Dear journal,

Betrayal.

It's a bitter pill to swallow and a deadly bitch from hell who can pack a punch, especially when it comes to a closely-guarded secret that you wanted to keep to yourself and your inner circle of friends whom you could truly trust with all your heart.

And in my case, Ryan "Tainted-Golden-Boy" Peavey- the one jock whom I guessed was full of secrets and lies, was someone who was the man behind the biggest scandal that was currently the hot topic of the day at Pacifica Glades High as he released the one secret that I hoped never to be revealed. And I bet it was because I constantly rebuffed his advances and broke his heart after revealing my plans to never want him and only wanted Oliver.

I had a feeling that Jillian Kendricks was right on the money about me facing the consequences of attending that party after the football game. And I bet that the outcome would've been the same if I didn't end up going and stayed home like everyone in my circle suggested. In either case, I'm dealing with this hot mess right now and yet I knew that I would have to face the crtiticizing stares and harsh gazes from my classmates as the coup de grace has me fallen from grace.

And Ryan Peavey and Theo Blake (the Goth punk who was the male version of my late mother) were to blame.

"I can't believe that Peavey and Blake had the balls to reveal that you were a love child to the whole school," Gianna spat angrily as she, Jose, Oliver, my foster family, and the McGillivray/Sullivan clan were holding camp after I was swiftly released from school for the rest of the week (courtesy of the Callaways). "This shit right here makes me want to go to their houses and knock some  sense into their asses."

"You're not the only one," Holly replied as her mom served lemonade and sandwiches to everyone, me being given extra servings just as her boyfriend, Serenity, and Epiphany arrived with pastries from the coffee shop. "I just heard that Ryan's dad raced over to the school and landed punches upon his own son when he found out. Mr. Blake and his fiance did the same to Theo, the main shit-starter of the gang."

"Well, it's what they deserved," Derrick agreed, "and I just heard from Moseley that Ryan's off the football team effective immediately and is suspended for a month. Coach Wilborn was pissed off at him as was everyone else there."

"What about Jillian?" Serenity wanted to know, accepting a cup of lemonade.

"Damned if I know and double-damned if I want to care," I couldn't help but reply, "but she was with me during break and being under watch by Vice-Principal Callaway, so I guess she's not on the hate-list for today. Then again, she might as well be after her crazy suggestion to keep her godbrother off my back."

"What did she say this time?" Javi asked in exasperation. "This ought to be good."

I took a deep breath. "She warned me that neither Theo nor Ryan would stop from getting what they want- the former wanting me dead while Ryan just wants me for himself. And she was afraid that things might go out of hand, so she suggested that I date Ryan and Oliver."

"WHAT?" Epiphany screeched.

"Is that bitch losing her mind?!" Serenity bellowed, her manicured fists clenched tight

Derrick scoffed. "Bro, tell me that you're not giving this suggestion some thought," he said to me.

I shot him a glare. "Of course not," I replied hotly. "I told her no and reminded her that Oliver is thee ONLY one that I want to be with."

"Thank God," Oliver breathed, running his fingers through my hair. "I'd never forgive you if you accepted her idea."

"I'd never forgive myself," I told him gently. "I can only imagine how things might play out for the moment now that my skeletons poured out of the closet."

Joel and Taylor, who had been on their phones since I had gotten home, finally hung up and came over to me. "Demario, I assure you that you're going to be okay," Taylor said, his eyes full of fatherly love. "Joel and I talked things over with the school superintendent and the board of education, and they're going to have a school-wide meeting with the students and parents so things like this won't be happening again. Mr. Callaway said that you're to come back to school next week and you'll take your midterms privately when you do."

"Talk about a storyline straight out of Scandal," Noreen said dourly. To me, "Oliver, you're one strong trooper for dealing with all of this."

I huffed a deep breath, taking a sip of lemonade. "Right now, I don't feel like it. But it's nice to know that I'm at least trying to get back on track. I'm still going to move forward with my plans for finish my symphony just in time for the concert. Despite Theo's bullshit and everything, I'm not going to be denied my livelihood any longer. My ex-biological family did that for far too long and I suffered for it. It's time to regain it back."

