Chapter 5
Virgo

SCENE A

Nick rolled over on his bed to find it was empty. Sleepily, he opened his eyes to see that Ky was not there.

"Wow," Anthony said causing him to jump. "Looks like Ky is the hit-it and quit-it type of dude."

Nick threw a pillow at his brother and pouted angrily. "I know I'm probably having a bitch moment here, but tell me that I was not the opposite end of a one-night stand."

"Sorry, bro, but you got played," Anthony said walking out of the room. Nick growled in frustration.

He dialed Ky's cell number and it rang once and then went to voicemail. After a few more times, Nick got out of bed and realized that for once … he got the best fuck in his life and got fucked over … all in the same night.

SCENE B

I felt a heavy body on top of me. Suffocating me and restricting my movement.

"No ... please…" I said softly. "Please stop…"

"Why baby?" The husky voice said in my ear. "You were telling me how much you want to feel me inside of you. You know you want it, Coy. Just as much as I want you."

"No … No … I don't," I said, pushing him off me and making a move to get off the bed.

"You're not going anywhere," he said, yanking me back. As big as he was, the force of the pull slung me hard. "Not till I get what I want…"  He pinned me down with one arm while unzipping my pants with his other.

"Looks tasty," he said as he took me into his mouth…

My eyes shot open and I breathed heavily. 'It was just…' I said to myself. 'It wasn't real.'

But I felt restricted still. Like I couldn't move. I realized that a heavy body was lying on top of me.

"No!" I screamed out alerting the person on top of me; scaring him … her … whomever.

"What's wrong?"

"Matt?" I asked, confused as he, likewise, looked at me with a confused, sleepy look.

"Yea, what's wrong?" he asked, concerned. "You scared the shit out of me."

"I'm sorry," I said with a embarrassed smile. "Just … Just a bad dream; that's all."

"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked. "You look like you just saw a ghost."

I nodded slowly at him. "I'm fine," I replied. I kissed him on the cheek. "And just to show my sexy boyfriend how much I love calling him my boyfriend, I'm gonna make breakfast."

"That be sweet, man," he said grabbing me into a hug. I had to fight the urge to push him off of me.

"Okay," I said as we broke apart. "Just continue to lie here and I'll bring your breakfast up to you."

"Thanks, babe," he said with a yawn, lying back on the bed. I watched him for a few seconds as he drifted back off to sleep.

I smiled as he crinkled his face up. I just felt safe with him. I really liked this boy and I was willing to do my best to keep him.

His phone vibrated on my desk. I reached over and grabbed it and saw a text from Giselle.

'Should I? Or shouldn't I?' I thought to myself. I sighed and shook my head.

I didn't want to start my relationship off not trusting him so I put the phone back on the desk and went downstairs to begin breakfast.

SCENE E

Josh walked nervously inside the Community Center Building. He realized that if he was ever going to try to understand his best friend … and even his enemies … he would have to take the first step to learn more.

"Um … Hi…" he said nervously to the receptionist. She smiled warmly at him.

"Hello, Hon," she said. "What can I help you with?"

"Yes … I'm, uh, looking for the … the um…" Josh couldn't bring himself to say it.

"You must be looking for the Rainbow Meeting," she said, causing Josh to gasp.

"How did you know that?" he asked, shocked.

She laughed at Josh's surprise. "Because, you are here at 11am on a Saturday," she replied. "There are only two meetings going on here on Saturdays. The Weight Fighters class and Rainbow Meetings, and seeing how you're a very … buff young man, I doubt it's for Weight Fighters. So you've got to be here for Rainbow."

"Oh," Josh said simply.

She stood up from the desk and came around to Josh's side. "It's a shame that you're gay," she said as they begin walking down the corridors of the first floor. "We could have some fun."

"Oh, I'm not gay," Josh said in his best macho voice. She rolled her eyes.

"It's okay, hon," she countered as they came to the door. "I love gays. My brother's gay, and if I can't get with you, then I certainly am going to hook the two of you up together."

"But I have a…" Josh began as she pulled him into the room behind her. A bunch of guys squealed in delight at the sight of Josh causing him to blush. "…girlfriend."

He smiled uncomfortably as the girl pulled him up to the podium. "Hey, bro," she said to a guy with his back turned.

The guy turned to face Josh and the girl and gave them both warm smiles. "Hey, sis; what's up?" he asked as he looked at Josh. "Is this cutie a friend of yours, Kristen?"

"Nope," she said with a proud smile. "Jack, meet … I didn't get your name."

