Leap of Faith

A Heart Beat

Daniel P.O.V

You know that feeling you get when you brake something expensive and you know no matter what you can never ever fix it and there that horrible sick feeling in your stomach like you want to vomit but can't, yeah that's the feeling I had when I heard my Dad yelling my name, how could such a good day go so bad in just one second. I looked at Tom warning him to be quit because I know he wouldn't want to defend me. Before I even knew what was happening my mum had jumped up and was trying to calm dad down but it didn't work he just kept on yelling at me. I then felt tears running down my face again, and now people in the coffee shop where staring some men where even coming over to try calm my Dad down but he was still yelling, I couldn't really hear what he was saying I just heard every few words like disgraces, not welcome, home, faggot, waste of space but the one that hurt the most tho was not my son. The thing that brought me back was I felt someone pulling on my arm and saw it was Tom trying to get me away from my Dad. He walked me down the stair with his arms around me and guided me to my mum's cars he got me in it and I remember him asking me about how to get home and giving him direction and the whole time he never let go my constantly comforting me. In a few minutes, we got home and he was getting me out the car and talking to me and I could tell by the urgency in his voice I had to listen.

"Daniel listen to me for a second okay you net to back a bag you're staying with me for a while your mum said that we have and hour to pack for you before you dad gets home okay." He took me into the house and unlocked the doors with my mum's keys I went to my room and pulled out my suitcase and just sat there not knowing what to do but thank god for Tom cause he walked around my room packing my clothes and my shoes, and all my toiletries along with my favourite art pads he even took down some of my favourite picture and drawings down so I could keep them and the whole time he did this his eyes where always looking at me making sure I was okay. After what I could only assume was an hour he was taking me out my room probably getting ready to leave I took one last look at my room because for some reason I knew it would be my last and the sad thing was you could tell it was the room of a boy but everything that made it my room was gone it was as if my mark on the room was taken away and again a tear ran down my check. Tom took me out of the house leaving the keys on the table and there was some car waiting our side probably an uber he opened the door for me and got me inside then he got in and held my hand as he told the driver where to go. A little while later we were getting out the car and he was taking me up some stair then the next thing I knew I was sitting on a bed, I could only assume that we were at the hotel where Tom was staying.

The rest of the day went buy in a blur Tom had tried talking to me trying to snap me out of whatever it was. He left me for a while but came back with food and I still hadn't moved he tried to get me to eat but I didn't but somehow, he got me to drink so water at least. After a while he just sat there and hugged me which was at the time all I wanted I just rested my head on his shoulder and just felt safe in his arms. When it got dark he got me under to lie down on the bed and after a while he joined me and wrapped his arms around me and I laid my head on his chest. The thing that snapped me out was the faint beat of Toms heart, the one sound I had gotten used to, the one sound that had comforted me to sleep then one sound the let me know that he was always there that we were still alive. I lifted my head up so I could look into his eyes.

"Thank you, you stayed with me even tho you didn't have to."

"Don't be silly I wouldn't have been anywhere else and you know that."  

"But still thank you its mean a lot." We laid their a while with his arms wrapped around me with my head on his chest still listening to his heart beat. After a while for some reason it started beating faster.

"Daniel?"

"Yeah."

"I...I love you..." I moved my head so I could look into his eyes and I could tell he meant it and I knew the for I while I had loved him too.

"I love you too." He smiled at me and we both leaned in and kissed each other, when I pulled away I could felt a tingling sensation on my lips. I rested my head back down on his chest and after a while I feel asleep listening to the faint beat of his heart...
