Chapter 7

TW: Brief mention of homophobia.

4 days~

(Y/N) POV

Rehearsal ended and I'm exhausted like always. Anyways I'm walking my way out of the school to get some coffee.

A long walk later~

I got to the restaurant and I'm not surprised to see the goth posers there. I ignored them and ordered my usual dark roast coffee with a shit ton of caffeine. It didn't take long till I heard a voice across from me calling my name. I still blocked out their voice as I waited.

Eventually, they stopped calling my name when my order arrived. I grabbed my drink and took a sip, of course it tasted like shit so I took out my flask and poured in the alcohol into the cup and took another sip. Much better.

As I was about to walk out the door someone stopped me. They held my hand and I looked at however it was so I could punch them and it was Pete. "Hey." he said. I jerked my hand away from him and told him "You have some nerve talking to me and grabbing my hand shithead." I said with cold hard glare . "Look I know I come off as pushy and maybe desperate, but I wanted to ask. Do you wanna hang with us because I know the kind of pain you're going through and feel like you need to vent to someone."

"You don't know what kind of pain I go through. Even if you did know you don't know what it feels like and let me tell you if you even feel even the slightest bit of pain in me you'd be dead where you stand." I said darkly as he replied back with, "I do know, I can see it in your eyes. They're filled with tiredness, hate and despair. And yeah if I did feel your pain I would be dead. I just don't want you hating us, mostly Michael. I know you guys got off on the wrong foot, but can you at least forget about and move on from it. I want you to be chill everyone and-" I cut him off. "I thought your leader made it perfectly clear not to be near me because if you didn't I would kill you." I scoffed at him. "It's funny how you sound like you're trying to make peace with me and your stupid group and befriend them like we're some conformists. Hmph, I thought goths knew better; guess I was wrong. You are a goddamn embarrassment to all goths."

"You're right." was the last thing I heard from him as he left me. I smirked evilly as I left the place walking home.

Henrietta's POV

Michael and Firkle were talking to each other as I read my book taking a puff of my cigarette. I didn't notice Pete was gone for a while to talk to (y/n) then coming back looking like he was slapped in the face. "You okay dude? You look like you got cheated one." Michael noticed as we looked up at him and he was right. "I'm fine." he quietly said. "What did that bitch tell you." Michael said with a look that said "where is she so I can snap her neck". "2 words. Goddamn embarrassment." My eyes widened from shock and anger. The rest of the group doesn't know this except me about Pete's darkest secret. He was too scared to tell them, but me because he also knows we feel the same thing.

Pete's gay.

The real reason he lives alone wasn't because he hated living with his dad in his conformist home, it was because his dad was homophobic and called him an embarrassment because of that. One day his dad got into a fight with him and kicked him out of the house. When he told me what happened I took him in until he was able to live on his own. It wasn't much he had, but he found it comfortable. (A/N: This is not canon btw)

We finished our coffee and headed to my house, I still couldn't get what Pete said out of my head. Tomorrow I'll be beating this chick's ass for telling him that.

3 days~

(Y/N) POV

It's the next morning and it's the same routine again over and over. I sure wish something interesting would happen on this boring day.

I predicted it like always. As I was putting my parasol away in my locker my locker immediately shut. I looked at who closed my locker ready to slit their throat. I see the ravenette female goth standing right in front of me. What is she going to do? Slap me for something I did. And like that I was right.

Slap

Of course I didn't feel the stinging in my left cheek as it was turning red. "How dare you call him an embarrassment." she angrily said to me as I looked at her with confusion and rage in my eyes. She continued on, "Do you know how much you hurt?" "Bitch I don't know who or what you're talking about, but I'm giving you 30 second head start to tell me what you're saying then running from me before I kill you." She then told me that she was talking about Pete and what I called him. Either way she still continued ranting to me till her time was up. "What was the point of giving you the time to run from when you wasted your time?" I told her. "I don't care what you do to me I want you to-"

I didn't let her finish as I pulled out my switchblade, put her head lock behind her and placed the knife to her neck in one swift movement at lightning speed. She didn't move, not even a flinch as she had looked like she didn't care. "Not doing anything about it, I like that." I sinisterly say in her ear. She didn't respond nor did I hear her breathing thinking I killed her from choking her, but I was wrong.

She head-butted me with her head which caught me off-guard and my dumbass dropped the knife. She noticed this and grabbed the knife before I could retrieve it. "Damn." I muttered. "Well you know when to act, but I wonder when can you realize that you can't win." I charged at her.

Pete's POV

I arrived at school still bummed out about what happened last night, but I don't show it. As I am walking into the school I see a bunch of conformists crowding a hallway. I roll my eyes thinking it's just some Britney-wannabes fighting over their quarterback boyfriend cheating on one of them. That's what I thought till I heard I heard someone's voice "You don't know anything about him and if you come near the guys I'll fucking end you!"
