Take The Risk || The Black Phone

Chapter 9

(Vance angst, Brance)

TW: Homophobia, F slur

Third person POV:
(9:30am, Bruce's house)

Bruce yawned and sat up, looking around his room, he saw Vance passed out on the floor. Guess he forgot he let his boyfriend stay over.

Bruce quietly got out of bed and made his way to the door, avoiding Vance so he wouldn't wake him up. He walked downstairs and was met with Amy in the living room, watching her favorite show for the millionth time.

Amy looked at her brother, "Morning Ru!" she smiled and Bruce couldn't help but smile back, sure his sister was a bit irritating but he loved her more than anything. He walked over and sat beside her on the couch, they conversated for a while before Vance came downstairs.

Vance's POV:
I made my way downstairs and saw Bruce and his sister in the living room, they looked in my direction and Bruce got up and walked over to me. "Morning amore." I smiled down at him, he kissed my cheek. "Morning!" He looked up at me. God he was fucking adorable.

He dragged me over to the couch and we sat down, he laid he head on my shoulder and I put my arm around him. After about half an hour his little sister got up and gave him the remote, I'm guessing she was bored and wanted to do something else.

Bruce picked up the remote and put our favorite show on, it only comes on TV in the mornings sadly. I reminded myself that I needed to go home today, I couldn't avoid my dad forever, as much as I wanted to.

I sighed then sat up, he looked at me. "Love what's wrong?" He asked, I kept staring at the floor. "I have to go home eventually Bruce, as much as I'd love to I can't keep avoiding my father." He grabbed my hand. "And I'll need to tell him about..us." I looked at him.

"Are you sure you're ready? What if he doesn't accept?" Bruce asked and I put my hand over his. "Don't worry, I'm ready, and if he doesn't accept that won't change anything between us I promise." He smiled and laid his head on my shoulder.

"What time do you think you're leaving?" He asked but he kept his head on my shoulder. "Maybe around 12, I don't want to be back so late." I could feel him nod into my shoulder so I knew he was listening.

Time Skip: Bruce's house (11:45am)

Vance's POV(still):

Bruce and I were still watching TV in his living room, I decided to check the time on my phone, 11:45am, fuck.

I guess he looked at my phone the same time I did, because he spoke up. "11:45 already?" I could tell he was a bit sad by the sound of his voice. "I'm sorry love, I'll try to come back tomorrow, if he lets me." I mumbled the last part and put my phone away then got up, he got up too.

"Can I come with you?" He asked as he looked up at me, I looked down at him and thought for a second. "If you want to, but stay by me okay? I don't trust him around you." He nodded and we headed for the front door.

In about 10 minutes we made it to my house, 5 minutes before noon. I stared at the door handle, a bit scared I hate to admit. I felt Bruce's hand on my shoulder, we looked at each other then back at the door, I slowly opened it.

Once it was wide enough for both of us we stepped in, I made sure Bruce stayed behind me just in case. My dad was in the living room, he looked right at us and got up fast. Fuck I think this was a bad idea.

"Vance where the fuck have you been?!" He yelled and grabbed my vest pulling me closer to him, I tried my best to keep from looking scared. "Obviously away from your annoying ass." I said, but I think I should've stayed quiet. He let go of my vest and I backed up. "Before you beat my ass I want to tell you something."

"Well?! Spit it out!" I hesitated and looked at Bruce, he nodded. "Dad. This is Bruce, my boyfriend." He had an expression on his face that seemed like a mix of surprised, angry, and disappointed. "What?! You're a f@g?!" He yelled, fuck. I made sure to keep a distance between us and him.

"So what if I am? You can't do anything about it!" I shouted at him and he got even angrier, I had no idea that was possible. The yelling and name calling continued for about 30 minutes, I looked at Bruce and I could tell he was terrified.

"ENOUGH, I'M FUCKING TIRED OF YOUR INSULTS AND CONSTANT PUT DOWNS!" I yelled loud, a bit too loud. He walked over to me and slapped my face, I stood there unphased, he's done this before. "If this is what you want, then you are no longer my son, Vance Hopper." I went from unphased to being in utter shock, I looked at him.

"What?.." I could feel tears forming in the corner of my eyes, threatening to fall. "You heard me, I am no longer your father and you're no longer welcome in my house." I watched as he said nothing else, he just walked away. I slowly fell to my knees.

Bruce ran over and wrapped his arms around me from behind. I couldn't hold it in anymore, the tears in the corner of my eyes began falling. Bruce moved from behind me to in front of me, he pulled me close and I buried my face in his chest.

Bruce's POV:

I kept Vance in my arms trying to comfort him the best I could. I heard footsteps and quickly looked up, it was Griffin. "Bruce? What happened why was my dad shouting?!" This caused Vance to look up, I saw him quickly wipe the tears from his eyes and get up, I got up as well. "Listen Griff, I told dad about Bruce and I, and he disowned me then kicked me out." Vance talked in a low voice. Griffin looked at him in shock, at least I think, just like Vance he was difficult to understand.

"What?!" Griffin raised his voice a bit, which Vance hushed him for. Griffin hugged Vance tight, Vance returned the hug. I could hear Griffin sobbing into Vance's stomach, he was much shorter than Vance after all. I felt bad for them, I don't think my parents would let Vance stay with us, they never liked him because of his reputation.

But worth a short, right?...