"Josh," he said sticking his hand out. "Josh Jackson."

"Ah, Josh and Jack," Kristen squealed delightedly. "It has such a ring to it. I'll leave you two alone. Come get me when the meeting's finished. Remember … condoms are a must-use."

"Oh, God," Josh said, putting his hand to his face from embarrassment.

Jack looked at him with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry," Jack said. "Ever since I came out, Kristen has become the biggest fan of my being gay and tends to embarrass me a lot."

Josh just nodded uncomfortably at Jack who gave him an amused look.

"Calm down; we aren't going to hurt you," he said patting Josh on the back. "So … when did you discover you were … you know?"

"Huh?" Josh asked confused and then realized what Jack meant. "Oh! When did I discover I was a Homo … sexual. Homosexual, I mean."

Jack gave him a sideways glance.

"I've been gay since I could remember," Josh blurted out. "Since I could walk, I realized I was gay. I can take two dicks at one time."

Jack and the rest of the meeting looked at him speechless. "Um, yeah, let's get on with the meeting," Jack said, still a little shocked by Josh's confession.

'Wow, this is going to be easier than I thought,' Josh thought to himself as he took a seat.

SCENE F

"Being here will get me in trouble," Carmen said to Anthony as they sat in Starbucks. "Don't you think you've caused enough problems already without trying to pull me into your list of people to scorn?"

"Why did you come if all you want to do is pretty much tell me how much of a fuck-up I am?" Anthony asked her angrily. "Don't you think I already know that?"

Carmen looked at Anthony intently. "Because I want to understand you," she said to him softly. "I mean, you have this bad-ass reputation floating around about you and you brother. I want to know why you do the things you do? Why are you the way you are?"

"Because I never had somebody like Coy actually make me want to try to be different," Anthony said looking down at his cappuccino. "I mean … he's a great person. He has so much and has such a great future, but he's humble as if he has nothing at all."

"Yeah, that sounds like Coy," she said with a proud smile.

Carmen always admired that about me.

"Ya know … I always knew him as Ky's weird twin brother, but never by his name until recently," Anthony continued. "You see Ky and you see cocky … arrogant … manwhore … not that bright … but Coy is…"

"Coy is Coy," she said for him. "He tries so hard to be confident like Ky but he'll never be like Ky. As much as I love Ky like a brother, Coy is the stronger of the two, and without Coy, Ky would crumble because he needs Coy's compassion and drive to enable him to do the things he does. Coy just doesn't realize his true potential."

"He wasn't afraid of me," Anthony said after a moment of silence. "He wasn't afraid of me when he discovered who I was. And I tried … I tried to corrupt him."

"Yeah, I know," Carmen said to him and rested her hand on his. "But I think you saw how strong he really is when he resisted temptation to become completely like you. No offense."

"Some taken," Anthony said with a smile. "But I don't know. I just want to make things right with him. Can you help me?"

Carmen sighed to herself. "Damn me for being such a compassionate person," she said to him. "Fine, I'll help you. But I'm helping you fix your friendship. Not helping you to get into his pants."

"Trust me," Anthony said kissing his biceps. "I don't need any help in that department."

SCENE G

Ky zipped his jeans and put on his shirt and was about to walk out of Nick's room without saying good-bye.

"So we can be friends and chill and talk, but once we start fucking, communications goes out the window?" Nick asked, bitterly.

"You make it sound like we're dating or something," Ky said with a sigh as he turned to face Nick. "It's just sex."

"Yes, I know that," Nick said getting out of bed. "Really, really good sex, but I'm not the guy who just sits around and gets fucked, and then you just leave like nothing happened."

"What do you want from me?" Ky asked. "What? You want me to date you or something?"

Nick hesitated, which Ky noticed. "I didn't say that," he replied softly.

Ky chuckled to himself. "But you were thinking it," he said, folding his arms. "Look, you're a friend … and a great fuck … but I'm not looking for a boyfriend. I'm just looking for stress relief. That's all."

"So I'm just a relief for you?" Nick asked angrily. "You want me when you want me, but when you don't, you don't?"

Ky shrugged. "Pretty much," he replied. "Is that all?"

"What happened to you man?" He asked, hurt. "I mean, this isn't you. You're being…"
"Like you?" Ky asked with an amused look. "Yeah, that's what happens when you realize that you are tired of being untrue and reality kicks in and tells you that you might as well give into temptation."

"Well, I'm not some object for you to use," Nick said to him. "I can't do this anymore."

