I was shaking the gun still in my hand. I looked at him, bleeding. He was dead alright. What was I gonna tell Logan? I heard the sound of barking dogs in the distance they were getting closer. I dropped the gun and ran as fast as I could away from his body. I ran until I got to the local bar on Davis street. I walked into the bar, then soon realized everyone was staring at me. Looking down at my clothes I saw I was covered in blood. His blood.
1 month before...
" Hey Daniel, get up you're gonna be late for school" Logan yelled as he pulled the covers off of me.
" Oh my god, can you just let me sleep in for ten more minutes school doesn't start till like 9:40. It's only 9:20 calm down." I said while picking up my blanket from the floor and falling back to sleep.
I woke up 15 minutes later. I got all of my stuff and walked out the door. Logan flipped me off on the way out. Walking through the halls I see Thomas and Lilly making out in front of my locker, I ignore them and make my way to AP Chem. Mr. Jackson absolutely hates me last week he gave me a detention for no fucking reason. After class walking through the halls I see Thomas walking towards me. I turn into the bathroom and hope he didn't see me. Last time he tried to talk to me, I ended up leaving the conversation with a black eye. He has at least 2 new girlfriends every other week.
"Hey Daniel wait up!" Thomas yells
" What do you want Thomas?" I respond with an annoyed tone in my voice. I really didn't want to hear what he had to say. Plus the bell had already rang for second hour, I couldn't afford to be late again." How's your brother? His name is Logan right?" He asked
Thomas always asks about my brother. It's a little weird to be honest, last time I checked my brothers instagram account he was following Thomas's account. Logan doesn't know much about Thomas except for when I talk shit about him.
" Why do you wanna know about my brother?" I replied harshly
" I want to know how your brother is because he's a cool dude. Can I not do that? Is it against the law or somethin? " Thomas said while crossing his arms.
" No, it's not now if you don't mind I need to get the class." I picked up my book bag and walked past him.
" Hey, Call me sometime" He handed me a piece of paper.I took it unlocked the door and headed to class. I just wanted this day to be over. I stuck the piece of paper in the back of my phone case. Walking into second hour I saw someone new in the seat next to mine. I didn't think anything of it and sat down.
" Good Morning everyone, We have a new student with us today. His name is Ben, everyone say Hello. Try to be kind to him. If he looks like he needs help offer to help him out. Alright now that we have that out of the way let's continue from where we left off yesterday." Ms. Rose said
I noticed he had a pin on his bag that said " Gay is a sin" I was still struggling with my sexual identity. Whatever it's fine.After school...
" Logan I'm home! Logan? Uh he must be working late." I set my bag on the hook near the door.I took out my phone and found the piece of paper with Thomas's Number in it. Placing it in my phone I gave him the contact name of "Blue eyes" Nothing else, I didn't want to put his name just in case someone where to go through my phone. I later down on my phone and considered calling him. I decided not to. I set down my phone and got to work on my homework.
I finished my homework after 2 hours of working. I picked up my phone and went to contacts. I called Thomas's phone. The ringing echoed through my head." Hello?"
I couldn't reply. It was like my mouth decided not to work.
"Hello? Who is this?" Thomas said
I tried speaking, nothing came out. Why can't I just speak, I spoke to him face to face. It shouldn't be this hard. I heard the sound of beeping coming from my phone.
He hung up...
