Love Works Both Ways (boyxboy)

Chapter 1

*Evan's POV*

I woke up with a scream. This seems to be happening a lot. I have night terrors and they are all the same.  It was That Night again. The night I will never forget. They get worse and more twisted with every night. It is something that will haunt me forever.

I turned to the to clock on my nightstand and it read 6:30AM. Dammit, I have school to attend. So with one quick motion, I threw my legs off the side of the bed and trudged over to my closet. I pulled out a dark colored t-shirt and then walked over to my dresser and pull out black skinny jeans. I grabbed my high tops and my black framed glasses. God I wish it took me longer to get ready. So I grabbed my backpack and ran down the stairs. Which was very surprising considering I'm not in shape in the least. But nevertheless, I grabbed my headphones from the table and made my way to the door yelling a goodbye to my parents as I made my way out of the house. I plugged  my headphones into my phone and blasted music into my ears. I made my way down the uneven  sidewalk tripping once or twice. Within a good ten minutes I stumbled upon the school grounds.

It was the first day so there were loads of girls in vibrant colored dresses hugging one another. Taking pictures together, the typical girl stuff. All the guys are huddled around each other slapping each others back with huge grins on their faces. Probably talking about what they did over the summer. I slowly made my way past them into the Senior hallway so I could relieve my back of some of the binders that the school requested we get. My locker was in my sight and I started to walk faster. Although, I wasn't very surprised to find myself on the floor. I didn't even have to look up to know who was snickering at me.

"It's the first day can't you cut me some slack?"

"Don't talk to me you faggot!" Aaron's voice screamed at me. Aaron is my tormenter. He has been since my sexuality became known throughout the entire school. How you ask? Well you see Aaron used to be a close friend of mine in 3rd grade and one thing led to another and I started to gather feelings for him. I was around the age of 9-10 so I didn't know what they were, and being the immature idiot I was, I told him, thinking I could trust him. But I was horribly mistaken because he had already been informed about the whole homosexuality thing because his parents are strict Catholic's. And him being a raised homophobe screamed "I don't want to go to Hell! Get away from me you sinner!" He then proceeded to kick me in the shin and run away. After that he and his new popular friends started to beat me up.

"I have a name you know? It's Evan, you should try it out sometime and I wouldn't have to talk to you if you didn't constantly push me!" I hissed angrily. But I shouldn't have opened my mouth because my comment was returned with a kick to the stomach. By this point kids started to form a circle laughing and pointing at how pathetic I was being, just letting him beat me up. But I wasn't the most fit person so I didn't try and fight back. I was pretty tall though, 5' 11" to be exact, I had brown hair that was constantly getting in my blue eyes. I was as skinny as skinny could get before you start to see rib. I have no muscle whatsoever and that is because I'm not physically active. At all. I spend my free time reading or hanging out with the only two people that would allow themselves to be seen with me. The very eye appealing Hall twins, Nate and Alex.

Aaron wound his foot back about to kick me again but stopped about 2 inches from me because he heard Alex's ear bleeding scream.

"Get the hell away from him you little piece of shit!" Her and Nate have been saving my ass since the 8th grade. They are brother and sister, hence the twin thing, and moved here from North Carolina. I was being beat up in  the back parking lot of our middle school on one of the first days they were there. They saw me as they were leaving and ran over and defended me from Aaron and his friends. After Aaron and them left I thanked them and was about to leave but they stopped me and asked if I wanted to hang out with them. I obviously said yes considering that I didn't have any friends. That was the birth of my first friendship since Aaron left me.
