Sorry about the mistakes

《1995》

Five months had passed.
Everything was perfect in Alex and Luke's relationship, it was still their secret.
In all rehearsals, concerts, band meetings, whenever possible they exchanged looks, silly smiles and discreet touches.
They went out almost every night to kiss on the beach, watch the sunset or just enjoy each other's presence when they weren't playing tag or guessing words in the sand.
The first time had been incredible, as well as his second, third, fourth ...

In the past two days something had changed in Luke, he looked too thoughtful all the time and backed off when Alex kissed him.
There were no apparent reasons for that but something in his head was disturbing him, he looked scared and it was bothering the blond, making him worried.

Now they were at Alex's, the parents were at work, Luke was on the couch with his eyes on the television.
But he wasn't there, not really.
His body was but his mind was flying away and that worried his boyfriend because that wasn't his job, the job of worrying about everything and thinking too much was Alex's, not his.

It was killing him.

- Can you stop this?  - The blond asks in an irritated tone, gaining the attention of the another body with a confused expression - Why are you acting like this?

- You know why, Alex - He says in a sigh and then The blond sits on his lap wrapping his lips in a light kiss.

- We can stop if you want.  Know this.

- I know.  And you know that I don't want to stop but ... it's hard. My mother knows i have someone and and she thinks it's a girl, if she knows it's you ... it won't be good, neither for you or for me - he says, he didn't have the courage to look Alex in the eyes but his  hands held him around the waist so he wouldn't leave - I'm sorry.

- So are we done?

So that was it.
There was no longer a relationship between Luke and Alex, because their fear of what others might think.

Will see love could not get over everything.
Or the love was so intense that they gave up on each other so they wouldn't get hurt, both sentimentally and in the literal sense of the word.
People were mean, cruel enough to think that loving someone of the same sex was a disease or something contagious.

But Luke and Alex had an idea.
They would say goodbye to each other before a final goodbye to their relationship.
They need more one night.

One last night to shine together.

Luke was lying on his bed.
A whirlwind of thoughts lurking in his head, he was afraid but at the same time he wanted to be with Alex.
So, he take his notebook and pen in his backpack to do what he did best: compose.

Like all previous nights, Luke throws some pebbles at Alex's window, who this time decides to go down there, remembering his boyfriend's words when they did that for the first time.
The way to the beach pier had not been the same as the other days, they had not played silly games with each other and Alex had not asked his boyfriend to carry him on his back, they were not holding hands and did not even know what to talk about.
Like two complete strangers.
