No Love Allowed

Chapter 5

Homosexuality is not right.

 

Charles' Point of View

It's been weeks since that day when Kevin and his friends jumped me in lunch and after school. It's been weeks since Derek had come in the locker room after Kevin had gave me a few punches to the gut and saved me from more. It’s been weeks since Derek Matterwood touched me.

Kevin and his jerk of friends still mess with me, but nothing physically. Everything is verbal and sometimes I wish that they would just jump me instead. Words hurt more than actions, but they didn't know. They didn’t know how I felt nor did they care. I was nothing to them but a punching bag.

But there were more things that could hurt than words or getting your ass kicked, it's when the person you’re head over heels for starts ignoring you and act like you’re not there. It's a knife to the heart I tell ya. Ever since that day Derek saved me in the locker room, he has been avoiding my very existence. If I go one way, he goes another. I take a left step, he takes a right. I go up, he goes down. You get the picture.

It made me so mad; I mean for some reason, I felt hurt and betrayed. Rejected. Did he know this? Oh Derek, I wish you could know what you put me through. Dammit I should be the one avoiding his ass! I mean, who do you know that has green eyes that turns into yellow? He smelled my neck and shirt, I should be freaked out! But the truth was, I wasn’t ….

FLASHBACK TO 3 WEEKS PRIOR

Kevin just punched me in the gut for the hundredth time, I winced and coughed up blood, I felt it trying to drip out of mouth but I didn’t dare let fall. I’m pretty sure if it did and I let it land on him, he would hit me harder. I don’t need that happening. They had jumped me earlier today in lunch and now it’s after school, were in the locker room now. I don’t know why they are jumping me again; I didn’t even fully recover from my first beaten, why would they come after me again? What did I do wrong today? Breathe wrong? Shit, was it that mirror I broke earlier today? Damn superstitions are true.

"You're a pathetic piece of shit, Charles McGrow and I'm going to make sure you know that." He said through his teeth, all the words came out as he hit me over and over again. He stopped and I cried out of happiness, I couldn’t hold it in anymore. The pain was unbearable. But then I saw his jerk of friends were about to get up, getting ready for triple the pain, I closed my eyes. But the hits never came.

"What's going on here, Kevin?" I heard from afar. The voice made Kevin's spine steel up and his face pale out of fright. He turned around and all that was visible to me was his shaking back.

"Oh shit, Derek!" He said, you could hear his voice breaking and he said his next line. "What's up man?" He started to walk towards Derek and held out his hand. I heard crackling sounds as they merged with Kevin's grunts of pain, what was happening?

Kevin's friends started to walk towards Derek but I don't think he paid them any attention. Derek's eyes turned yellow and I had to rub mines to make sure I wasn't seeing things. His eyes were literally yellow, not the green they usually are, but bright freaking yellow! What was going on?

"You touched him?" Derek asked Kevin, nearly yelling in anger. What was up with him? He acting like he owns me or some shit. Who was he to let anybody touch me, or not? But why was I complaining? He’s saving my damn life right now.
