Chapter 151 - Makai - Revelation

Makai

~~

When Justin had grabbed a hold of Ocean, I was pissed. I wanted to go and beat the shit out of him immediately. I couldn't, though, thanks to the fucking assholes that were blocking my way. The five of them were literally holding me and Ben back from Justin and Ocean. I was about to lose it all together and just start punching them all, that was until Ocean stood up for himself and made that a moot point.

"What the hell do you want from me, Justin? Huh? What the hell is it that you think you're going to accomplish?" I saw the rage in his eyes and knew that he was done sitting back and letting all of this just happen to him.

"What do I want to accomplish? Huh, let's see. I want to make you miserable. So miserable that you quit the team, possibly school and life all together. I refuse to let you stay on my swim team. I don't want to have to worry about what you are going to do while in the locker room with me. I don't want your sorry ass anywhere near me when I am practicing or competing." He was literally telling him that he wanted to ruin his life and even make him kill himself.

"Could you sound more homophobic? Do you know what this sounds like to me Justin? It sounds to me like you're in love with me and jealous that I am not with you. That the rumors have me with Makai and not you."

"Fuck you!" Justin screamed into Ocean's face.

"Leave me alone." 

When Ocean was trying to leave, and push past Justin, he was pushed back against the locker again. I saw the pain flash in my boyfriend's eyes and the smear of blood that ended up on the gray metal behind him. That was when Ocean punched Justin in the face, hard enough to make him almost fall over. 

"Leave me the fuck alone, Justin. Just stop it." I had never seen Ocean that mad before. This was something truly new for me. 

"You're in for it now, Ocean." Brittney screamed at him as she attempted to coddle Justin. "I am going to be the witness for him. You'll be arrested, you're going to jail." She was standing next to Justin as he cradled his face.

"Well, I think I have a pretty good defense because of the harassment you two have been throwing at me."

"You're done for." Justin raised his arm and was about to hit Ocean when Coach Dickson showed up.

"JEFFRIES!"

"He hit me, Coach. This is just self defense." 

"Yeah, and that blood on the locker behind his head is just a colorful show of self expression, right? You have no idea how it got there, do you? Or how his shirt got ripped? You're lucky it's the weekend, or I would suspend your ass right now. As it is, Justin, I want you to go home now."

"But-."

"NOW!" Coach didn't give Justin the chance to argue back. "And you, Shores, go home. I can't have you getting hurt worse because of this. If you feel dizzy at all, go to the hospital. The rest of you, go home, practice is cancelled for today. Go, get out of here. Oh, and Justin." Coach called after him as he started to walk away with Brittney. "I may not be suspending you right now, but I am going to be talking to the principal about this, we will see you on Monday."

It had all happened in the span of just a couple of minutes, but it was definitely a tense and infuriating couple minutes. 

As soon as the crowd around us started to disperse, I went to Ocean's side. I couldn't be overly concerned since we were at school, but he had been injured and I wanted to make sure he was OK.

"Hey, how's your head?" That was something that a friend would ask, right?

"It's fine. I didn't even notice it was bleeding until the coach said something about it. I'm fine, it's all good. Don't worry."

"That's not a stance you should be taking, Ocean." Ben was worried about him as well. "You already had a major head injury this year, you don't want to get hurt and have it cause problems."

"Don't worry, I'll take it easy. But really, it's nothing." Ocean was probably right about it being nothing since we weren't human and healed quicker than other people. Still, I was worried about him and wanted to do something for him. Hell, I would have liked to hold his hand, kiss him, something. Anything. "Come on, let's go. Are you coming back to my place again?" Ocean asked Ben as he started to walk away.

"Yeah." Ben just nodded as he answered and followed along behind Ocean, who I could tell was very tense and angry.

"Ocean." Before I followed them, I whispered his name so quietly that I knew that no one was likely to hear it. 

"This isn't over." I heard Justin yelling from the other side of the door as I went to catch up to Ocean and Ben. I had just seen Ryan standing near the door watching them when I heard the voice. It made me stop the words that I was about to say and hurry out the door.

"Go away, Justin." Ben yelled at him this time. "Can't you see it's just you, Bitchney, and her little gang that are causing all these problems? You're not turning anyone else against us, it's just you relentless few. Come on, stop it already."

