"...six, seven, eight, nine," I drew out the 'I' in the nine, peeking throught my fingers that were hiding my eyes. "Ten! Ready or not, here I come!" I yelled, beginning my search for Andrew. It wasn't very hard.

You could recognize his giggle in a heart beat.

"Gotcha!" I exclaimed as I yanked open the door to the hall closet, causing Andy to squeal from his place in the closet.

"Andy, come out of the closet," Ashton mumbled as he passed by. Michael smirked at Andrew and I as he followed Ashton down the hall.

"Yeah, kid, come out already," I swatted him on the back of the head and scowled at him, which only made him laugh.

Andy was very confused.

"Why is it funny to not hide anymore?" He asked in an innocent voice. I sighed, leaving it to Ashton to explain it.

"It's nothing."

"What's he saying?" I asked Michael, who had Andy tucked under his arm while he played some game on his computer. Michael glanced down at the small boy and shrugged.

"Reading the convos in the chat," I nodded and went back to scrolling through Twitter on my phone.

"Mikey, what's that word mean?" I heard Andrew ask.

"What word?" Michael asked, skimming his eyes over the chat log.

"F-A-G. What's it mean?" I glanced up to see Mikey biting his lip.

"It's a mean word that mean people use towards gay people,"

"Oh..." Andrew looked confused. "but I'm not gay,"

My heart shattered.

"Did someone call you that word?" I asked in a hurt voice.

Andy nodded.

"All the boys and girls at my school call me that word, and they laugh because I don't know what it means. Why would they say it if they don't know if I'm gay or not?" He looked up at me with curious eyes.

"Andy, next time someone calls you that, you need to tell a teacher. Does Ashton know?" Andrew shook his head.

"Mummy said not to tell him. He'll get mad. I don't want Ashy mad,"

"Too late."

We all froze and looked up at the figure standing in the doorway.
