"Brian, you gotta open up. You're hurting everyone around you." Matt said pleadingly, putting a hand on my shoulder.
That was when I snapped.
"Who am I hurting, Matt?! Fuck! Dad doesn't give two shits where I am anymore, alcohol is his son now!", I exclaimed, stepping away from him. I walk over to the window, seeing the sun setting behind some trees, a mix of pink and orange in the sky.
"Mom left, and obviously I'm not in the picture! Big surprise! Some cunt has told everyone at school that I'm gay, and look where that's got me. Grades and studying mean nothing to me anymore! Who am I hurting Matt?!" I ask, panting a little from yelling. I needed to get that out. I turn around and look at him, and regret freaking when I see his eyes filled with tears.
"M-Me, Brian... You're hurting me, b-because I care about you.." he whispered shakily. I stepped over to him.
"Matt, I.."
"I always have, Brian." he said quietly, a tear rolling down his cheek. He went over and sat at the end of my bed, looking at the floor. I didn't know what to say.
He's cared about me? I thought we were just... 'Acquaintances'. Isn't that why we were paired for the test marking? I guess we began to know each other more over time. Why couldn't I keep my mouth shut and keep to myself?
I walked over and sat beside him, and he sniffled.
"Why do you care, Matt?" I asked him after the silenced ticked by. He didn't reply when I asked him, he continued to look at the floor.
"Matt?" I called him, looking up at him, and he's looking away from me. He was about to speak, but stopped suddenly, both of us looking towards my bedroom door.
Dad is home.
"Matt, you gotta get out of here. If he catches you here, he'l-"
"BRIAN?!"
I gasped when I heard my name yelled from downstairs, the front door slamming too. I turned to Matt, knowing we'll both be in shit if we are found up here.
"Come on, climb out here before he comes up." I order, and open the window fully, the cool summer air seeping inside.
"But Brian? What's he gonna do to you?!" Matt whispered, worry filling his voice. I didn't know what he was going to do, honestly. But I won't tell Matt that.
"I'll be fine, you get outta here." I whisper, and smiled a little to show it was okay. I could hear Dad walking around down below, knowing he's gonna be up here soon. He hopped out, landing on the grass softly.
"Come to my place tomorrow if you can, okay?" Matt said, and I leaned on the window sill to hear him. I nodded, and to my surprise, he planted a quick kiss on my lips, and stepped back.
"See you.." he said, and quickly made his way home. I was so dazed, I almost forgot that my windows were opened.
"Wow..." I mumbled, and close in the windows quickly. but just as I closed them, my bedroom door burst open, frightening me.
