15 year old Skylar Hanson or Sky's parents are religious but not the asshole kind of religious. His parents were the best, they accepted him and his little brother with open arms, his brother Alex is one year younger then him and Transgender, he was born female to the name Allison Marie and Skylar is gay but their parents are pro equal rights and just want their kids happy and healthy so it comes to no surprise when they take Sky's longtime crush Kai or Kaiden Mitchell in to stay with them when he gets kicked out for being gay.

My mom is a social worker and oftentimes she works at my high school so when she pulled me from my art class this morning looking tense and worried I knew something was up, you see my mom was a very laid back, easygoing, energetic and all around happy person so seeing her like this worried me very much.
She sat me down and told me that we would be taking in a boy in my grade who was secretly gay and went through a lot with his parents, especially when his parents found out that he was gay. All she told me was that he was at the hospital and would be coming home the next day and staying in my room with me, I was informed that he was very broken and I was to help.
My mom wouldn't tell me his name or what happened to him or what was wrong. Nothing and I mean nothing could've prepared me for the next day.
Mom had me stay home from school. She had dad drop him off once he got discharged. Alex went to school but mom felt like I could understand him more since I went through a lot in the past ten or so years. It was nearly noon time and I was lying on the couch watching South Park and waiting when the door opened and in walked my dad and Kaiden Mitchell, Kai the boy I've liked for seven years, so that's why my mum didn't tell me. I'm close to my family, my mom, dad and little brother anyways. Me and my brother usually told our parents about crushes we had on people and other things like that.
My dad talked to us for a few minutes then left because he had to go back to work.
I gave a very lame and very sarcastic house tour and we put all his stuff away in my-our room. He was very quiet so I tried making small talk. That went okay but when I asked him if he felt any better he snapped "Stop pretending to care, you wouldn't understand, your life is perfect" I just laughed at that. "My life isn't perfect, sure it's great now but it hasn't always been" "what'd you have a fight with mommy and daddy once" "No, more like my older brother hit, screamed at and raped me for seven years, that's not even the half of it, I'm trying to help you here, if you're going to judge me before you know the truth then I won't help you." "I-I'm sorry...I just..I" "it's fine, I'm here if you want to talk, I think I'd understand a lot better then you think."
The rest of the day went smoothly. We watched movies and played video games and around five thirty we ate dinner with my family and did our chores. We all took showers and watched TV in the living room. Around 11 my mom sent us "kids" upstairs to bed. Me and Kaiden had to share a bed which is going to kill me because I'm in love with him. I'm even more in love with him now that I know we have a lot in common, A lot more then he knows.
I stripped my shirt off and he gasped then a low growl sounded in his throat. He looked angry and said "w-who the fuck did this to you?!??" "My 'brother, bullies and myself" He traced the biggest scar on my stomach with a sad look on his face, I said "He tried to kill me, December 23rd, 2014. That's when he got arrested and that's when I confessed, he has forty years in prison because of the years of rape and abuse of a minor and also attempted murder, my poor mother, I feel so bad for putting her through that." "I-I'm so sorry...I'm such a jackass" "what-no you aren't a jackass, how were you supposed to know I'm messed up, not many people do, not even my mum knows most of what really happened." he kept apologizing and I kept trying to calm him down by asking simple questions to get to know him better. I found out that his parents were abusive even before he came out, he loves rock music, he likes to skateboard, his favorite color is red, just a bunch of little things that I didn't know before that made me fall even more in love with him. We talked a little while more before he dosed off, his head on my chest and my arm around him.
