(((Did we just die? Tell me we didn't die. I'll be sad if we died.)))

((I think we've been beating a dead horse for a while here.))
Derrik relaxed some when he also glanced behind to see Annora asleep. "That is a secret, Nathan. I haven't told anyone but you. And I am not ready to tell anyone but you." Telling Nathan had been a large enough step. Was it shame? He did not want anyone to know what he did, what he enjoyed. He did not want it to change how the people he cared about looked at him. "Please try to understand. That isn't the person our friends know. I'd rather not know how they will react to a sudden introduction."

Nathan's face softened and he sighed almost unaudibly. He was relieved that that was all. Nathan squeezed his hand and kissed his cheek. "Baby, relax." He began rubbing his arm, chest, and stomach. "They won't care. It's a job. Infact, to most people in the house, It'll be like a really funny joke. Just relax, honey." Nathan scooted closer to him and wrapped his arms around his body, hugging him tightly. "They'll love you no matter what. They've already proved that." Nathan tilted his head back and kissed his jaw before scooting a bit away, to give him room to steer the vehicle.
(((I hate when rps die. Because, they can always be salvaged. It's really simple. If we get Ai to rp again, aswell as Lahren, and then put up an accepting notice and accept new friends, like change the story line a bit, we could totally salvage this!)))

"Have they? Annora turned on me just for pursuing you. John ran away from the responsibility of his own children. Several of our friends seem to disappear for days at a time with no real contact; we are not as close knit a group as we once were. How can they love me no matter what if they do not love me at all? I cannot take something like that for granted; I've never been able to just believe in other people so easily. I won't keep any secrets from you, but I have to be able to trust you to keep them from everyone else." Derrik tensed up just thinking about it, then forced himself to relax. He reached over and squeezed Nathan's knee. "You may be right, but I can't just assume you are. Alright?"

Nathan gave him a sad smile and laid his head on his chest. "You're right and I'm sorry. I'll try to be more careful next time." Nathan felt terrible, but not just because he had almost slipped up on a promise, but that Derrik was so angery with him. He squeezed Derrik on last time and then scooted away from him. He looked out the window. He didn't even try to hold his hand. Nathan just wanted to be off in his own little world. He could blame Derrik, he had every right to be angry. It didn't make Nathan mad because of that, he was actually sad. Angry at himself. Sad that he could possible hurt such a relationship with someone so important. Nathan's eyes watered a bit and he sniffled.

Derrik sighed softly. "I'm sorry. Please don't be upset." Derrik pulled over and stopped the car so he could face Nathan. "I'm sorry, Nathan. Please look at me." He reached out and gently touched Nathan's cheek and brushed his hair aside with fingertips. Why had he even said any of that? Did he just enjoy sabotaging his own relationship? Derrik kisses Nathan's shoulder and tries to pull him closer.

Nathan turned to Derrik and hugged him close. "I'm not made at you, I'm mad at myself." Tears dripped down his eyes. "It's just, when I'm upset, I cry. I don't know why, I just do. Especially when I'm mad at myself." Nathan sighed then gasped as if he were crying. "I'm so stupid! I almost let out your secret, not even my own secret! I'm so stupid! I should just go live under a rock in the middle of the woods so that no one could ever embrace how stupid I am!" Nathan cried into Derrik's chest.

"You are not stupid. You are open and trusting. You want to believe in our friends; how can that be stupid? That is how it is meant to be. I just can't do it, at least not yet." Derrik finds some Kleenex in his glove compartment and starts drying Nathan's face. "No harm done, alright? Now you know. And maybe I'll get over it and it won't matter any more. Some day; just not today. I never want to be the reason you cry, whether you are angry at me or yourself. I love you."

Annora laid in the back seat of the car, seeming asleep, she listened in on the conversation. Derrik's a stripper? She tried not to smirk at this idea. No wonder Nathan liked him so much. When Annora heard of Nathan and Derrik talking about John... She let just one single tear slip down her face. She took in a deep breath, but a quiet one as she rubbed her stomach. Soon she sat up and looked at the both of them. "Where are we going..." She yawned and rubbed her eyes as she leaned her head on the door.

Nathan smiled at Derrik. "I love you, too." He kissed him tenderly and then pulled back. Annora woke up a matter of seconds later and startled Nathan. "Uh, we're going to Mom and Dad's. We stopped because some yahoo almost ran us over and it scared me." Nathan said, giving an explination for his tears and for why Derrik was hugging him so close. Hopefully, his sister would buy it. She was smart, but this was a clever one on Nathan's part. He turned to Derrik. "Let's get going. Mom and Dad will get worried if we're late." Nathan said as he buckled his seat belt and held tightly to Derrik's hand.

[[Okay, I'm tryin here, so bear with me if this isn't great or whatever.]]
Mason walked into a large empty house that she had been calling home since the end of high school. She walked around the kitchen somewhat randomly, brushing her hands over the counters and cabinets. She felt that lately she had been taking for granted all the great things she had in her life. Great parents that wanted the world for her, amazing friends that had been like brothers and sisters since they were running around the Kindergarten playground, a great place to live with those friends, and a good education. Thinking about all these things made her want to talk to someone. She pulled out her old cell and scrolled through the numbers. She came upon Annora's first and pressed the call button.
[[Okay, cheesy, I know, but I'm back!]]

"Of course. Sorry if we woke you, Ana. We aren't that far now; we will arrive shortly." Derrik did not look directly at Annora. Even if he did think she had only just woken, the reminder that she was lying in the back seat through everything they'd said made him uncomfortable. Derrik shoved that feeling to the back of his mind, put his car into drive and set off. Derrik did not really speak for the rest of the drive except to make certain he pulled into the right driveway.
