Enoch started walking after Jayden and he noticed that Bailey, Lucas and Jacob were behind him. They eventually found Jayden behind the surfer shack. "Hey I'm sorry I took it too far." Lucas said timidly. Jayden just glanced at him. "Just come back when your ready, ok" Enoch said  before they all walked away. They sat back down had a few more beers and continued to play spin the bottle and It landed on Bailey. "What is your... body count?" Limak said. "Oh... 32?" Bailey said as if he was trying to count them all. "Damn, I knew you had Bitches but I didn't know you fucked that many!" Lucas said. Enoch noticed Jayden walking back and sitting down. "I'm still sorry about earlier." Lucas said sincerely to Jayden. "It's... ok I guess." Jayden said. Jacob spun it next and it landed on Enoch. "What's your biggest fear?" Jacob asked playfully. "Hmmmm. Probably being single forever." Enoch lied. It was actually half the truth but still. His actual biggest fear was being alone. "That's relatable. Like look at this body. Now, do you see any women?" Bailey joked. Then moutaz spun the bottle and it landed on Alyce, who was still drunk, "what's a secret about one of your brothers?" Moutaz asked Alyce intrigued. "Well I don't know *hiccup* why but *glug some more wine* Enoch is pretending he isn't gay." Alyce said drunkenly. Everyone stared at him except Tom and Jayden. "She's joking, right?" Limak said. "I'm not joking. He's in *glug wine* a relationship with Jayden." Alyce continued. "Jayden? What the fuck! I trusted a gay man?! you are both disgusting, gay, no good, inbred, slobs! Deceiving us like that! Trying to work into our ranks!" Bailey said standing extremely tall and looking super intimidating. Enoch stood up his boyfriend behind him. "Just let us leave, we're sorry we came!" Enoch said turning his back before feeling a blunt pain hit him square in the back making him fall over. "You don't just leave after messing with us." Bailey said spitting on Jayden. Enoch stood up like a flash, punched Bailey in the eye, then tackled him to the ground. "Shut the fuck up! You talk like your some god compared to us. We're obviously just mere mortals to you privileged straight men!" Enoch said losing his temper and punching Bailey repeatedly. "Fight! Fight! Fight!" The others chanted making a ring around them. "Shut the fuck up!" Enoch yelled at them before continuing to beat Bailey up. Then Bailey flung some sand in his eye and tackled him to the ground. Enoch lifted him off his body, obviously being more muscular while Bailey was more lean. He choked Bailey with one hand and punched him with the other until Jacob and Tom had to break it up. It took both of them to carry Enoch away still yelling and cursing. He was just so enraged with him he couldn't deal with it.

A FEW MINUTES LATER:

Jayden was completely shocked at what he just witnessed. His boyfriend, the same funny, kind man who liked books, beating a person to a pulp and screaming his head off as he was dragged away like some insane nut head. Jayden had only seen Enoch act like this once. They were in high school and a school fight started. Jayden was the one fighting and he was getting smashed into a locker bye a jock. He didn't remember much but he did remember Enoch beating the same kid like he did to Bailey. It was frightening but he was also happy he wasn't getting shoved into a locker anymore. During the drive home Enoch was completely silent, not letting out a word and still having bruises. He obviously won the confrontation but Jayden was still a little worried. They got home, went through the door and went to bed. Enoch sat under the covers. "Look you didn't have to get in a fight over me. You could of just taken the hit and walked away." Jayden said. "I know, I know but he just made me so angry. The audacity of some people!" Enoch said frustrated. "I get it but just try not to get into anymore fights. Especially if your not in shape." Jayden replied before giving him a peck on the cheek and turning of the lights.
