Autumn Leaves And Winter Snowflakes

Round 2, Fight!

"Bow! Dad's calling us downstairs. Bow! Bo-. WHat are you doing?"

Stefan had just barged into Bow's room after failing to call him from outside. Only to find Bow neck deep in clothes.

" Looking for uh- Clo..thes." Bow replied the struggle evident in his voice.

" Well, when you're done be sure to come down."

Stefan had invited a few of his friends, Liam, Derek, Jack, Nikita, And Harmony. He'd heard Stefan talking about them but didn't take anything seriously, turns out they're all good friends now.

Bow however had invited Luna but Stefans oversized, elongated oral cavity aka his enormous mouth had other plans and invited Bow's bandmates in Music Club.

Stefa had one job, picking Bow up from practice. For once he seemed to be doing fine the first two days, then out of nowhere he decided to come early on Friday and blew Bow's cover. Yes, Mega1, The band's name, were his sort of friends but they weren't close enough for him to care. The only reason he even spoke to them was because of the band, other than that he barely saw them during school but the world couldn't let him have one free weekend.

"Hi Bowwy! I couldn't sleep because I was so excited that YOU, Bow Di Angelo, invited me to his humble abode."

Bow stepped back letting Luna in.

"What's so special about that?" He said emotionlessly.

" It took alot to get you to even consider me your friend, I didn't expect to be meeting your parents so early." She said with a wink.

Of course he knew she was joking but he would pay millions and sell his left leg for her to mean what she just said.

" Oh Hi Bowwy!" Stefan screeched in an obnoxious high pitched voice, as he joined them in the dining room.

"Hello, I'm Luna." She said almost immediately. " Met you on the first day, remember."

" Oh hi. I do remember you, Luna. I see you've won the heart of my brother here. You are the first girl he's brought home in a long while. Emphasis on the while." There he went again spilling his guts out before he could be stopped. It's like he didn't have control over his own mouth.

"Well, I think you're reading into this too much. We're just friends. Right, Bow." She gestured to where he was standing. Then continued as he nodded his head. "But I am still honored."

Oh, Lord kill me now

A few minutes later guests started to pile into the house leaving whatever food, and gifts they brought with them and exiting out the back door into the backyard. Mr. Di Angelo walked down the stairs.

" Boys, be on your best behavior. And Stefan keep an eye on your brother to make sure he doesn't have another panic attack-. Oh hello. Who is this?"

" Dad, this..." Bow gestured to Luna. "Is Luna Mercano and she's my..."

"...Best friend." Luna finished with a smile.

"Yeah.." he said looking over to his dad.

" Well, Hello there Luna. I'm so happy to see my boy getting along with the people here. Let's go, children. It's time to have some fun."

And with that they commence the party, all trailing behind Mr. Di Angelo to the backyard.

Everything was going fine, Bow and Stefan had introduced their friends to their father. The adults were talking and the teens were sitting on the grass playing around. Sefan and Jack and Leo were playing frisbee. Luna was painting Bow's nails while talking to Milly. Bob, the drum player for Mega1 was talking to The rest of Bow's friends, Liam, Derek, Nikita and Harmony.

Then, all of a sudden the back door closed and Devon emerged with his dad, Mr. Jinbee. A dark energy suddenly settled on the backyard as he locked eyes with Bow then walked over callously.

"Hello, Mr. Di Angelo."

No answer.

" Would you like me to call you a freak again."

No answer.

" Since the freak is dumb now, how are yo-"

" Don't ever speak to, talk about, touch or even look in the direction of my brother or I will wipe that musty smile off your face before I rearrange it to look more discombobulated." Stefan was face to face with Devon breathing down his neck, hands on his collar and eyes narrowed.

" Cool out man." Devon said, shoving him.

That's when everyone, Stefan's friends and Bow's, stood up as Stefan lurched for Devon. He swung forward making him stagger momentarily he kicked him in the back but Devon pulled him down with him. Bow then grabbed him by his shirt pulling him off Stefan and punched him in the eye.

" Guys stop!" Luna yelled.

" Stefan!" Harmony screeched

The other boys tried to separate them but to no avail. The commotion had also grabbed the attention of the parents and other guests.

" Hey, hey boys stop it!" Mr. Di Angelo shouted.

As two other guests broke up the fight. Devon's dad "comforting" him while the others tried to explain what happened to the guests.

" STEFAN AND BOW INSIDE NOW." He said with that dark stare.

" What was that out there?" Mr. Di Angelo growled.

Bow and Stefan stood there side by side. Bow had blood forming above his top lip from his nose. Stefan had managed to get a large blow to his bottom lip and had blood accumulating in his mouth.

" Dad, he's been bothering Bow fro-"

"Oh, yes Mr. Fighttheneighbourhoodkids is back. Didn't you say you had controlled your anger. His father is one of the most influential people in this town. And now I wouldn't blame him if he doesn't want to ever speak to us again. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Acting like a fool in public isn't going to get you anywhere. It's been a year now, YOUR MOTHER IS GONE AND SHE ISN'T COMING BACK." He said, looking at Bow.

" Dad! Why are you blaming him? This child has been bothering Bow the day he came here. He was the one that vandalized his bike. And if anything Bow was only trying to help me. He wasn't the one that started the fight-. You-"

" No, Dad. You don't have to remind me how I'm the problem child. I'm the bad son. I'm the reason we had to move. But you know what, I'm tired of this... GAME you play with us. Like we're objects. All you care about are those stupid people and how you can please them. YOU RATHER SELL YOUR SOUL THAN TAKE CARE OF YOUR CHILDREN. YOU JUST DUMP ME AT THAT SHRINKS PLACE AND COME BACK EXPECTING ME TO FORGET HOW YOU KILLED MY MOTHER. SHE TOLD YOU YOU

TO STOP THE CAR BUT ALL YOU CARED ABOUT WAS GOING TO THAT STUPID MEETING TO GET THOSE IDIOTS TO SIGN A CONTRACT. A CONTRACT THAT CAN NEVER BRING HER BACK. THE CONTRACT THAT KILLED YOUR WIFE. I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER KNOWING THAT YOU'RE THE REASON SHE'S DEAD!" The words shot out of him. A whole year of hidden feelings and emotions. He had wanted to let his father know how he felt and now he did just that

"Bow." the faint whisper was heard as the three turned around to find Luna emerging from the hallway." Um, I'm sorry I didn't mean to eavesdrop I just came to check on you and-" with that Bow was out the door. He started his bike and moved as fast as possible.

I need to get out of here.
