~Perry High School~

"Jake?" Devon asks walking into the restroom. "You in here?" "I'm fine." Jake says walking out a stall. "They cancelled school for the rest of the day. It's supposed to rain bad. We can go back to my place?" Devon asks and pushes Jake's back to the wall and kisses him. "Yeah. Let's go."

The couple walks home and one thing about those two are Devon will talk non-stop to Jake and Jake will listen to his music and Devon and just nod. On the walk to Devon's, Jake listens to Prom Queen by Beach Bunny.

~The Evan's House~

"Devon, is that you?" Kim asks and walks to the front door. "Hi mommy!" Devon yells and walks to the kitchen. "Hey hunny." "And Jake." "Hi Kim." Kim and Jake say rudely. The tension can be cut with a knife, so Devon stops it. "Hey, let's go downstairs before you two kill eachother!" Devon says and has a nervous laugh.

"Devon. I need to talk to you. Alone." Kim says sternly. "Go ahead. I'll be down soon." Devon says and kisses Jake on the cheek.

"He's disrespectful." Kim says the second she hears her son's bedroom door close. "Mom. Not this again!" Devon says dragging the vowels. "He's a bad influence on you. Remember all those murders? Jake is somehow responsible for them." Kim says sitting down at the island.

"Yet you can't find any proof. Look mom, I know you guys hate eachother, but I love him mom! I love Jake Wheeler, he's my boyfriend and I won't stop seeing him because you think he murdered them. Hell, you sent him to a school for 'troubled teens'!" "And 3 people died there. It's not accidental or coincidental!" Kim says yelling.

"You're so fucking clueless." Devon says under his breath. "What'd you say?" Kim asks standing up. "Nothing! Jeez, get off my back!" Devon yells.

Devon walks to him room and sees his boyfriend, as cute as ever, in his sweater. "She still hates me." "It's okay, I will never hate you." Devon says kissing Jake and getting into bed with him. Devon spoons Jake and they both fall asleep.

3 hours pass and Devon wakes. He checks the alarm clock near his bed and sees it's 3:30, they would've gotten out of school right now.

Devon grabs water from the kitchen for him and Jake and sees his mom prepping for dinner. He ignores her and goes downstairs.

~MENTION/DESCRIPTION OF SCARS⚠️~

Devon takes a sip of water and notices something on Jake's arm. A scar. He pulls down his sleeve to see more up and down his left arm. Almost to his elbow joint. Devon hesitantly checks his right arm and it's bad, but not as bad as the left. Devon eyes start to blur because of the tears and he starts crying.

"I'm sorry." Devon whispers and kisses Jake. "I'm sorry you couldn't come to me with this burden." Devon kisses Jake again and Jake turns to face him mid-nap and Devon plays with his boyfriend's hair and looks at his facial features.

Another hour passed and it's 4:45. Jake wakes up and puts his shoes on sitting at the edge of his bed. Devon scoots down towards him puts his legs and arms around Jake's waist.

"I don't wanna go back to this fucker's house." Jake says rubbing his temples. "Jake, can I talk to you about some-thing?" Devon says placing his head on Jake's shoulder. "Yeah, you okay?" Jake asks tying his shoelace.

"Are you okay?" "What do you mean?" "I saw the scars.....on your wrist." Devon says now standing infront of
Jake. Jake pauses his movements, but starts again. "I have to head home, my dad'll beat my ass. Bye babe." Jake kisses his boyfriend and leaves the house.

He listens to Blue Hair by TV Girl and walks home.
