Through their eyes

Chapter 10

Chapter 10- Uh oh.

I wake up the next morning, snuggled into Leo. I yawn, I didn't want to leave his warmth. I kinda fall back asleep until someone slams my door open, I bolt my head up, confused and annoyed.

Leo's dad is there glaring at the sigh of us. "He did not ask to stay the night. And what are you two doing, Don't be that close." He says and pulls a now rubbing his eyes, Leo. "Your coming home."

Leo frowns and looks at me, "Sir don't be mad at him, He helped me with the dishes last night and I guess we fell asleep." I say and he still glares and me, holding Leo by his arm, "I won't tolerate you being seen as.. a... gay." He says and I gasp.

The dad starts to leave with Leo, "Sir please it isn't his fault." I say and he shakes his head, "My son won't be coming over for a little while." He says and leaves as soon as he can, I cry and hug myself.

Where the fuck were my parents? And why didn't they you know, come to the slam?! I think questions as a I get up and slam my door. I change my clothes and put my earbuds in to listen to p!atd.

I bite my lip, worried for Leo. His dad was furious. What was gonna happen to Leo? Is his dad a hurtful parent? Or will he just keep him under more strict rules?

So many questions, I get overwhelmed and I self harm to cope. Can't wait for that to be questioned. That was sarcasm. My mom comes and knocks, confused but knowing she had let the man in.

     "Breakfast, get dressed hun." She says and looks at me, I nod and she leaves. I sigh in relief, and put away what I was doing and get into my uniform.

     I make sure my backpack has everything and go downstairs to eat breakfast with the family. Melissa is humming as she eats, I smile at her.

     I want her to be happy in this horrible world. I finish eating and put my dishes in the sink, waiting for Melissa. I'm hoping to ask Leo about just a little bit ago..

     Melissa finishes and I help her put her dishes in the sink before going out with her to the bus. She hums and I smile, rubbing her head. "I love you sissy." I say and she smiles and nods.

     With her device she says it back, and we both kinda laugh for no reason. I help her on the bus and go to my seat as usual. I hope to see Leo, but he isn't on the bus.. I hope he's coming to school.

     I listen to music but message Leo. 'Hey you coming to school? Your not on the bus.' And he responds, I think. 'Of course i would go to school. I'm not a deviant. My father is driving me.' Is the message, I squint my eyes at that, excuse you?

     'Pardon me? Respect much? And okay see you there geez.' I respond, Whatever. I hope he  is just really upset, no excuse, or it's not him.. I hope not. Reading our messages is very cute and soft but also gay.

     I sigh, still hoping he's okay nonetheless. After we get everyone we eventually get to the school. I help Melissa to her class, going to my locker afterwards and putting away what I didn't need. Jacket, backpack, etc.

     I go to class and sit at my desk, listening to music and messing with my phone. Five minutes before the bell rings I feel a hand on my shoulder and someone saying "Hey." I drop my phone.

     "Oh. Hi." I say to Leo, who's staring at me and laughing a little. I roll my eyes and smile. "What's up with that message this morning?" I ask and he tilts his head, "I didn't have my phone sorry."

     I nod, it was my second thought. "So.. What happened this morning?" I ask and he frowns. "I currently can not come back over. And he's reading my messages.. Had a yelling fit at me for the disgusting act.."

     He says and sits down and rubs his arm. I frown, "I'm sorry I got you in trouble!" I say and go to him and hug him. "Not your fault.. I didn't go home last night."

     I nod and kiss his cheek. "I love you. And I won't let your dad stop up from being together. Somehow." I say and frown as I sit back in my seat as the bell rings. The teacher starts talking and I stop listening.

     I think of all the bad things that can still happen to Leo after school. I think of what we can do together as well as future thoughts. I think of what if we get caught hanging out secretly? Ugh..

     It's so unfair. I can't love the person I love cause he's a dude. Get real. The person I am intimate with isn't any of their business anyway.

     I frown and mumble to myself, watching as the time goes by. Eventually it's lunch and I pull Leo into myself and kiss him. Fuck the homophobes.

     Leo squeaks and kisses back, eventually we have to stop and I smile at him. "Sorry, I'm mad about the homophobia in this world." I say and sigh.

     He nods and kisses my forehead, "Same especially since my father is one of those god forsaken homophobics." He says and I nod and frown.

     "I'm sorry. And I love you." I say to him, walking with him to get food. He shrugs, "It's okay, not your fault. And I love you too." He says and we get our lunch.

     We sit down and I just talk with him, ya sitting alone this time and eating like a little lunch date but at school. I love him, and I'm not letting homophobia stop me.