Ky shrugged. "Fine," he said simply. "You forget, I can fuck, and there are plenty of guys looking for no more than that. See you at practice."

Ky left Nick sitting there speechless.

"Wow," Nick said to himself.

SCENE H

"HEY, BIRTHDAY BOY!" Giselle yelled, throwing her arms around me in a big hug.

"Hey, Giselle," I said, forcing a smile. "What are you doing here?"

"Your party, remember?" she said with a chuckle. "I swear, you are starting to become dumb like Ky."

"Wouldn't want that, now would we?" I asked sarcastically.

She looked around my backyard. "Where is my baby, Matt, hiding? I know he's gotta be around here somewhere," she said scanning around. "You two are like … inseparable."

"Your baby?" I asked with a confused look. "I thought you two broke up."

"Well, we did, but of course we're gonna get back together like we always do," she said with a happy look. "It's the story of our lives. Whatever bitch he is trying to get with, he is probably just trying to fuck. I don't blame him though. I mean, I'm all for love but sex does get boring. Sometimes you have to keep it fresh. So get new people. But he'll be back."

I looked at her as I was getting more and more annoyed by the second. Then a thought popped into my head. "Hey, Giselle; Matt's upstairs in my room getting changed. But do ya mind if I use your cell for a sec? Mine's 'way upstairs, and I don't feel like having to run all the way up to get it."

"Sure," she said handing me the phone. "I'll bring it down for you. Don't be surprised if I come back with messy hair and a torn shirt."

"All right," I said with a tight smile.

I waited till she disappeared inside and opened her sidekick to check her recent calls. They were all to and from Matt within the past six hours. I checked her text messages and shook my head in disgust at the messages.

"Wow," I said closing the phone. "Wow."

SCENE I

Matt gelled his hair up. He wanted to look his best because this would be the first time he would meet his boyfriend's parents. Although, they weren't coming out, he still wanted to make a good impression as his best friend.

"Goddamn, I'm sexy," he said to his reflection, flashing a smile.

"Yes, you are," Giselle said from the doorway. He turned to face her and then blushed when he realized that he was still wet in his towel.

"Um … Gi… Giselle," he stammered as he scanned the room looking for a shirt. He grabbed one of my Abercrombie shirts and threw it on.

"Wow, Coy's shirts definitely make those muscles pop," she said with a laugh as she rubbed her hands up and down his arm.

"Giselle ... what are you doing here?" he asked stepping back, falling on the bed.

"Here for the party," she said as she climbed on top of him. "The party favors begin here."

She bent down to kiss him but he turned his head. "Giselle, come on; stop," he said to her. "We aren't together."

"When has that ever stopped us?" she asked and she ground into his crotch. "Girlfriend or not, you always want me."

Matt tried to will it not to happen but he felt himself getting hard. It was hormones. After all, he was a sixteen-year-old boy.

"Now, stop talking and fuck me," she said as she kissed him.

"Get the fuck off me," he yelled, tossing her off. She rolled off the bed just as I walked into the room.

"What the hell is your problem, Matt?" she asked him angrily. He looked at me and smiled.

"Because … I want to have sex with somebody that I love," He said to her softly.

"You love me, though," she said, tearing up. "That's what you told me."

"I meant it," he said, grabbing her hand. "I do love you and I always will. I'm just not in love with you."

She pulled her hand away and slapped him in the face. "Asshole," she said as she stormed out. I handed her the phone and I walked in and closed the door.

"Ya know I was about to break up with you?" I asked him, sitting on the bed. "I read her text messages and it bothered me that you still wanted to be friends with her even after you broke up."

"Coy," he said grabbing my hand. "I want to be friends with her because … besides her many flaws, she is a terrific friend and has been there for me at the darkest of times. That's it. Trust me when I say, you're the one I've been waiting for."

"Really?" I asked him. He nodded. "Did you mean what you told Giselle? About the sex…"

"Yes, sir," he said grabbing me up into a hug. "I think I beginning to fall in love with you, and the next time I want to have sex I want it to be with you … and I want my first 'guy' experience to be perfect."

I sat there in his embrace until I remembered the party. "Well, I'm glad that you said that," I said to him as I got up and headed to the door. "I don't plan on having sex for awhile. Probably not till I'm married."

"Wait …What?" Matt asked, running after me, his damp towel dropping to the floor. "You're joking, right?"

SCENE J

"I say I outdid myself," Carmen said as we sat inside the pool. "I really should look into being a party planner in my near future."

