~4 days till the promposal~
~Ash's POV~

I had to buy the re two the stuff but I don't have a place to hide it. Especially since he is living with me now. I had the rock hidden in my drawer but everything else is gonna be pretty hard. But here I am buying a bunch of shit anyways. I'll probably put it in mom's closet. I hope he says yes. Oh god I hope he says yes. And maybe after prom we can be a real couple.

As I payed for the stuff the cashier asked me a simple question. Oh how could it have gone so wrong.

"So who's the lucky lady?" I shook my head.

"No lady, it's a boy" her eyes rolled and she scoffed.

"Oh, you're one of those people" Her tone was the nastiest I had ever heard.

"Yeah what about it? is there something wrong with liking men?" The longer I looked at her the longer distaste filled my mouth.

"It's not natural, men and WOMEN are supposed to be together. Not two men" Her tone was snarky and I just scoffed.

"Whatever, just let me pay please" when I looked at the keypad and inserted my card I saw the entire order was cancelled.

"No, faggot's don't shop here" her boos came around the corner and looked at us.

"I heard everything from your co-worker" he said and her face went pale.

"I don't know what you're talking about" she said nervously and he just shook his head.

"Gwen I'm sorry, but you're fired. This is the third time." He shook his head and stepped behind the counter. "Now sir, let me ring you up.'

He rang up all my items and I paid like everything was normal. I left in a daze and got in the car. I wondered how Luca was doing.

~Luca's POV~

I started to feel tears running down my face as the jocks of the school surrounded me with a vicious look on his face. They pinned me against a wall and smacked me down to the floor. My face was searing with pain as I sat on the floor, horrified. One of them kicked me, then the other punched. Before I knew it I saw a knife being drawn. I started to scream for the first time.

"NO, PLEASE SOMEONE HELP" It was to late.

They held me in place as they made shallow cuts along my abdomen. It hurt like hell.

Footsteps.

Finally, someone was here. I saw the biggest one look up and immediately a terrified look crossed his face. The principal came around. Thank god.

~an hour later at Ash's house~

I layer in the bed crying. My entire body was sore and my face was soaked with tears. Then the door opened. I flinched and immediately felt his arms around my waist. I turned around and hugged him back, before starting to cry into his arms.
