Placing his hands on the boy's chest Garret puts his CPR training to use, he pumps a couple of times but nothing changes. Realizing what he has to do, Garret stares at his face not wanting this to be how their lips touch for the first time. "Get over yourself Garret" he says then holds Porter's nose. Placing his mouth against Porter's, Garret continues to give him CPR and after a minute Porter coughs and water spills out of his mouth.

As he coughs sitting up, "Garret?" Porter questions seeing Garret leaned over him


"PORTER!" Elia screams running out of the house "babe what happened?!" He leans down "guys come help!" Everyone rushes to the backyard crowding Porter and pushing Garret away.

Soaking Garret watches them help him back into the house and he's left there, going in himself Garret walks past everyone heading for Harper. "Why the fuck are you wet?! The pools off limits"

"Porter passed out and fell in" Garret explains, "where's the laundry room?" "Is he ok?!" She gasps


Nodding "Elia and others took him away after I did all the work. Laundry room?"

"Through there" she points, "I have to go find him" then leaves her brother.


Going towards the room Garret opens it to find people kissing against the dryer, "um I need to use that" they walk out and he's left alone so he shuts the door. Taking off his wet jacket and shoes Garret throws them in the dryer followed by his pants hoodie and shirt. Left only in his underwear he looks around for something to cover himself and sees a robe hanging on the door. Putting it on he takes off his boxers throwing them in the dryer too.

He's stuck in there for the next 40 minutes waiting so he sits on the floor making himself comfortable. He saved Porter Jackson's life Garret thinks and smiles, not a lot of people can say that they saved their crushes life. Not that he expected a thank you but he didn't get the reaction he was expecting when Elia found them, not even a thanks for saving his boyfriend which he was too drunk

to do. How could no one notice him drunk in the backyard? Garret is kind of happy it was him who found Porter, gives them a reason to talk again.

Almost half an hour has passed and no one bothered to come look for him, Garret doesn't mind being alone in the laundry room though.

With so much happening out there he'd be fine staying in there until midnight when it's time to leave. It was almost time to leave anyway

Standing up to check his clothes Garret is caught off guard when the door opens and Porter walks in. He's surprised as he watches the boy walk in and shut the door behind him, Garret doesn't even know the meaning of act natural so there is no point in him telling himself to try and do so. "Hey" he greets when Porter stops in front of him

He doesn't know what Porter is thinking but he knows what's happening and still couldn't believe it. Porter wraps his arms around Garret hugging him tightly, "thank you" Porter starts "I would've drowned if you weren't there."

Garret's heart is racing as Porter touches him and as much as he fights it he couldn't help thinking, "I'm so naked under this robe." The panic settles in but instead of finding what he said weird Porter just laughs

"Thank god that's my dad's robe" he replies standing in front of the nervous boy, "seriously Garret I can't think of how to repay you for that."

Try not to let how close Porter is standing bother him, Garret asks "are you ok?" Porter nods with a smile "I am now."

Garret has never been kissed, so he doesn't know what the look is but that's what Porter was giving

him. Next thing he knows Porter's lips are on His, this was his moment what he's dreamt about since the moment they met and Porter said cool shirt.

Bracing themselves against the wall, Porter doesn't disappoint as a first kiss, how is it possible that Garret can feel this sensation in his knees?

Hearing the knob they quickly pull away turning to Harper who walks in. "Hey, Elia's looking for you" she says to Porter. Not looking at Garret, Porter quickly walks out, trying not to seem out of breath or stunned by what just happened Garret looks at the dryer with only 5 minutes left on it. "We need to head out soon it's almost midnight"

Garret gulps nodding, "my clothes are almost done"

"Ok" Harper stares at her brother noticing the dumbfounded look on his face, "what's up with you?" Quickly shaking his head, "nothing" he lies "I'll find Reggie and leave soon."

"Whatever" she walks out still able to tell he's acting weird.

The moment she's gone Garret sinks to the floor, "what the fuck?" He chuckles covering his face.
