Standing my ground

(Micah)

When I woke up, I was determined to put what happened at the pool behind me so that I could focus on being with Landon.

It was the best time for me, without having Logan or anyone else hovering over me and constantly watching my every move.

Times like this should be cherished, so I wasn't going to waste it on weak-ass humans who thought that they were the ones who ran the world. 

I got up as quietly as I could and checked my clothes to make sure that they were perfect, then quietly opened the door so that I didn't wake Landon. 

It made no sense for me to hide here until I was ready to leave, so I wanted to get this over and done without people thinking that I was made of glass.

I then made my way towards the pool. I had no idea what I intended to do once I got there, but I was using this as a way of getting over my traumatic experience.

When I arrived there, I started to look around for that idiot who thought that he could say those things and get away with it.

After a while, I felt a tap on my shoulder and I nearly jumped out of my skin because of how frightened I was.

After I got my breathing under control, I turned and saw that it was the same guy who disrespected Landon and me.

I folded my tiny fists, hoping that I could pummel him to the ground.

It would be what he deserves right?

“Look, I'm not here to cause trouble. I just wanted to apologize. Plus, your boyfriend is scary, and I don't want to get on his bad side again.” I narrowed my eyes at him, still feeling angry.

This guy, this absolute idiot.

He thought that a few words could erase his past behavior. Did he think I'd just accept his apology after the way he treated us? 

“Do you think an apology makes everything okay?” I growled out. Seff wanted nothing more than to take over, but I wanted to show him that I wasn't a wuss and that I was capable of taking care of myself.

He raised his hands defensively, but that only fueled my anger. 

“I get it, I messed up,” he pleaded, shifting uncomfortably under my glare. 

“But I'm not that guy. I was drunk, and I…" I didn't want to hear that at all.

“Save it,” I interrupted.

“You have no idea what it's like to be bullied because I'm gay. You think it's easy for me to brush this off when I have to deal with idiots like you?” I felt my fists clench tighter, every muscle in my body itching to take action. Forgetting that I was pregnant because of how angry I was.

I could almost hear Landon's voice in my head, urging me to back down and walk away so that he could take care of me. But I didn't want to be the person who just backed down anymore. I wanted to stand my ground.

 “Look, I'm sorry. You were just trying to enjoy your time, and I was a complete jerk. I don't want any trouble. I just… I didn't think about how my words would affect you.” I took a deep breath, letting the air fill my lungs as I contemplated his sincerity. Maybe he was sorry, but that didn't mean I was going to forgive him just like that.

I was always a prankster. Luckily for him, he had come in just in time when I was giving up on that, or he would be so embarrassed right now.

“I was also waiting for you to return so that I could apologize. My family was also against you and your boyfriend, and I felt like I had to say something.” I was trying so hard not to cringe because of the way he was looking at me.

“You're the only one who apologized, what about your family? Landon and I still have them to deal with and the rest of the world who are against LGBT. I didn't choose who I wanted to be with, so it shouldn't be a fucking problem to you or anyone else to begin with.” He nodded his head as if agreeing with me.

“You're right. I can see why your boyfriend is so protective of you. You're so cute when you're angry!” My mouth fell open from shock when he said that.

“Are you fucking serious right now?” I asked, hoping that I hadn't heard right.

“I'm not gay, but it will take an idiot not to notice. I'm Parker, by the way. I have to leave, but I'll see you around.” He waved and left before I could say anything else.

The people in this world were so fucking crazy.

Made me wish that I could leave this planet once and for all.