I rolled my eyes and splashed her with a puddle. "It is a great party," I said to her. "Everybody seems to be having fun. I just…"

"I know," she said with a sympathetic smile. "He'll show."

"I just wouldn't have thought that Ky was gay," I said shaking my head. "He was just so … disgusted."

"Just give him some time to work things out in his mind," she said to him. "He can't adapt to his situation as quickly as you did."

'I'm still adapting,' I said to myself.

"Well, till Ky comes around, I got a surprise for you," she said jumping out of the pool. "I hope it's a good one, though, because I know you hate surprises."

"True," I said with a laugh. "Ooh! Is it money?"

"Yeah, because you don't have enough of that already?" she asked me with a scoff. "No, it's not money."

"Then I can tell this is going to be a bad surprise," I joked and laughed when she pinched me.

"There is your surprise," she said pointing at Anthony who was sitting on my back porch.

"Surprise?" I asked her with a half-smile, half-frown. "Wow, that's a mild disappointment."

"Coy…" she warned and I rolled my eyes. "Just talk to him and hear him out."

"On one condition," I said with a smile. "Promise me that you got me a better gift."

"I can't make any promises," she said, pushing me towards Anthony. "Now go kiss and make-up."

I sighed and walked over to him and took a seat beside him. "Hi," I said with a bit of an attitude.

"Hey," he said softly. "Coy … I … just wanted to say…"

"I know," I said cutting him off. "I'm not mad about that. I'm just mad that you caused trouble with my friends and brother. I knew you were a bit of a hot head, but I just didn't expect to be at the brunt end of it."

"Sorry," he said. "I just want things to go back to how they were when we talked at lunch and hung out. I felt really connected to you, then."

"Same here," I said with a smile. "But you have to know that the things that you are about … stealing … fighting … not paying for food … which is almost like stealing … that's not what I'm about."

"I understand," he said sticking his hand out. "Can we just forgive and forget this all happened?"

"Yeah," I said shaking his hand and then pulled him into a hug. "Thank you."

"For what?" he asked, confused and taken aback by the hug and comment I'd offered.

"Because if it weren't for you … I don't think I would've realized that I was fine being Coy," I said with a smile. "If it weren't for hanging out with you, then I think I'd still be questioning my own identity. But now … I want to show you that there is more to Anthony than havoc and destruction."

Anthony blushed. "You're incredible, ya know that?" he asked, and I smiled at him.

"And mine," A voice said behind us. I turned to see Matt standing there.

"Look, man; I didn't come to start anything," Anthony said, standing up.

"Then why bother coming in the first place?" Matt asked him. "He doesn't want you here."

"MATT!" I scolded. "We just squashed everything. I don't have any issues with him. Neither should you."

"He almost got you killed," Matt said, exasperated. "Yet, it's okay for you to be friends with him?"

"Yes," I said softly, trying to calm him down. "Everybody deserves a second chance. He's got his already."

Anthony looked at both of us and it dawned on him.

"You two are a couple?" he asked, a little crushed. I looked at him, and then at Matt, who had a smug look on his face.

"Yes, but we just started going out," I said, sorry because I could tell he was hurt. Matt stepped down off the porch.

"But we don't plan on breaking up anytime soon," he said, throwing his arm over my shoulder in a brotherly way, but I knew it meant more.

I looked at Matt with a confused look. He was being overprotective of me for some reason.

"It's cool," Anthony said, his face stiffening up to the usual hard face I saw regularly. "I just wanted to give you this." He handed me a gift wrapped in blue paper and then turned to walk off.

I was about to call out to him, but Josh ran up to me. "Matt, give us a second, man," he said out of breath. Matt nodded and took off after Anthony.

"I think maybe…"

"Wait a second," he said to me. "I just wanted to tell you that I understand you now. It's okay."

"What's okay?" I asked him confused. He looked around to see if we could be overheard.

"That you're gay," he confided. "I went to this meeting place for the gay community here in Atlantic City, and I just was so educated. I feel enlightened."

"Did they convert you?" I joked and he gave me a dark look.

"That's not funny," he said to me. "Strictly pussy, here, but I did pretend to be gay so they would accept me because most of them hated straight people like straights hate gays."

"That would explain why you have eyeliner," I said pointing at his eyes. He punched me in the shoulder. "OW! Hello … You're freaking Hercules, and I'm like half the size of your arm."

"Speaking of which, I got you a great birthday gift," he said. "A membership at Gold's gym?"

