Sal's pov:
I walked into the bathroom after leaving class, it was lunch time. "Hello?" I called out after hearing a cry. I soon heard a reply "why do you always come here when I'm crying..." I give a slight chuckle and walk over to the stall, placing my back against it and sliding down to sit with my knees at my chest. "Did something happen? I mean I already know that Mrs. Packerton watches over you because of the..cult" The blond boy stays quiet for a while, "I really want to tell you..I trust you Sally, but you'll hate me for sure" my eyes widened realizing. "Did you write a love letter to a boy? I know that letter, next to the bin; last time was from you...Do you want to tell me?"
Travis' pov:
*did he- how did he know, I guess it doesn't matter anymore, it's like a bandage around your whole body that can pull your skin off* "You're right...but I'll be damned if I get home, I'll be sacrificed and made to pray for years until I'm straight! I'm not even fucking bi! I just like men, so this is the worst scenario!" I yelled and sobbed harder, After a minute of silence I replied. "I- I'm sorry for yelling...Please don't leave! Please!" Sal replied, almost instantly "No, I would never Travis, would you mind coming out, It'd be easier to talk face-to-face or well, mask-to-face" Travis gave a small chuckle. "You can make me laugh while I'm going to die in two minutes" I open the stall door, the pretty blue haired boy, falling backwards onto my feet. "Umm..sorry?" he said in a half joking tone, I wiped my tears as he stood up. I then hugged the other male, tightly and not letting go.
Sal's pov:
*wow...he actually hugged me, he has feelings? I knew he didn't hate me. Maybe he likes me too? No, that can't be true.* "Hey, you ok Fisher?" I hear a soft sad voice talking. "Y- yeah, I really can't believe you actually hugged me" He started laughing softly while still whispering his words to me. "I lo- I'm sorry, if you don't like it I can let go" I just smiled under my mask "No it's fine, oh! Also if you need it, you can stay with me. My dad has a lot of work, whenever Larry's busy I get bored and maybe you can get along with them." He pulled away and looked dumbfounded. "Would that really be ok?" I knew that he wouldn't believe that amazing offer. "It's a joke...? Huh?" He said in a sad tone. I grabbed and hugged him. "No, I'd never joke about that, go home with me and I'll be sure to make it better. The cult doesn't realize where I live" I felt a few wet spots on my shirt. "Th- Thank you, I'm so happy right now!"
Travis' pov:
*I can't believe it, the person I love the most is so nice to me* "I can't believe it, I love you so much. Thank you for this" I started crying harder, losing track of time. "Hey Travis? We have 10 minutes before class...I'd love to stay like this but you should probably eat something". I stay quiet trying not to bring the mood down. "Will I have to pay you for food?" Sal looks up at me "Like if you live with me? Hell no, whenever we cook or buy take away we always have too much, you'll be everything but a burden" I smile. "I really can't tell you how grateful I am"
