The Secrets Secret (sequel to The Secret)

Chapter 2

Alex's POV

"Alex what were you thinking walking out of class not once but three times?!" Dad yells.

"I wasn't thinking..I was just acting out of emotions I guess.." I mumble. There's no point in testifying myself. I got in trouble at school and now I'm going to get punished for it here.

I can see why dad is mad though. He wants me to have a good head on my shoulders and get good grades and stay out of trouble. I try to but it's hard when you have an asshole teacher.

"You are grounded over these two weeks. Give me your phone. And no video games." He tells me. Okay Mr. no face thats to far. No video games?! And yes. 13 years later and we still have no face reveal. He's done a good job at hiding himself from the public.

"Whatever.." I mumble again and give him my phone before going to my room. I lay on my bed just sick of everything. I'm not valid because 'there isn't enough evidence,' and my dad is mad at me because I got suspended for a reason the teacher should have been fired. I don't get society..

⚠️⚠️⚠️

I look at the slowly fading scars through my bracelets. I've tried to stop but it's addicting. I wish I could stop..

I find myself scratching at the old scars. Which leads to me grabbing the blade taped up under my bedside table. I take a breath before running the cool metal across my already messed up wrists. Nothing too deep but enough to give me satisfaction.

I get enough emotional pain daily physical pain is the only way to distract myself from it all. I clean them quickly and put on more bracelets then hide the blade again.

✅✅✅

At that moment daddy syk walks in. Thank goodness it was now and not ten minutes ago..

"Hey Alex. I just wanted to check up on you buddy..everything okay?" I just nod a little. He hugs me. "Come on..what's on your mind. What really happened at school?"

"He called me a girl, dad.." I say looking down at my fingers.

"What?"

"And he won't use my proper pronouns unless another adult is present." I say and he looks mad. "So he gets away with it and the principle says they can't do anything about it. But since I lashed out and left three times I'm at fault! There's clearly a reason I left they can't open their eyes.." I continue.

"What type of school is this??"

"It's a joke I'm telling you.."

"We are switching schools. I'm going to talk with corpse. We are going to pull you from there I don't want you going back. We can move the next town over if we have to."

"You'd go through all that trouble for me..?"

"Of course buddy. If it means you will be more comfortable than of course we will." He says hugging me.

"Thanks dad." I say burring my face in his shoulder.

"Any time bud." He kisses the top of my head and I smile a bit. I have amazing dads and I wouldn't change them for anything.