"Josh … I don't think so," I said to him. "Working out with you is like selling my soul to the devil? Remember when we tried that back in middle school and I passed out from exhaustion?"

"That's because you wouldn't drink water," he clarified. "You wanted to drink soda instead, and you got dehydrated."

"Fine, but thanks for the gift; but I don't know if…"

"They have a smoothie bar," he intervened.

"Fine, I'll come," I said with a mischievous grin. "Just for the smoothies … Till then …" I punched him in the balls and took off running.

"OH, YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!" Josh wheezed, taking off after me, wincing in pain.

SCENE K

"Just stay the hell away from him," Matt said to Anthony as they stood outside my party.

"What are you worried about, Matty G?" Anthony taunted. "Afraid that he might not be as into you as you think?"

"Because you tried to corrupt him once, and I don't want that to happen again," Matt said, frustrated. "If I have to beat your ass for you to get the point across, then, fine, I will."

"Trust me, I would love to fight you," Anthony said with a sneer. "But that would hurt Coy because, like it or not, we're friends. And as much as I hate to admit it, you two are together. We need to find some common ground."

"We got common ground," Matt said walking back towards the party. "We hate each other. But I will make this clear. If you so much as try to make him do anything against his will, I will fucking kill you."

"Deal," Anthony said, and with that, the two of them walked away from each other. "Oh … Matt…"

"What?" Matt asked without turning around.

"Don't be surprised if you lose him," Anthony said with a knowing smile.

Quickly turning around, Matt asked, "Why would I lose him?"

"Let's just say, I know how big a hypocrite you are," Anthony said. "I might have a reputation, but trust me … You're no angel, either. So when the time is right … Well, Coy might not think you're so good."

Anthony turned and headed to his car leaving Matt standing there with his thoughts.

SCENE L

Ky walked into the backyard to see Carmen, Josh, Matt, and me all sitting around the pool.

"Hey guys," he said without looking at us. "How was the party?"

"You'd know if you'd been here," I said angrily as I got out of the pool. "This was OUR birthday. I've never celebrated a birthday without you and you just … didn't show up."

"Coy, I just got a lot of shit on my mind," he said, voice devoid of emotion. "You don't understand."

"I do understand, Ky," I said to him. "Trust me, I do. I know if I had the choice to be straight that I would gladly choose it. But I can't will myself to be straight. And the more I think about it, I'm happy being gay."

"But I'm not," Ky said angrily. "I'm not happy being this way."

"Why not?" Carmen asked as she walked over to us two. "What's wrong with being gay?"

"Because … it's not right," Ky quietly said to himself more than to us.

"Who says it's not right?" Josh asked as he and Matt also Joined us. "Society?"

"Not just society," Ky said tearfully. "But the Bible…'

"Not to sound blasphemous," I said to him, "but the Bible talked about a man who talked to a burning bush that told him what to do. I'm not too big on following something that I don't know is a hundred percent."

"Ky, stop trying to find excuses to fight it," Matt said to him. "Out of all of us, I understand you the most. Because I was conditioned to think a certain way … to feel a certain way. But how I feel about your brother … it feels right."

Josh flashed Carmen an Oh-my-god look and she shushed him and whispered that she'd talk with him later.

"Ky …" Josh said, clearing his throat. "I spent the day with some gay guys who had a rough transition period of coming out, and the aftermath they had to go through. They didn't have a support system behind them. But you do … You got me."

"Me, too," Carmen and Matt chimed in together, and I grabbed Ky's hand.

"You never lost me," I said to him as I started crying. "We're twins. You spent so much time trying to help me … protect me. It's my turn to help and protect you."

"Oh, God," Ky said as he trembled in my arms, crying. "I'm so sorry."

"Don't be," I said rubbing his back. Josh, Carmen, and Matt all joined into the hug. We just stood there for a while, hugging each other.

"Okay, this mushiness is too gay for me," Ky said with a small laugh as he pushed away.

"Thank God, somebody said it," Josh said with a sigh of relief.

"I didn't want to ruin the moment," Matt said, and Carmen and I rolled our eyes.

"Men!" she said to me. "They can't even express themselves without feeling like girls."

"What am I?" I asked her curiously.

"Um … you're so much more than a man," she said with a hug. "You're an angel."

"Guys, can we spend the rest of the night hanging with each other?" Ky asked sadly. "I know I missed most of the party."

"The party doesn't stop till I say so," I said, punching my brother sixteen times. "And here's one for good luck."

