Spongebob's thoughts were racing, he just needed some time to think, away from everyone. He closed the door and started the walk to his room when he noticed someone in the living room.
"Hello Spongebob." Spongebob's jaw dropped, his mom was sitting in the living room.
"M-mom? What are you doing here?" Spongebob stopped walking to his room and started walking to the living room.
"Me and your father got to come home early and we saw Patrick in the house. Do you know what he told us?" Spongebob's heart was racing so fast that Spongebob felt as if he was bursting at the seams.
"W-what?" Spongebob was too confused about the Squidward thing he had momentarily forgotten about what he did with Patrick.
"Your father has found a camp that helps people like you." Spongebob couldn't believe what he was hearing. "I can't believe you would do something so disgusting. You will be leaving for the camp when school ends and you can't talk to your boyfriend. Go to your room." Spongebob stood there for a few seconds until he realized what his mother said, he went up to his room and sat against his door, he only had until the end of the school year until his parents sent him to a camp, and if he didn't come back straight they would probably kick him out. Spongebob couldn't talk with Patrick anymore which meant his only friend was gone. Spongebob didn't understand why Squidward had been so nice while they were studying. Spongebob tried to not cry and he tried to calm down his breathing. Spongebob saw a rock hit his window, it was Patrick on the ground throwing rocks up at the window. Spongebob brought Patrick in through his window, like they used to do when they were younger.
"I saw your parents, are you happy they're back?" Spongebob remembered what his mother said about how they found out he was gay. His mother said they ran into Patrick.
"No." Spongebob had slowly gotten his thoughts about Patrick together, he was angry that Patrick outed him, but Spongebob couldn't figure out his feelings about Squidward.
"Why not?" Spongebob didn't know if Patrick was really stupid or if he just hated Spongebob. Spongebob could hear the laugh in Patrick's voice.
"Because they hate me now!" Spongebob whisper shouted so he wouldn't wake his parents. "Why did you tell them we were dating? They said I had to go to a camp to fix me! I- I can't believe you would do this to me." Patrick rolled his eyes.
"Calm down it'll be fine, we're dating it doesn't matter what they think." Spongebob was shaking with anger now. Patrick was smiling.
"No it won't, because we aren't dating anymore." Spongebob pointed to the window trying to tell Patrick to get out, Patrick made fists and walked back to Spongebob before leaving, he punched Spongebob. Spongebob tumbled to the ground with tears streaming down his face.
"You little slut, you said you loved me. I hate you!" Spongebob was crying and Patrick hopped out of the window flashing Spongebob a middle finger before retreating into his own house. Spongebob was left in his room quietly crying.
Spongebob got no sleep and his eyes were puffy. He still had to go to school. He avoided his parents and quickly made his way to school.
Spongebob left for school earlier than normal because he didn't want to run into Patrick. Unfortunately he ran into Squidward.
"Hey loser, not with your little boyfriend today are ya?" Squidward was smirking, but his hands were in his pockets. Today on the way to school for the first time Spongebob wasn't getting shoved to the ground by Squidward.
"We aren't dating anymore." Spongebob looked down at the ground and Squidward's friends walked away. Squidward watched them until they were out of earshot.
"Can we talk Spongebob?" Spongebob was confused about why Squidward had used his actual name. Despite that Squidward had bullied him, he still wanted to talk about what they had done after they finished studying.
Squidward brought Spongebob behind the school. Spongebob was worried that he would be late, but he decided it would be fine if he didn't have to see Patrick in the halls. Squidward leaned against the wall of the school and Spongebob stood awkwardly in front of him.
Squidward said, "I love you Spongebob."
