Caleb looked at himself in the mirror, his green hair was combed to perfection. He wanted to make a good impression on Jason tonight. Whilst he wasn't quite ready for a relationship he also didn't want Jason to lose interest in him at all. He'd picked out a fun red, white and green festive Christmas jumper paired with skinny jeans.

Sighing at his own reflection Caleb headed into Jayden's room "Hey Jay buddy, I'm just headed out okay? I'll be back pretty late, so if Dad asks I'm at Ebony's for a sleepover tonight yeah?" Caleb explained kneeling down beside Jayden's bed.

Jayden nodded shyly "Can you read me a story before you go?" He asked quietly, Caleb nodded instantly picking up a book.

"Of course Jay" Caleb replied warmly flicking open the night time story and beginning to read it, eventually Jayden's eyes shut and his breathing slowed to a steady pace indicating he'd fallen asleep. Caleb smiled down at him kissing his forehead before quietly leaving the room heading downstairs.

He grabbed his coat putting it on to shield himself from the cold, then opened his door. The blue pick up truck was already parked in the usual spot however to Caleb's horror Mr Walters was now backing into the drive.

Caleb froze watching his Dad's car grind to a halt and the engine shut off, Mr Walters stepped out of it scowling at Caleb angrily "And where do you think you're going this late at night faggot?" He demanded as the two paced towards each-other meeting at the middle of the drive.

Hearing another car door slam from just up the road Caleb gulped "Errrr I'm-" he started but he couldn't finish his sentence before his dad slapped him in the face, Caleb recoiled with a hiss feeling his cheek.

He looked up Mr Walters tears clouding his vision, however out of no where Jason's voice rang out "Hey! Leave him alone!" Jason boomed jogging down the driveway and squaring up to Mr Walters standing protectively in front of Caleb.

"Ah I see how it is. Got a boyfriend here to protect you cause you're too weak to fight your own battles, pathetic Faggots both of you" Mr Walters spat venom lacing his every word at the homophobic remark.

"If you don't fuck off right now old man, you're gonna hurt" Jason vowed menacingly stepping toward Mr Walters with intimidation. Mr Walters seemingly realised he wouldn't win this fight and screwed his face up stomping inside then slamming the door loudly.

Caleb looked at the floor shamefully feeling a tear fall down his face "Let's go to the truck Elf, he isn't gonna hurt you. Not tonight" Jason reassured him wrapping his arm round Caleb's shoulder and guiding him to the pick up truck.

"Sorry" Caleb choked out as they drove to the bar, he felt like he'd already ruined the night for them both.

Jason shook his head dismissively "Nothing to be sorry for Elf, he's a sick and twisted man. You deserve to be loved" Jason told him reassuringly his eyes not leaving the icy road.

Once they'd pulled up to the bar Caleb was feeling better, the sound of loud music and shouting from within made him slightly nervous but with Jason's reassuring touch he knew it'd be okay.

They entered the bar hand in hand the smell of alcohol filling Caleb's nostrils, Caleb realised pretty quickly that it was a gay bar which made him feel instantly safer holding Jason's hand. The bar itself was busy, they sat themselves at a small table in the corner talking loudly so they could hear each-other.

"You come here often then?" Caleb asked jokingly after one of the staff members spoke to Jason by name asking him when his next shift was.

Jason laughed and shook his head "It's my first time, that guy is just a super obsessed stalker" he jibed back raising his eyebrows.