"Go fuck yourself, Ben." Brittney snapped at him. "Better yet, go fuck Ryan. That's what you want, isn't it? Though I see he's been ignoring you since he found out about it." She was sneering and laughing at Ben right now, and it was pissing Ocean off even more.

"What's it to you, Brittney? Huh? What does it matter what we do or who anyone else is dating or not dating? You're just pissed that I don't want anything to do with your toxic ass anymore. I'm done, got it, leave me alone." I was proud of my Ocean at that moment. He wasn't taking any more of their attitude right now.

"Just stop it, both of you. We're so over it right now." I added as I walked to stand on Ocean's right side.

"Oh, just go stuff it." Justin snapped at me. "No one wants a sausage lover like you on our team or in our school."

"Can't you see, Ocean? I am not mad that you won't take me back. I am mad that you left me for a fucking man." Brittney had tears in her eyes again, playing the victim. Almost the entire school was still in the parking lot as they watched on and not a single one of them were convinced by that display.

"Oh yes, I left you. That's why I made you tell me that I wasn't good enough for you as I laid in a hospital bed. That was such an evil dick move of mine. I don't know what I was thinking by doing that!" Several people laughed at the sarcasm in Ocean's voice as he said that. "Fine, Brittney. You want me to be honest with you? Do you all want me to be honest with you?"

I really didn't know what he was about to do here. I could see determination and anger filling Ocean's eyes and was about to stop him when he started to talk again.

"Ocean, don't-."

"I am happy as all fucking hell that you dumped me. It took that for me to see what a fucking skanky piece of shit you were. Had I been with you long enough for you to have sex with me, I am sure that my dick would have fallen off. And guess what? It's true. I am dating Makai. We've been together since my birthday. Big shocker, huh. I don't know what to say other than seeing a truly vile and disgusting woman like you I was scared straight, or rather gay. I never wanted to look at or think about another woman in that way ever again. So, thank you, Brittney, for turning me gay. You could probably do it for any man. And I've been told that you could probably turn a lesbian straight as well. Congrats on that. Now, if you'll excuse me."

After that, I thought Ocean was just going to walk down the steps and to the car. However, that was not what he did. No, what he did instead shocked the hell out of me.

Ocean turned to face me, a smirk on his lips and excitement in his eyes. He grabbed my shirt and pulled me toward him.

Our lips pressed together hard as he kissed me passionately. I gasped from the shock of it, and he took advantage of the slight parting of my lips. After he slipped his tongue into my mouth my shock had passed enough for me to grab Ocean's hips and start to kiss him back.

"OH MY GOD!" Brittney screamed.

"That's fucking sick!" Justin made gagging noises. However, they were the only reactions like that.

"YEAH! GET IT OCEAN!" Cassie cheered.

"GO OCEAN! GO OCEAN!" Katie chanted.

"OH MY GOD! THAT IS FUCKING HOT!" Alexis sounded like she was about to pass out.

"YEAH! DON'T BE AFRAID OCEAN!" Several of the guys from the team started to cheer and show their support for us as well.

"HAHA! I can't believe he just went for it." Another guy from the team laughed but he was clapping.

"What the hell is happening here?" Justin was sounding pissed off and angry when he asked the gathered crowd that question.

"Don't you all see that this is wrong?" Brittney added.

"You're the only ones that are wrong." Ben snapped at them as Ocean finally stopped kissing me. We were both breathing heavily when we turned to look back at the two assholes that were causing all this trouble.

"There, now you all know. You can stop trying to cause problems because of it." Ocean shrugged his shoulders and started walking. "Satisfied?"

"You're so disgusting." Brittney looked like she was on the verge of tears.

"No, Brittney, you are. What really is disgusting is your attitude. So shut up and drop it." Alexis stepped in front of her.

"And we will testify that Justin assaulted Ocean first. So, you all better not try anything with him. Got it?" Katie stepped up as well.

"Yeah."

"Just drop it."

"Leave it alone." Several other people that had been present started to support us as well. I saw the relieved smile that spread across Ocean's face as he saw that. He was truly happy to have their support, and so was I.

Finally, we were able to go. The three of us went to get in my car and I drove us back to mine and Ocean's place.. Thank God this day was over.
