River's POV

''What about Noah, isn't he coming down?'' I asked as I saw Elliot coming down to the kitchen by himself. I had been cooking for a Sunday roast, which we had every week. 

''No, he's not feeling like socializing'' Elliot said while looking at the table as he sat down, not getting eye contact with me as he spoke. 

''Well here, you can bring him some food upstairs before we start eating'' I said as I finished putting food on one of the plates. I continued putting food on the other plates as Elliot went upstairs to give Noah his food.

Brett was at his first Sunday roast since he had moved and my mother and father were visiting us as they do every Sunday for the roast. ''Noah, is that the sweet boy from the barbeque?'' my mother asked as I handed her the plate.

''Yes, he's been sleeping over here tonight. Elliot didn't tell me the reason, he just informed me that Noah was sleeping in his room when I and Hunter came back home from our date last night.''

Elliot came back down as I had put all the filled plates down on the table and we were ready to eat.

Elliot was clearly sad at the dining table. He did not really eat that much and just sat boring holes in his plate, moving his vegetables around on his plate. ''What's wrong honey, you haven't touched your food'' I ask looking towards my little boy. 

''Noah came out to his mother'' Elliot said, now looking up and into my eyes.

''That's great honey, but why are you sad'' I asked, still a little bit confused. Why would he be sad that his friend had the courage to come out. Didn't it go well?

''She didn't take it very well and told him that as long as he is pursuing that lifestyle he wouldn't be welcome in their house'' Elliot replied as he tried a tear from his cheek. I got up from my chair and held around him.

It was quiet for a minute before I decided to ask ''as bad as the consequences are, I hope that lovely boy choose to stay true to himself'', a tear fell down Elliot's cheek once again.

''He did, but he's now told to find a new place at the end of next week''. Before I could have the chance to suggest that Noah could live at our house, Brett had his own suggestion. 

''He can stay at my new place, the rent is not the cheapest and it would help to split it up'' Elliot looked shocked at Brett and wiped his tears away ''are you serious?'' Elliot started to form a small smile on his mouth. Brett smiled back ''yeah, and it won't hurt with the company.''

Elliot was so happy that he got up from his chair to hug Brett ''Brett, you're the best, Noah will be so happy to hear that he has somewhere to stay''. Elliot ran upstairs to tell Noah, forgetting all about the Sunday roast.

''Elliot, your food?'' I said but didn't get a reply before I heard him excitedly enter his bedroom, to tell his friend the good news. 

I smiled at Brett. ''That was a very friendly gesture of you Brett.'' I had the best two children. Proud of how good they turned out.

''I guess, but it only felt right'' He said, smiling as he took another bite.

''Don't feel pressured to invite him to live at your place, Noah can have old your room here you know?'' I reassured him. There was definitely enough room for him to stay here. especially now that Brett wasn't even living here and his room was empty.

''No, it's really fine. Noah is a cool guy and I could honestly benefit from the company''. He said and I was so proud that I got behind him and hugged him. He had honestly turned into such a lovely man. Hopefully, Noah will notice that too if he decided to move in with Brett.

A/N: 

If you have read this book before today the 14th of October 2020, you would believe this book was finished. However, I have decided that I will continue this book since my follower JayKM1207 pointed out something for me. I ended this book to begin Noah and Brett's story and that gives no closure on Elliot and Aiden's story. Therefore I have decided to continue the book a little longer with some more chapters.

I will publish the rest of this book from the 25th of November, after Living With My Friend's brother [BxB] is finished. I have planned that this book continues after the summer holiday which just started and Living With My Friend's brother [BxB] is a short story during the summer so I think this is a smart move.

Hope some of you (hopefully all of you) are happy that I decided to not end this book quite yet and that for those of you who are currently reading Living With My Friend's brother [BxB] is enjoying that book as well!

Also thank you all for the love you've been showing this book, it truly gives me motivation to continue a little longer!
