Titus Young

I watch him pull off to tell his parents about me before walking back into the house. I take a seat in the living room with Chris and Jeremy. I can't lie and say I'm not nervous for him. I could tell he was struggling with telling them since it took him three weeks to get the courage to finally do it. The way he talks about how tough his dad is I can't begin to imagine how the conversation is going to go. I pull out my lesson plan going over what I'm going to give my classes for the extended weekend. Though I think I'll do best to keep it simple, no one wants to do twenty different things while suffering from a food coma at Thanksgiving. I begin to grade papers to pass the time waiting for my pet to return.

"I've got to go" Jeremy says getting up some time later.

"What's going on?" Chris asks looking at him.

"Pack emergency."

"You're coming back right?"

He nods, "yeah."

I watch as he rushes out the house and I get a sickening feeling in my stomach that it involves my pet. "It's Beckham."

Chris looks at me confused, "how you know?"

I shrug, "just a feeling."

"I'm sure he's fine, he knows how to handle himself. Relax bro."

That is true but how often do people forget how to handle themselves when it involves family. I'm fortunate enough to come from an exceptionally large close-knit family but I'm not naïve to think every family is the same. My parents love us unconditionally and some families don't have that love and support. Who knows how his parents really took him coming out so to say? Chris's phone ringing snaps me out from my daze.

"Bae" he answers. "Why not?" he pauses, "do you need me to come to you?" he glances at me, "what happened bae?" Chris groans, "fine." He hangs up putting his phone in his pocket.

"What happened?"

He shrugs, "I don't know but something big, he said he couldn't talk about it and he's not coming back."

I pull out my phone calling my pet. It rings until it goes to his voicemail. C'mon pet answer. I call again getting the same result. On the third call it goes straight to voicemail meaning he turned his phone off. It also means I'm fucking correct about something happening at his parents' house.

Pet. I reach out in our link.

Hm? He responds.

Why aren't you answering my calls? What happened? Where are you?

Titus, I can't explain it right now. I'm safe but I really can't do this shit right now.

Pet!

I clench my jaw in frustration knowing he has blocked me. I look at Chris holding out my hand for his phone he eyes me before sighing and handing it over. I quickly call Jeremy and on the fourth ring he answers.

"Yeah Titus" he answers.

"Where is he?"

"I don't know."

I grit my teeth, "are you lying?"

"No, I took his car somewhere after he ran off."

"What happened?"
