Two Weeks Later...


[Nick's POV]


Wow. Phoenix has been my roommate for 3 weeks. Amazing; we've gotten to know each other pretty well. We've gotten pretty hot and heavy... I'm kidding. We're enjoying each other's company. I like that he's really smart and fun to be around. I enjoy his hotness the most. He is really fit and tops all the boys in this school. I bet they all want him. He would find out I wanted him too if he was only gay...


You must wonder why I haven't told him that I like him. Well first of all he's not gay. Second, I do not know how to tell him that I like him. My friends would think I was a total idiot if they found out I was too scared to tell a guy that I like him. I wouldn't even know how to start. He's so fit and makes me really nervous. I try to be as normal as possible when he's around, but it can get a bit frustrating at times. All this sexual frustration is building up. I can't stop thinking about him. 


He's in class now. I'm in the dorms because my 3rd period class got cancelled. This free time has given me a lot of time to think. 


Phoenix seems to be adjusting to Oxford pretty well. I hear him talk in his sleep sometimes and I'll find him crying. I don't wake him because I don't want him to be embarrassed. I know Oxford isn't Galveston, but I'll try my best to make him feel as comfortable as possible.


He's such a sweet guy. It saddens me to see him cry. I wish he had someone here that is a close friend of his. His Parents, his cousin or Hannah. They all seem like great people. Phoenix has told me so much about them. He loves his cousin Jason and Hannah like his siblings. It’s like really nice and reminds me of my siblings; makes me think about how much I miss them. 


I'm a bit worried because Phoenix hasn't come out of his room today.



[Phoenix's POV]


 Ugh... I don't want to get out of bed today. I feel sick, homesick that is. I can't believe my parents sent me so far away. It makes me want to hate them, but I can't. I miss them too much. I wonder if they even miss me. 


I know that I should get up, shower, and eat something but I really don't want to. Thank goodness it's Saturday. Nicky must be worried about me but I don't want to speak to anyone. Well maybe one person- Hannah and maybe Jason. Mostly Hannah; she always knows exactly what to say that I feel better. I guess I can text her since I don't want to speak to anyone.



Text Conversation...


To: Hannah Bear


What are you doing hoe? (;



From: Hannah Bear


Nothing, why?



To: Hannah Bear


Can I tell you something?



From: Hannah Bear


What's wrong, Feenie Bear? );



To: Hannah Bear


I miss you. I miss everyone. ); Why can't you be here with me?



From: Hannah Bear


I miss you too. Wish I was there too. Everyone is always talking about you and I can't understand why you would abandon them. );



To: Hannah Bear


You know my parents made me. It's like they hate me or something. 



From: Hannah Bear


That's not true babe. They love you and thought this is what was best for you.



To: Hannah Bear


What would be best for me is if I was back in Galveston with you and all our friends.



From: Hannah Bear


Don't be like that. You're going to love England so much that you won't even remember us. 



To: Hannah Bear


Whatever hoe. I will never forget you. (; Guess what?



From: Hannah Bear


What? (;



To: Hannah Bear


I like someone but I don't think he likes me back. )';



From: Hannah Bear


Come on Phoenix. Everyone loves you and wishes they could be with you. What's his name and is he cute? (;



To: Hannah Bear


His name is Nick and he is extremely cute. Actually, very hot!!!!



From: Hannah Bear


No way babe! You're so lucky. We all need to Skype.



To: Hannah Bear


Whatever hoe. You'll just scare him away. Anyways we can't; I don't think he's gay. Why?!!!



From: Hannah Bear


There's no way he's not gay. You've never chosen wrong. If you like him, he must be something special. Let me talk to him; I'll know.



To: Hannah Bear


No, no and no. I'm going to let you go now. Need to shower; you don't want to smell my stink all the way to Texas! Haha



From: Hannah Bear


Eww!!!!!! LOL No way. Love you Feenie Bear. Keep in touch all the time. Muahz! Xoxo



End of Text Conversation...



