Where's My Other Half?

Hey guys I just wanna thank everyone who is interested in this book. I'm mainly using writing as a form of stress reliever from the problems of my daily life. So please enjoy!

"Breaking news! Watch out folks there has been a fatal accident on the main intersection of Johnsville please find a detour if you are commuting through there," the news anchor said on the tv.

"Hmm Dad said he was going to be home around this time from his business trip," I thought to myself excited and worried because I haven seen him in quite some time or even talked to him.

Ring ring

"Hey, what is up loser?" I asked while picking up Kya's call.

"Just finished the paper for class. I hate how bland the topic is ugh," She whined.

"Same here dude," I replied while grabbing a box of cereal from the cabinet.

"So what are you doing? Also are you excited to see you're dad?" She asked.

"Making a bowl of cereal and hell yeah I'am I haven't seen him in months! He's a busy man and at least he tries to keep in touch here and there so I'm not really mad at him" I replied while pouring the cereal in my bowl.

"Yeah, I hear you on that. My mom just rushed out to that accident on the main street. Hope everything is alright," She replied.

"Same, especially since that road is always so busy," I replied while grabbing my bowl and walking to the living room.

Ring ring

"Lemme call you back it's my mom," I said before picking up the call.

"Hey mom! What is up? Did you get dad already," I asked.

"Hunny listen to me closely," She replied in a serious tone with police sirens in the back.

"Mom.." I replied worried.

"Dad got in a bad accident and he is being flown out to get emergency surgery. One of his lung's  collapsed on him from a car hitting us. We dont know if he is gonna make it.," She replied holding her tears back.

"I gotta go we are rushing to the site right now to have him be flown. I will keep you updated," She replied then hanging up.

My hands became weak and the bowl slipped through my hands. The bowl shattered every where with the cereal covering the kitchen floor. I then walked over to the back patio stepping on some of the glass shards from the bowl. At that moment I did not feel any of the pain from the glass cutting into my feet. All I felt was the pain of my heart slowly breaking more and more. With the sting of tears quickly beginning to crowd my eye's.

Ring ring

"Nicky! We are coming over! My mom told me what happened and we are on our way right now!" Kya said sternly while getting in her car and starting it up.

A few minutes that felt like hours had passed and everyone showed up to my house. I heard them from the backyard where I was sitting in a chair. Kya told Brandon to clean up the glass then running to the backyard door seeing that it was half open. They hurried around me noticing the blood dripping down from my feet. I couldn't hear anything at that moment I lost all of my emotion's and became numb.

Ring ring

I picked up the my phone knowing it was my mom while everyone took a look at my feet. I could tell she had been crying and when I noticed that I began to tear up.

"Mom.. is Dad alright," I asked trying to keep my voice from breaking.

"I'm sorry Nicky.. they did everything they could to save him," She replied I then dropped my phone and began to uncontrollably cry. Everyone began to tear up trying to comfort me. I couldn't feel their arms wrapped around me. All I could feel was my heart breaking again.

"I wanted to say I love you and that I missed you Dad..."

Beep Beep

I shot up in my bed wiping my damp eyes while shutting off the alarm on my phone.

"Ugh, not again," I thought to myself trying to gather my composure. I then started my morning playlist and began to get ready for school.

"Honey, breakfast is ready, hurry up and get a good education so you can move out already!" She said jokingly.

I grabbed my backpack and rushed downstairs. "Do you wanna get rid of me that bad mom?" I asked while adjusting my jacket so it will look somewhat symmetrical with my outfit.

"No, but sooner or later it is going to happen, now eat your breakfast before it gets cold, also watch out for the morning traffic while driving and be safe. I'll be home a little late tonight at the doctor's office because, for some reason, everyone has to schedule an appointment on the same day making my schedule extremely congested!" She stated before giving me a kiss on the head. "I love you, have fun at school and good luck at your game today, sorry I can't make it. I'll try to go to the next one!"

"You always say that," I replied disappointed.

"Well, then I will go to the one after that," She stated, trying to reassure me.

"Mom this is the second to last one, you haven't gone to any. But, I understand you have been busy," I muttered.

"Thank you! I will see you later tonight!" She yelled while rushing out of the front door to her car.

"Well bye to you also, mom," I stated before grabbing my backpack and keys. 

After finishing my breakfast I wen't on my normal routine of grabbing some coffee for myself and blasting music. Upon entering the parking lot at Johnsville High school, I noticed that the football players' parking lot was extremely crowded but only crowded around the star players' spots. There were girls and guys lined up around to give them good luck high fives and good luck selfies with them.

