I wake up the next day, dried tears stain my cheeks. I couldn't sleep hardly at all, it was like my life turned into an actual living nightmare. I knew that when something's so good, it turns to crap quickly after. I get up and walk over to my finger print covered mirror and wipe my squinted pink eyes. I look over at my phone, spammed with messages from Sky asking so many questions I didn't bother answering. I feel like a shell of my former self, like I'm hated. Skylar is going to hate me she finds out what I said. I feel like just ending it all, funny right? I know I am probably overreacting but...I feel like my mom hates me, or will hate me. I feel like this world is just so unaccepting, I want to change this world's view on LGBT. Although that wont happen, why bother. You're just being petty again.

I walk out to the sidewalk and wait for my bus. It eventually shows up and I sit in our seat. Skylar looks over at me in fear.

"So..are we done for?" She asks. I begin to tear up and hug her extremey tight.

"Never, no matter what!" I promise to her and kiss her cheek.

"Thank god, I thought that was it for us. I cried almost all night until I passed out on my couch, didn't even finish homework.

"I cried all night, got maybe an hour of sleep. I didn't either. This is hellish. I cant just simply leave you.. my mom doesnt understand that. She think's we're not dating and it was a stupid dare." I sigh in anger.

"Atleast she didn't find your note, or else she'd know for sure.." Skylar tried to be optimistic.

"...Note?" I ask.

"Yeah my love letter." Skylar half smiles.

"Oh no.... I left the note in my pants. Oh god, I am so dead." I say, beginning to tear up for 100th time in 24 hours.

"Are you serious?!" Skylar yells, silenting the whole bus.

"I am dead. I am dead. I am dead." I repeat and repeat and repeat.

"Calm down. She wont find it!" Skylar tries to calm me down.

"She's going to check my pockets before washing my jeans!" I say, choking back tears.

Both of us are speechless. Through out the day I could barely breathe or eat during lunch. Everything is crumbling beneathe my feet right now. I can't explain any feelings I feel, I just know that my mom is going to flip. Skylar tries calming me down the entire day but nothing works. I am literally the stupidest human being on this planet currently. It's almost time to go home and this day seemed to go by so slowly.

"Kay, you've been scared all day. What is the matter?" Leo asks.

"It's...not important." Skylar answers for me.

"Obviously it is. C'mon shoot." He says, adjusting his backpack strap.

"I gotta go." I say, walking to the bus, Skylar follows close behind.

Time to face hell.
