37

When I managed to finally slow my breathing I sank down beside Calum

We are really in some deep shit now

I looked over at him and noticed he was crying

I wrapped my arm around him in an attempt to comfort him

He quickly laid his head on my shoulder and silently cried

We stayed like that for a little while until the lights went out again

It scared both of us

Calum grabbed my hand

Footsteps were heard

Calum attempted to peek through the clothing that was hanging up on the rack

He shook his head signalling that it was useless

He plopped down beside me and we kinda just sat there

We didn't know what to do

My heart jumped out of my chest when we saw the shine of a flash light

It seemed to be pointing directly at us

Calum tightened the grip he had on my hand

It's like he knew it was over for us

If the person holding the flashlight was Luke, we are most definitely dead

It was at this moment

My mind went completely blank

The clothing rack was snatched away

And Calum screaming was the last thing I heard

As for the last thing I saw,

Was actually something I found quite surprising

All this time

How could I have been so blind?

(Flashback time)

I walked quickly in any direction possible

All I knew was that I didn't want to stay another god forsaken minute in that house

Why was it always so hard for teenagers who were gay?

It's not like I even asked for this shit

Now I'm homeless

My vision became blurry with tears and my mind was fuzzy from frustration

I saw a nearby bench and looked around to make sure no one saw me

I laid down and kind of reflected on life

I can't go back to school

I can't go back home

My father will literally kill me if I did

All I can really do is ask myself, why me?

I've been good all this time

I rested my head on my backpack and sobbed until I fell asleep
