TW: Mentions of abuse
{This part of the story takes place when Darryl is 14}
《Darryl's POV》
Me and my mom were on our way back home from the store, I went along to help her out. When we got back home and unpacked I started to help my mom cook dinner. Then she brought up a topic I was surprised about.
"Hey Darryl?"
"Yes mother?"
"I wish you're dad was as kind as you" she said with a sad smile.
I looked at her with a confused face. She never talks about "him", maybe I should ask about dad right now since she brought him up.
"What was dad like? If you don't mind me asking."
"I guess you're old enough to know now" she sighed with a sad expression.
"Well he wasn't the best, I was dumb back then, desperate, and I regret everything. He would come home drunk every night, and when I kept telling him to stop he got furious and he would threaten to kill me if I don't shut up. He would sometimes come home with another girl and if I kicked her out he would smash a glass bottle on me,, that's why I have all these scar. And when I had you I wanted to keep you safe so I gathered the courage to get a divorce." She started to break down crying but continued to say "And after that I took you and ran away, as far as my legs could take me. Then I bought this house we live in now."
I felt so bad, I didn't know what to do... I was frozen in place. But my mom falling to the floor crying brought me back to reality. I ran over trying to comfort her.
TW Over. What happened was that Darryl's mom talked about his dad being a bad person and she started crying.
{Time Skip to the next day}
I woke up to the annoying beeping of my alarm clock. I got up and got ready for the day. I put on my favorite black hoodie with a red trim, black convers, and black skinny jeans.
After I got changed I headed down stairs, grabbed some toast, told my mother goodbye, and got in my car and headed off to school.
School was the same as always, I took notes, at lunch I sat by myself, and got bullied by the jocks on the football team. They always said that being gay was not normal and that it's gross to like the same gender. I don't know how they found out because I never told anyone, maybe it's just that obvious? Or maybe my ex-bestfriend Vincent told someone and it spread?
When I got home my mom was sitting in the living room waiting for me. She greeted me with a warm smile and said "come on let's go some place fun, would you like to go for a walk in your favorite park since it's late?" She said with a happy voice.
"Sure! That sounds like fun" I said with a smile.
When in the car she asked how my day was as school. I said that it was good because I didn't want to worry her, it's hard enough to be a single mom and take care of a kid and I didn't want to stress her out more with her knowing that her son is getting bullied.
We arrived at the park and only a few people were there because it was late and starting to get dark outside. Our walk was quite relaxing and peaceful, the firefies were everywhere lightning up the path. After the sun set we decided to walk back to the car to drive back home.
Once me and my mother were in the car and we were on the road I wanted to ask her a question, I had to get it off my chest.
"Hey mom??" I asked with a hint of hesitation.
"Yes? What is it dear?"
"I.. I want to tell you s-something"
"Go ahead sweetie" she gave a hint of concern in her voice.
"I'm... gay" I said looking at her.
"..."
I saw her grip the steering wheel tightly and she turned to me.
"That's fine. Just.. just don't let the others know.. I don't want you to end up like your uncle when he was younger"
My eyes started to water a bit. "Thank you, this means a lot to me"
My mother turned to look at me and put her hand on my shoulder for comfort.
"I love you my son" she said with a soft smile.
"Thank yo- MOM WATCH OU-"
*CRASH*
Everything hurt like a muffin. I couldn't see anything it was all blurry. The only thing I felt was the a wet feeling running down my face, the feeling of being upside-down, and the intense feeling of pain throughout my entire body. Then the next thing I new I passed out.
