We both froze Larry shoved me over and walked over to sal "sorry man.." I glared and got up dusting myself off,he did a lot more damage then I did but you could tell I got a few good punches in "just no Larry,let's just head to school.."he avoided looking at me as he dragged Larry away ,I guess it was fair he didn't care, at least he didn't leave me to die by Larry's hands.

I took a deep breath to calm myself and started walking I wasn't to far away from them walking I could hear sal scolding him,I slowed down,I didn't want to be walking to closely to them just incas my father somehow sees me or something walking to close to someone who doesn't go to church,finally I made it into school and I rushed heading to the bathroom, bumping sal a bit on the way, earning a glare from Larry I went into the bathroom and slipped into my usual stall and pulled out a small first aid from my backpack, using it to fix myself up ,I sighed once I finished and teared up,and decided to journal like usual,so I started writing letting my hand take control
-I know we don't know each other and you probably have your opinions of me I thought maybe if I told you how I feel things could be different the truth is I can't stop thinking about you I'm crazy about you I think you're amazing I know these feelings are wrong it's not the way a boy should feel shame swallows me whole my father would kill me but I can't live in his shadow forever,I just-
I scribbled out the last part and tossed it "god that's so stupid.."I teared up and started sobbing staying quiet"god I hate my life.."

I quickly cover my mouth when I hear foot steps and continue to cry silently and glanced at the ground where I saw some familiar shoes and faint paper noises before the feet came closer "is anyone in there?" I wiped my eyes "no duh fuckwad,buzz off!" I yelled and took a deep breath to calm myself

"Travis?...where you just crying a second ago?"I froze ,he heard me"Sally face?..I no what the hell,can't a guy get some privacy!"I snapped at him and lifted my feet and hugged my legs to my chest"it's ok to have emotions" I frowned more,I can't handle talking to him ,and I don't seem to be scaring him off "yeah for queers! Just leave me alone, alright?!" And sighed "why do you hate me so much?" I froze again and just said what would keep my image up "because you and your friends are a bunch of homos, it's sick,it's not right,if God doesn't love you why should I!" I yelled and hugged my legs tighter

"you know we aren't all gay right, except for Todd,Todd's super gay,but that's who he is and it makes him wonderful,he one of the kindest people I know,who could hate Todd?" I rolled my eyes on instinct and sighed at the fact he won't leave "is your father pushing these beliefs on you?" What,who the hell asked that out of no where I panicked as I responded "just because my dad's a preacher doesn't mean he owns me! Im my own person!" I said and hugged my knees tighter

"yeah but...well you seem so unhappy man,are you sure your dad isn't putting to much pressure on you? I bet it's tough being the son of such an intense man.."my stern face softened,god he doesn't know how horrible it is "you have no idea what it's like.."I mumbled,I heard him sit outside of the stall"do you want to talk me about it?" I wish I could "no thanks sallyface i'd rather keep my misery to myself.." I mumbled and sighed

"ok I guess..if you ever need to get away from your dad for a bit your always free to come hang out with me.." I heard him get up and walk out I sat here for a minute before grabbing my stuff and heading to class,I sat down and sat my bag down and the day went on like usual. Finally at the end of the day I was so tired of school,but fear sank in quickly after relief ,home was my next stop.

I sighed and went on my way to shove my journal into my locker so my father doesn't find it but of course I bumped into Larry ,he looked at my and scoffed, glaring I glared back "watch it faggot.."I grumbled and walked past him"you ran into my dumbass!" He yelled at me and I just walked out of school,god he gets on my nerves I started walking slowly back home, kicking a pebble around staring at the ground before arriving I went up to my room and sat my backpack on my bed and grabbed some clothes before going into my bathroom and getting into the shower.
I took my time showering,I had a long day,I fought Larry,we pissed off sal,then I went and cried like a baby in the bathroom and got caught by the on and only perfect sal,and almost told him about everything ,I sighed and finished up showering and got out drying off and changed into my pajamas before walking out and freezing,my father was sitting on my bed,legs crossed,my backpack was dumped on the floor and my father was holding....my journal..
