ERIC'S POV
*FLASHBACK*
It's a cold crispy night as I was walking towards my mothers grave at the cemetary. It was a clear night, but it was COLD.
"I Can't belive I came here... This is a really stupid Idea..." I tell myself, "but she needs to know, I never told her.. She's my mother for Christ's sake!"
I kneel down besides my mothers newly placed grave... It's been three days since her funeral, a week after her death, and I week after I promised Cally I'd tell Jake I love him...
"Mom, I hope you can hear me... I miss you... This is honestly so much harder to do now that you're up there wherever you went...I know I'll never get your actual reaction to what I'm about to tell you...But somehow... Please let me know that you accept me...." I walked over to the other side of her grave a sat down, "Mom, I'm... I'm Gay... And I'm madly in love with my bestfriend Jake... But... I can't tell him... Can I? Please somehow let me know that everything is gonna be okay... That I'll be able to tell Jake I love him... That he won't freak out and I'll always have him as my bestfriend... No matter what happens... Please mom, I love you..." I stood up and walked back home in the now pouring rain.

*TICK.....TICK.....TICK.....RING.....RING.....RING!!!*
I sprinted out of class and sat on the schools front steps and waited for Jake to get out of detention. Which he got for punching a student in the face during Biology...
"Hey Loverboy!" Snapped on of the Jocks in a bright blue shirt.
"Fag!" Shouted another in a green shirt kicking me in the stomach.
"Homo!" Shouted the one in the blue, punching me in the jaw.
"Emo!" Shouted the one in the green kicking me again only this time harder.
"Just......Please.......Stop......Please..." I said inbetween gasps for breath from being punched and kicked.
"Why? Are we hurting you?" The guy in blue asked laughing.
"Y.....Y....Yes." I Whisphred..
"Aww look, we're hurting the poor fairy!" Snorted the guy in green.
They kicked me several times more and then ran off.... I feel myself getting weaker... My eyes are starting to close.. The last thing I saw before going unconcious was Jake Clutching me in his arms crying...
"J....Jake..." I said and went out cold.
JAKE'S POV
I was so excited to see Eric that when detention was over I ran to the doors.. I stopped and watched in horror as the football player kicked him in his stomach... I couldn't move... I was frozen... I tried... But... It was like someone was pulling me back... Like they were keeping me from helping him... When the football players pulled out the gun... I struggled to get free... I burst through the doors and they took off runing.... They hadn't shot him.. Thank GOD!
*FLASHBACK*
"Here I am, sitting in my empty room... Writing all of this down on this pathetic little peice of paper... Okay... Here it goes... I, Jake, Am deeply in love with my best friend Eric... He doesn't know, nor will he EVER know...I couldn't tell him... It would be way to hard for me to tell him... I mean.... I know he's gay and all but... He doesn't know that, ever since I found out he was gay... I've looked at him differently... Not in a bad way... In a I-Can't-Get-You-Out-Of-My-Head-I'm-In-Love kind of way... He doesn't know that a week just before he told me he was gay I started to have feelings for him... I thought of him, dreamt of him, watched him.... I was coompletly in love... He doesn't know that just hours before he told me he was gay... I was going to do the same.... But when he told me.... I couldn't bring myself to tell him I was too... and I know that he will NEVER see me the way I see him... And it kills me.
