Kissed, by Dari (BoyxBoy)

10. Footprints

I saw two footprints in the sand

Thought you'd abandoned me

Let go of my hand

But you were carrying me

Carrying me to safety

>>Darilyn

"C'mon slow polk, we're going to be late for school. Just throw on a jacket & let's go!" I screamed from the other side of the room. I'd been sleeping over Carson's house since my parents were out of town, on business. I hated being alone in the huge house at night. I could've asked him to stay but, stairs would kill him.

"Alright, alright lets go. Do you have the keys?" he asked, I shake my head and finally head out of the door. Since he's on crutches, I have to carry his things. I hop in the drivers side of the car and start the ignition. Pulling out of the driveway, I turn some music on, heading dowm the road to school.

>>Carson

We finally pull up to the school & park. All of my anger, pain, & sadness came back to me. Suddenly, I felt an intense wave of fear. Then the car started spinning and I felt like I was going to throw up. My entire body was shaking, I couldn’t catch my breath, and my heart was pounding out of my chest. The reason I ended up in the hospital is in there. I'd gotten scared, I couldn't move or breathe.

"Hey, Carson, you ok?" Dari asks, from my side.

"Can't. Breathe." I say, hyperventilating. My chest is tightening, heart pounding. I feel like I'm dying or going crazy.

"Ok, calm down you're having a panic attack. You have to breathe, do it with me. Deep breaths in and out. In and out, now repeat." I continue to take deep breaths & soon I start too feel relief. Soon I'm back to normal breathing and feeling.

"Alright let's go in this hell hole Dari." I say, getting out of the car soon being halted by Darilyn's smaller frame.

"Wait, you've just had a panic attack. I don't think school is a good idea today. Lets just to back to your house & get you some more rest." he babbled.

"I'm fine, I've had too much rest. I need to be at school, my grades have been slipping along with attendance. So lets get this day over with." I say, basically pushing him out of the way, heading towards the school. Upon reaching the school doors, I turned around to grab my bag from him. Giving him a quick peck on the cheek, I walked into the school. All eyes on me, I'm assuming they heard about my run in with the pole either that or the Avery thing. I've yet yo tell anyone about it, the only people who should know are Darilyn, Sadie, & Avery of course.

Finally, I made it to senior hall, took me long enough. Walking to Mr. Cruz's class, I saw Sadie awaiting my arrival. I still haven't talked to her, & I don't want too. So instead of stopping, I continued on past her. Even in the midst of her babbling apologies & how it wasn't her fault. I take my seat in the back of the class and to no surprise Sadie, sits next to me. I don't indulge her, I just start to write down everything from the past couple of days I've missed.

"You know, I talked to Avery, I think he wants to talk to you. I think you should go for it, he is your best friend after all." she whispered.

Thats. It.

"Oh really, you mean the guy who was on the way to beat me to sleep? The guy who hates 'fags'? The same person who told me over and over again how being gay wasn't normal & he could never be friends with one of those abominations? Yea, thats not my best friend. I refuse to be friends with anyone of that nature." I snapped turning my head towards the board.
