Saving The Soldier (boyxboy) |BOOK TWO|

Chapter 22

I walked into school listening to C'mon by Panic! At The Disco and hummed to the tune as I walked to my locker. After many attempts because those twist locks are the fucking devil, I finally pried my locker open. A small piece of paper fell out onto the floor and I picked it up. It read: meet me in the boiler room before class -D

I smiled and closed my locker, walking around to find said boiler room. Making sure no one saw me, I went in and shut the door behind me.

"Danny?" I called out.

There was no answer so I just walked around.

First something hard whacked into the back of my head making me fall to my knees. I looked up to see Jake and four other guys with metal pipes, knives, and even one with a gun. I scooted away from them in fear bit Jake just chuckled.

"Aw, look how scared he is." Jake grinned. "Don't go easy on him. The fag needs to be taught a lesson for making one of our own impure."

I opened my mouth to scream but no sound came out. Jake kicked me in my side and the rest of them started beating me. The one with the knife dug deep into my side making me scream in pain. This was how I was going to go. Beaten and bloody from a hate crime.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!!!" A loud voiced boomed making every single one of them turn.

Danny stood with our English teacher in the doorway. The boys rushed away while I lay on the floor in excruciating pain. The world around me began to get a bit hazy and I could just barely make out Danny's face.

"Maxy, you have to stay with me, okay?" His sweet voice echoed.

Our teacher was calling 911 but I knew it would be too late by the time they got here. I was dying. But at least I was dying in Danny's arms. That's the only way I wanted to go.

"Please, baby. I need you." He pleaded.

But everything was already turning black.
