"The moon is beautiful, isn't it?" BL

       I knocked on the door and it immediately opened.
    "God damnit Lennox where the hell have you been?" My mom yelled at me.
     I turned to see Julian staring at me. I gave a slight smile and he started walking away.
    "Who was that boy?" She asked even louder than before.
     "A friend" I said smiling
"Get in here!" She yelled grabbing my arm and pulling me into the house.
     "Oh my god Lenny what happened to your leg?" Conner asked running up to me
    "I fell" I replied "but I got it cleaned up it's only a stain"
    "Conner get Hartley and Luke and bring them to your room please" mom said
     He nodded and grabbed Luke from the couch. Hartley wasn't even in the room to begin with but I guess she didn't want to take a chance.
    
     "Luke's here? So where's dad?" I asked
Luke is my dad's son. He is only my half brother so he doesn't live with my mom. I mean technically all of my siblings are half siblings.
     "In the kitchen" she said
It was like he knew we were talking about him because he walked into the room. He didn't give my mom a first look before he walked over to me and hit me so hard I fell down.
    "Shit. What the hells his problem?" I asked
"¿Dónde diablos has estado?" He said
      "Como le dije a mamá, estaba con un amigo" I replied
     "Si hiciera eso cuando era pequeño, mis padres me golpearían el culo. ¿Qué te hace pensar que puedes hacerlo?" He asked
    I rolled my eyes and didn't reply. I don't care if he does beat me. I don't care if he killed me at the moment.
     I started to walk away but I was knocked down again.
   "¿Qué diablos es tu problema?" I yelled at him
I didn't even let him say anything before I stood up and walked to my room.
    I wanted to throw things. I want to jump off a bridge. I want to shoot myself. I don't want to live.

     I walked in my room and slammed the door shut locking it. Even though it didn't do anything because I had a whole in it. I took my bloody jeans off and then put some sweatpants on. I took off the shirt and put of a different clean shirt.
     Ding!
My phone went off. I picked it up and saw the text was from Julian.
    'Everything ok?' He asked
'I mean no but that's how I expected it to be' I texted back
     'Are you ok tho?' He texted
I didn't respond. No I wasn't ok but I didn't want to tell him that.
    Then all of a sudden he was calling me.
"Hey sweetheart" he said after I answered
     "Hi" I said trying not to show the pain in my voice.
     "What's wrong" he asked
"My dad's being an asshole like normal" I said trying not to get into too much detail.
    "How's your leg?" He asked
"Fine" I responded
      He continued talking for about 30 minutes until he had to hang up. I would've talked to him for hours if I could. He's so easy to talk to. Of course I didn't tell him everything I was feeling or thinking but as long as I told him some he was happy.
     After we got off of the phone I plugged it up and went to lay on my bed. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep replaying the conversation we had in my head.

      "Hey Lennox get up" My mom yelled from my door.
    I groaned and turned over ignoring her.
She kept yelling so I eventually stood up. I walked over to my mirror and noticed I had a bruise on my neck. I must of hit it when I fell last night.
     Shit I forgot to take a shower yesterday. Damnit my dad messed me up. I grabbed some clothes and took them to the bathroom. I turned on the water and got undressed. I took a quick shower and got out. I dried off and put my clothes on.
     After I finished putting my clothes on I went back to my room for my socks and shoes. After I was ready I grabbed a hoodie and put it on. Maybe this will hide the bruise. I walked out of my room and into the kitchen. I grabbed my backpack, that my mom must've taken inside, and left without saying a word to anyone. It was still early. Like 15 minutes early.
     I walked into the school bypassing the principal and any teachers that tried to talk to me. I went straight into the classroom, not even meeting up with Meri, and laid my head down. I don't want to be here.
      "Hey sweetheart" Julian said
I didn't respond. He put his hand on my arm and moved it so he could reach my chin. He lifted my chin up and looked me dead in the eye.
    "What's this?" He asked touching my neck with his other hand in the same spot as the bruise.
    There goes hiding it.
"Oh that must've happened last night" I replied
     "You know it's funny how you knew what I was talking about before even seeing it." He said giving me a look like he knew what happened.
    "It's nothing drop it" I said covering it from his view.
   He leaned down and whispered in my ear "You can't lie to me"
   I turned to face him and I said "watch me"
I realized we were only inches apart and it made my heart start racing. What was happening to me?
    I turned away from him and laid my head back down.
      The rest of the day flew by. Before I knew it, it was time to go home. The time of day I dreaded.
