Him Again

Chapter 11

(Nick's POV)

"Mom, dad, I need to tell you something." I showed them the most serious gesture I could muster. If this has to happen, then let this be.

"Hey, what are you doing here? You shouldn't be here because you are sick. It might get worse you know. Mason, if could you just get him back upsta—" I cut her off because I really need to tell her what is in my mind. I can't handle having too much of this. I just can't.

"Mom, if both of you could just listen!" I spit out the words on a loud and screaming tone. This sudden action made their eyes wide. A sudden deafening silence filled the entire kitchen. I gathered all myself to talk again. "Please listen, mom, dad, Mason, please.....listen."

Tears are starting to escape on my eyes and rolled over my pale cheeks. There is just too much to handle that I can no longer hold it anymore. My mom suddenly moved towards me to cup my face with her soft hands. "What's wrong honey? You know that you can count on us right? Please tell us." Her voice was reassuring with a tint of concern and a motherhood aura.

"I-I....I just wanted to tell you that-that...maybe I can....transfer to another school?" Their eyes grew wider the second I spit out the words. Another silence filled the ambiance but this time it was longer than before.

They kept on staring at me, Mason, dad, and my mom are staring at me with their lower mouth hang open. "Leighton, is that one of you jokes baby?" My dad left out a soft chuckle and gave me a fake smile. It is the first time that I had heard him speak again. I know he is the kind of person who is an epitome of a gentle and serious man. He is. And he is my dad. I know I can count on them.

"I'm serious. Can't you see it that I am? Please I am!" Another cluster of tears escaped my eyes like a stream of water that flows.

"Honey, can you give us the reason why you suddenly came up with the idea?" Mom talked to me and moved my face to look at her in her eyes.

Oh no! I can't just say that I had come up with the idea because Skylar raped me. I can't. Even if I hated him fully right now, I still have to protect him. I guess this is my last gift for our years of friendship.

I kept thinking of the most reliable reason until an idea popped on my mind. "I'm being bullied mom. I'm bullied because....they knew that...I'm g-gay." I have to stand up for my own risks. I hope that they will bite on this sandwich of lie that I had prepared.

"What!? How come you never told me?" Mason joined the commotion with a voice of rage and anger. "This is sick baby bro! You should have come to tell me. You know we can beat them, right?" My mom suddenly looked at Mason with a tint of anger on her façade.

"Mason, you can't just go beating people even if they had done something wrong. We will never let you get involved on some illiterate acts of beating people. We need to protect our honor and of course our bond as a descent family in the State of America. Got it?" My mom interjected with a motherly aura all around her.

Mason rolled his eyes. Yes, no matter how much he will strive to win over my mom's interrogation, he will never win especially that he is on the wrong side. My mom is super right, beating is wrong, but Mason is just being the over-protective big brother to me.
