Three is a crowd

Leon sat on a wall watching the sunset and chatting with his two best friends Kay and Mark. The three of them where inseparable, they hardly went anywhere or did anything without the other two. Leon looked at Mark and again wondered why he still hung around with them. He knew they grew up together but he was a year older than them and one of the coolest guys at school, with his brown hair finishing just above his chin and his green eyes. He dressed so simply, but on him the clothes just looked cool. He wore baggy blue jeans a simple black t-shirt and a chequered wristband. Nearly all the girls at school were after him, but he was still single. Mark turned and saw Leon staring at him and winked, Leon blushed and turned away slightly embarrassed.

He turned and looked at Kay, she was so beautiful with her auburn hair and pretty face, God, he loved everything about her. Her black and red stripy socks, her black skirt, red v-neck top and stunning black leather jacket. She turned and looked into Leon’s eyes, she loved him too. They’d grown up together as the best of friends and recently it had developed into something more. Leon looked away from his friends and into the sunset, he smiled, life can’t get much better than this he thought to himself. Little did he know that

it wouldn’t be long before it got a whole lot worse!

The day started for Leon like any other, he got up, washed, pulled on his brown-beige baggy trousers, a black t-shirt similar to the one Mark wore and a cream coloured jacket. He went to the mirror to do his hair. He stopped a moment and studied himself; he had blue innocent eyes and a youthful slightly handsome face. In a few minutes he had arranged his hair in the blond spikes that had become his trade mark hair style. After a hurried breakfast of cornflakes he said goodbye to his mum and left for Kay’s house. There were only two weeks of the summer holiday left, he might as well make the most of them.

Leon and Kay were sitting on the wall holding hands, waiting for Mark. This wall had become the group’s favourite place to meet up and hang out, it was just a wall in the middle of a field, on top of a hill. No one knew why it was there. Leon and a Kay looked into each others eyes, then started to kiss. They stopped as Mark approached them, he was looking at Leon with a strange almost hungry look on his face. Leon dismissed it, but if he had paid more attention he would have recognised that look as longing.

“Hey guys, can you stop trying to eat each others faces all the time, in public?” said Mark casually.

“We can do what we want” said Kay defiantly, “anyway there’s no one here” she continued.

“I’m here” Mark stated, his voice slightly colder.

“You just don’t understand you don’t have a girlfriend” Leon said joining the conversation. Mark turned and looked at Leon.

“Well maybe I don’t want one” he replied, once again his casual self.

“Well your loss” Leon replied. With that over the three discussed what they where going to do for the rest of the day. In the end they decided to go to Marks house as his parents where away on holiday for a couple of days, so they’d had have the place to themselves.

They played Kingdom Hearts on the Playstastion 2 and watched some cartoons on the telly. Then they played Cluedo, as usual Kay was Miss Scarlet, Mark was Proffesor Plum and Leon was Colonel Mustard. Eventually Leon found Mark guilty of the murder in the lounge, with the crowbar. At 7o’clock they heard a car beeping outside.

“That’ll be my dad” said Kay, “My aunties coming round tonight with her kids so I’ve got to be home early.”

“K, I’m gonna stay here tonight, ill cya tomoz” replied Leon giving her a quick kiss. Mark and Leon saw her off then went and sat back on the sofa. Leon noticed that Mark was looking weird again. Man what is with him, he thought.

“Are you ok?” Leon asked him.

“Yeah am fine” said Mark nervously, “Leon”

“Yes?” asked Leon, Mark looked at Leon strangely

“I…I..love you.”

“Wha-?!” Leon started to say, but before he could finish the word Marks lips where on his. Oh my God! What is he doing, he thought. Without meaning to, Leon started to kiss Mark back. His train of thought continued, what am I doing! We’re kissing! That is so wrong! I…I have a girlfriend and I’m not that way am I...? Leon felt so confused, guilty and wrong. I’m kissing a guy, ahh! He thought but secretly he was enjoying it. It was such a different experience from kissing Kay. With Kay kisses were soft and gentle, but…but this was pure passion. After what seemed like an eternity they broke apart and looked at each other. Leon loved Kay he knew it, but then why did he just do that? He thought. He stared into Mark's emerald green eyes,

“I love you too” he said softly.

Leon awoke and stared at the ceiling, where am I? he thought. He looked down and was surprised to see he was naked. He turned his head to see the naked, muscular body of Mark lying next to him. Suddenly the memories of what had happened last night come flooding back to him. Oh god he thought, what am I going to do? Marks eyes slowly opened

“Hey” he said, reaching up and brushing some hair out of Leon’s eyes.

“Hey…erm…Mark, thank you, I really enjoyed what we had, but you do realise I have a girlfriend an-

“Shhh”, said Mark placing a finger on Leon’s lips,

“she doesn’t need to know.”

Leon was about to protest when Mark brought his head forward and kissed Leon, Leon had a private struggle with his conscience, then closed his eyes and returned the kiss.

After a couple of hours together before they finally decided to get dressed. While Mark made them both a cup of tea, Leon’s phone went off. It was Kay. His throat went dry, what was he going to say? Just act normal Leon told himself. He picked up the phone and answered it.

