How Did This Happen (boyxboy)

Chapter 1 (Lucas' POV): Runaway

(Lucas's POV)'

Another day I'm forced to go to the place I hate more than anything, school. What makes it worse though is that it's a new school where I only know one person. The reason for this whole new school thing isn't because my family moved, only because I moved out. I had a feeling that coming out to my parents would be a bad idea but I convinced myself that I was ready to. I guess I just wasn't ready for everything that came after the coming out and it all started with the words that came out of my mouth.

“Mom, dad, I'm gay.” I told my parents after I finally convinced them to sit down so we could all talk.

Right after that my dad asked me to go to my room so him and my mom could talk about what I'd just told them. Once I left and was up in my room all I hear was quiet chattering which soon turned into yelling. I just sat in my room through it all, deciding it was better that I not get involved. Once the yelling stopped I just felt more terrible about what I'd said. After the very long, buzzing, silence my door bursted open with my dad in the door way, red-faced, and I was terrified.

“Get out! Get out of my house! I will not have a fag living here! You are not my son!” he shouted as he got closer to me.

I was backing away until he grabbed the front of my shirt and pulled my really close, it was then that a hard rock of a fist collided with the side of my face and I was thrown to the floor. With a final roar of anger from my dad to leave before he beat the shit out of me I was running out the door and out of the house. Once I was far enough that I was sure he wouldn't come after me I sat at the curb and called the only person that I knew would help me.

“Hey, what's up?” James, my brother, asked.

“I need a place to stay.” the sadness evident in my voice.

“OK bro, where are you?” I could tell he was concerned about whether I was alright or not.

“Down the street, a few blocks from the park.”

“I'll be there as fast as can. See ya soon, love you”

“love you too” then the line went dead.

I sat waiting for a few minutes until a car that was really familiar swerved to hit me and I stared to run, staying on the sidewalk. I ended up running all the way to the park before my dad turned around and left me to sit on the ground shaking and crying. I don't know how long it had been before a hand was on my shoulder. I looked up though the tears to see my brother standing over me with his hand on my shoulder and someone else standing next to him.

“What happened? you said you were a few blocks from here” my brother asked me.

“Dad...he ch-chased m-me...with t-the car” I managed to get out through more tears.

My brother just hugged me and lead me slowly to the black convertible in the parking lot , the guy I still didn't know by his side. Once we were all in the car I leaned my head against the door in the back and shut my eyes. My brother started the car and I was on my way to where ever my brother and the stranger were taking me.
