!TW!: use of the f slur

The next morning I woke up to people arguing. Hearing my parents argue was never a new experience but this time it was different. I could hear Puffy's voice? I slowly slid off my mattress and threw on a random hoodie from my closet. I walked downstairs to see my mother and Puffy screaming at each other with my dad in the background having no idea what to do. Puffy looked beyond pissed and she had backpacks full of stuff on her back and in her hand. I just stood there confused and slightly scared.

"There you are John go back upstairs and pack a couple of bags were leaving." Puffy shouted over my mothers shrieks of protest.

"Hes not going anywhere I am his mother and what I say goes! You can leave right now and go be a fagot somewhere else. Not in my home go!"

"You only want him to stay so you can have that sick power trip! Don't deny it I know what you did! You hurt him again last night didn't you?! And plus he's eighteen he is legally allowed to decide if he wants to come live with me and Minx or not!"

I started walking backwards to the stairs to go and pack some stuff as soon as I heard we where going to room with Minx. When I got to my room I immediately started yanking things off hangers and chucking them into a large gym bag. When the bag was full I moved on from my closet to my drawers and started throwing stuff into a back pack. When I was finished I headed back down stairs to the screaming of my mother and sister once again. When I got down the stairs my mother gave me this glare that made her look like she was staring into the depths of my soul.

"You aren't going anywhere." my mother said sternly and grabbed my arm so tight her nails dug through my hoodie and into my skin. Puffy quickly grabbed me and wrenched me out of my mothers grip. Puffy pushed me lightly to the door as she opened it. Puffy turned around, glare hatefully at my mother, and without hesitation, spat on the hard wood floor in front of her feet. My mother let out a sound of disgust as we walked out the door. I slumped down in the passenger seat of me and Puffy's shared vehicle. I smiled to myself realizing I don't have to worry about getting home early anymore and I can now see Ghostbur any time I wanted.

"Why are you smiling like an idiot?" Puffy asked, slightly nudging me as she backed out of the driveway.

"I don't have to worry about getting home early anymore." I said continuing to smile while looking out the window and watching trees fly by."

"You know your gonna have to let me meet this Ghostbur some time soon, right?"

"Can we go today?" I asked, beaming up at her.

"Sure why not but I'm going to have to ask Minx if I can go or else shes gonna get sad and think we ditched her."

"Fuck yeah!" I cleared my throat "I mean thank you." Puffy chuckled to herself and turned into an apartment complex. I got way more excited than necessary when we pulled into a parking space in front of one of the apartment buildings. I quickly jumped out of the car and ran to the front of it. Puffy pulled her bags out of the trunk and started walking to the apartment. I hurried to follow behind her. Puffy picked out a key on the ring for the car keys and plugged it into the door and turned the lock. I immediately busted through the door scaring the ever loved shit out of Minx and her cat.

"What the fuck John you could have given me a heart attack!" Minx shouted at me, her thick Irish accent seeping out more with every word. I apologized to Minx and then dashed to the room that she told me i would be sleeping in. "Whats his problem?"

"Hes in love Minx cut him some slack. Speaking of which John and I are going to be going to meet his ghost boyfriend when he calms the fuck down." I heard Puffy say from the living room loud enough to make sure I heard.

" He's not my boyfriend!" I shouted out my room door.

"Mhm all he ever talks about is the ghost boy." Puffy said, trying to tease me more.

"I wanna go." Mix whined to Puffy.

"She can come!" I said jumping out from behind my bedroom door.

"Fuckin dork-" Minx mumbled.
