(Quick disclaimer this chapter will include pot, weed addiction, self harm, parent abuse, and religion problems. If you are sensitive to these themes I recommend skipping over this chapter as this is just Strebers family! Thank you! <33 also time skip because nothing really happens 💀)

It had been a couple months since Kevin invited me over to his. I still couldn't muster the fact we were dating now, it felt like a dream. I would mainly go to his house when my parents were out, I wouldn't dare letting him over to mind knowing all the possibilities of what could happen if he came to mine. It was almost the end of the school year, about a few months and I'd be going into 11th grade. I really couldn't wait to get out of this household. I was sitting at my desk in my room drawing in my sketchbook when I heard the front door slam open. I swallowed before hearing my name getting shouted. I wanted to just shut and lock my door but I knew that would probably get me killed. I unwillingly got out of my room and walked over to the front door and saw my mom and dad giving me a mad look. One of them eventually spoke up.

"Streber you better explain your self, a boy, seriously?!" My mom snapped before holding up her phone to show a picture of me and Kevin kissing.

"H-how'd you even get that?!" I spoke in a small stutter before feeling my mom snatch my wrist then drag me off to my room, my face filling with panic as I tried to pull away. She threw me into my room and onto my bed. I tried to get up but let out a yelp when I felt her grab my throat tightly, basically choking me before pushing me back down.

"You know that's against our ways! There are plenty of nice women won't there who'd take you!" She continued to snap at me, I didn't pay attention to most of it as I struggled to breathe. After what felt like forever she let go and slapped me across the face before walking out of my room and slamming my door before going to yell at my dad.

I rubbed my cheek as tears filled my eyes before getting up to lock my door then lay down in bed, pulling out my phone to text Kevin.

I put my phone down, giggling a bit before turning into my side before sighing, trying to sleep, I didn't care if I ate dinner or not.

~~~~~~~~~~~

A couple weeks went by as the days kept getting worse, my parents kept trying to teach me more or abuse me to try and get me to understand to not date the same gender but I didn't listen though it was taking a toll on my health. While walking down the street one day I met this kid, he seemed a bit older than me, probably 18 or 19 when we walked up to me. He wore a large coat and hat, his face dark and unrecognizable. He then offered me some pot for $5 which I was weary at first before taking the offer, he then gave me his number and put it in my phone before walking off. I then got home and grabbed a lighter before heading down the street to an alley way and lit it, before smoking some weed I had also got. I didn't really care if I over dosed, I was so done with everything. My parents wouldn't get off my ass and my grades were dropping drastically, I only had Kevin but even then he was pushing me away because of the kids making fun of us for dating. I ended up cutting myself on my arms or legs to release some type of anger or stress but it made it worse. I went to school on Friday and when I passed by Kevin in the hallway he grabbed me in pulled me into a bathroom before speaking.

"Streber are you okay?" Kevin gave me a worried look before I shoved him off.

"Why do you care, you've been ignoring me for weeks... I'm fine though..."

Kevin sighed. "I have... and I'm sorry, I don't mean to hurt you... I just-"

Kevin stopped when I saw him looking at my arm, I tried to pull the sleeve down but he just ended up grabbing it and lifting it.

"Kevin stop!" I tried to pull away but it was too late, he had already seen the cuts, he then looked at me worried before speaking. "Streber? Are you cutting yourself because of me...?"

"Not everything has to deal with you! If you actually cared for me you'd ask me what is going on..." Kevin just sighed before pulling me into a hug as tears pricked st the corner of his eyes.

"I'm sorry... my parents are making lasagna tonight if you wanna come over and talk about..."

I sighed and looked to the side, it sounded better than going home to my parents beating the shit out of me. I nodded. He then leaned forward to kiss me before pulling away after rubbing his lips. "You taste hella weird..?"

I blinked and looked to the side before I saw him look over to my bag which had something sticking out of it. He walked over to it before pulling out the pot and weed I carry around. My eyes went wide as I tried to explain myself but he just grabbed it and dumped the pot into the toilet sling with the weed and flushed it, throwing the bag away then grabbed me by the shoulders.

"Have you seriously been getting fucking high and shit?!"

"It's the only way I can relive stress!" I looked down and rubbed my shoulder."

"Streber give me your phone..." I sighed and then pulled out my phone a d handed it to Kevin. He went in and removed the contact labeled "Candy dealer" before handing it back to me.

"Please... stop doing this stuff, it's only gonna hurt you in the long run... how about we just skip class and go home..."

I nodded, we only had two classes left so I didn't care. We grabbed our stuff from the lockers before sneaking out of the school and headed to Kevin's, my hand in his as I held it tightly. Once we got to his room I explained everything to him about what was going on and why I was using the pot and weed as an escape. He eventually hugged me and covered my face in kisses which in terms, was so much better than the pot and weed. After we sat in the living room and watched some movies before his parents got home and said hi to us before his mom started to make dinner. Kevin's parents already knew about his is dating and they didn't mind, if anything they really liked me which made me feel accepted. I was always welcomed over and had access to the house. Once it was around midnight we had gone to bed, sleeping soundly. I eventually woke up at 1 in the morning to a nightmare, springing up in bed as I gasped. Once I managed to relax I looked over to Kevin and sighed. Laying back down and cuddling in his arms, shoving my face in his neck with a sniffle, my hands gripping his back desperately.
