Josh's POV

-After School-

I was walking down the street, heading towards mine when I saw Max ahead of me, I completely ignored his presence after all he only wanted attention and I wouldn't give him the pleasure of getting that attention he was basically begging for.

But as I walked past him he grabbed me by the arm and dragged me off somewhere, I tried getting away but it seemed like he wasn't having any of it.

Once we had reached somewhere private he finally spoke. "How fucking dare go ahead and do what you did!" His angered voice accused, I knew exactly what he meant but I decided to play innocent. "What did I ever do to you?" I asked. Max just scowled at me, I had to stop the smirk from spreading across my face. "You know full well what you did! You fucking bitch!" He exclaimed, his rage bearly in check. I could see his fist clenching and unclenching. Obviously he was enraged, but I found this humourous so I continued playing innocent, knowing full well what I was getting myself into.

"I think you've mistaken me for someone else! I haven't said a thing to you!" I proclaimed. A scoff came from Max and next I know I'm being hit in the face with a fist.

Oli's POV

I sighed as I walked home alone like I used to, I liked having Josh around, every moment we spent together were the most wonderful. Whenever I was alone that's when the dark thoughts came rushing out and I hated it. They would somehow ruin my day.

I walked into my home, feeling like pure shit. I recalled the events that happened earlier on today and I couldn't help but blame myself. I shook the thought away, reminding myself that Josh did that because he loved me.

I began to make my way to my room, once I got there I took out my iPod, planning on listening to music for the rest of the day. I soon clicked shuffle, my ears being met with the beautiful music of Slipknot grace my ears.

I was walking to school but without Josh, he was either already there or he wouldn't be coming in at all today. I just hoped he was already at the hell on earth, more commonly known as school.

When I walked into school and headed over to my locker I noticed Josh wasn't there waiting for me.

"Did he not want to come because of yesterday...?"

That was the only thing I could think of right now. I knew that I was panicking but only the slightest. "He's most probably ill...Yea that's probably it..." I thought to myself, this reassured me slightly. "But he didn't seem sick yesterday...It's not like you could just catch something overnight...."

I sighed not wanting to be dealing with the conflicting thoughts right now. I walked into my first class, seeing an all too happy Max. He seemed to be bragging about something and when I walked pass him, has decided to loudly tell everyone how he had beaten up the fag's boyfriend.

I felt my blood boil as rage surged through my body. It took everything I had not to walk over to him and just punch him in the face. He sent a smirk my way and I just continued walking to my seat wanting to ignore his horrendously loud boasting.

He finally shut up when the teacher walked in. I have never been more thankful because if his boasting continued I would've just gone ahead and acted on the urge to punch him, but then that would've lead to him beating me up as well, not like I could give two shits about it anyway. After all it had been a natural occurrence which had had slowly begun to stop after Josh arrived.

The teacher soon began speaking and I just couldn't focus, knowing full well that Josh had been hurt by Max.

Today dragged, it felt like the world was against me, to make things worse I had been continuously reminded that I was nothing more than a useless piece of shit. Obviously the school took advantage of Josh not being in by throwing hurtful comments my way.

I just wanted to go home, curl into a ball and cry until I couldn't cry anymore.

So I went ahead and did just that.
