Forbidden (Gay Story)

Prologue

No one really cared about Alex and Justin being close, really. Not just close, but really close. Justin would always go over Alex's after school. Everyday. Then he'd leave at around 10 PM. What did they do together all day?

These guys, they had a secret relationship. They'd been together for 3 years, since they were 14. The sad thing is, they never told their parents they weren't exactly straight. Justin was gay and Alex was bisexual.

Neither thought that their parents would ever approve of their sexuality.

Alex's mom had been cheated on by his father since he was 7. She'd always been so angry with Alex. She thinks Alex is the reason he left them. But not only does she have plenty problems with her life already. His mom also does drugs. Not only does she do them, but sells them. And Alex has always been scared of her. His little sister had died from the drug dealers his mother befriended.

On the other hand, Justin's dad was a widow. He was very strict. The only person his father would allow him to talk to was Alex. Plus, Justin's father was an alcoholic and a child abuser.

When Justin's mother died giving birth to him, his father had this hatred for his child. He started hitting Justin at a very young age. Justin also had to work at 12 in order to keep up with their rent. His father had never worked.

And this is how they met. They were only 8, both of them the same age. Justin had came home from school, to find his dad laying drunk on the couch.

His father kept asking him if he could call his mom to come back. Justin didn't understand. So he just went to his room and locked the door. His father then raged in, knocking everything in his path, yelling at him.

Justin felt neglected by his father. When his dad left out of his room, he took a rope and climbed out his window. Just around the corner was a park, where he'd always go when he was sad.

When Alex came home from school that same day, there were people in his house. His mother was tied to a chair, naked. He was confused. That's when he saw the guys had guns and knifes. His father had told him about these men before he left. Since they didn't see him, he ran back out the door.

Not knowing where to go, Alex just walked around his neighborhood. He had no idea what would happen, or if he should even call the cops. But that's when it came to him to walk to the park.

Alex walked the path to the broken down-graffitied park. Sitting on a bench was a boy, with bruises on him. He sat down next to the boy, who was Justin. Justin glanced up, and saw there was fear in the boy's eyes.

"What's wrong?" asked Justin.

"Just thinking. Why do you have those things on your arms?" Alex replied.

"Just problems I have at home."

And that's when they went to the park together, everyday after school. And that's how their friendship grew. Into love.
