Simon's POV
I had spoken to Josh about everything and now we were on our way to the airport to fly over to Sydney. I'm surprised there was a flight available though I was a little bit passed off when I found my ticket had been bought already and they falsely advertised seats. It just meant we had to spend a stupid amount on fucking business class because there were none left in economy. Had it been any other situation I would have waited but I didn't care. I needed to get over there.
Josh: "What if Mitch was trying to coax you into coming over?"
Simon: "I would go regardless, even if as soon as I land, he pulls a gun on me, I'd still go regardless to make sure Gabe is alright."
Josh: "You don't think it's a bit strange? Hearing nothing from him and then now all of a sudden shit has hit the fan?."
Simon: "Josh I know how it looks. But I can assure you that everything will be ok eventually. Jay and Alex will get him out of there and he will be safe. That's all that matters."
Josh: "This won't change how he feels towards you."
Simon: "I know. But I don't care. I just need to make sure he is ok."
Josh: "I sometimes think to myself that when it comes to love that straight and gay people aren't that different as people. Though seeing your connection to him, even though there probably isn't anything in return. It's cute Simon. It's been a while but I'm glad to have you back."
Simon: "With what's happened lately. That's still sensitive, he's been sending me messages about Tobi, telling me it was my fault because I didn't stop anyone from abusing him even though I was out cold in a hospital bed. It's hard but I know he just tries to get a reaction out of me. I won't let him."
Josh: "What happened with Tobi was heart breaking to everyone. And I know Manny has nothing to do with us which I completely understand. His parents told me they blamed you as well, that if you had treated Brett fright he wouldn't had gone through such a ludicrous amount of shit to get out of the relationship. And Tobi wouldn't have gotten involved but it doesn't matter now. The only thing that matters is that your happy with what your doing. I will ask only one more time, are you absolutely sure you want to go to Brisbane? Because we are going to need to do a lay over in Singapore and get another flight again in Sydney."
Simon: "Yeah, I'm sure."
Josh: "Alright we are nearly at the airport then. When we get there we will head over and book in and grab something to eat ok?"
We drove for about ten more minutes in silence until we parked our car in the extended car park. I suppose Josh will leave the keys somewhere. As we got out of the car I heard the sound of sticky tape being pulled as I watched him sticky tape the keys under the driver's side car door handle. It was creative to say the least though not something I would have thought of.
Josh: "I'll just ask Harry to grab it later or something so we don't have to pay any more money than we need to. Come on let's go."
We grabbed our luggage out of the boot before Josh made sure to lock his car. We headed inside and started waiting in line. As we approached the lady with our tickets I heard someone calling out my name.
????: "I'm sorry is that person with you?"
I turned to see "Brett" walking over towards us.
Simon: "Josh."
Josh: "I got it."
????: "So is it just you and your friend Josh then?"
Simon: "Yeah. When we go through I am begging you to please call the police and ask for officer Freya Nightingale at Manchester police station, she already knows the things that man has done and I am begging you to help me."
????: "Sir, I'm sorry for what has occurred. But if I call the police they will demand we keep you guys somewhere to be safe. I can't do that when your plane leaves in an hour but I can call security to keep him away."
Simon: "Anything you can do. Will be a great help."
????: "It's ok Simon, your doing great. Ok here we are. Enjoy your flight."
Simon: "Thank you."
I watched the lady pick up the phone and call in for security. I walked up to Josh and pulled him away quickly before we started to walk towards security check and customs. I know "Brett" tried to follow us but he didn't make it very far. After we went though we took our seats in the business lounge. But I didn't feel safe. I didn't feel happy or joyous that he couldn't get to me for a while. I was just, scared. Scared for myself, scared for Gabrielle. I didn't feel right and K was scared about something but I'm not sure what it was.
Josh: "Hey come here, relax I'm sure he's fine."
I sat next to Josh and waited for the stewardess to let us know it was time to board. I rest my head on Josh's shoulder as he kept one arm around me.
Simon: "When I told you guys. Or when you found out about me. Did anyone hate me?"
Josh: "Where's this coming from mate?"
Simon: "I just, wanted to know."
Josh: "I think the only one who wasn't too happy in the idea was Vik. But that's because his family were very straight forward and traditional. I don't even think he knew anyone that was gay prior to you so that's understandable, Harry was ecstatic. Until he came to the conclusion that he was straight he thought he would have someone to talk to about how he was confused and feeling. I feel like Tobi, JJ and I would have always known and supported you throughout every single day. And Ethan is just Ethan, he didn't care as it didn't affect who you were and how you treated others."
