"So, who's this?" Dad asked, coming outside. At that point, June had been here almost a half hour and we were just chilling outside talking on any type of things.
"Dad, this is my partner, June." I said, holding their hand as I introduced them.
"Hello, Mr. Nox. I'm Mx. June Kettei." June said, reaching their hand out. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
Dad looked June over and saw that their hand was stretched out. Luke and I could see that dad was trying to figure out what was going on. June was wearing dark blue jeans, which you could tell were from the women's section, and a red crop-top shirt that showed a little of their black bra underneath.
"What are you? My son said he wasn't a fag but here is another guy standing here." Dad bellowed.
"I'm their partner. Not boyfriend. I am dating them though. I'm Non-Binary. I don't identify as male or female." June said, looking at me. I give them a loving smile and give their hand a reassuring squeeze which was also thanking them for the pronoun use.
"What's in your pants?" Dad asked.
"DAD, YOU CAN'T JUST ASK SOMEONE THAT!" I yelled in surprise.
Right after, I feel myself hit the ground. I didn't know what had happened until I looked and saw dad with his fist curved. The pain started in my face then too. Dad punched me in the face.
"Silas, are you okay?" June asked. They were also on the ground but more on their knees than backside. I looked at June, luckily, dad didn't touch them.
"Dad, why did you punch Silas?" Luke asked. His tone was a lot more demanding than questioning. "They're your child!"
"I don't have queer children." Dad said then turned his back to us and began to walk inside.
Luke pulled out his phone and started calling someone, I'm going to guess it was mom. Luke's tone on the phone made mom constantly scream, least until we all were yelling as things were being thrown out a window. We all went to check the stuff before anything else came flying... it was my stuff. Dad was throwing my stuff out of his house.
My eyes instantly started filling with tears. Dad hates me and wants nothing to do with me. If June and Luke weren't here with me, I don't know what I would do.
Luke said he would be right back, still on the phone with mom as he ran into the house, breaking the front door in. Dad must have locked it. There was a lot of screaming going on from inside the house, dad's neighbors soon came around to see what was going on. I was in no position to speak so June did. June informed the neighbors what was going on and about dad punching me in the face, the mark still on my face.
"Oh shit, oh shit!" Luke started screaming from inside the house.
Luke came bursting out of the house, placing the door back a little as a barrier right before we heard a gunshot and a hole ended up right beside Luke's head. Luke was cussing up a storm as he ran to stand next to us. Dad kicked the remaining part of the door open, it breaking off being kicked the wrong way, and you could see the guns in his hands.
"Put those away!" The neighbors started screaming. At that point, a few had called the cops. "You're going to seriously hurt or kill someone with those! You almost hit your son in the head!"
"I have no children!" Dad bellowed. "Those boys may be my offspring's but not my children. If they want to claim to be my children, then they can either change their choices to be queers or I'll end them right now."
Luke and I looked at each other worried. We never knew dad was holding this much hatred. The neighbors all looked at us in sorrow. You could tell they wanted to say something but thought it was best for us to reply. Just then, mom came running up from behind and got in front of us.
