Revengeful

The Beginning

   I don't even know how this could happen, I can't believe it even happened. One minute I'm enjoying my life with Salem, making wedding plans and finalizing everything, the next, being framed for his murder! My family and friends knew how much I loved and cared for him, yet they all thought I did it. I don't know what to do. All of the evidence somehow is directed and pointed at me for the murder. I was still found guilty no matter how much I pleaded, begged, anything. I swear on my life that I will hunt down who actually did it and will not stop until they're dead. I don't care as long as I get my fucking revenge on them.

   Salem and I were together for 6 years before I proposed to them when we were about 23. We were high school sweethearts and lived in a not-so-LGBTQ+ friendly town. We got called a lot of slurs, people looked at us with disgust, it was a lot. Especially for me since I'm a Transgender man. When Salem and I started dating everyone started giving him shit about it, saying that he's just straight and not gay since he was dating me, asking why he would date someone like me who's just faking it, making things really shitty for us but, no matter what was said about us he was still by my side. He didn't care as long as I was happy and safe. My parents were thankfully supportive of us, Salem's parents weren't on the other hand. They were supportive of him being gay but they hated me for being trans, it was sad since I really wanted to show them how much their son meant to me and how much I loved him, no matter how hard I tried though they wouldn't listen to me and just ignore me every time I was around. No matter how many times their parents looked at me with disgust, and said I was doing it for attention, told Salem they were disappointed in them for dating someone like me, they stuck around and said he didn't give a damn about what happened, he knew he wanted me in his life forever.

   We graduated high school and I got accepted into the college of my dreams. I talked to Salem about it and they were willing to travel and move with me so I could go. We saved up enough money by that point to get a big enough apartment for both of us, as I went to classes and studied Salem worked a full-time job to get some money for us, and I only worked a part-time to make a little extra. I was studying to be a detective so things were pretty busy for me most of the time, but we found ways to still go on dates and spend time together. I also worked on transitioning more physically, I got a chest binder and started testosterone not long after I started college. It took some time to get used to and took a lot of energy out of me, but I was feeling a lot better about myself after that. After a few more years, not long after I turned 23, I bought a ring and proposed to Salem while we were on the beach one evening. I could tell he wasn't expecting it since he was in complete shock, but they said yes with no hesitation after processing what was happening. Life seemed to be on my side, everything was perfect, but it all went down hill a month after I graduated.
