Give Me a Chance

23

•Third Person POV•

Axel tears up at the sight in front of him. Alissa, his best friend is kissing Chance, his boyfriend. Axel breaks into pathetic sobs, causing Alissa to pull away from Chance.

Chance gasps. "Axel! Please, this isn't what it looks like!"

Axel scoffs, wiping his tears. "R-Really? Because it looks like my boyfriend, or should I say ex-boyfriend is m-making out with my ex-best friend!"

Chance calls after Axel as Axel storms away, tears streaming down his face. Axel bumps into someone, making him more mad. "Sorry.." he says, clenching his jaw. Axel looks up to see Dylan. Dylan helps Axel up. "Are you okay? Why are you crying?" He asks, dragging Axel into a room that doesn't have any people in it.

Axel sighs, sitting down on a couch in the room. "I.. caught Chance making out with Alissa.." he admits starting to cry more. Dylan sits down beside Axel and consoles him.

"Shhh.. don't cry over him. He doesn't deserve you." Dylan tells Axel.

Axel wraps his arms around Dylan and puts his head in the crook of Dylan's neck. Dylan wraps his arms around Axel's waist in return. After a while Axel pulls away and Dylan follows suit.

"Dylan, can you drive me home?.. Chance.. was my ride.." Axel says, wiping his tears away.

Dylan nods. "Yea, of course."

Dylan and Axel stand up, and start making their way out of Dylan's house. They get outside and Dylan leads them over to his car. Dylan gets in the drivers seat and Axel gets in the passenger seat. The whole car ride is silent other than Dylan asking Axel where he lives.

Axel sighs, looking out the window. I can't believe Chance and Alissa were kissing.. he thinks to himself. Axel sighs again, causing Dylan to look over at Axel.

Dylan puts one of his hands on Axel's shoulder. "Are you okay, dude..?" He asks hesitantly.

"I guess.." Axel sighs, "I mean, as okay as I can be.."

"Okay." Dylan says, "Uhh.. we're almost at your house.."

Axel hums in response, putting his attention back on the atmosphere surrounding him. The sky is painted a dark blue with the moon casting a light grey tint on everything. The streets are empty except for the odd person walking around. Although Axel would never admit it he loves the night, despite being afraid of the dark.

The car pulls into Axel's driveway, breaking Axel out of his thoughts. Axel thanks Dylan and quickly gets out of the car. He carefully goes inside his house, making sure to be quiet, but he isn't quite enough.

"Axel.." Axel's dad slurs.

Axel turns to face his dad, who is sitting on the couch. Axel can tell that his dad is drunk so he makes sure not to make too many movements.

"W-where were y-you..?" His dad asks, standing up and stumbling over to Axel. For every step forward his dad takes, Axel takes a step backwards, making sure to keep some distance between them.

"I-I was with.. Emmett.." Axel says, mentally cursing himself for stuttering.

Axel's dad takes a couple more steps, backing Axel against the wall. He breathes heavily, causing Axel to smell the alcohol off his dad's breath.

"Y-ou're pathetic..!" His dad jeers.

Axel just looks down, knowing not to talk back to his father. The last thing he needed was to show up at school tomorrow covered in bruises.

Axel's dad throws a punch to Axel's stomach, causing Axel to groan in pain.

"Y-You're a pathetic excuse for a s-son..!" He spits angrily at Axel.

Axel's dad walks back over to the couch and slumps down in it. Axel takes the chance to go up to his room, sighing. He opens the door to his room, finding the room trashed. The posters on his walls are torn up, his blankets are thrown on the floor and the books on his desk are scattered on the floor. Axel sighs and cleans his room, accepting that this is his reality now.. having your boyfriend cheat on you with your best friend and getting beat by your own father..

Axel doesn't understand why the universe was so cruel to him. All Axel wants is a normal life. Can't he have that? That's all he's asking for.

Axel gets changed into some pyjamas and gets in his bed. His mind drifts of into la la land as Axel falls asleep..
