Warning ⚠️ there will be physical violence nothing too serious (as in harming the character badly... All physical violence should be taken seriously)

Benjamin p.o.v

I have never run this fast in my life as I made a usually 30-minute walk into a 10-minute sprint, I felt my phone vibrating the entire time but I didn't bother checking if I stop to look I'll just end up being even later than usual, I finally made it to the gate so I plugged in the code and watched the gate slowly open.

I quickly rushed to the door and tried to open the door with my key and failed multiple times as I kept failing to get the key in the keyhole because of my nerves, but I finally opened it and when I did I saw the scariest thing ever as sitting in front of the door right next to the stairs was my mother and father using the dining room chairs to sit and wait, "hey BLUEBERRY" my mother said through gritted teeth my father didn't speak he just glared, "where have you been" she asked giving me her mad smile.

"I... I got caught up with gf... At the mall, so I was late" I explained but my mother started cackling like a witch, "OH PLEASE, blueberry you know that's a lie" she said and I looked at her confused while deep down I knew I was in trouble, "don't look confused... Poor grace... Turned up at the house asking for you while I thought you were with her at the mall" she said standing up from her chair.

"Now... Who did you meet without permission?" my mother asked as she slowly walked forwards her heels tapping on the floor, "actually don't answer because I asked grace to look for you... And she messaged us" my mother was now standing in front of me towering above me, "you were hanging out with Mr school shooter as grace put it or as I remember him as Pico" my mother said and I started to dread was about to happen.

"I want to hear it out of your mouth," she said getting closer to me, she paused as I said nothing I knew that whatever I did I wasn't escaping unscathed, "SAY IT" she shouted into my face but I didn't reply and maybe I should have as my mother swung her hand around and slapped me across the face with so much power I was knocked back hitting my head off the door that was still open.

"GET IN HERE" She shouted as she dragged me by the hair and slammed the door shut, "HOW DARE YOU... DISOBEY ME AND YOUR FATHER" she shouted while grabbing a fist full of hair, I could only scream out in pain and cry as she yanked me to my dad "IF YOU WON'T SAY WHAT YOU DID WE'LL BEAT IT OUT OF YOU" my mother shouted as she pushed me into my father.

"Listen sport make this easier for the both of us and just say it," he said, I looked up at him with tears in his eyes and I decided now to grow a pair "he's I did... I met him because I should be allowed to choose who I hang out with" I started trying to clean the tears out of my eyes, my father let out a loud sigh as he stood up, now my father is tall and I mean he is taller than my mother so he was a literal tower.

"You just had to back chat didn't you," my father said and without even hesitating my father slapped me across the face way harder them my mother causing me to fall to the ground, again the only thing I could do was scream and cry as my face stung, but now just to add to the wound I felt my mother place her heel on my back putting pressure onto it as well "now... From now on you are not allowed to go anywhere without me or your father and if you go on a date with grace... She will pick you up here understood," my mother said as she applied more pressure.

I nodded so fast I felt my neck get whiplash, my mother removed her foot from my back and let me get up "now go to your room" she said in her kind and motherly voice as if she didn't just do anything, I wasn't going to argue instead I ran upstairs and into my room without saying a word the first thing I did was check my phone.

*You have 20 new messages*
*you have 5 missed calls*

When I checked to see who they were from they were all from Pico his messages were all along the line of "are you ok" or "why did you need to go" and I think it's best o told him so I started writing him a message.

Why did you leave? : 30 minutes ago

💙softie💙
My parents would be mad

❤toughie❤
Are they?

💙softie💙
Very mad

❤toughie❤
What happened? and please tell me

💙softie💙
Well... Grace came over and I had used her as a reason to meet you so my parents knew I lied and...

❤toughie❤
And what? What did they do?

💙softie💙
They may have hit me... It was only a slap or two nothing much really

I took a few breaths knowing that pico wouldn't take this nicely, and I knew what he was going to say.

❤toughie❤
Look... I have a friend who owns an apartment... It's where I have been living for months I'm sure if you ran away she would happily take you in.

💙softie💙
But my parents they... They'd be mad... And... And they'd hunt me

❤toughie❤
Softie... I like you and I... I hate seeing or hearing you in pain... Like in the alley it broke my heart... You were in a full panic crying in my arms you looked broken

💙softie💙
And I like you too but I'm used to this... This has been my life since a kid and as much as leaving sounds good... I just can't

It hurts me just seeing what I wrote it looked like I had just given up but this has been something that's been happening since I was a kid.

❤toughie❤
Please... I'm practically begging you to get out it's not healthy and families don't do that to their kids.

This hurt as it reminded me of when I met him in the alley and he begged me to charge his phone, it gave me the same butterfly feeling that made me feel bad I just wanted to cry seeing him "beg"

💙softie💙
Ok, I'll think about it... ❤

❤toughie❤
Thank you... Softie 💙

I felt my heart skip not only stated I'd think about running away but... I SENT HIM A HEART... AND THEN HE SENT ONE BACK... I know he said he liked me twice now but I don't think my brain can comprehend it, to me he is still straight he has always been the guy I looked up to as a way to act in school as to stay in the closet.

But this night I went to sleep with my phone on my heart and a smile on my face somehow even after what happened I still found today to be the best day of my life.
