First of all, thanks for all the feedback I’ve been getting, this is the second chapter of “Rolling in the deep” and it takes place three months after the events of the first chapter, Danny and Alex are now together, you may remember part of this chapter as the introduction of the first chapter. If you haven’t read the first chapter then you probably should because it contains little things details which will be important later on. Again I would be really grateful for any feedback or suggestions. Enjoy and remember this is all fiction!

The past three months since that night at Alex’s house had been amazing. It was like a dream come true. We spent a lot of our time together and when I wasn’t with him I was thinking of him, and when it came to saying goodbye and I was looking forward to when I would see him next. My life was perfect. Slowly but surely it started to spread around the school that ultra popular, sports legend Alex Johnson had a boyfriend, people were pretty cool about the whole thing actually. We were able to go places together and do the things normal couples do, we held hands, kissed in public, things were great. So we decided it was time to make things official, it was time to tell our parents.

I’m not openly gay to my parents and I don’t act any different than a normal guy so they would have no reason to expect anything. We decided to tell his parents first and then mine, I was nervous and thought if we got a good reaction from his parents then that would give me some confidence to sit down with the man and woman who raised me and tell them something which would change all our lives forever. My mum and dad weren’t homophobic or anything, but they always said things like “Someday you’ll be happily married to a nice woman with kids of your own” and the only thing that was worse than that was when dad tried to talk about women, Oh God if only he knew I would rather be sitting with mum talking about guys that were to die for. It was a Friday and we were getting ready at my house because my parents were out and wouldn’t be home until later, they were out having dinner which would involve alcohol, I hoped they would come home a little drunk so the whole thing would be easier but not so drunk that they wouldn’t remember having the conversation the next day.

I was just out of the shower and dripping slightly, I threw a towel around my waste and dried my chest quickly before returning to my room to get dressed. Alex was sitting on my bed wearing nothing but boxers and jeans that were pulled up but not buttoned, his zip lay open providing great temptation, I could roughly see the outline of his bulge, then much to my disappointment he got up and continued getting dressed. We hadn’t actually done anything yet, like sex wise, we decided to wait until we were more serious which meant tonight could be the night. I could see Alex was nervous because he was sweating slightly and shaking so hard he couldn’t even button his jeans. I walked over to him still wearing nothing but my trusty towel, he was facing my mirror and looked up at the reflection when I put my hands on his shoulders and kissed the back of his neck gently. His eyes caught mine in the mirror and showed a mix of fear and love.


“Everything is going to be fine you know?” I tried to fake optimism in my voice but in reality I was just as scared as he was. I let go of him and went to find something to wear, I decided on some tight fitting underwear, blue jeans and a shirt which was smart but casual at the same time. I noticed Alex stealing glances at my body whilst getting dressed and I just looked up at him and shot him a smile. For the first time in nearly an hour he spoke. “I’m scared Dan, really scared, but no matter what happens tonight, I want us to be together”. “I know Alex, I want that too, everything’s going to go fine, we’ll just get it over with quickly”. We left my house at about nine, it was already dark and as we walked through the park the only light came from the full moon. The sky was black and billions of stars illuminated the night sky. Alex took my hand as we walked, the same way he always did. “This is it” he said as we approached the huge trees which enclosed his home.

I grabbed his waste and pulled him towards me, pressed my lips onto his cute little mouth. “For good luck” I giggled. As we walked up his driveway which seemed to go on forever, I could feel his grip tightening on my hand. I thought it was cute how nervous he was, I had never seen him like this before. It just made me want him even more badly. Alex opened the door and led me inside. Just like he had done the night of the party when this all started. I was more familiar with his house now, I had stayed a couple of times but we slept in separate beds because his mum and dad were always there. He led me through to the main living room where his parents were sitting waiting for us. They sat holding hands in front of the fire, why can’t that be us right now I thought. Alex and I sat down opposite them still hand in hand, I think that was Alex’s way he wasn’t ashamed of me and he wanted to show his parents we were serious. “Mum, dad, there’s something I really need to tell you, I’ve needed to get this off my chest for a while now and I would appreciate it if you would listen and not ask questions, Dan and I aren’t friends. Dan is…. well, he’s my boyfriend.

We’ve been together for three months and everyday I love him a little bit more than I did the day before. I think I’m in love”. There was silence in the room for what felt like eternity, the only sound was the fire burning and I could see the tears start to form in Alex’s eyes, now I was getting worried. Then, Mr and Mrs Johnson looked at one another and smiled. I had never felt so relieved. They beamed at us proudly and gently whispered the words which made my heart melt. “Welcome to the family Danny”. Danny’s mum looked like she had something on her mind, “You boys do know this is probably something a son should do on his own, I mean it was very risky bringing Danny here Alex, what would happen if we had said no?” Alex’s mum had a point, she had unsettled Alex and I. “Maybe I should tell my mum and dad alone” I said, “Whatever you think Dan, I’m with you all the way”. Alex walked me to the door and kissed me goodbye “I’ll be waiting here for you”. “I’ll be back soon” I said already excited to see him when I came back.

And with that I left and started the walk home, this time it was different, I was filled with excitement and happiness instead of fear, I looked forward to seeing my parents smile at me with new found pride and respect. After about twenty minutes of playing the scenario over and over inside my head I rounded the last corner before my house, the car was back and I could see the glow of lights from within the house so they were definitely home. I steadied myself before opening the front door, stepping inside and closing it firmly behind me. My parents were sat in the living room watching TV with a glass of wine as they normally did on Friday nights. I sat down and turned of the TV so I had their full attention.

They looked at me with fear in their eyes and asked me “What’s wrong Danny?” So I just told them, about how I have always been gay, but now I had my first boyfriend, a guy named Alex who loved me more each day and I told them about how much I loved him back. Then came the unbearable silence again, slowly the look gave way to a look of happiness and pride on my mother’s face, the same way it had done with Danny’s parents. This calmed me a little as I looked at my father, he sat with his hands on his lap and his head down. Then I seen I tear fall from his eye and land on his hand. For the first time my father was crying tears of joy. Only, they weren’t tears of joy, he looked up at me and I saw a side to my father I had never seen, his face was highlighted with anger, disappointment and hatred. “No” is all he could manage to say. “But dad” I started before I was cut off by the horrific sound of my father starting to raise his voice with each word. “I WILL NOT HAVE A FAGGOT FOR A SON, YOU’RE NOT GAY AND BY HELL IF YOU INSIST ON SEEING THIS ALEX THEN YOU WILL NOT BE WELCOME IN MY HOUSE!” My mother looked terrified now and I shared her fear.

The only words I could manage were “But I love him”. Tears started to run down my face quickly now and I thought of Alex celebrating with his parents waiting for me to come back, I wanted him to be here with me holding me and kissing me telling me everything would be ok, but he wasn’t here. Then suddenly, from out of nowhere I felt a sharp pain cut across my face before landing on the floor, what followed was a series of blows to the stomach and crotch. I felt something pull me to my feet by my neck and all I could see was the furious face of my father. He hit me on the face several times before dragging me to the front door of the home I grew up in and throwing me outside face first to the hard concrete. All I heard next before I passed out was the sound of the door slamming behind me and locking. Then I passed out.
