Star Boy - DNF

TW: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MENTIONS OF ABUSE!!

A/N: These are all fictional depictions and fictional personalities. I in no way condone abuse or assault. And I am in no way saying that George's dad is actually abusive. This is all for the storyline. And if you need, there are hotlines provided in my bio, and my dm's are always open, I love you so much, you are not alone. - zee <3

I saw star boy at school today. He

Had his head down, like he used to.

But he was limping, something you

wouldn't notice unless you were

looking close enough.

Not that I was staring at him.

The flame in his eyes was put

out. And all his features seemed

to dull down.

Every time I got even remotely close

to him, he scurried away.

"We gave him a good one yesterday!"

One of my friends said.

What do they mean by good one? I

give them a questioning look.

"After school." Some other friend says,

making a punching motion with his hands.

"What?" I say incredulously. They all stare

at me as if I was weird, like I shouldn't be

so surprised.

"We followed him home after school, and

we did it. Fag deserved it anyways."

It felt like those cliche books. The ones

Where the jocks are always the bad guys.

I'm not even a jock. I just play basketball...

"I'm going." I scowl before storming off.

The next day star boy didn't come to school.

But a fresh rumour came instead.

"Did you hear? George's dad is abusive."

"I saw him have a big freakout and he

shoved George to the ground."

"Didn't he get beat up by the jocks

the day before?"

There were several whispers about

George's dad and how George was

in the hospital.

His star boy was hurt.

There was an assembly later that day.

About abuse and mental health. And

how George was recovering.

There were some happy whispers, some

that seemed upset that he lived.

It all made dream sick to his stomach.

He just wanted his star boy to be okay.
