ADAM'S POV:

Last night was something I never knew I could do. Before Troye, I was always scared of letting myself free. Not only that my dad was super homophobic and physically wouldn't let me be who I am, but this time I've actually set myself free. I can now be who I am. All thanks to Troye.

Before I can continue with my thoughts, my dad walks in to my room. Before I could say anything about not knocking he immediately starts screaming at me.

"What the hell is this?" He yells while showing me a picture of Troye's license along with his wallet.
He must've left it here. I began to tremble as I spoke.
"I...I don't know."
"Don't fucking lie to me Adam!"
"I'm..I'm not lying! I swear !"
"Im giving you 5 seconds before I really get angry. Tell me the truth."
"I am !" I yell at him.
"5."
"4."
"3."
I don't know what to do. What if he hurts Troye if he finds out the truth.
"2."
"1."
I couldn't think about anything after that. My father just hits me. Not like when I was a kid and I gotten in trouble. I mean he actually hit me. A constant pain hits my left cheek.

"Stop! Stop!" I beg him but it only makes it worse.
"So you're a little fag now?! Huh? Messing around with boys?"
He just kept slamming into my face.

After what seemed like forever he finally stops. He turns to look at me one last time.
"If I he comes back here one more time I'll kill both of you." He throws Troye's wallet at me before he finally leaves.

I just sit there sobbing. What the hell am I going to do?
I just got Troye back. Even though it's only been a few months, I just can't let him go again.
But what if he comes after Troye? I don't care if my father hurts me or even kills me for that matter. I just want Troye to be safe.

As I finally stop crying I decided to get up and shower. It was already time for dinner but I wasn't in the mood for eating.

After my quick shower, I just lay there in my bed thinking.
I have to see Troye again before I break the news to him. And when I do tell him that we can no longer be together I have to have a really good lie. I hate having to lie to him but I don't want him to get hurt.

Before my eyes finally closed, I realized that tomorrow will be my last day with Troye as my boyfriend and I have to make the most of it.
Even if it is just one last time.
