Stay (A Baniel Love Story)

What is Going on?

                            Daniel's POV
Ouch! There is excruciating pain in my head. Where the hell am I? What happened?

At first I looked around everything was blurry and hard to make out. But after five minutes or so everything came back to me, I remember everything now.

Flashbacks and images hit me like a brick wall. I remember every blow they hit me with. The worst part was when they bashed my head against the cold hard lockers,  and the names they were calling me. There was so much hate in the room all directed at me.

Maybe I deserved it, what Beau made those kids do to me....  wait Beau. I completely forgot How I got here and the conversation we had just before I blacked out. He carried me all the way here. That must have been quite a show, the most popular kid in school carrying the school fag.

Why would Beau even contemplate helping me? I just don't understand.  I have No idea what to feel about him right now. He was the one that sent his raging homophobic apes at me. But he also helped me, he carried me all the way through the school possibly ruining his reputation.

But why would he do that for me? He is so confusing.  I have to talk to him. But How? I have to find a way, I need to know what is going on.

Maybe I will slip a note in his locker. That's it! His locker is only two lockers away from mine. But what should I write on the note? I don't want to sound too desperate, but I also don't want to sound too demanding either.
This is what I came up with. Beau we need to talk meet me at our old spot at exactly five pm tonight.

Short and simple he will know exactly who it is but No one else will, just in case someone decides to get nosey. I quickly slopes the note into his locker during homeroom that morning. Now all I have to do is see of he actually shows up tonight.

                          Beau's POV

So turns out a bunch of people saw me carrying Daniel and everyone is asking questions that I don't know the answer to. If I don't come up with something quick I will join Daniel as the other school outcast.

Damn, I knew I shouldn't have helped him I just felt so bad for him and I don't know why. It was just the way he was looking at me, those gorgeous eyes pleading for me to make the pain go away.

Wait...  what did I just say. Forget that I just called his eyes. I am just overwhelmed That's all, that is why I said it.

Anyway I went to my locker and found a note from Daniel. It didn't state it was him exactly but I just know it's him. He wants next to meet him at the old abandoned cabin we used to hang out in. Before everything happened,  but do I want to meet him there. He could be planning something.

I am not going and that is final, but I do want to know why he wants to talk but I don't know if I trust him enough to go. He might ask more questions , I am so sick of all these damn questions.

I guess I will just see How I feel about going but for now I have to get back to solving my reputation problem.

~Six Thirty P.M.~

I guess I will go to meet Daniel but only because I am curious to see what he wants. Not because I want to see him or anything like that.

I begin walking to the old place while thinking about what to say to Daniel when he starts asking questions. Should I apologize for what I did? I mean it was wrong of me. What do I care? Exactly That's right.

I reach the cabin after twenty minutes. That means Daniel should be here in about ten. So I guess I will go inside and see How it looks after all this time.

I begin to get flashbacks of all the memories that this cabin holds. Straight ahead there is an open space with and old rocking chair and worn down couch Daniel and I would sit at and talk for hours about what we thought would happen in the future.

Funny to think about wrong we both were. We both believed that we were always going to be friends No matter what, he thought we would graduate together, go to the same college, and share an apartment. That would never work now, we can't share an apartment now,  I am too afraid he would try something with me. What would happen if I liked it? No that would never happen...

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard my name being called by Daniel. I didn't know what to do, I was frozen. Why can't I move? He is going to think I ditched him.

I began to walk to the door I opened it and there was Daniel. He looked awful, his face was bruised and cut up. He had a black eye and a swollen lip. I felt extremely bad for him.

We just stood there and looked at each other. He looked shocked that I was actually here. I have No idea what to say. All that came out was " Daniel. "

He just looked right back at me. "Beau you actually came I am surprised you showed up. Want to sit on the couch and talk about what happened?"  He Asked wearily.

I wasn't thinking I just felt really uncomfortable being this close to Daniel. " I am so sorry about what happened Daniel, but I just felt bad for you and I didn't want to get in extra trouble that is why I helped you. I should probably go. " I said quickly.

"Beau please stay, I just want to talk. No one else is here it's just you and me. I promise I won't tell anyone this happened." Daniel said while reaching out to stop me from leaving.

All I could say is "Okay". That was it then I walked pi been to the couch and plopped down as far away from Daniel as I could get.  But what happened after that was astonishing.
