The Challenges

Journey's Aren't Always Nice

Luke had thought to himself, why does my life have to be like this? I know I was involved with something last year that started this, but it's not my fault that I was. I shouldn't be bullied because of it and hated and thought of as a gay guy. John and Carlos had moved closer to the teacher and Zachary sat at one of the empty desk next to Luke. Zachary asked Luke, are you ok? Luke told him yea I just wished they would leave me alone and get w life and worry about something else. That happened last year I just wanted it to all to end and I would have a normal life without getting bullied. Zachary knew Luke wasn't ok. He wants to help, but he doesn't know how to help him. The day went on and on and Luke just wanted to go home and get away from his worries. The last bell rang and Luke ran out of class and hurried home. After a while he felt like there was people following him home, but he didn't want to turn around and see who it was. He was just going to ignore who it was and just hurry home. After a while he could still hear them, before he knew it they started calling out his name Luke! Luke slow down! Luke you can't run from us! Where do you think your going? Luke! Luke started to run home and didn't stop, but it was too late before he knew it they caught up to him and started to punch him, kick him, spit on him, scratch him, push him to the ground. Luke just didn't know how he was going to live like this anymore. He just wanted to die right there and then. He wanted everything to be gone. He wanted to leave this horrible world. He didn't have a chance in trying to fight them. He was outnumbered two to one. He just laid on the floor while they beat him and tortured him. They kept yelling at him saying haha, Zachary can't help you know! Your gay! You like guys. Luke wished Zachary was there to help him. Zachary was the only one that made him feel safe and made it seem like nothing bad would happen to him if he was with Zach. Out of nowhere Luke hears Zach yell Carlos, John what the hell? Where are you beating Luke up? Leave him alone already. He's tired of this crap that you keep giving him and I'm tired of it too. Go home before I call the cops. Carlos and John ran home before Zachary could do anything to them. Are you ok? Do you need me to call anyone? The cops? You parents? Anyone? Zachary asked. No I'll be fine I'll have tons of bruises, I'll just tell my mom that I feel and hurt myself. I'll be fine, I promise. Luke told Zachary. I'm taking you home now, ok? If you don't want to tell anyone that's fine with me, but I'm going to take you home and stay the night to see if your ok and not hurting or anything. Ok? Zachary insisted. Ok. Luke replied. I guess Luke and Zachary had found out that Journey's Aren't Always Nice.
