Baniel - I know love when I see it

Chapter 4

I woke up this morning to screaming. It was 4:30, I didn't need to be up until 8:40 the fuck is going on?! I got up, rushing to the commotion in the kitchen. It was my dad and my brother Luke. "What is happening?" I asked, making my way to my brother. I will always be on his side, our dad's a complete idiot. "Dad wants to leave but I'm not letting him." Luke said as I looked at him, confused. " let him, who gives a fuck" I said, walking away, back to my room as Luke spoke again. I got furious. "He hit mom. Beau, I'm not letting him leave after being a shit." I turned around and punched my dad as he looked at me. He went to the floor. He was drunk so it was easy to strike him out.

"Ah! Beau what the he-" jai got cut off be me.
"Jai, just go back to bed, you to Luke." I ordered as they nodded and went to their rooms.

My dad woke up about 10 minutes later and had got me back whilst I was waiting until he left, he punched me until I blacked out and left.

I got up once again with the noise of my brothers talking to someone, I know that voice.... Skip. I jumped up and got ready, not thinking about if my face was marked so I got embarrassed and emotional when I got into the living room.
"Beau, love, what happened?!" Daniel got up fast and put his hand on my neck gently. I shook my head, tears wanting to form in my eyes, "nothing" I moved my head and looked down. "Nothing? You've got a black eye and bruises all over" he began getting mad as I got his hand. "Come" I pulled him into my room, giving my brothers a sign to leave.
I heard their car drive away.

"I got into a fight with my father," I looked at Daniel as he closed the door and sat on my bed, "but I'm fine, he left."
"No, I'm not fine." He compromised, looking at me with worried eyes. "I love you, beau, this won't ever happen while I'm still around here, okay?" I sat beside him as he patted his thigh. "Okay" I sat on his lap, putting my face in his chest and I just wanted to cry. It was just a moment where I can let it out but I didn't. I promised myself to never cry especially in front of someone, for my family. "I'm here for you, always. I promise, beau. I'm your shoulder" he smiled as I put my face in his neck and nodded, gulping down my tears. "You have the key to my heart already, Brooks." He put his arms around my body and pulled me in close...

I couldn't help but cry. So I did. For a while. "I know," skip whispered, wiping my tears and playing with my hair, along with rubbing my back, "I know." He started sniffling as I looked up, he was crying a bit and grinned, looking at me. "Sorry, I just don't like seeing you upset, it breaks me." He still looked at me as me him, I wiped his tears and smiled, "you're my favorite person in the whole world." I kissed him after saying those few words and we stayed holding each other for like 2/3 hours. We skipped school because we just couldn't deal with it right now.

Daniels Pov:
Someone knocked on the door, beau was asleep in my arms. I got up, not waking him up and walked out to open it. Shit. It was my dad. "why are you here?" He asked staring at me. "Why are you here?!" I asked confusingly while looking at him back. "Ms. Brooks gave me a call and told me to stop by. Is everything okay? Daniel, is she here?" He asked as I shook my head. "Nope. And yes, everything is fine." I smiled as he nodded. "I trust you kid, I'll be back here for some action so leave before 8:30." He said as I closed the door wanting to puke. Action? With beau's mom? Beau's mom wants some with my dad... Gross.

I went back into the room and laid back down, scooping beau up once again, comfortably.

Beau's Pov:
"Hey" I woke up, rubbing my eyes, looking at the beautiful figure holding me.
"Hi" he said back as I smiled. He kissed me and then blushed as I turned to face him and put my arms around him, putting my lips on his upper chest. "Can we go to my place?" Skip asked as I nodded. "Yep, why?" I sat up, as he did. "because um my dad won't be there." He said with a slight smirk. "Okay. We can go! Why can't your dad be there?" I said with a wink and as a joke. "Oh, well, I don't know.... He is homophobic" Daniel looked down as I looked at him and smiled at it. I like that Daniel is himself and expresses himself with me and literally only me. "so?" I said knowing it'd make him feel better. He smiled and kissed my cheek. "Let's go." I got up and stretched then packed a few things in a back pack and then we got in his car.

