I’m straight but something happened between me and a gay friend

Something happened between me and a mate (who is gay) but I’m straight. Now he won't stop calling or texting me and I'm scared people at school will find out.

Something happened between me and a mate (who is gay) but I’m straight. At the time I was under the influence of alcohol and confused. After it happened he told his close mates, and I felt scared of it spreading round school even though he said we can just deny it. Then he started getting messages off him saying how he will never forgive me and how much I’ve hurt him by what I’ve done. For a week I got texts every day off him with a different mood.

I started to feel anxious and desperate. I was throwing up every day before school because I was so nervous and felt pressured by him. The worry of it became too much to handle.

I decided to talk to him

The way I resolved it was talking to my friend so he understood my situation of not being gay, and I understood his and we resolved the issue between us making sure that no one else needs to get involved. Also I spoke to the people who knew to discuss what happened (it took a while to build the courage up) and he also spoke to those who he told. And all we did was talk to them about the situation and they thankfully understood because I was close to them personally to and they stood by me and helped us.
