My escape

Chapter 1

Waking up for school was not something I wanted to do I been so stress lately trying to complete my work and projects before graduation but I knew I had it in the bag. I got up washing up and getting dress seeing my older brother and sister doing the same thing as he was always my support system after my mom and dad, I finished getting dress heading downstairs meeting my mom and dad as they were making coffee, “good morning baby, have a great day at school, your birthday is tomorrow by the way”

“I know im so excited”

“were inviting family over”, that’s what I didn’t want her to do cause Tomorrow I turn 19 and I was finally going to tell them I’m gay, I know someone knew but just didn’t ask me straight but I guess ill have to tell everyone the truth tomorrow, I’m scared what they going to do and say but lets pray on it.

I went outside to wait for the bus with my brother coming right behind me as I looked at the time, “the bus already came”, I signed loudly as we walked to school pass the crackhead and druggie to the cute thug boys standing on the corner, I always had my eyes on one of them his name was Barnard but the straights called him bar, he was one fine dude, he kept his self together, shoes always stay fly and clean and never took shit from nobody, we walked pass them as I looked at him and he looked back at me and winked with nobody seeing, he use to be in middle school with me but he dropped out now he’s doing that for living. My brother stopped to talk to them and I couldn’t understand what he asked but they started punching at him as my brother fall as I heard one of them say grab him, as I looked and got scared with bar telling them to stop.

I helped my brother up as we ran to school cause we was already late, we quickly ran down the street up the stairs into the doors before the bell ring I carried my bag to class as I sat in the front as she started her class. I sat and listened for a while before I got distracted by my phone going off in my pocket saying “goodmorning sexy”, from my ex I didn’t wanna deal with, we only been dating for 4 months before he started being weird and toxic about me coming out with him knowing I couldn’t at the moment. I just ignored him with another notification vibrating my leg as I pulled it out seeing another unknown number saying, “aye sorry about your brother”, I was confused who it was but my first thought went to this morning

with Barnard, “umm is this bar”

“Yeah it is, glad I can get a text back”

“umm why you texting me”

“Because I just wanted to apologize for my boys, yo brother asked a stupid as question so he got what he deserved but I’m sorry you had to see it”

“I guess it’s ok Glad you stop them before they got to me”

“Yeah, of course wouldn’t let nobody put they hands on you”

“That’s sweet”, he was pulling me in from how sweet he was being but I know I couldn’t be with him or date him from his career, from my parents to so much more I just couldn’t do it.

“save me in your phone”, he said sending a beautiful sexy as picture of him

“wow”

“what”

“Your just fine”

“thank you I think your fine as well”

“stop lying”

“Your right cute”, I got scared when i saw that cause he sent the first two words first and sent it then followed by cute, as I laughed in my head putting my phone down waiting for her to pass these papers out, to check my phone again. She passed them out as I got butterflies and right when she said work silently, I quickly pulled my phone out seeing what he said, “aye come to my house later”
