And there we were at the only cafe there was in this hell hole of a town, sitting in the same booth we did every day after school because both our families sucked.
If only we could go back in time and stop my dad from ever picking up a bottle of fucking beer, look at him now never putting it down.
Now, hug meo ok at Spencer he always looks like nothing is wrong even though his house was worse. I don't know how he can just sit there with a smile and his beanie, he never took off some saying it's part of him, all I wish for is to be for me and he leaves this place. Silver cove the name seems so peaceful but it no-
"Theo you there, you've been spaced out for a while?" spencer asked "ya I'm fine, just tired" I respond quickly
"I have to go, sorry my mom wants me to watch my brother" I added
"Tell Jami I say hi for me," he said disappointed I had to leave
"I will," I said as I walked out of the cafe.
Time flies. It's already dark. I need to get home, I thought to myself.
I walk in the door Jami is sitting in his room reading as he does, to pass the time I feel bad for him more than I do myself because I was 15 but he is a child he's only 11, I walk up to my room and lay down on my bed just to turn on my phone and sit there for hours tell.
Drunk laughter burst thru the front door it was my dad I rushed out of my room and to my little brothers, The Moment I heard them and brought him to mine because I don't like him being around our dad, he's not a good influence. Jamie walked over to my desk chair and sat down to go back to reading and I fell asleep.
I woke up and got ready for school and walked downstairs to see my dad and his buddy passed out on the couch I kept walking to the kitchen and got me and Jami breakfast we didn't have any, clean bowls, so I did the dishes so he could have breakfast I take are cereal up to my room than woke him up and handed him his food, "Thanks, theo'' he said, still half asleep I walked back across towards the door and grabbed my jacket off the hook next to the front door to head to school. It's a mile walk. I leave early to meet up with Spencer. We walk to the gas station every morning to get drinks and snacks
"Hey,theo!" I heard from across the street I looked across the street to see spencer crossing the street, he normally doesn't leave till later so we don't see each other on our the way to the gas station but it was nice to see him it always was, he lit up my day, we were each other's sunshines it was nice having him around especially in are darker moments as we walked as he told me about how at dinner his parents were talking about how queer people sucked I offered that if he wanted he could stay at my house whenever but my dad hates this idea with all his heart. He hates everything about me and spencer, the fact was gay the fact that I'm not home as often as he thinks I should be, and a lot more things he thinks everything I do is wrong.
We finally got to the gas station " hi boys" the cashier greeted us well waving to us she knows us by name because of how often we come in she is our favorite worker here she's nice and is aways here often
I hear my phone buzz and it was alarm we were late for school, but that's ok because our teacher didn't care much she was just there because she needed money so we just checked out and walked for a little into school was close so we just walked a normal pace there was no need to run we lagged as we walked because spencer kept making jokes as we walked.
We walked into the school. The halls felt empty since everyone was in their class, we went our way to our classes. What a moment they were talking about being queer
"how fun", I said under my breath I w;/alk over up my seat I sit in the back so it's not a big deal but the kids in front of me kept yelling and shouting well our teacher was presenting a slide show most kids didn't care if you were gay but the kids that did were the problem they could ever shut up "can you shut the fuck up Bryce I swear to god why do you care sp much," Ii said frustrated
"Theo language!" my teacher said looking me dead in the eyes
"Ooooo,h the faggots in trouble Bryce and his friends said,
I clenched my hand so done with their shit and before I could respond punch him and then just like that a fight was started he could barely throw a punch at me beat the teacher and security guard split it up."pr principal's office now, we've already called your parents" I
"shit, shit" i repeated to myself, every step down that hall felt like I was in slow motion. As I walked I knew that my dad was gonna be so pissed, that's if he even got up off the couch that is. As i walk into the office kids are staringg from the windows of their classes, well looking back at them i make eye contact with spencer he stands up and just walks out of class "spencer what the fuck are you doing your going to be in so much trouble!" "and so are you " he added
We get in the principles office I see Bryce's dad sitting there and I look to the side of him to see my dad clearly hungover from the night before the only thought running through my head was the thought of what was going to happen to spencer after school before I could even process what was going on my dad had already grabbed my wrist and pulled dragged out of the school as he did so spencer ran up behind me, my dad unhooked his hand from my wrist and punched him MY dad just punched him the man I was about to have to ride home within the car- I look up to see Spence on the ground his nose was bleeding my dad had re-grasped my wrist " what the fuck dad!" I shouted as he kept walking, clenching my wrist harder than before. time felt so fast but so slow all at once I don't know how it just was. We got to the car that was the was when he let go of me I opened the car door and sat down in the seat the tension in the car was so thick you could cut it with a knife. It was the most silent 10 minutes of my life and probably his to never seen someone that mad,
We got home he just sat down on the couch "you just gonna stand there or are you gonna go up to your room and pretend no one else existed like you always do" my deadbeat dad said to me I respond with "do you know how much shit you've put me threw, I take care of Jami, not you, I, make sure he goes to school what do you even do here other than drink and yell at your kids"
"I didn't raise a faggot so know your not my kid you never will be," he said standing up and walking over to me before I knew he had raised his hand to my face, I walked up to my stairs in silence well my face turned red. I was still in shock I knew he was bad but he'd never hit me at least till today I go to lat on my bed to see my brother Jami's he had gone home early because he had a half-day at school I'm sorry theo, you didn't do anything" he said. my eyes started to the water I didn't even want him to see me like this especially not now. He walked off to his room I called spencer he picked up but he sounds like he'd been crying "are you ok" I asked him
"No," he said bluntly he turned on his camera he had a black eye I assumed his dad gave it to him but it wasn't all from his dad " after you dad took you I walked back to Bryce and I broke his nose" he stammered still sounding on the verge of crying
"You ok" he added
"Not really but that's ok"