I parked in my spot, which is always under the same light pole in the corner, left of all the parking spots. Everybody knows it's mine so no one ever takes it in the morning or even park's near me except my friends which their car's were all there.

"Ugh, I hate popular kids," I muttered while grabbing my backpack out of my trunk being annoyed by the obnoxious music the other students were playing.

The closer I walked to the group, the quieter it got until I walked passed them. I was able to hear the wannabe gangster music blasting inside one of the player's cars, that everyone on the team listened to. I put my headphones in and started to just skim through twitter while walking through the hallway. Then before I knew it I seemed to have walked into a wall?

"Watch where you're f*****g going next time!" I voiced while picking myself up.

"Oh s**t, I'm sorry," he said while helping me up.

"Oh it's cool man don't sweat it," I replied in a friendly tone quickly getting up without his help.

"You must be pretty nervous for one of our last games and if we win we will be undefeated! You juniors make us seniors so proud, knowing that we could graduate and this football team will still be in good hands," He replied while wiping off my shoulder.

"Haha, yeah you can count on us juniors," I replied before making a fast escape past him. "He is so f*****g hot," I thought to myself blushing.

"I just wish he wasn't such a stereotypical jock and like showed me his real side if he has one," I muttered under my breath.

Entering the commons, which is basically the social place at Johnsville High School, I had already spotted my group. While walking towards them, I overheard all the gossip that's happening here because kids at this high school don't know what using our "Inside voices" means anymore. A few steps away from my friends i hear something that catches my attention.

Leaning over to eavesdrop on the conversation I then I look over at my friends with all of them tilting their head at me trying to see what I'm doing. I give them the 'One-second' hand gesture and then they all nod before going back to talking.

"Didn't you get the pic!?" One of the freshmen stated in shock.

"No, what pic!?" she shot back.

"Oh my god, the one of Chris Watson's d**k!" She replied with a look in her eye as if she just won the lottery.

"Oh, my double G you need to send me that pronto!" She stated filled with  curiosity and lust.

Just when I was about to look over the freshman girls shoulder and get a peek at Chris Watson's nude photo, Daphne ruins it.

"Hey creeper Nicky, come over here!" She yelled while grabbing and tugging my jacket to the group.

When I got to the group and she walked to her spot of the circle and I immediately responded with, "Ok why the hell did you do that?"

"Uhh because you were creeping and sticking your nose in that poor freshman's conversation, you nosy b***h!" She replied back jokingly while resting her body on Brandon's arm.

"Hey, not my fault, she was talking about Chris Watson's NUDE!" I shot back with sass.

"Hey, you two it's eight in the morning calm down about some guy's d**k pic. Anyway, Nicky, good luck with your game, I know you will protect our end zone with your life!" Brandon stated interrupting Me and Daphne's little argument.

"Thanks, man!" I said while giving him a high five.

"Ugh whatever, guess you don't wanna see your dream guy in the nude now, do you, Nicky?" She said trying to rekindle the argument.

Turning my head back to her, I said, "Uhh who said he was my dream guy, also I bet you're bluffing on that one."

Flipping her hair to the right. "Oh, am I now?"

I pan the circle to see if Brandon, Kya, Maddy, or even Christian will say something to reassure myself that I was right.

"Wait she's bluffing, right guys?" I said worriedly.

They all then start to fidget with their shirts or even whip out their phone to see a notification. While Daphne was staring me dead in the eye with that smirk on her face saying, "Guess who won this time b***h!?"

"Wait.. you all have seen it?" I replied in shock.

"Let's just say Nicky, you are Bi which means you like girls and guys but if you saw this,  you would turn straight gay," Kya whispered in my ear, which was funny since she is shorter than me making her lean on my shoulder to bring my ear close to her.

"Kya, you cant say it will turn me, straight gay, those two words don't go together in the same sentence!" I replied jokingly.

"Shut up you know what I mean!" She said trying to gain her composure back after she messed up her wording.

"No...I DON'T KNOW WHAT ANY OF YOU MEAN RIGHT NOW!" I said slowly and loudly as if they all had hearing aids.

"Well, it was just like a wow reaction," Maddy said cutting off Kya.

"Like, oh my god, I would have never thought feeling," Christian added.

"Christian you're straight right!?" I shot back at him with a confused look.

"OK what Christian is saying, no, what we are saying, Nicky, is that you need to see this picture because you will ask yourself, 'How does he run in compression shorts with that foot long between his legs?'," Brandon stated, trying to calm the group.

"Whatever, just show me already!" I said impatiently.

"Ok if you say so, but make sure not to faint," Daphne said smirking.

When I saw it all I said was, "Wow...How does he run with compression shorts?"

