⎨☆A dream come true☆⎬

Again..

Again...

Again...

He thought about him over and over..

Like a song stuck in his head

He saw him crying

He heard the reason and was completely disgusted

Lloyd had been raped, there was no other word for it and no point in trying to find one

His body nearly dismantled and unraveled by his own father

After that he'd been abandoned

Thrown off the side of the road, again, by his own father

which leaves us in the present

.....

"STOP STOP IT PLEASE!" Lloyd woke up with a start, another nightmare, he felt so disgusting, so used, so terrible, he hated himself, 'couldn't I have done something..?'', he thought.

He started to cry, he broke down, he never let any of the other kids see him cry, it was viewed as a weakness, a flaw if you will, for a boy to be so fragile and crack under the slightest bit of pressure. That's what everybody here viewed the incident as, just a tiny bit of pressure, but no one understood what really happened, how much it hurt Lloyd, how it broke him in ways he didn't think were possible. No matter how many showers he took, how many times he changed his clothes, how many times he changed himself , he still couldn't get his touch off of him. 

But his crying seemed to alert his roomate, Brad. Brad and Lloyd were best friends, even though he but fire ants in Lloyd's bed his first day here, he simply explained that that was what you had to do to survive in a school like this. From there they had built their friendship into something unbreakable, Brad was the only one Lloyd could let his walls down around and vice versa.

"What's wrong? Did you have another nightmare?" Worry seeped into Brad's voice, feeling nothing but concern for his friend. Lloyd just nodded in response, his throat too dry to say anything, not only that but every few seconds he'd hiccup from crying.

Brad held him close, knowing him well enough to know the blond needed comfort, Lloyd just cried into Brad's shoulder, he cried and cried till he couldn't anymore, his eyes red and puffy and his throat sore and dry. "It was just a nightmare, as bad as this school is, he can't get you here, you're safe.." Brad attempted to comfort Lloyd, it was true, no parents were allowed to see their children till they graduated, which in Lloyd's situation was a dream come true.

Lloyd sniffled and tried to remember the breathing technique Brad taught him, 'In four, out seven', while Brad comfortingly rubbed his back, after a while, his crying subsided, and he calmed down, his heart no longer pounding in fear and his head no longer throbbing. 

Safe

Safe

Safe

That's right, he was safe now, from his father, and with Brad, from the world. Brad left his side for a few seconds, Lloyd's breathing started getting faster until Brad came back, a hot cup of tea in hand. He gave it to Lloyd. Lemon and cinnamon in green tea, his favorite. Lloyd sipped it, the comfort from it undeniably great, for once, he felt at peace, he and Brad snuck up to the school rooftop that same night, Lloyd drinking his tea and Brad there for support and comfort, the two watching the moon set and the sun rise, Lloyd got closer to Brad and Brad seemed to understand, Lloyd and Brad's faces were almost touching, then Brad closed to gap, giving a sweet kiss, though it only lasted a few seconds, it felt like forever, and to Lloyd, it felt so warm, so comforting, and wonderful, they pulled apart, just staring at each other, a light pink dusting their cheeks, then a school bell rang, but for once, Lloyd smiled, he realized, this school, Brad, was his dream come true.