I couldn't help but smile to myself as I cuddled deeper into Josh, it reminded me of when Brett first left or had "Died". I was too scared to be by myself and I couldn't sleep properly and so had ended up crawling into bed with Josh or JJ most nights. The first time I had slept in my own bed again this bastard went and bought a cake to celebrate with I get my own bed now written on it. I thought it was funny and cute so I let it go but it hurt a little bit. Now thinking about Gabrielle. I couldn't help but stop for a moment. Would I be able to help look after him? Would I be able to help keep him safe, he'll the poor guy couldn't walk. What the hell was I going to do?
Josh: "Come on let's go board."
Simon: "Ok one second."
I sent Jay a quick message telling him we were boarding. I told him Josh insisted on coming and I guess he was happy for the back up. I hope Gabe's alright. If anything happened to him, I would not be able to fucking forgive myself.
Jay's POV
Alex: "So what are you thinking?"
Jay: "On one hand I know what Mitch is like, he can be a really fucking big ass hole sometimes but he isn't that bad, and Lachlan instantly believing his brother over his best friend, I don't know something's up but Simon would kill me if I did nothing about it."
Alex: "So what's the plan?"
Jay: "We can go over and make it out like a boys night, just play some games or even go out for dinner or something, we can't stop Mitch and Lachlan from wanting to take Gabe in their car so I have the Fourby. As there is so much room in the car we can have Gabe sit in the front while I drive. Your going to need to sit with the boys but maybe you can listen in on them if they say anything."
Alex: "You didn't think all of This completely through, what if they don't talk?"
Jay: "Well then they don't talk, simple as that. But they will probably just try and keep everyone at home, so the least we can do is just try and always have at least one of us with him at all times. Alright?"
Alex: "Your paranoid."
Jay: "What?"
Alex: "Your paranoid and anxious."
Jay: "Of Course I am, no matter how much Gabe means to Simon he's still always been a friend to me as well. If something is going down I don't want to fucking hear about something happening to him."
Alex: "Alright well then let's head over. I'm getting hungry and dinner wouldn't go amiss."
He headed out to the car after grabbing his phone and wallet, he stayed at my place last night after he found a huntsman in his bedroom on the roof above him, he hasn't even killed the thing yet he still has to at home. His argument is if he can't see it it's not there.
Jay: "Suh due."
Lachlan: "Suh what's up?"
Jay: "Fuck all, bored out of my mind and Alex stayed last night, thought fuck it let's go out for dinner and a few drinks yeah? Grab Mitch and Gabe as well so they aren't left out and then stay at yours or mine maybe? Something to do and we haven't actually gone out in a while for a few drinks at least. Heard Mitch had a thing for Gabe so maybe they could get a table alone hey ;)"
Lachlan: "Your a fucking dick I swear, your worse than when Preston was trying to hook Rob and Gabe together."
Jay: "Nah it would never work, we both know he prefers the blondes."
Lachlan: "Finally someone that agrees with me. Fuck it I've already uploaded one video today just need to edit this Rocket League bullshit I did with Vik. At least I'm getting better."
Jay:'"Yeah... 21-3"
Lachlan: "Fuck off Jay it was the first time I had ever played the damn game. Alright I'll let Mitch know now so he can help Gabe get ready."
Jay: "I'm just about To leave my place with Alex now. Should be there in twenty minutes."
Lachlan: "All good see you soon."
I put my phone in my pocket and headed out towards the car, seeing Alex waiting impatiently for me.
Alex: "What were you doing?"
Jay: "Letting Lachlan know we will be there in 20."
Alex: "Alright and?"
Jay: "We are all going out for dinner and a few drinks then back to his for the night. If we can either try and get Lachlan orMitch drunk that would make it even easier."
Alex: "Well you can't drink because you have to drive."
Jay: "Exactly. With one out of action then we will have less to worry about later on, Simon and Josh are going to be flying in tomorrow at about 4 pm so I will pick them up and bring them back to my place. We might try and get Lachlan, Mitch and Gabe over to mine tonight if we can get the two of them drunk."
Alex: "That means I have to drink."
Jay: "Do you want to drive us all back to mine?"
Alex: "Fine whatever. I'll get them on the drinks and we can leave after a few bets."
Jay: "It's better than nothing."
Alex: "This better work, otherwise your going to be in shit."
Jay: "It has to work, I don't believe that Lachlan would ever do such a thing but it's better to be safe than sorry right?"