But, what I wanted to say was, "Oh sweet lord, he has been blessed with Thor's hammer between those legs that have made many victims limp after being penetrated!" but I held my gay side back.

Before anyone can comment on my reaction, "Oh, would you look at the time its 8:30, I leave for the game around 2:30 and it starts around 5. Wish me luck and I hope to see yall there!"

"Goodluck!" Everyone said in unison before walking to our classes.

Couple of hours later...

"Kind of surprised that I have no homework even though I'm always ahead of my school work, must be my Asian side coming in clutch," I said jokingly in my head, even smiling a little while walking to the locker room.

Entering the locker room, I hurry and scan the area to see if Coach Jeff or anybody else was around. "Great alone I can finally unstress and just relax" I stated with excitement in my head. Nobody usually talks to me on the team unless they need something which was annoying at first but, you get used to it. I usually dont talk to any of them they mainly annoy me with their very dumb personality. Also the topic of their conversations range from drinking to who they f****d last night.

" Hmm, it's only 1 pm, guess I still have time to blast music and relax and get my mind clear," I stated while connecting my phone to my speaker.

Ten minutes into the music, I was already singing all the lyrics to all the songs turning the locker room into a concert starring me.

Until I hear, "Some nice vocals you got there,"

I immediately freeze and slowly turn to the entrance of the locker room thinking "Kill me, kill me, kill me...!" Over and over until I see who it was.

"Chris, why are you here so early?" I replied trying to act not embarrassed.

"Well I got out of class early and was going to come relax and get my head in the game but, seems like someone already beat me to it!" He replied grinning.

"My bad, how long have you been watching me?" While rubbing my face trying to rid myself of my cheeks blushing .

"Hmmm, about ten minutes and I can honestly say I have enjoyed every second of it. I've never seen you really express any emotions before," He replied jokingly.

"Ahh thanks? I just dont really have a reason to talk to anyone on the team. I also don't fit in with them they are just not my people." I replied turning off the music.

"Why is that?" He asked while leaning back on a locker crossing his arms.

"I just don't have a reason to and like everybody annoys me," I replied while grabbing my game bag out of my locker.

"Everybody? Even me?" He asked smiling.

"Actually you kind of annoy me the most," I shot back.

"Wait, why me? I've never done anything to you." He replied annoyed.

"Well I'm an honest person and when I see you interact with people it seems so fake and not genuine. I really dislike fake people just what I've been taught since I was born. I was told to always be real to people," I replied jokingly trying to clear out the air.

"Well whoever taught you that needs to learn to not be so nosy and judgmental," He replied while annoyed by me.

"I can't," I replied backing up into my locker.

"Well that sucks doesn't it now? Look I was just trying to be nice and all but, maybe that was a mistake all it seems like you do is try to read people and be judgmental towards them. Also Don't try to act like you know me." He said angrily.

"Well for one I read people to see if we would make good friends or if i'm able to vibe with them. Secondly I dont think I know you at all but, wouldn't mind getting to know you. Also I cant tell that person to not be nosy because... well he is dead." I replied letting out a weak chuckle.

"Oh.. I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that..," He replied backing off and rubbing the back of his head.

"Yeah, now this is why I'm quiet because people don't like hearing the truth," I said while walking away.

He grabbed my hand before I could walk away " I'm really sorry its just that you really hit me on the nose with me being fake," he said while turning me around to face him. I could tell he was sincere and genuine.

"I understand why you would be defensive but, being fake will only create fake friends. Just be you man I can tell there is more to you than meet's the eye. Also sorry about this morning when I put my headphones in I totally disregard my surrounding." I said laughing a little trying to make him smile.

"Oh yeah sorry about this morning again. Also what is your name?" He asked sheepishly.

"You dont even know my name even though I'm one of the few junior's who play on the varsity football team? It's Nicky, Nicky Singh," I said while putting my hand out to shake his.

" Chris, Chris Watson at your service," He said before jokingly kissing my hand.

"Wow what a gentleman.. faggot," I replied before bean dipping his pec.

"Hey stop you will make me nip!" He said laughing a little and covering his n****e.

"You're right, anyways I'm about to head out and grab some lunch would you want to join me?" I asked while grabbing my bags. 

"Actually, I would like to join you I'm sick and tired of being on the bus with everyone. They annoy me with everyone trying to talk to me or Brittney is trying to suck my d**k in the back of the bus," He replied while grabbing his bag from his locker.

"That is a bit..." before could finish he said.

"Hoeish? Slutty? Dirty?" He replied cutting me off

"Unsanitary but, same thing. What are you feeling we have for lunch?" I asked while opening the door from the locker room.

