We get to my house and go inside.
"Sophia? What are you doing home so--Parker?" my dad asks.
"Is it cool if he crashes here for awhile"
"Um, sure. Why?"
"His parents are trying to send him to conversion therapy"
"Which is...?"
"They fuck up perfectly good queer kids. Look it up, it's bad"
"Oh. Well, please make yourself at home, Parker"
"Thank you, sir" Parker says.
"Come upstairs. We have to talk" I tell him and start heading to my room. We sit on my bed
"I feel like this is serious" he tells me
"It is"
"Okay. What is it about?"
"Ben" he stays quiet and I take that as a que to keep going "you know Bens ex, Thomas, right?" I ask "the one you outed?" He looks down but nods "well he's back" his head shoots up at this
"What does that mean?"
"He's back and doing the same thing he used to. He was abusing Ben. Maybe not physically but verbally. He's trying to make Ben cut out everyone in his life"
"You're kidding me right? Is that why he's not answering my texts?"
"Yeah"
"We're going to his house right now"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Sophia, I'm sure. Now get up"
"Ok ok, I'm coming"

Parkers POV
We get to his house and I run inside, Sophia following close behind.
"Benjamin Alexander Hills! Get your ass out here!" I yell.
"Parker? What the hell?" Carson asks.
"Where is that stupid brother of yours?"
"He said he was going out. Someone named....I don't remember. He had the same name as his ex.....Tomas! That's his name"
"And you didn't stop him?"
"Why would I?"
"You don't just let someone go see their ex if they haven't spoken in 3 years!"
"Wait...Tomas is Tomas?"
"Yes, Carson"
"Shit. By the way, did he tell you guys if he was mad at me or something?"
"How the hell does he plan on cutting out his brother?"
"What?"
"Sophia, explain. I'm gonna call Ben" I say and get out my phone.
"He's not gonna answer" Sophia says.
"It can't hurt to try" I say and call him.
Ben: hello?
Me: what the fuck do you think you're doing?
Ben: um homework?
Me: where are you?
Ben: ......Bree's
Me: Ben
Ben: nowhere just chill ok?
Me: Ben.....please don't do anything dumb ok?
Ben: Parker....
Me: I love you
Tomas (in background): babe? Who are you talking to? Come back to bed
Me: Ben, please tell me I didn't hear that.....
Ben: Paker, I'll explain later
Tomas (in background): get off the fucking phone, take your pants off, and get on your hands and knees
I hang up the phone and throw it on the ground, cracking the screen. I sit down on the floor and put my head in my hands.
"Parker, what happened?" Sophia asks bending down next to me.
"I'm gonna kill Tomas" I say.
"What did he do?" Carson asks.
"I'm pretty sure he's forcing Ben to do things" I say.
"How do you know?" Sophia asks.
"The sound in Bens voice, the way Tomas talks to him, plus.....Ben doesn't bottom. Ever" I explain.
"TMI man. TMI" Carson grimaces.
