CW Boys: Happily Ever

By C. Shell

I thought my Senior year of high school would be about creating lasting memories.
I’ve watched enough movies to know that parties, drinking too much, staying out late, and spending time with friends is what pre-graduates dream of. I’m on the cusp of becoming an adult. This is my time in life to spread my wings and see how high I can fly.
Nothing ever goes as planned.
I never imagined that I would spend the year lying, hiding, and having to fight for what I want. Whoever said that love shows you the best person you can be, wasn’t in love with two stubborn, cocky, relentless men.
I’m living each day as if there is a clock over my head counting down the minutes until I’m forced to make an impossible decision. Nate is the air I need to breathe, and Dex is the blood running through my veins. Life without either of them wouldn’t be worth living. I want them both, but I’m scared as shit to take the plunge.
Tick tock
I’m running out of time. If I don’t make a move soon someone waiting in the shadows is all too happy to force my hand.

May 18 – End of junior year

Dear Diary:

I don’t even know where to start or how writing in a diary is supposed to go, so bear with me. Under normal circumstances, I would tell Cammy all my secrets and hash out my problems with her, but my issues are above her pay grade. Every time I try talking to her about Dex and Nate, she gets irritated and tells me that I’m making a mistake. She doesn’t believe that love can happen between more than two people. A year ago, I probably would have agreed with her. Things are different now.

I’m different.

I wouldn’t be able to choose between the two of them if they ever forced the issue. It’s all or nothing. At least for now. When we’re alone, my relationship with Nate and Dex rolls naturally. In public, we become one big mess. I’m always worried that if I look at Nate too long or if we sit too close that someone will figure out our secret.

At first, I thought I was the only one being paranoid, but Nate says he feels the same way. Our awkward encounters are going to be the thing that ends up outing us all. And the worst part is that I don’t know how to stop it.

I’m not ashamed to love them both, but I fear the effect my actions could have on my family. Jimmie isn’t stupid, he knows something is going on between the three of us, but he chooses to ignore it and act as if it isn’t happening.

Summer is coming, and Jimmie, Nate, and Dex will be going out of town for soccer camp. They will be gone for a little over a month. This will be the longest that any of us have ever been apart. The guys promise the time will go by fast, but I’m already having anxiety over it. Just thinking about it makes my belly feel queasy.

I’ve got to get ready for work. Till next time.

June 2 – I’m officially a Senior

Dear Diary:

It’s me again. School is out for the summer, and I am officially a senior. I should be happy, right? I am excited that I made it this far, but I’m also freaking out. So much is happening, so fast, that it’s hard to keep up. I’ve got to get my senior pictures taken, apply to colleges, and figure out how to pay for it all. On top of all that, my car broke down again, and the boys are leaving in a few days for soccer camp.

Cammy and Jimmie are back together. I’m glad that they no longer mope around, but their constant need to touch each other is grossing me out. I walked in on them in the bathroom getting it on yesterday and threw up a little in my mouth. No sister should ever have to see her brother’s lily-white ass. I’m thinking of buying him some spray tan next Christmas.

Nate and Dex are at home packing. We’re ordering pizza and watching movies over at Nate’s house tonight. I wish we could go to the movies together instead, but then we would have to worry about people seeing us together, and I would have to act as if Nate is only my best friend. The secrecy of it all is eating away at me.

Jimmie got a letter from Arizona State University the other day. It was one of his top five choices for college, and although he hasn’t formally said anything, I think he is planning on going there. I don’t know where I want to go yet. I haven’t spoken to Mom about it yet, but I am thinking of going to an art institute for photography. There is one in almost every big city, so my options are open on which one I attend.

I hear Mom calling me to dinner. Until next time.

Dear Diary:

The guys are gone, and I’m feeling empty without them around. I’ve picked up more shifts at the rink, but it’s not enough to keep my mind busy. Cammy is on a trip with her parents to Maine for the summer, which leaves me here alone with no one to hang out with. Yes, I would love some cheese with my whine. I’m in full pity party mode.

On another note, my mother has started dating. It’s weird seeing her go out with someone after all these years alone. She hums around the house and acts like a lovesick teenager. I love to see the permanent smile on her face. I haven’t met the guy yet, but she promises to make an introduction as soon as it becomes more serious.

Dad isn’t speaking to me, but I didn’t expect anything less. I’ve kept my word and won’t turn him in to the authorities, but that doesn’t mean I won’t stop karma form biting him in the ass. I let Nate send copies of the documents we uncovered to the families that Dad stole from. I figure it’s the least we could do and if they want to take Dad to court, then so be it.

Today is so hot. I took Peewee to the beach this morning for a short run. The little man loves water. He was covered in sand when we got home, so I gave him his first bath. And god, does he snore! The sounds coming out of him could wake the dead.

Break time is almost over, so I better get back to work. Till next time.

Dear Diary:

So much has happened since our last chat. Where to begin? For starters, Lindsey’s boyfriend has started coming up to work. You know who I’m talking about right? Nicholas!!!!

I don’t know what to do. If I tell the CW Boys, one of two things will happen. They will either demand that I quit my job, or they will skip out on their soccer camp and come home to beat his ass. I can’t let that happen.

I don’t have a problem quitting my job as long as I have another one lined up. I’ve been asking around and have put in a few applications, but I haven’t gotten a callback. Nicholas hasn’t done anything to raise the alarm. I tried talking to Seth, but that was a joke. He said that I needed to stop bitching and man up. I find it strange that Lacey must stay away from me, but Nicholas is free to walk around as he pleases. I guess the law around here doesn’t think attempted rape and drugging someone qualifies you as a bad person. Until things change, I’ve started carrying pepper spray with me.

On another note, I miss the guys something terrible. We FaceTime almost every night, but it’s not the same as having them here with me. Dex said that top college coaches have been showing up to watch them play. All their hard work is finally paying off. I’m proud of them.

Mom says that I need to buckle down and start getting serious about college. I know she means well, but I’m not ready to make that decision yet. Every time I start looking at brochures I get teary eyed knowing that the guys and I will more than likely go our separate ways after graduation.

Wait…

Peewee just chewed up mom’s slipper. Got to go. Until next time.

July 21

Dear Diary:

Two days until my family will be back together. Mom is going to pick up Nate, Dex, and Jimmie from the airport when they arrive. I offered to go with her, but she’s heading straight there after work, so I’ll meet them at the house. I can’t wait.

It feels like forever since I saw them. Cammy is back and rocking a dark tan. I was worried about how her mother would do on the trip, but Cammy reassured me that she took her medicine the entire time, relaxed, and had very few anxiety flare-ups. I’m glad that things went so well. Due to her mother being bi-polar, the last time they enjoyed a family vacation was when she was six, and they took her to Disney World.

I did something the other night that is entirely out of character for me. Despite the rumors Lacey likes to spread, I’m not very experienced in the bedroom. I mean, Dex was my first and only and that was less than a year ago. While on FaceTime, Dex and Nate talked me into having phone sex. I was scared and reluctant at first. Then they started directing me on things to do, and one thing led to another. I’m not going to lie, it was hot! Just listening to Dex’s sultry voice commanding me and Nate’s sexy moans were enough to send me over the edge.

The whole experience was a wake-up call to what he, Nate, and I are skirting around. If phone sex is scary for me, then how will I
