~Chapter 7~

Christian sat in the passenger seat of Shea’s truck as they drove to Henry’s house for Michael and Adalyn’s first birthday party. Henry was throwing a big pool party/barbeque with their family, Claire’s father, and Raelynn’s family. Christian and Shea were going on their fifth month together and everything was going great. Shea was completely moved into Christian’s house. He was able to sell his house fairly quickly since it was in such good shape and in a desirable area. And no one - other than Margot - knew that Christian was gay, or had any idea that he and Shea were more than best friends. If they did, no one let on that they knew.

“Ya know, today would be a good day to tell everyone about us,” Shea murmured as if he knew what Christian was thinking.

“No, no it wouldn’t.” Christian snorted.

Shea frowned at him. “Why not? Everyone will be there, and you will only have to say it once.”

“They don’t even know that I’m gay. I can’t just come out with, “Hey, guess what? Shea’s my boyfriend,” Christian said, incredulously.

Shea scrubbed an aggravated hand over his short hair. “I just don’t understand why you don’t tell them.” He grunted.

“Because, Shea, if they decide that they can’t handle me being gay and don’t want me in their lives, that will be the end of me,” Christian said quietly.

He would not be able to live without his brothers and family, he knew that for a fact.

“Do you even know your own brothers? They will not disown you for being gay, Christian,” Shea argued.

“I’m just not ready, alright?” Christian sighed.

“You always say that. Are you ever going to be ready?” Shea asked with a disgusted snort.

“Dammit, Shea! You don’t understand! You have nothing to lose! Your family is gone!” Christian snapped, wishing immediately that he could take it back.

Shea’s face hardened and he sent Christian a cold glare. “Your family is my family, so I would lose them, too, if they decided to disown you - which they won’t - so I have plenty to lose,” he replied bitterly.

Christian nodded in agreement, acknowledging Shea was right about him being an honorary Beck.

“You’re right, but today is not the day,” Christian said tightly as they pulled up Henry’s long driveway.

Shea parked and Christian moved to open the door, but Shea grabbed his arm. Christian turned to look at him, his heart dropping into his stomach when he saw the sad look on Shea’s face.

“I’m giving you a week. If you don’t tell them by the end of next week, then I’m done. I will pack up my shit and leave,” Shea said, his voice low and serious.

Christian’s eyes widened slightly. “You don’t mean that,” he hissed.

Shea let him go. “Try me. I love you, Chris, but I’m not willing to live in hiding my whole life.”

“You can’t be serious.” Christian frowned.

Shea shook his head. “I don’t want to hide anymore. This party is going to suck for me because I have to keep my distance from you, act like I’m not in love with you.