Aww... I missed talking to Hannah, even if it was only by text message. She is still the same hoe I met in Kindergarten. Haha



[Nick's POV]


Haven't spoken to him since Friday. It's really weird, you know. I miss his smile and the way he can think of something pervy pretty much from anything. He's hilarious; I wish I would have told him that. Grr... I'm such an idiot. It's already 6 o'clock, on Sunday. I miss his laugh and everything about him. Why won't he talk to me. He's deliberately ignoring me. It kind of hurts. Actually hurts a lot. Why is he doing this to me. He didn't cry or talk in his sleep yesterday. Maybe he's feeling better. I really hope so. I don't care if he doesn't talk to me for the rest of the year. I only want him to be happy. I can't be falling for him, right? Nope this is not good. Not good at all...



[Phoenix's POV] 


Nicky must think I hate him. I'm not ignoring him because I don't like him. I feel the complete opposite. I miss him, really. I have just needed time to myself. Today was the first night I didn't wake up with nightmares or tear stains on my face. I am so glad Nicky has no idea that I cry during my sleep. He'd think I was a total freak. Why can't Nicky like me as more than a friend. At least that way, I wouldn't feel so alone.


"Phoenix! Someone's here for you mate. This person won't give me their name." 


"Coming!"


That's weird. I haven't invited anyone over. I don't know a lot of people. Hmm...


I head over to the door.


"Hoe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my God! What are you doing here?!" 


Oh my God it's Hannah. My sweet Hannah Bear. Why didn't she tell me she was coming to England. Am I dreaming? 


I grab and hugged her tight. Oh my God! My Hannah is really here. I think I'm going to faint. I finally let her go when she said she couldn’t breathe.


"Wow! Hannah Bear! When did you get to England?"


Hannah: “Two hours ago, but you know with getting my luggage and stuff, it took forever to get out of the airport. I'm finally here, babe." (Hannah speaks with tears in her eyes)


"Hannah, please tell me you're staying forever?!"


Hannah: "I can't because my parents won't let me, but I will be here for two weeks. I can't believe I'm here with my Feenie Bear. How are you babe?"


"I'm great. I have to show you everything in Oxford. It's beautiful here."


Nick is heading back to his room.


"Wait Nick. I need you to meet my best friend, Hannah."


Nick: "Hey Hannah. It's nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you."


Hannah: "Hopefully only good things."


Nick: "Of course. Phoenix is a good guy." (smiles)


Nick: "Excuse me. I need to head back to my room. I have a test tomorrow. See you later."


Hmm... What's wrong with Nick. Doesn't seem to be in a great mood. Is it my fault? 


"Are you hungry my Hannah Bear?"


Hannah: "Nope. I want to hear everything about you. Let's go to your room."


She takes my hand and we head to my room. I hope she likes it. She's very picky about everything.


"Well Hannah Bear. You will share a bed with me. I'll give you a tour of the dorm and Oxford a bit later."


Hannah: "Okay. Later. Let's talk about Nick. He's super-hot. Why didn't you tell me he was hot?!"


"Shut it. Don't scream; he'll hear us."


Hannah: "Fine. (gets quieter) Do you get along really well?"


"Really well. Yeah. It's just been a bit awkward this weekend because I've been avoiding him. He's fun to be around but I've been homesick. I'm glad to have you here."


Hannah: "I'm happy to be here and when are we heading to a gay bar?" (smiles devilishly)


"I don't know."


Hannah: "Why do you mean "I don't know" You always go to gay bars. You're the king; you're the reason I can get into clubs at 16. Are there no gay bars here?"


"Of course there are, but I had no one to go with. Nick isn't gay so, that's a bust. This is a different country. I barely know anyone."


Hannah: "That's never stopped you before. We have to go to one tonight. Come on babe. You love gay bars."


"Not tonight. Maybe tomorrow okay. Let's just talk tonight."


Hannah: "Okay, but definitely tomorrow night. I need to party!!! Are you eating right?"


"Hannah. You're not my mother and yes, I am eating. How's is my mother anyway?"


Hannah: "She's missing you and wants to see you online."


"I don't think I'm ready to see her."


Hannah: "Feenie Bear don't be stubborn. She really wants to see you and hear your voice. She says you haven't spoken to her and your dad for like a week. Don't be mean Babe."


"Okay. I'll talk to them tomorrow."


We continued speaking for hours. We finally decided to go to sleep like at 3 a.m. Okay, I'm not going to class later. I'm too tired. I'm so happy Hannah Bear is here. I have to convince her to stay for good.