"That's the spirit," Judge McGillivray, who had remained quiet until now, commented and granting me a small grin before she stood to leave. "I better head back to the courthouse and to some cases, but make sure to focus on your priorities and be kind to yourself."

She made her way out of the house with her brother-in-law and niece following suit alongside my foster brothers and my friends (who decided to head back to class), Joel and Taylor (who headed back to their law firm), and Noreen (who promised to cook up a special dinner), leaving me with Oliver as the house was currently silent.

"Babe, are you sure that you're okay?" my boyfriend asked me gently as I finished my plate of food, my mind still lost in a whirlwind of chaos.

I faced his concern stare, my heart heavy. "To be real, I don't know how to feel at the moment other than the sting of betrayal by one jackass of a jock," I replied, sighing heavily. "If anything, I'm pissed off at him for betraying his parents' trust. Right now, I want to forget that this ever happened and-"

I felt Oliver's lips brand against mine, the taste of cherry-flavored Chapstick and lemonade catching me off-guard as I let him deepen the kiss before pulling me into his arms. He broke away, leaving me speechless. "Is that enough?" he asked, eyes dialated in lust.

I nodded, not being able to say anything.

A/N: Play the song in the header NOW!

"Demario, what I'm thinking right now is a bit brash and maybe reckless. But right now, all I can see is someone who needs a hell of a distraction," Oliver said, voice dangerously low as he pulled me to my feet. "And since we have the house to ourselves for at least three hours, I think now's a good time to finally be like Justin and Brian from Queer as Folk and be reckless. We've played nice for a good while, so I think it's only fair that we'd get to be naughty once in a while."

My eyes went wide as I finally found my voice. "Oliver, are you saying that-" I began.

He nodded as he took my hand and led me upstairs to my room, shutting the door behind us and locking it. "Yeah," he breathed. "I want us to make love to each other and forget everything about the drama."

We slowly took off each others' clothes, sneaking in kisses and love bites upon our bare skin and adoring each others' now-nude bodies before making our way towards my bed as Oliver turned on the stereo and blared my favorite Pandora station through my cell-phone.

I gulped on how endowed he was, knowing that he was post-op transgender and fully all-man. "Like what you see?" Oliver teased me, smirking as he climbed on top of me before placing butterfly kisses on my neck.

"Oliver," I whimpered as I felt his hands caress my ass cheeks before letting him straddle on top of me.

"I may be a transgender freak in my late family and McNeese's eyes, but I bet that you wished that Ryan could be as lucky as I am right now to have you all to myself," Oliver said as he pulled out a condom and a bottle of lube from his jeans pocket before sheathing himself. "Now I want you to relax and let yourself enjoy this moment of unfiltered passions and wicked desires, Demario. You had a rough morning on your hands thanks to those bastards named Peavey and Blake, but I want to make sure that the only thing you'll be wanting is my cock inside you as I want to own you- body and soul."

I whimpered as I felt his fingers glide against my hole. "Please fuck me, Oliver Slade," I breathed, wincing as his wet fingers breached through my tight rosebud. "Make love to me and take me beyond the stars of the universe."

"With pleasure."

And for the next two hours, Oliver made good on his promise as he and I fucked each other senseless- chanting each other's names as we did several positions with a couple that I thought were illegal in all of Texas.

Ryan Peavey and Theo Blake, eat your hearts out!

Intrigued? I bet you are right now after reading this chapter, especially after this sexy moment between Oliver and Demario! And I didn't go into too much detail, even though I really wanted to- I won't even lie to y'all when I say that I wanted to pull off the whole she-bang with the smutty and explicit goodness that I had in mind. But after last year's faux-pas that got my old account closed, I decided to keep things low-key and in the fade-to-black moment.

Anyway, Jillian's on the warpath and is ready to set two certain fools straight! And I give you fair warning, folks! She'll pull off a game-changing move that'll officially place the deck in Demario's favor!
