LIAMS POV:
I woke up to my back laying across the bed. I turned my head to look out the window and saw it was still dark out. "Shit. How early is it anyway?" I reached over and grabbed my phone to check the time. It was only 10:00. I guess I only took a nap. I tried rolling over and going back to sleep but I was wide awake by then. I decided to waste some time and energy by taking a walk to the woods. The woods was about a half mile walk from my house, inside of some run down neighborhood. I went to my closet and threw on a hoodie and red scarf. I left the house and started the walk to the woods. I haven't been there in awhile. Im the only one who know of this really cool spot and to be honest, Im glad that I get to keep it for myself. When I entered the rundown neighborhood and started walking by a house that looked in a really bad condition but was still livable. I was about to walk by when I heard a man screaming and a familiar voice shout back, but I couldn't tell who it was. I then saw the familiar figure of Liam being shoved out onto the floor and a broken glass bottle being thrown at him, but thankfully it didn't hit him. The door slammed shut and I heard the click from it locking. Liam was just sitting staring at the concrete and quietly sobbing. I felt the sudden need to comfort him, but I didn't want him to think I was being weird. Eventually I said fuck it and started to walking toward him. I put my hand on his shoulder which caused him to look at me. He didn't process who I was for a moment, but when he did his eyes glared at me. "What? You're here to laugh at me?" He said. "Actually no. What happened back there?" I asked him. "Why do you even care, Jack?" That comment pissed me off a bit. I mean, I'm here trying to help him. I grabbed him by his wrist and pulled him up. He had a confused expression for a minuet before he got pissed "hey! Let me go Jack!" "Your upset right?" I asked him. He slightly nodded and looked away. "Well, I know a place that will make you feel better." I didn't let go of his hand and just started pulling him along towards the forrest canopy. As we started to enter he started to panic "Jack where are going?" "You'll see" I responded. Finally we made it to my secret spot. It had a small pond and large willow trees surrounding it. The way the moon shined on the water illuminated the surroundings and there was little fire flies floating around. I stepped back and watched Liam stare in awe at his surroundings. He turned around and his wide eyes stared at me which was really cute. Why do I think he's cute?! "Jack! This is really cool! I didn't even know this was here. How did you find it?" I just shrugged and told him I just stumbled across it." I sat down and watched him sit down as well. We both sat looking at the water for a while till I asked him "so what happened?" He hesitated for a moment till he told me "my dad got drunk and he found out stuff about me from people at school." I didn't get what he meant "I don't get it, what did your dad find out?" He sighed and turned to me "He found out i'm...... gay" "oh" I said. "I guess he didn't take that well." Liam only nodded his head. After a bit I looked at him and noticed he was slightly shivering. "Hey, you wanna come over? I'm guessing your dad isn't gonna let you come back tonight." Liam  thought for a minuet and agreed. With that we got up and started the walk to my place.
