Silver walked down the steps, his music blasting in his ears. He had no awareness of what was around him since Allison left to get gas leaving him alone to ponder his ex-boyfriend holding the biggest secret he has.

"Oh what the hell, mom?" Silver yelled as his mom ripped out the earbud. "Sit." She said to him pointing to the kitchen table. "Do I have a choice?" He muttered annoyed. He took the seat across from his mom as the two just stared at each other in silence.

He tapped his fingers against the table trying to avoid his mom's death glare. "Great talk." He said getting up. "Sit down." Victoria told him making the boy scoff.

"Do you remember when you were thirteen?" Victoria asked her son, "Why you were in the hospital?"

Silver glanced down to his arms hating the fact he could still feel the burning. "You were thirteen and your birthday was -"

"A week away." Silver interrupted his mom, "My first boyfriend wanted to give me my gift early and his friends caught us kissing in his car by the woods. They were holding the bow I was helping them learn how to use and they chased me. I woke up in the hospital to see you, Allison and dad there. But you left."

"I had to take care of your sister. She couldn't sleep in the hospital room for one more night. We waited three days for you to wake up." Victoria said to him with tears in her eyes. "No you left me." Silver hissed at her.

"Arthur-"

"Dad stayed with me all day and all night. For the seventy - two hours they held me for suicide watch because dad was scared to bring me home and watch me die." Silver screamed. "He wanted to keep me safe and you couldn't care."

"I had to take care of your sister." Victoria kept on saying, "I pulled you out of school and kept you out of school until San Francisco." Silver shook his head as he ran his fingers through his hair. "You convinced dad to keep my sexuality a secret, and threw a fit when I gave up archery."

"But then you met Michael." Victoria says with a smile, "It was fine. You were happy." Silver held back a scream as he stood up and faced his mom, "Then you helped him and Allison cheat on me. I was happy then all of a sudden I was thirteen back in that hospital room with no one but dad." 

Victoria walked over to her son, cupping his face and wiping away the tears. "I love you Silver. But you need to grow up, okay? Michael is someone who can protect you, Allison will find someone like Michael. But Scott will only lead you to failure."

"Can we talk? Alone?" Silver turned his head to the side before staring at Scott and Allison climbing the rock wall. "No." He told Michael. "Silver. This is important." Michael whispered trying to get his attention.

"I would rather watch my boyfriend climb the rock wall. He has a pretty nice ass." Silver admits with a smirk. "Did Allison talk to you?" Michael asked him, "Did she tell you what she saw the other night?"
