[Phil's POV]
"But it's not!" I yell.
"Of course it is!" Mum yells.
"How is it my fault? I didn't chose to be gay!"
"Stop shouting at your mother!" Steve snaps.
My phone starts to ring, it's Dan.
"This isn't a great time to talk" I tell him, urgently.
"Okay. Are you okay?" he asks.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. But I really need to go"
"But earlier, you know when you-" gosh Dan! I really need him to go, my mum and Steve are yelling at me.
"DAN, I HAVE TO GO!" I half shout.
"Okay, bye Phil"
"Bye Dan, love you" I say the last part really quietly, I don't want mum to hear.
"LOVE YOU?" Mum shouts.
"I'M 22! I CAN DO WHAT I WANT AND I CAN LOVE WHO I WANT!"
"NO YOU CANNOT! LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER!" Steve orders.
"I WILL NOT LISTEN TO MY MUM!" I shout back "I LOVE DAN AND THERE'S NOTHING,I MEAN NOTHING, YOU CAN DO ABOUT THAT!"
It feels great to say that. To be open about my feelings.
Steve lunges forward and slaps me, hard. I scream in pain and fall to the ground, injuring my back. His boot connects with my temple multiple times, as my mum cries.
"Listen to your mother next time" I hear the man say through clenched teeth.
I lay in darkness for a few minutes, maybe hours, before I fall into swirling darkness, alone.
