SILENT ASYLUM

THE CLOSET

HARDY's POV:
I sat in the bed still shocked at what just occurred .

Kevin actually apologized , he actually does love me .

Is this the new beginning I've been praying endless nights for?

Is this the new start I needed?

"I'm never letting anybody in again."

That thought repeated in my mind.

That's the thought I vowed to stand by after Kevin broke my heart .

How do I know this isn't just a game sent by Will?

How do I know that I won't get hurt again?

I tossed and turned in the bed wondering if I should take this risk.

I looked at the clock and noticed that's it's 10:30pm.

It's late I really should get some sleep.

As I fluffed my pillow and got comfortable Josh came in the room with annoyed look on her face.

I carefully sat up and said-"Hey!"

He didn't even looked at me.

I then said-"I wanted to thank you for saving me back there , it was very kind of you."

He then looked up at me with the same annoyed look.

I then asked-"Is something wrong?"

He then said-"I heard what you and Kevin were talking about."

I then awkwardly said-"Umm ok."

He just stood there staring at me .

He then said-"Why would he even ask you if you love me?"

I then chuckled and said-"He claimed it's the way I look at you."

He then tenses up and walked towards and said-"Bro I'm not a faggot."

For some odd weird reason.

That hurt me.

That hurt me a lot.

I don't know why but it did.

Josh seemed so sweet and caring , why was he being so harsh?

He then held the back of his neck and said-"He didn't talk about you looking at me to anybody else did he?"

I then said in a quiet tone-"Um I don't think so."

He then sighed in relief and said-"Good , I don't want anybody in this place to think I'm a fag."

Well I should've expected that.

Obviously any friend of Will is going to be an asshole.

He then began to take off his shoes and socks and say-"I think I'm gonna sleep on the floor tonight."

I then stood up and said-"No you can have the bed."

I took up my phone and began walking out the room.

He then asked-"Why? We're are you going? Did I offend you?"

I ignored him and exited the room.

As I'm walking throw the dark halls I can still hear him shouting my name.

I felt embarrassed to even be in front of Josh.

Am I that shameful?

He seemed so scorned by me.