“Hiya Leon!” said a happy sounding Kay.

“…Hey Kay” said Leon with slightly feigned enthusiasm.

“So what have you and Mark been up ta?”

Typical she had asked the one question Leon didn’t want to answer, he couldn’t say ‘making out’ could he? But he didn’t want to lie to her either.

“Erm…guy stuff” he replied, well it wasn’t exactly a lie!

“Sounds fun” Kay scoffed sarcastically “well I’m away I can’t come out tonight my cousins have left a mess and I have to clean it up.”

“That’s a shame” Leon said sympathetically, but in truth only half of him felt that, the other half was rejoicing.

“Well I hope you two have fun, cya later” Kay said before she hung up.

Mark snuck up behind Leon and squeezed his bum. Leon jumped.

“Ahh! Oh sorry, it’ll take me a bit to get used to that” Leon exclaimed sheepishly.

“Hey no sweat, I’m the one who should be apologising, who was that on the phone?” he asked

“Kay, she can’t come out till later.”

“Perfect, we’ve got the day to ourselves.”

“Mark, would you mind if we just talked for a bit?” asked Leon

“Of course not.”

They talked for a few hours. Leon found out that Mark had realised he was gay about 6 months ago, girls had stopped interesting him and he’d fallen for Leon. That’s anther thing I need to think about now, am I gay? I know I’m at least bi-sexual. Eventually they started to talk about what’ll happen now.

“Mark I love you, but if we carry on with this then I’m cheating on Kay, and that’s not right” said Leon in a confused voice.

“Dump her, then you’re not cheating on anyone” suggested Mark

Leon closed his eyes and thought for a minute. I love Kay. I’d never even thought about guys in that way before, but I know I love Mark too. It just feels so right when we’re together.

Mark seeing Leon’s confused look, held him. Leon put his arms around Mark and started to cry.

“I hate it I love you both, but I know what I’m gonna have to do, I have to choose one of you to be with” Leon cried in anguish. Mark held Leon and stroked his hair to calm him down. Mark and Leon shared one last kiss before Leon went home to think.

Mark went into his room and stared at his cream coloured walls with a few posters showing bands or computer game characters. Come on brain think, he thought to himself. Who do I want to be with the most, Kay’s been my best friend for like forever and I love her. But it wasn’t the same sort of love he shared with Mark; they had such a lovely passionate encounter. Just thinking of Mark made his hearts beat faster. Somewhere deep inside Leon’s head something clicked. I know now he thought. I love them both, but I only love Kay as a friend. Leon wanted to be held by Mark and be with him. He had decided. He got up and went to do one of the hardest things of his life.

Leon knocked on Kay’s door, He was really nervous; he didn’t want to do this. Kay opened the door.

“Heya Leon, what are you doing here?” she asked.

“Erm, do you mind if I come in, I need to talk to you about something.” Replied Leon, already feeling bad for what he was about to do.

“Sure come in” she said wondering what he wanted to talk about.

A few minutes later they were both sitting in Kay’s room.

It's walls were covered with posters of various rock and metal bands, occasionally you could see a flash of red revealing the original wall colour.

“So what’d you wanna talk about” asked Kay.

“I’m…I’m so sorry Kay, but..we can’t be together anymore” Leon stuttered feeling extremely guilty. There was silence for a few minutes as Kay took this in.

“So…so you're dumping me?” said Kay hurt “Why?”

“I’m so sorry Kay, but if we’d stayed together, you would have been hurt” he said.

“You haven’t answered my question, why?” she persisted

“I’m with Mark now” he told her. Kay’s face became a mixture of pain and surprise.

“So you're gay?” she asked hurt.

“I dunno, all I know is that me and Mark love each other, I couldn’t stand to cheat on you, so I had to end our relationship” he explained.

“You don’t love me anymore?”

“No! its because I love you I had to do this, just think how hurt you’d be if you found out I’d been cheating on you” he said hating himself for the pain he was causing her. “I hope we can still be friends.”

“I…I think I get why your doing this, but I need some time alone to think,” she told him.

“Ok” Leon replied. Kay showed Leon out, before he left he gave her an awkward hug and said bye, Kay was silent. I feel so bad Leon thought, well I’d better go and tell Mark.

Kay sat in her room. She was confused and sad.

She could slightly understand why Leon had done that, but her brain hadn’t let it fully sink in yet. Also thinking about it now, she did love Leon but only as a friend. Nothing more.

Mark sat on his sofa worried. What if Leon chose Kay, he wouldn’t be able to cope with losing him after everything they’d had. Also if he chose Kay they might stop being his friends, after all he would’ve almost ruined their relationship. I just hope he chooses me he thought to himself. Suddenly there was a knock on the door; Mark got up to answer it.

Leon knocked on Mark’s door, mark quickly answered it.

“So…who have you chosen?” Mark asked. Leon steped forward and kissed Mark softly on the lips. He stepped back and smiled.

“Does that answer your question?” said Leon mischievously. Mark smiled back then took Leon’s hand and led him inside.
