Save Me | 11

• Mateo •

I stayed in that room for what seemed like years but it was only an hour. My brother doesn't know me. Therefore, he doesn't miss me, or love me.

Do you know what it feels like to be torn apart from your brother because of your sexuality?

It stings. It's painful. It hurts. A lot.

I did nothing but open up to my family, hoping they won't reject me, but they did.

"It's o-okay...th-this was meant to h-hap-pen..." I said trying to calm down. I heard a knock on the door and I wiped my tears quickly.

"Mateo...it's me."

I got up and unlocked the door, and Isaiah walked in, staring at me with sympathy. I felt like crying again so he brought me closer and I cried in his chest. He hugged me and rubbed my back as I soaked his shirt with my tears.

"Z-Zaya...why am I s-such a broken p-person?" I asked quietly.

I felt him shrug. "You're not broken. Maybe this is happening to prepare you for something better...I dunno. I'm tryna' make you feel better."

I chuckled and thought about Ayleo. "I-Is he still d-down there?"

"Nah, he went home. He told me to tell you he's sorry for not being who you thought he was. Maybe it's a different Ayleo."

I pulled away from the hug we were in and I shut the door. "Zaya...why do like helping me? Why don't you leave me?"

"Can I tell you something?" He asked as I nodded.

"My sister, she was murdered by her abusive boyfriend, over something stupid. I should've came in time, but I didnt. By the time I took the bat from him, she was dead." I saw him shed a tear.

I walked over to him and hugged him. I felt like crying too. So now I guess he knows how it feel to loose a sibling over something stupid.

"Isaiah...it's okay. You did everything you could-"

"No it fucking isnt! It's my fault she died!" He yelled, making me jump and stare at him.

He looked up and shook his head. "Im sorry...its hard."

I nodded and hugged him. "Are you gonna...you know...take me back?"

He shook his head. "Nah. You living with me now. Aight?"

I blushed and he smiled at me. "Okay."
