Saturday 12:00 p.m.

"Hello?"

"It's Remus."

"Oh! Remus! Hey! Um... How are you?"

"This was the thing I didn't want to tell you. You know, when I said I didn't want to scare you off."

"How would you having-"

"Don't say it."

"Sorry, so, um, what happened? Lily only told me where you were."

"Of course she would leave out how it's her fault. Well, not entirely but... okay so she told some girl on new team how I went on the date and thought it would be funny to put it all over the school news to embarrass me. I was fine with it for a bit until..."

"Until?"

"I'm trying okay? Just give me a second... Well, everyone at school knows I'm gay, and I'm subject to a lot of bullying. Well, there was this status and it was just some girl saying a lot of shit about me and it just made me feel so... so little. I'm filth and don't deserve to live. God messed up with me and I should just kill myself. So I thought.. I thought.."

"You're crying."

"I thought I might as well, right? Maybe I should just put the world out its misery."

"How did you do it?"

"You don't want to know."

"I really do."

"Well... I took a knife, got in the bath, and-"

"I changed my mind. I don't want to know."

"I'm sorry. I thought I was better. I didn't... I didn't want to drag you down."

"When are you getting out?"

"They're not sure yet. Last time it was a week."

"Last time?"

"I told you I would scare you off."

"Remus, I'm not going anywhere."

"I have to go. I only get the phone for a short amount of time, and I only get three a week, so next I'm going to call my mom."

"Alright, bye, Gay Wolf."

"Goodbye, Gay Star."

"Hey, Remus?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

"I..."

"You don't have to say it back."

"I love you too, Sirius."

 

Tuesday 12:01 p.m.

"Hey."

"I called to talk to my mom."

"Don't be like that."

"Don't be angry at you? How the hell do you expect me to greet you like nothing happened."

"I'm sorry! All right? I don't know what else to do! I brought the damn situation to the principal and she wrote him up!"

"Wow. A write up. That's so equivalent to this place."

"You did it Remus! You tried to kill yourself! Not me! Not the kid! You! I get that we had an effect, and I get it's hard to control, but it's like you don't even try anymore Remus. You're just sad all the damn time and mope around like the world is against you."

"Try telling me that when you've felt what I've felt. Now give the phone to my mother. I'd like to talk to her."

 

Friday 12:00 p.m.

"I think they're letting me out tomorrow."

"I want to pick you up."

"I'm sorry. That's not possible. I look awful."

"Hush child. Who's picking you up? Lily?"

"Lily and I currently aren't friends."

"So your parents?"

"Just my mom. Dad has to go back."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"So I'll have to talk to your mom about getting a ride."

"No no no. None of that."

"Yes yes yes. First thing I'll do when I get off the phone with you is call her."

"I'm in desperate need of a haircut."

"We can go together."

"No."

"Yes."

"Hate."

"Nah, you love me."

"Yeah, I do, but honestly, I look bad enough on a good day."

"Shut up nerd. You're adorable no matter what. Stop acting like a girl."

"I have to go. It's craft time."

"Make me a glitter penis."

"Will do."

AH! It's been a while and this isn't finished, but it's been 18 days and you all deserve an answer to the cliff hanger! This is about two Microsoft pages shorter than normal, but I have an essay due in a few days so I need to try and make it not shit. I may post it. Who knows? Anyway, next update will be longer and soon! Promise!
