Liam threw on a large Black hoodie and put on some red vans before rushing downstairs and leaving the house.

His mom and dad were away for the summer so Liam was home alone.

He put in his headphones and grabbed his skateboard.

The song ' dirty laundry' by black ear was playing and a smile grew on Liam's face.
This was his and his moms favourite song.
God how he missed his parents.

He wasn't paying attention where he was going and his skateboard hit the pavement sending him flying.

Only to be caught by someone, they obviously were active because Liam could feel the muscles on this guy.

He took out his headphones and leaned back to look at the guy.

'Are you okay?.... Liam?'
It was theo.
'Uh yeah thanks... theo right?'
'The one and only' he replies with a smirk.
Liam let's out a little chuckle and grabs his board.
' you skate?' Theo asks.
' yeah I do, it's kinda my passion.' Liam explains.
' awesome me too, I kinda left my board back in new York' theo shrugs.
' I have a spare one' Liam smiles at the taller brunette and smiles.
Theo nods and returns the smile.
' follow me raken' Liam gets on his board.
' hey your gonna skate off in front of me' theo fake frowns and Liam chuckles again.
' well I will help you keep up' he grabs Theo's hand and intertwines their fingers.
He looks up to theo who is a cute shade of red.
He was blushing.
'y-yeah Okay' Theo smiles at Liam causing him to blush along with Theo.

They arrive at the entrance of the woods and Liam gets off his board and walks into the dark foggy woods with Theo, still holding hands.

They get to a random tree and decide to sit down.

Theo and Liam realise they are still holding hands, but none of them move, they just stare into each other's eyes.

'I've got an idea' Liam lays down and gestures theo to do the same,
Theo lays down and they are both looking into the night sky.
' let all your thoughts be heard' Liam tells theo while rubbing circles on Theo's palm with his thumb.
' I'm gay, and I get bullied a lot but I don't care because I have my friends by my side' Liam smiles and Theo takes a deep breath
' well I'm a failure... it's my fault my parents are dead' Theo blurs without hesitation.
Liam looks to theo and hears small sobs.
He sits up and takes theo into his arms.
'Shhh I'm here for you' Liam reassures him while holding him tight.
' I- I was 5 I d-dropped my toy onto th-the tracks-
Liam cut him off
' you don't have to tell me if your not ready theo' he pulls Theo's face into his hands.
' no I want to' theo smiles weakly as Liam wipes Theo's tears.
'Okay' Liam smiles softly ' I'm listening'
' I dropped my toy on to the train tracks... I, the idiot I am jumped down to grab it little did I know a train was coming, my dad realised and jumped down to grab me, I got out in time but... my dad didnt' he starts to cry again and Liam pulls him into another embrace.
' my mom always blamed me... and she was right it was my fault, a few months later she hung herself... I've been with my aunty ever since.'
Theo breaks down into Liam's arms leaving his shirt wet.
' look at me theo'
Theo follows Liam's demand.
' it's NOT your fault okay. You were young, you didn't know what was happening, don't ever blame yourself for this theo' Liam slightly yells at the end.
' Liam....'
' no! End of discussion' Liam demands before theo can say another word.

They both lay down again and Theo leans his head on Liam's chest.
Liam smiles and plays with Theo's hair.
They both slowly fall asleep in the big dark woods
But it's okay because they both felt safe in each other's arms.

OKAYHAN
this is a little bit sad for me to write but hey I did it!