"Anything really I'm not picky. Wanna just grab some boba?" He replied following me.

"You know what boba is?" I asked astonished.

"Hell yeah who doesn't? is it because I'm white," He asked raising an eyebrow to me.

"Not at all just nobody I have asked to get boba in the past knew what boba was," I replied while walking out of the locker room.

He then slung his arm over my shoulder and pulled me in close " Well I'm cultured and I usually went alone because nobody on the team or Brittney would go with me. But, now me and you can go together! I've been wanting a boba buddy to get some with for the longest!"

I then stopped and duck under his arm " Wait! Which shop is better?" I asked curious on his answer.

"Brother's boba shop they have so many options and toppings also $5 for a large slush is a great deal in my book," He replied stopping in his tracks.

"Where have you been my whole life?" I answered grinning then jumping on his back.

"I dont know honestly I'm excited I have someone to grab boba with," He replied before carrying me on him.

"CHRIS!" A girl yelled.

"Yes Brittney?" Chris asked annoyed while turning around.

"Where are you going?" She asked annoyed.

"Gonna go grab lunch with Nicky we are getting boba," He replied happily.

"Eww boba? Do you know how bad that is for you? Are you gonna be riding on the bus so we can cuddle?" She asked annoyed.

"Nope I will see you at the game!" He replied before running outside of the school to my car.

"How did you know this was my car?"  I said while unlocking it.

"How does no one know this is your car?"  He replied while opening the passenger side.

"True, well we have some time to kill and we have to drive like an hour to get there need to grab anything from home?" I asked while throwing our bags into the trunk and getting into the car.

"Nah lets go grab lunch and then we can head out. Sounds good?" He said while buckling up.

"Sure thing," I said after starting the car up and driving out of the parking lot.

The drive to the boba shop was nice I could tell he was relaxed and not having to act like how he used to with the other people. I realized he was a genuinely a chill and funny guy during the drive to the boba place. We just opened up to each other in the car by telling funny stories and figuring out what we had in common. He was the youngest in his family with an older sister named Jessica that was in her freshman year of college. Chris is into working out, hunting, car's, sports, and we have similar taste in music with not listening to screamo unless we are working out.

While ordering our drinks we began to realize that we vibed really well together because well we kind of compliment each other with our own tendency's. Like  I'm a very spontaneous guy that kind of just wing's thing's while Chris is very thorough and likes to think things through before fully committing. I also was surprised that Chris is really introverted and he would rather just stay home and watch Netflix than go out to parties. While I'm the total opposite I rarely stay at home by myself because I usually have a friend over or I would go hangout with some people.

"Thanks!" We both said after receiving our drinks and walking back to my car.

 " So do you like guys?" Chris asked immediately after entering my car.

I was startled by the question which made me choke on my drink so I jumped out of my car. He then jumped pout of his side of the car to run over and slap my back which shot the boba out of my throat. 

" Are you ok dude? To soon to ask? I was just curious because of what people have told me about you," he said worried while rubbing my back.

I then pushed his hand away and got back into my car trying to control my breathing "Sorry for scaring you but, you just took me off gourd and yes I'm into guys and girls," I replied laughing.

"I'm sorry I was just wondering because I think I might be into guys also," He asked sheepishly while fiddling with his drink. "You seem like someone I can trust with almost anything. I know that seems weird but it is just how I feel since we truly met," He replied looking down and his drink.

I immediately started to rub my head and took a big deep breathe "My crush is confessing his sexuality to me? I swear to god  this is to good to be real," I thought to myself.

"I also have another confession.. I like you," he said looking at me seriously.

My heart skipped a beat when I heard him say those words. I mean, I have been crushing on him since I first found out he existed but, never would I have thought he would say that to me. Even though it is a dream come true I can't just believe what he is saying is true or he could just be f*****g with me. Either way I'm not gonna let him get me that easy.

"Look you are a f*****g hot amazing funny guy from what I can see and know since we started talking in the locker room. But, I just don't believe you like, why now? I just have a lot of trust issues and problems which makes it hard to date me. I'm sorry," I answered while starting my car.

"Well wanna talk more tonight? After the game you should come over!" He stated smiling while placing his hand on my thigh.

"No I shouldn't man. I think we are going a little to fast with this friendship," I replied sheepishly.

"How about if I make 5 touchdowns during tonight's game you come over. Deal?" 

I let out a big sigh and looked over to his puppy dog face " Fine.. deal," I answered giving in to him.

"Yay! Now lets go win!" He replied before rolling down his window and turning up the music.

"This is gonna be a long drive" I thought to myself while driving to the other schools football stadium.

So what do you guy's think as a first chapter?
