Beginnings and Ends

It was raining that day. Like only it can in Brisbane. Sheens called a premature halt to training and the boys had trudged off to the lockers, wet and muddy already. Billy was lagging behind all the boys and just before he entered the tunnel leading to the rooms he turned around. And there he was. Standing in the pouring rain in the middle of the ground. Looking up at the goals. Ready to kick for goal.

"I know my actions have hurt people. One more than any other. And I know that this doesn't make it right. But-"Johnathan looked straight at the camera and Billy watched, transfixed by the man who had just thrown himself off a cliff, "I need you to know that I never meant to hurt you. I know you'll never forgive me," There were tears in Johnathan's eyes, "I love you." 

"Billy" Johnathan's voice whispered in his ear. Billy looked at him. The dark hair was a messy halo around his head. Billy lifted up a hand to touch the stray strands. It was now or never. He leaned forward and kissed him. This was his dream.
