"Who the fuck do you think you are?" I storm into Nate's room slamming open the door. "What the fuck are you on about?" Nate says calmly scrolling through his phone. "Tyler Clarkson" is all I say and Nate becomes alert. Nate pauses for a moment and then takes a deep breath. "Who the fuck is that?" he says and I laugh out loud. "The guy you fuckin' framed" I yell and Nate quickly stands up. 

He begins to walk out of the room. "Nate you are going to go down to the fuckin' cops station and clear his fucking name right now!" I yell stepping in front of him. "Why because you're fucking him?" Nate says stopping and looking directly into my face. "I'm not fucking him" I yell. "You're a fucking F*****t" Nate says and I push him. 

"Shut the fuck up Nate you really wanna compare sexualities when there was a fucking rumor going around the whole school that you like dick, not me" I yell and Nate begins to get mad. "Get the fuck out of my way!" Nate screams trying to push me. I push him right back. "I'm not fucking scared of you" I yell and Nate laughs. 

"You really should because I'll ruin your fucking life" Nate says pointing a finger towards me. "What could you say that would ruin my fucking life?" I say quietly and Nate steps back thinking for a moment. 

"You have nothing because you know that I can, you know I can ruin your fucking life, I can tell every person we know that our dad likes fuck little kids and then that'll take the whole family business away, it may look bad for me but I don't want that shitty business, It'll fuck you over because dads construction business is your plan, without it and dad in jail you will be fucking dead, You don't have a future outside of high school and we both know that, and you might think I'm fucking weak but in reality I'm the strongest out of all of you!" I say and Nate steps back. 

"Dad!" Nate yells loudly and I hear my fathers footsteps approaching. "Louie is fucking a twenty-two year old guy" Nate says and my father looks down at me. I suck in my breath and my immediate fear for Tyler becomes real. I quickly bolt down the stairs and Nate and my father run after me. I quickly grab the keys to the cars and stuff them in my pocket. I then run out the door and onto my bike peddling away. 

I can hear my father and Nate's screams after me. I quickly pedal fast towards Tyler's apartment and pound on the door. "Tyler open up right now!" I yell and I hear the door handle jiggle and Tyler opens the door. He has a look of concern and he tries to hug me. I quickly walk in and towards his bedroom. "My dad and Nate both know" I say stuffing clothes into a bag for him. 

"Fuck!" Tyler screams and then stops me from packing. "I can't leave I'm on house arrest!" Tyler says and I hunch down. "How long are you gonna be on house arrest for?" I say beginning to have a panic attack. "Another week" Tyler says and I scream. I then hear a car engine. I run to the window and look out. My dads pickup truck with Nate in the passenger seat can be seen. 

"The spare keys, Fuck!" I say remembering the cars spare keys. "Holy shit" Tyler says and then there's a knock at the door. "Louie open up now!" I hear my father say and I suck in my breath. "Hide!" I say shoving Tyler into a closet. I hesitate to open the door but my father said "let me in" in a calm tone. 

I crack open the door and my father is standing there. "Get him" he says and I try to shut the door but it's forced open. My father looks around the apartment and then trudges towards the bedroom and opens the closet and pulls Tyler out. "Please don't hurt me" Tyler pleads and my father takes a deep breath. 

"I won't hurt ya" he says and I look towards him in confusion. I walk towards my dad and he looks at me. "You two will never see each other again, Louie you're windows will be bolted shut, a lock will be placed on your door at night, you will be driven to and from school and band practice, no phone" my father says and I feel tears well up. "Dad please no" I say and he then grabs me by the shirt collar and takes me to his car. 

I get into the passenger seat and cry. 

Tyler once told me I was the only thing keeping him alive. I didn't realize that he was also doing the same thing for me.
