TW's: language, anything else?

-Nick POV-

I got in my car and went to my old friend, alex's house. He knew about what was happening with my dad so I've stayed there before. 

-time skip to Monday-

I had been staying at Alex's house all weekend and decided I should probably stay somewhere else.

I had gotten up later than usual this morning so I had to rush to school. 

By the time I had gotten to first period I was 2 minutes late. I walked into class and everyone stared at me for a second before going back to what they were doing. 

This weekend I had gotten an email from the football coach saying that I was kicked off the team for not showing up for practice, I didn't really care, I never actually liked football anyways it was just a way to get fit. 

After first and second period I found Karl in the hall, I walked up beside him and grabbed his hand, smiling and staring down at him. "wanna skip with me?" I asked him.

"Skip school?" He asked me his eyes shocked and scared. 

I shrugged and looked up back down the hallway. "why not." I said. "I can drop you back off after lunch if you want.

"okay." He said looking at me with a grin. 

"wait really?" I said surprised he said yes, he was the good and smart kid, everyone knew that. 

"why not, I just have art."

my hand was still in his so I dragged him along with me, going to the door and getting in my car. He got in the passenger seat and I started driving, he looked out the window for a little while before asking where we were going. 

"in and out." I replied, looking at him. He looked confused. "You do know what in and out is, right?"

he looked at me blankly and shook his head. I laughed and said "well that changes today."

I put my hand on his thigh and he visibly squirmed before calming down.

We drove all the way to in and out and got what we wanted to eat, then I drove us down to the bench we had been sitting at last week. 

We stayed in the car and ate our food in a comfortable silence, I had all the windows rolled down because it was almost Summer, and it got hot in Lake Tahoe.

After we ate we looked out at the water, it was quiet in the car but again it was comfortable, not awkward. 

"what are we?" Karl asked suddenly, I studied him for a second.

"I don't know if I've made this clear, I'm... not gay." 

He looked at me for a second before speaking again. "So your saying you're straight?" I nodded. "Am I just your toy?" he asked me cringing at his own words. 

I stayed quiet, I didn't know how to respond, my dad's words sunk into me at that exact moment, I was a stupid gay bitch, I couldn't be that. I don't care if I love Karl or not, I can't be gay. Mom would be disgusted in me.

"I-" I started but was interrupted by him getting out of my car, he walked halfway across the parking lot and then broke into a jog.

I sat there for a moment, stunned before I realized I probably just ruined the best thing in my entire life. I tried calling Karl multiple times but I was guessing that he probably didn't want to talk to me, I re ran what had just happened in the past 20 minutes, I summed it up in three words, love, happy, broken. I couldn't stop thinking about Karl all day, of course I couldn't, I just broke me and him in half because of something my fucking dad said. 

I decided to try and talk to him at school tomorrow, tonight I'll go back to Alex's house.
