Shrignolds pov:
I opened the door to see my mom standing there holding my diary, looking furious.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS" she yelled
"M-my diary..." I stuttered
"ARE YOU A FAGGOT?" She screamed
"U-um yea I guess I a-am" I said
"NO SON OF MINE WILL BE GAY" she shouted before hitting me
She had thrown my book across the room and was fully focused on hitting me again. I tried to get back up but she kicked me.
"are you too weak to get up fag?" She asked
I stayed silent and still in the floor hoping she would leave it alone. She did eventually which is when I took the chance to grab my diary and run upstairs into my room.
I threw it at the wall and collapsed in the floor. 'What's wrong with you. You should've known better than been gay. Everything you do is wrong. Everyone hates you. They want you dead. You're the reason mom drinks. You're the reason dad left.'
I felt my breathing fasten until it felt like I couldn't control it. It didn't even feel like I was breathing. I thought I was going to die right then and there. I focused on my breathing and tried hard to calm down. After a while I finally did. I climbed onto my dead and hugged my knees before crying myself to sleep.

"HellooOoooooOoooOoOoo" Collin was saying over me.
"Did you take over Tony's job now?" I asked
"No he just hates waking you up so he sent me! Collin retorted
   "Ok well you can leave now" I said
   "Alright byeeEe" Collin said
Collin slammed the door shut as I got out of bed to get ready for the day. I felt really low energy today but I knew I had to since I was hanging out w Larry today
Pretty soon after I was ready I heard a knock on the door and saw Larry.
"Hey! Ready to discuss the cult today!" I asked
"Of course!" He replied
" I talked with him about other members and just anything I could think about, avoiding the homophobic part of course.
We started talking about favorite movies for so incredibly long we didn't even hear Steve call for dinner and we ended up missing it entirely.
"We could always make our own?" I suggest
"I can't cook so you can" he told me
   " what do you want then??" I asked
"A bagel." He replies
Toasted or not?" I asked
"Not toasted" he said
"Any butter/cream cheese?" I ask
"No" he said
   " Then just get yourself a fucking bagel!" I joked with him
We started laughing even though that was perhaps one of the most stupid jokes to ever be made. We both had Un toasted bagels and just vibed until I looked to my side and saw he was asleep on my shoulder. We were in my bed talking and I'm too weak to carry him so I just tucked him into my bed.
He looks so peaceful sleeping. Almost... kinda cute? NO you can't be feeling that again! What would Malcom think? I decided to not sleep because I don't want to dream again.

(Time skip also a sort of time lapse because I have to do 4 more days and I don't wanna write a lot)

I woke Larry up before 8 so he could go back to his room and no one else would see him. He seemed a bit confused but complied anyways
Eventually Collin came in to wake me and then left when he saw I was already awake. I decided not to eat breakfast since I had a bagel last night. Eventually Larry knocked on my door and we hung out, the same thing happened today and the next day and the day after that, for about a week. It was Sunday when things changed
It started Saturday night we had done the same thing as always, had a bagel went in my room and then he'd fall asleep. I hadn't slept In a long time so I decided I would tonight. Which meant I would have to sleep in the same bed as Larry
I had no bad dreams that night it was weird. It was also rly comforting to have Larry next to me. That all crumbled in the morning though
I hadn't woken before 8 and Collin walked in and saw us sleeping in the same bed.
"What's he doing in here?" Collin asked
"Oh uhm nothing" I respond
"That's definitely not the case but whatever just wake him up" he said before leaving
"Larry wake upPPpPP" I said
He did eventually and left my room

Larry pov (omg we're changing pov)
"What were u doing in there?" Collin asked
"Oh I joined his cult thing so he teaches me about it then we hang out!" I said
"You do know he's extremely homophobic right?" He asked
"What, no he's no-"
"Yes he is, he told me and Tony he could "fix us" when we told him we were dating, he's probably trying to get you to be like that too"
"I had no idea I'm sorry, I won't hang out with him anymore if he's homophobic! That for sure."
I walk back into shrigs room and break the news
"Shrig I can't be apart of the cult anymore, and I don't think we should hang out anymore.
"What? Why?" He asked
"I've been told you're homophobic and I can't surround myself with people like you."
"Malcom says it's wrong though! He can teach you the correct way! He'll help you find your special one! Please stay" he pleaded
"Shrig I'm gay, my special someone won't be a girl I can't be a part of this, or be around you."
"Ok fine. Leave." He snapped
"Quit being such a prick, I'm not the homophobe! Your the one in the wrong! You're sick."
I left and slammed the door behind me. What's wrong with him? I thought to myself.

Shrig pov
No. No. No. no he can't leave. He CANT. Tomorrow is the meeting. I'm going to have to have a consequence. What will he decide? How disappointed will he be? How mad will he be? I hate to admit it but I'm terrified for tomorrow. Malcom has always been a bit harsh in punishments, but maybe since I'm so high up he won't be too mad?
Only time can tell I guess. I lay on my bed and just stare at the ceiling until I eventually fell asleep.

[I feel like I changed Larry's personality halfway through him arguing with Shrig but it's probably fineEEEe. Hope you guys are enjoying the book!]
