If it can't be you

🌌Dream 32🌌

Fourth and Phuwin spent the weekend together, barely leaving Fourth's room.

Monday came, Phuwin delivered Fourth to the University as usual.

When Fourth saw Mark, he was really  glad. Mark was still not as active as he was but he at least was here.

"Are you ready to tell me what happened?" Asked Fourth.

"I'm sorry Fourth, I'm still not ready, but I am all better now. I want you to know that I really appreciate that we are friends."

"Okay, I'm not going to push you, I know that you'll tell me when you are ready. "

All of a sudden, Gem came out of nowhere bringing two pink milks.

He gave one to Mark, which Mark accepted. Fourth raised his brow to question Mark but Mark just raised his shoulders as if to say it's nothing.

Gem then gave Fourth the other glass.

"I'm okay." Said Fourth.

"It's fine, Fourth, just take it, he does not mean anything by it, right  Gem?" Mark said.

Gem was quiet, Fourth did not want to make things awkward so he reluctantly accepted the drink.

After a while, they had to go their separate ways as they head on to classes.

Fourth finished his class first he, messaged Phuwin that he's done with his lessons and will wait for him.

While waiting, an elegard looking elder came approached Fourth.

"Are you, are you my son's boy toy?"

She said.

Fourth looked left and right, wanting to make sure that the elder woman was talking  to him.

"You don't have to look elsewhere, I am talking to you, are you Fourth?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Don't ma'am me, you filthy bastard! How dare you take my Phuwin away from me! You are filth, for as long as I live  I will never allow my child be with you." Screamed the woman. Fourth was feeling light headed, he was gaining people's looks and he was never okay with attention.

"Ma'am please calm down, I think it's best if you talk with Phuwin about this. I  don't know you, I'm not comfortable."

"You filthy gay bastard! My precious boy never disobeyed me till he met a filth like you!" Slap!

Fourth was taken aback as Phuwin's mother's hand land in his face.

He was having trouble breathing now, he barely saw Mark and Gem running to his aide, Gem showing his mother and screaming at her.

"Breathe, Fourth, It's okay. Calm down." Cooed Mark as he guided Fourth to sit in one of the benches nearby.

After a few minutes he calmed down. When he looked around, the woman was  no longer in sight.

Phuwin came running to his side.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I came as fast as I could when Gem called me. I'm sorry baby."

Fourth quickly hugged Phuwin.

"I... Your mom, she... She hates me." Fourth whispered. Phuwin was softly touching his cheeks that's maked with his mother's palm.

"It doesn't matter. Baby, I love you, just remember that, that's all that matters." Phuwin declared, not minding whoever the audience is.

"I... I don't think I can handle your mother. I've never been hit by my parents before..."

"I'm sorry baby, let's go home, i'll take care of you."

"Gem, follow me, I need to talk to you about that woman."

"Your mother."

"Huh?"

That woman, she's your mother."

"It doesn't matter. No one can hurt you."

"I'm coming too, Gem I'll ride with you." Said Mark to Gem.

Fourth did not want to think so he let everyone decide whatever.

Everyone was gathered in Fourth's living room. Fourth was just sitting in the sofa, Phuwin bringing  the group some drinks.

Fourth was not feeling well at this point and couldn't handle the crowd he ran to the bathroom and vomited.

Phuwin ran after him and patted his back. Once Fourth was done, he was still looking pale. Phuwin carried Fourth to the bedroom, Mark and Gem was just looking. Mark wanted to help his friend but was stopped by Gem.

Phuwin carried Fourth to the bed, made him lie down and lied beside Fourth to hug him while patting his back.

Fourth hated himself for being weak, he thinks he looks pathetic right now but Phuwin was just taking care of Fourth.

When Fourth finally fell asleep, Phuwin kissed his forehead then quietly stood up.

He went out of the room to talk to the two visitors.
