StepBrothers -Ianthony ~ (BoyXBoy) ~

Chapter 57

Ian's POV

That's why you don't put your secrets in your lockers. He was not supposed to see it but I understand if he feels as if I am ashamed.

"Ian, baby why?" He whispered, picking up my hand gently in his touch. I didn't want to answer, because I know one of them was because of him. Most of them were to be exact, because of him.

I kept my eyes down to the floor. "You weren't supposed to know." I whispered. He only lifted my chin so that our eyes were staring back at one another. "I love you so much, you need to tell me these things so that I can help you.." He whispered, giving me a small frown.

I sighed and closed my eyes, letting a small blush grow onto my cheeks. "I promise.. I'll tell you everything.."
I whispered, not wanting to lose him. He gave me a warm smile as he stroked some of my hair out of my eyes. "Good." He mumbled, kissing my forehead. "Now how about we go to lunch." He said, gently standing me back up.

I nodded and smiled shyly as I closed my eyes and laid my head on his chest. He softly held my hand as we started walking down the hallway to the cafeteria.

We sat at our own table as we both kept our hands interlocked. I picked up my fork and stuck it into my peaches, sticking some into my mouth, chewing slowly.

I soon felt my tray being picked up and dumped onto my head. I felt my mashed potatoes running down the back of my neck along with the mayo that was on my sub sandwich on top of my head. I could already feel the tears rolling down my cheeks as I looked up to see David above me. Yet Anthony was still next to me, I couldn't read the expression on his face but I know it consisted of anger, shock and sadness.

"You dick." He mumbled before jumping up and pouncing on top of David, punching him with his fists.

But as that happen, I felt my arms being gripped harshly onto, it stung harshly but they covered my mouth as I was being dragged away. I guess David was their distraction.

Anthony's POV

I finished the last of my punches being put onto each and every part of his face. I stood up to go and clean Ian off and give him a warm kiss, but he wasn't there.

I instantly felt worry punch me straight in the face as I ran out of the cafeteria, looking at every inch of the school. I couldn't find him anywhere. I guess he wanted to go home from all this mess, I don't blame him.

-After School-

I grabbed my bag and walked out of the school, my gut had been making me sick all day, I'm worried sick about Ian.

I soon walked out down the sidewalk, but this is what shocked me the most. As I looked down by the tree close to our house, there was a small figure beside the bark.

I walked towards it in a matter of seconds. I knew who it was and I could already feel the tears pouring down my cheeks. "I-Ian!" I screamed as I saw him on the ground with dried blood on his nose along with the stains on his sleeves.

I pulled each one up seeing words that were carved into his skin. Faggot. Suicidal. Gays go to hell. Punch me. Kill me.

I was torn apart as I pulled his sleeves back down. He had a black eye and busted lip. I instantly pushed two fingers to his neck, hearing a normal beating pulse that instantly put me into relief as I picked him up and ran to our house.

I opened the door with my free hand and shut it with my foot, setting him on the couch gently. I grabbed medical ointments to put on his cuts.

I wrapped his arms in small bandages as I soon sat next to him, lying his head gently in my lap. "I was supposed to protect you.. I'm so sorry.." I felt the words slip out of my lips. "Please don't burn away, my light.." I whispered as I hugged him softly to my chest.

Soon enough, my light bloomed once more. He woke up.