Daniel pulled up into his driveway, checking to make sure his dad wasn't there. He waved his hand for me to come inside, so I did. When I stepped in, I wanted to cry of embarrassment. His house is a dream house, perfect. God. "Wow," I said, letting signs release from my lips, "what?" He asked smiling, pulling me close to him. "Your house is beautiful" I smiled back, sitting myself on his couch as he chuckled. "Yeah, it's not that bad" he joked, trying to make me feel better, he knew, he did make me feel a lot better. Everyday. "Come on" he pulled me up, leading me into a room, his room. "this is your room?" I asked as he nodded. I sat on the bed and got ahold of one of his books, "nice." I smiled at the book, I've read it before, many times, it was my favourite. "What?" He sat beside me, getting the book out of my hands. "I love that book, 'icons' is a pretty good book." I got it and put it back on his shelf then sat back down. "How cute are we?!" He laughed, pulling me close to his chest. "You're very cute" I chuckled as he did the same. "You too." We laid there for a long time and just fell asleep.

Tomorrow is Saturday which means a full day, no school, just skip and I. I'll take him on a date.

Skip woke me up, shaking me with fear on his face. "What?" I whispered, trying not to make noise just in case. "My dad's home, you got to go" he said, throwing me my clothes. What? I don't recall getting my clothes off and throwing them... "Uh skip? Did we.." I asked knowing we've done it before but was frightened. "Yeah. Thank you" he kissed me and opened his window for me to exit. "Mhm" I groaned as I got up, putting my clothes on, my head hurt! Maybe I got drunk and just don't remember.

I climbed out of the window, next thing I know. I was on the side of his house and made my way to the front yard, took me about 10 minutes. He has much junk back here! I climbed over the fence, throwing myself onto the floor, moaning, I was still beat up. "Ugh." I let out as I stood up, daniel's dad was standing in front of me. "Hi, sir" I smiled as he smiled back, he wasn't suspicious. "Are you a friend of my son's?" He asked as I nodded. A little more then a friend, aye. "Yes, I am Daniel's friend. I'm beau" I put my hand out as he shook it. "Brooks? Oh! You're Nina's kid!" I nodded, "you'll make a great step brother" he remarked as I shook my head. "Excuse me?" I asked politely, keeping temper. "To Daniel. Not me! And I was joking.. Your mother and I get along, but I was joking!" He laughed as he lead me inside.

"Why'd you sneak out, kid? I don't mind one bit that you're here." He grinned, teeth crooked. "Well.. I wasn't sure sor-" Daniel walked in and gasped a bit. "Beau? What are you doing here?" He asked as I shrugged. "You're polite dad let me in, so I came inside... Once again." I said with a bit questioning in the phrase. "Oh" he sat beside his dad and stared at me with a wide smile. His dad didn't notice until he turned to him. God. We almost got caught. "Daniel!" He nearly yelled then got quiet again, "that's not very nice to stare, also he's a man." I wanted to roll my eyes cause skip was still looking at me so I wanted to make him feel better but them his dad turned to me mid eye roll.

"Thank you for having me, beautiful home." I stood up as they both got up after I did.
"Yes, no problem. And yeah, I can see why you would say that, you live in shit." He reminded me as I got angry, nodding. "Dad! Shut the fuck up! You're always talking" Daniel came over to me and walked me outside. "Thanks" I said, tears wanting to come out. Daniel just hugged me as I basically whimpered. I didn't want to go back to that shit house. "Hey, I'll meet you later, okay? I promise." Daniel said wiping my tears and smiling. "Date?" He asked as I nodded. "I'll text you where I go. I'm not going home" I stated as he understood. "Okay" he said softly, gazing around and kissed my cheek, not thinking about his dad. "Bye." He said as I waved and started walking, he walked inside, watching me from his doorway.
I thought for a while.. Who would accept me? Who would let me in? Who would let skip in? Who would prepare me perfectly for my date tonight? Who would be excited and proud of me?... I got it. The lesbian!

b: ~hey, can I come to your house?~
L: ~yes. Of course~
B: ~thank you, Lauren. xx~
L: ~😘~

I smiled and walked to Lauren's house, she's the only person that truly gets me and listens. I don't care if she told people what she witnessed the other day between Daniel and I. I kinda wanted people to know, get used to us and know that I'm in love for the first time. And I'm in love with Daniel Sahyounie.
