Chapter 62

But no, Jason’s really taken it in his stride, and I’m grateful for it. Gives me the room to get used to it, but he’s keeping Shane steady as well. He’s a good kid. They both are, and the way they’ve relied on each other in the middle of this…guess I didn’t fuck up too bad, huh?

I’m still hurt that Shane was scared to tell me, but…I’ve looked through some of the stuff Chloe’s shown me, talked to her about it, and I’m beginning to see why, I guess. I never figured I could come across like I hated queers, but I guess I can see why Shane thought I might.

Little suspicious Jason might have known, given how easy he’s taken it, but he swears he didn’t. Hell if I can figure it out. But they’re comfortable with each other. I’ve got time to learn before Cornwall, and hopefully by then Shane will have stopped starting and re-starting sentences whenever he talks about that Luke kid. Starts, stops, starts again, like he thinks I’m going to snap at him. Or he’s still keeping secrets.
