Trigger warning- abuse, homophobia

John POV

After school Me and Alex both catch a bus back to my place to work on the assignment. "Is your dad home?" He asks.

"Nah, he won't be for a couple hours, But I told him you were coming over and it's ok with it as long as we're working" he nods.

When we get back to my place we walk up to my room to avoid my siblings and sit on my bed. "Ugh this is so hard!" I groan.

"We haven't even read what we're supposed to do yet" he laughs.

"Yeah but I already know it's gonna be exhausting" He rolls his eyes we both open the assessment sheets. "Ewww we have to present it to the class" I say while readings

"Why is that bad?" He ask.

"Cuz people" I reply.

"Yeah but it just means we get to top he class and everyone will know they're life is worthless" he points out.

"But everyone you mean Jefferson?" I ask and he just nods. "So it's just a PowerPoint about the founding fathers?" I say when I finish reading.

"Yeah I guess. So do we just start with Chis Jackson?" He suggests and I nod so we start researching.

About an hour later and we've done 4 slides "can we take a break down?" I groan.

"Sure" he laughs.

"What's so funny?! My brain hurts I don't wanna work anymore!" I exclaim.

"Ok why don't we take a break, do one more then we can do the rest another day" he suggests.

"Okay, what do ya wanna do?" I ask.

"How long until your dad gets home?" He asks.

"Like 2 hours but why-" I'm cut off my him suddenly jumping on top of me and kissing me. "Alex!" I giggle.

"Yeah?" He smiles.

"Your cute" he blushes and kisses me again. I sink into it and wrap my arms around him. Awhile later I to pull of his shirt so he takes of mine as well. I kiss along his neck and collarbone which makes him moan softly.

"John!" I hear my dad yell. I stop. No. No no no. He's not there. He can't be, he's not supposed to be home for another hour and 45 minutes. I turn around and see him standing at the door. He looks more pissed then I've ever seen him. I mean usually he tried to hide it when there's people around.

"D-dad you're home e-early" I stutter nervously. I feel like I'm gonna be sick. Why the hell is he home early?! I don't know if I wanna scream or cry but I just want to run away. What if he hurts Alex. Omg I should have never invited him over.

"Clearly you weren't expecting that" he replies. "Alexander, get out" he says to Alex.

"W-What no! I'm not leaving you alone with him" he cries.

"You don't live here and you've over stayed your welcome, get out. I don't wanna see you here again" he says sternly.

"Alex Just go. Please?" I Beg. He looks at me for a minutes then leaves. Once he's out of the room Dad slams the door shut.

Alex POV

"John!" Mr. Laurens yells. John freezes. Omg. Why is he here? He's not supposed to be home for ages. Omg whats he gonna do to John? This is all my fault. What the fuck!

"D-Dad, your home e-early" John stutters and nervously turns around.

"Clearly you weren't expecting that" he says clearly very angry. "Alexander get out" he says to me.

"W-What no im not leaving you alone with him" at this point I'm just trying not to to start crying cuz I know this is so worse for John.

"You don't live here and you've over stayed your welcome, get out. I don't wanna see you here again" he says sternly.

"Alex just go. Please" John begs. I look at him and he just looks terrified. How am I supposed to leave him here? But I also can't stay. I sigh and grab my stuff then walk out, the door slams behind me.

I put my shirt back on and starts walking out of the house. "Alex? Where's John?" Martha asks, she looks almost scared.

"Umm. He's in his room.... with your dad" I says.

"Does dad know John's gay now?" Henry asks walking up next to her.

"Yeah I think so but John wouldn't want you guys to say anything ok? Just pretend you didn't know" I ask softly.

"But he hits us when we lie to him" Henry says

"Henry! Shh dad said we're not allowed to tell people that" Martha says angrily.

"I already know, ok don't lie to him. Just don't bring it up but if he asks you be honest but don't go into detail ok? That just means don't say anything you don't have to" I suggest.

"Ok... is dad gonna hurt John?" Henry asks.

"I don't know, but I'm trying not to think about that. Now I have to go because I'm not allowed to be here anymore but if you need anything here's my number, ok tell me if John or any of you get hurt" I say giving Martha my phone number.

They both hug me "thank you" they says. I smile a little the walk out. I get a cab back home. When I get there George and Martha are both sitting on the couch.

"Hey Alex, did you get much work done?" George asks.

"Umm Yeah I guess" I reply.

"Is everything alright?" Martha asks.

"Yeah... well no. John's dad came home early and now he knows John's gay and he's super homophobic and he made me leave and his siblings are scared and I don't know what's gonna happen" I fall down into the corner of he couch.

"Wow, is he gonna be ok? Does he need to stay here for a while?" Martha asks.

"No, pretty much anything to do with me will make this worse"  I sigh.

"Is there anything we can do to help?" George asks.

"Nah. I'm just gonna go up to my room" they nod and I walk upstairs.