"Wait a second," Matt said after a thought came to him. "I never gave you your birthday punches."

Carmen and Josh shared their agreement. The Four of them circled around me.

"Guys, come on," I said. "This isn't funny."

SCENE M

Nick smiled at Giselle as they sat in Fat Andy's restaurant. He had come there to clear his head when Ky had left him and ran into her. They had been in the same both for nearly three hours.

"God, I can't believe we have so much in common," she said to him as she finished her milkshake.

"I can't believe that Pretty Girl Giselle is an expert at Guitar Hero," he said with a laugh.

"I'm an expert at a lot of things," she said with a wink.

They laughed for awhile at that. After a few minutes of flirting, Nick left a tip and the two walked outside the restaurant.

"I've had a lot of fun with you," Nick said as they stood on the boardwalk.

"Same here," she said, looking him in the eyes. She knew in her mind that she wasn't attracted to Nick like that … Kind of got a gay vibe from him, actually, but wasn't sure if it was just because he was a pretty boy. But she was lonely and when Giselle got lonely … she got company.

Nick was lost in his thoughts about Ky and how he was really bothered about how much he liked KY that he didn't notice when Giselle even kissed him. Mind still on Ky, he kissed her back passionately.

"Wow," Carmen said as we walked up towards the two, shocking the both of them.

"She moves fast," Josh said to Matt and me.

"Because she's a bit of a hoe," I replied back to him.

"Hey, guys," Giselle said with a cheerful smile while Nick looked Ky in the eye. Ky looked at him angrily. "Happy Birthday Coy & Ky."

"Thanks," we both said with a little bit of contempt.

"I got you guys a hundred dollars a piece," she said, taking two hundred dollars out of her purse.

"Thanks," I said taking it from her; however, Ky flashed her a look.

"I don't need your money," he said rudely, shocking us all.

"Sure, you don't need the money," I said snatching it from his hand. "But that doesn't mean I can't use it."

"Well, can we continue our field trip along the beach?" Matt asked trying to continue the time he was enjoying with his boyfriend.

"Yeah, come on," I said leading the group on. "Thanks for the money, Giselle." Hey even if she was making moves on my boyfriend, money talks … I kind of forgive her now.

Ky, however, stayed back behind us with Giselle and Nick.

"I should get going, too," she said to Nick, kissing him on the cheek. "Catch you later, cuties." She walked past them and back toward her car.

"Ky, it wasn't what it looked like," Nick began to him. "She kissed me first."

"You had no problem forcing your tongue down her throat, though," He said bitterly.

"I was thinking of you and she just planted it on me and I … I was just lost in the moment," Nick said desperately. "I am NOT interested in Giselle."

"Whatever," Ky said forcefully.

"Why do you care, anyway?" Nick challenged. "You don't want to be with me."

"You're right, I don't," Ky lied. "You were just a fuck."

"You know that is not true," Nick said, not entirely sure if he was hoping that Ky was bluffing.

"Look, I gotta go," Ky said to him. "I don't feel like dealing with this."

"What is this?" Nick asked confused. "All I see is a guy who is afraid of committing to me."

"I'm not afraid of committing to you," Ky said softly. "I just don't want to. You're good for a fuck. But as a boyfriend? I doubt it."

Ky walked off leaving Nick shocked by that statement. If there was one thing about Nick Pagan … he always got what he wanted. Which meant … he was going to have to play dirty. 

The End

(of Halo)

AUTHOR'S NOTE

This is the end of Halo … so to speak. The reason I called it, Halo, is because … more or less … the main characters, Coy and Matt, were happy in the end. I had an idea of making Seasons kind of within the story. Halo was more or less happy and upbeat for the most part. Even with every tense situation, the main characters, for the most part, more or less ended in a good level. Coy and Matt are together in their relationship. Carmen and Josh have a good relationship. Ky, while denying his attraction to Nick, is coming to terms with his own issues concerning his being gay. Anthony even got closure with Coy. However, Giselle and Nick both have their agendas that are not completely clear in the end.

Join me in Halo - Season 2, entitled "Angels & Monsters" where Coy is forced to finally confront his fears, while Matt proves to be a lot more complex than Coy initially expected. Ky embarks on a self-discovery journey of himself while harboring a Love-Hate relationship with Nick. Anthony sets out to make a difference with his life. Carmen and Josh soon realize the honeymoon is over, while Giselle reveals how vindictive she can really be as we follow them on through their college years.

That will be where Paradise is lost and Hell is found…
