Secrets and Sorrows

Gabe's P.O.V:

After the incident with my dad I haven't been going to school. It hurts to go anywhere at this point. My dad has been keeping me here for a week and a half and raping me non-stop. Every 5 hours its another line of torture and misery. I haven't stopped bleeding either. I'm... scared. I want my mom back. I don't want this anymore. I miss being happy. And the only times I'm happy... are with Hunter. But I don't think he cares about me anymore. He hasn't texted me or called me to see if I was okay, which he does routinely. Maybe he forgot about me. Maybe.... maybe I don't mean anything to him after all. I was stupid to think that he would actually like me. I'm such an idiot. I should just die... Get it over with.

I got up and walked toward my bathroom which was connected to my room and searched the mirror cabinet for a razor blade. When I found one it turned out to be one of the razors you use when you're lining someones hair up. So it was about as big as my hand. This is it Gabe. You can finally be with mom.

I locked the door then walked back to my bed just in case my dad came upstairs and wanted another round. He shouldn't be here though. I heard the front door open and close and saw his car drive away earlier. The sound of silence is deafening so I turned on the tv but to a channel where only static could be heard so that I didn't hear anything else. I put the blade to my skin and without hesitation, started dividing my skin.

One for being gay
Another for being a fuck up
And another 7 for being alive

I didn't wanna stop. I wanted to keep going deeper and deeper until I died. I was bleeding a lot. It felt good to relieve everything.

I'm ready... One last cut should kill me. I can't wait to see mom again.

Just then as I was putting the blade up to my skin to finish the job, I heard knocking, but it wasn't at my door. It was at my... Window? What the hell? My room is in the "attic" (its technically just a really big room with its own full bathroom that's located ABOVE the second floor of the house). So how is someone knocking on the window?

I walked over to my closet and pulled out a hoodie that Hunter gave me. Its really big on me but I don't really care. I could smell his scent on the sweater. I miss him. But he doesn't care about me. I made sure that the sleeves were baggy enough to not touch my blood covered arm. Then I walked over to the window, wiping away my tears. When I pulled the curtains away who I saw there made me happy and sad... and a little frightened considering that they were really close to the window.

"HUNTER?!?!" i screamed and fell back on my ass.

"OH MY GOD GABE ARE YOU OKAY?" he said trying as hard as he could not to laugh.

"Yeah... I'm fine." I said scowling at the douchy grin on his face. Its cute as fuck, but I hate it right now considering that I just fell on my ass... Hard need I mention.

"Can I come in?" he asked with a slight giggle in his speech.

"Yeah sure, whatever." I said

I opened the window and he flew in. When I say flew in I mean when he got into my room he had like... Dragon wings or some shit. I sat on my bed admiring his fascinating form. He was so hot.

His wings folded inward and dissolved into thin air. I saw the rips that the wings made in his shirt so I looked into the holes. His back looked so smooth and muscular. I wanted to run my hands down it.

When he turned around he noticed me staring, so I quickly turned my head. I started blushing and he just looked at me and started to giggle. He came on my bed and sat down next to me so that our thighs were touching each other. When I noticed that I only had on boxers and his hoodie I scrambled under the covers so that he didn't see my legs. He giggled again. I just smiled.

"You're cute you know that?" he said

"Uh... I don't know... Maybe"

"Stop that Gabe. I want you to be yourself when you see me. Don't be shy. Because I can tell that no matter how timid you act, there's a really spontaneous and fun loving guy inside of you. You just need to find out for yourself. I wanna see... Your wild side. You're fun side. I wanna see... The real you."

"Uh...okay" real me huh? Alrighty then.

We sat in silence for a minute until I finally spoke up.

"So, you're like a vampire huh? You need to be invited into someones home before you come in or you could die?"
I said with a smug little attitude. I could tell Hunter was amused.

"No you idiot. Its just common courtesy." he said with the same smug attitude I gave him. He really is cute. We both laughed.

"Okay..."

"Okay..."

"You know you're a dweeb right?" I said.

"And you're a doofus. A doofus with big beautiful brown eyes."

My shit brown eyes? BAHAHA! Yeah right Hunter.

"Fuck you, you weirdo."

"Ouch... I like this side of you. Its kinda... Interesting." he said looking at me with his glistening eyes.

He put his hand on my arm and I winced in pain but immediately regretted it.

"What... Did I hurt you again?" he asked.

"No... Its just..."

"Wait... You're bleeding... A lot."

He quickly pulled up my sleeve and saw the gashes in my skin. This can't be happening.

"GABE WHAT THE FUCK? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELF?"

"Because..."

"BECAUSE WHY GABE?"

"BECAUSE IM WORTHLESS OKAY... I'm worthless."

We sat there in silence. He looked at me with deep sorrow and held my head up.

"You're not worthless okay?" he told me. I just shook his hands off.

"You have no idea what's been happening for the past 11 days okay?" I said, practically almost crying.

"Can you tell me then?" he asked

"But... You'd never talk to me again... Because its gross. You would judge me." I was really gonna cry at this point.

"Gabe... I would literally never judge you in my life. I mean... Look at me. I'm half demon for fucking shit sake. That's really weird. So whatever is going on, I know it'll only make me care for you more."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, i promise."

Okay here goes... There was a silence in the room for a little bit. Then... The words came out.

"my dads been raping me..."
