I'm With You

Clay's POV

It was Monday and I was at school, sitting next to George on a bench. After we kissed, we had seen each other twice more on the weekend and I had never felt this way before. I was constantly thinking about George and went to school early so I could see him.

I didn't only leave early for George, but also because there was such a bad fight at home that I didn't want to be there for any longer.

I left without eating anything and took my bike to cycle as fast as I could. I was really exhausted as I sat next to George, but I was planning on asking him to be my boyfriend today. I just really loved him a lot and I wanted to be together with him.

I had a gap hour at the moment and since George basically had the same schedule as me, we were chilling together. I was really nervous and grabbed his hand shyly as I stood up.

'Can you come with me, George?'

George nodded as he had a few tics and I smiled at him, holding his hand tightly as I walked outside with him. I leaned back against the wall of the school and pulled him close to me as I sighed softly.

'I want to ask you something, but I'm really nervous.'

George smiled at me and yelled out my name a few times, causing me to hug him against my body as I slid down the wall to sit down. George sat down next to me and I had my arm around his shoulders.

'I'm just going to be straight up with you. Do you want to be my boyfriend?'

It was quiet for a little bit and then George giggled, nodding his head. 'I would love to, I was just way too scared to ask. But Clay?'

I nodded with a smile on my face. I was really relieved now that he said yes to me.

'Do uh- you think I'm an abusive boyfriend when I hit you because of my Tourette's? Am I too difficult?'

'You're not abusive at all and also not too difficult. I love you the way you are and that's also with Tourette's.'

'And if it never gets less and only worse?'

'Then I'll cuddle with you all the time so you calm down the most you can.'

George smiled and rested his head on my shoulder. I looked at him and turned a bit more towards him. 'Do you want a kiss?'

George's cheeks got red and he nodded shyly as I leaned in a bit, pressing my lips on his. The kiss got more passionate within seconds and I sat down in front of him so I could kiss him better. I was so in love with him that I smiled through the kiss because of happiness.

When I contained myself, I kissed him passionately again. He held my shoulders as I cupped his face and held my other hand in his hair. We kissed until I heard footsteps behind me, causing me to immediately turn around.

There was a random girl standing in front of us, holding her phone in her hands with a smile on her face. My face heated up as I held my hand in front of her camera.

'Why are you filming us? Can you delete that?'

'You're actually gay? I thought it was just a rumour going around, but I didn't expect the popular guy to actually be gay.'

'Does it seem like I'm straight, kissing a boy?'

'No need to sound so rude, I don't mean it wrongly.'

'Then don't film me kissing a guy. I haven't confirmed it for a reason, the reason being me not wanting to come out yet.'

The girl nodded slowly and tapped at some things on her phone. 'I deleted the video, I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable.'

'Yeah, you did.'

'I'm not homophobic or anything, I was just happy for you. I guess it's stupid of me to film you and I have no permission to do that. I have deleted it and I won't tell anyone that I saw you kiss a boy.'

I nodded slowly. 'Thanks, now please leave us.'

The girl walked off and I rolled my eyes as I looked back at George. 'I LOVE to be popular among the girls while being a gay guy.'

'I'm the unpopular gay guy,' George giggled. 'I wouldn't be able to get girls anyway, so I'm glad I have a boy.'

I giggled and kissed his lips softly as I stood back up, feeling really lightheaded suddenly. It seemed like my blood sugar just dramatically dropped.

I started feeling a bit nauseous as I started shaking. I didn't want to worry George so kept walking, but it got only worse. I started sweating as I panted a little and leaned forwards.

'George,' I muttered as I grabbed a wall, feeling my heart beat really fast. 'Help.'

George immediately ran closer to me and grabbed my arm as I panted louder, having my vision turn completely blurry.

'Clay, try to talk to me. What's wrong? What are you feeling?'

'Not good,' I muttered.

'Sit down, Clay. There's a bench really close, just a few more steps.'

I nodded and really slowly walked closer to the bench, but everything started spinning in front of me.

'Clay, look at me. Sit down on the ground,' George said as he held my shoulders tightly. 'Look at me.'

I tried my best, but I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. The whole world was blurry and spinning in front of me and I collapsed on the ground, shaking really badly. George knelt down next to me and held my hand tightly.

'Clay, keep your eyes open. I'm going to call for help.'

I was really scared of how bad I was suddenly feeling and the world was constantly turning around as my eyes rolled away.

'Clay, stay with me. Look at me, please,' I heard George's panicky voice.

I wanted to answer him and look him in the eyes, but before I knew what was going on, I passed out.
