Chapter 5

Chapter contains homophobic content/slurs

*Blaine POV*
I rested my hand on top of Riley's dark blue hair, holding his head against my chest. I sighed, knowing that there was another letter waiting for him, having arrived just after dinner. After his response to the last one the only thing I wanted to do was burn the damned thing.

I watched his beautiful eyes flutter open, they were extremely red from all the crying he'd done. "Hey, love, how do you feel?" He gave nothing but a grunt in reply. "I got to talk to Griffin, but I'll be right back, okay?" He gave a small nod before his eyes closed again.

I gently pulled away from him, forcing myself to get off of the comfortable bed. I walked down the hallway and stairs to Griffin's office. I knocked gently before I opened the door. I smiled softly, seeing Eric curled up on Griffin's lap as he worked. "Riley is asleep. He wasn't doing too great, but I think we have to give him the other letter."

Griffin frowned, "I think you're right. Just... be there with him when he opens it, okay?" I nodded with a soft smile on my face. He handed me the letter and I made my way back upstairs.

*Riley POV*
I woke up to Blaine softly closing my bedroom door. In his hand was another letter. I instantly felt my breathing quicken, Blaine rushing to my side. "Hey, love, it's okay. I'll be here when you read it. Everything is going to be fine. I promise." I nod, gently taking the letter from him. I slowly opened it, not prepared for the content.

Disgrace,
You truly, truly disgust me. I worked too hard to make you perfect for you to be a fag. You're disgusting. I want absolutely nothing to do with you. I don't care what your mother says, you will never be welcome in my home ever again. Your mother and I can never love you. Who could? Your nothing but a mistake. It's better for everyone if you stay away from us. You are no longer our child.
-Your Former Father

I set the letter down, Blaine gently rubbing my back, having had read over my shoulder. I felt tears sting my eyes, but none fell. "Il a raison. I'm nothing but a mistake."

Blaine rested his head on my back, moving me so I was sitting in his lap. "If you're a mistake, you're the most beautiful mistake I've ever seen."

Tears rolled down my cheeks, my heart wanted to believe him, but my brain knew something else. I was everything they said I was. I didn't deserve to live in this gorgeous home, filled to the brim with handsome men. My chest felt empty, I couldn't feel anything. Not the warmth from Blaine, not the warm stream of tears running down my face  The only thing I could hear was my thoughts, thoughts of hurting myself, of running away, of how no one wanted me.

I was empty.
