Lane's Fresh start

Friend by the river

The next day I walked into my first class, I tried to focus but it was impossible when everyone was staring at me. I had eyes on me the entire day, when I left I felt relived....... but not for very long. I step outside and I'm almost instantly tackled by someone very strong. No doubt it was Axel. He muffled me with my own bandana and started to beat me. He didn't stop until my black bandana had turned completely red from blood. Then, he just walked away, like I was a toy that he was done playing with. I began to slowly cry, nobody care, nobody stopped to help me, I was just bleeding on the ground crying. Nobody cares about me, nobody loves me. Then something in me snapped, I hate violence, but not anymore.

I get home to see my mother asleep on the couch. I walk in to the kitchen grabbing a three inch blade with a half rounded tip. This wasn't for cutting, this was for protection, I'm never going to get beaten by him again. I decide to take a walk through the park, don't ask me why but I like walking, it's peaceful.

An hour passes by and I head for the river, whenever I go there it is to clear my head of depression, like now for instance. To my surprise I see a wolf there, looks to be fourteen or so. I sit down next to him.

"Oh hey!" He seemed excited to see someone.

"Hi, what's your name?" I might as well know his name before he finds out that everyone hates me.

"Shane, you are?" His voice is very deep and soothing.

"Lane, but feel free to call me whatever you like." At this point I think that he is just going to leave when I tell him I'm gay.

"Hmmmmmm...... how about...... Cosmic?" Holy shit, did he just come up with that.

"Sure, so tell me about yourself, parents, siblings, girlfriend?" You can probably guess why I asked about the last thing.

"My mom passed away when I was little, I'm an only child and I'm not...... really....... into girls." My heart skipped a beat when he said that, all I could do was hug him.

"Y....you're gay?" I couldn't believe this, i don't have to be alone.

"Yes, and by you hugging me I'm guessing you are as well?" All I do is give him a smile.
