal style.

The boy being held seemed out of it. "Amaya" I grabbed her hand and tilted my head.

"Holden is sick" she growled. "He's drugged up Jason" my eyes widened. People stared but continued to dance and converse. I felt sick to my stomach. I can't allow this. I tried opening the door but I was locked. Amaya banged on it.

"I'll go tell Jackson, it's his house he should have the key" I nodded as I continued to to bang on the door.

"Open the fucking door" I growled.

"Fuck off" I heard him say.

I'm a pretty chill guy you know, I got cheated on, didn't bark on her or fight the guy, my phone got stolen and I didn't go on a rampage, I failed a few test I studied my ass off to past and I didn't tell the teacher off. Yet certain things do piss me off, especially a asshole whose about to rape some guy and doesn't want me to kick his ass.

At this point I'm pretty livid. I ended up breaking the door before Amaya got Jackson. I'll pay him back, this is more important. 

"What the fuck dude!?" I grabbed his neck and pushed him against the wall choking him. "I-I can't breath"

"That's the point you dick" I spat. I looked over at the boy, his shirt was off but his pants was still on. I sighed in relief. I heard distant gasps and omgs but I didn't focus on it to much. "Your a sick piece of shit" I punched his mouth.

I dropped him on the floor as he gasped for air. I kicked him in the stomach. "Jason! My door dude!?"

"He drugged that kid up" I replied checking his pulse. He's still breathing.

"Jase?" Alex called his eyes widened at the boy on the bed. "That's Justin!" He exclaimed. He helped lift Justin up as we carried him out of this party. Amaya handed me his shirt.

We moved through the crowd with Justin I heard him mumble a few words. "I'm going to the dean. Take Justin home, I'll take a Uber"

I nodded and out Justin in the back seat of my car. Maybe Alex should've taken him because Justin knows alex I'm just some stranger. then again I would have to tell the dean I almost chocked that guy to death.

"W-where am I?" Justin faintly said.

"Justin, I'm happy your ok. My name is Jason, I'm friends with Alex. I'm taking you to our house because some dude drugged you up" it sounds simple but that sentence was very complicated. He tried to sit up but fell  back down. I grabbed a water and handed it to him.

"Here drink this, I'll make you a sandwich at the house to soak up whatever that dick gave you" he gave me a faint smile. He spilled a little of the water. He's probably dizzy.

Once we arrived I carried Justin bridal style. "you want us to take care of you? or should I just drive you home"

"y-you" he slurred. I nodded and carried him yo the stairs. His head was close to my chest, he was small and light which is probably why he was targeted. I looked at his face. His eyes were a hazel brown. He tried to look into my eyes but was constantly fluttering them. I looked down at his pink lips.

Why would someone try to hurt you?

I laid Justin on my bed and went to the kitchen. Once I made him a sandwich I came to my room.

"N-no please" he slurred.

"Justin it's me, look" I handed him a sandwich. "This should help you get orientated. I'll give you some time okay? Call me if anything" I also handed him a water.

He nods trying to bite the sandwich.

I fluttered my eyes open. I didn't notice I fell asleep on the couch. I groaned sitting up. I went to check on Justin. He was sitting up looking through the window. He had taken his shirt off, I noticed bruising on his chest. Was that from last night?

"Good morning" I smiled faintly. Justin smiles softly looking at me.

"Good morning" he stretches. "Thank you so much for um last night. I was really in a tuff spot, how could I ever repay you"

"It was really nothing. I'm actually a rape baby..I know you can't get pregnant but for someone to try to violate you like that is sick and I wouldn't want anyone to go through that you know?"

"You are?" He asked.

"Yeah, my mom couldn't handle looking at me cause it caused her a lot of pain...I grew up in foster care. I try my hardest to prevent shit like this happening to anyone else"

"Well thank you..I'm sorry I must've forgotten your name"

"Jason" I replied.

"You're my hero Jason thank you" he smiles, it slowly fades as he turns back to the window. "You ever get sad Jason?"

"sometimes, i try to keep myself busy so I don't notice"

"I do too, usually with partying...look how that turned out" he faked a smile. He was holding back his tears.

"Hey Justin are you ok?" I asked

"I-I'm trying to b-be" he made a fist. "I'm really really trying to be" a tear rolled down his face.  "It's hard jason...it's hard being alive sometimes"

"I get it. sometimes I don't feel like I have a purpose." Justin sniffled his nose and took a deep breath. "Sometimes I want to go to sleep and never wake up, the only person I consider family his Alex. I never got adopted" I mumbled.

"But Alex keeps me going, you don't have any one close to you? To motivate you?"

"My family disowned me once they found out I was gay" he wiped the tears coming down his face. " I try to party to make friends, I try to find love in every guy that gives me attention thinking I'll meet my soulmate - I seek male validation so bad....so bad it almost got me raped last night" he cries.

I come to sit next to him. "Hey hey hey" I pulled him into my embrace. " don't cry" I try to comfort him.

"I don't wanna be alive anymore Jason" he mumbles.

"Justin...I know I don't know you to well but.. I know me going to that party to help you was to save you. To save you from all the fucked up shit that could've happened after. I'm sorry ok? I'm sorry people don't value you as a person but as a sex symbol. I'm sorry you don't see how truly beautiful you are. Justin one day you will meet your soulmate, the lights will flash bright because god knows that you deserve someone to cherish and love you ok?" Justin pulls away from my chest.

My eyes widen of the flashes of light around Justin.

"J-Justin-"
