Of Nerdy and Emo [COMPLETE]

Chapter 10

********Creed's POV********

4 years ago back in New York

It was the beginning of my 6th-grade year. In 6th grade, we move from the elementary school to the big and scary middle school. It wasn't so scary because I have my best friend in the world with me, Logan.

We walked down the halls of our new school, talking about what new classes we had. Suddenly, four 8th graders stood in front of us. They were huge compared to Logan and me.

"Well look what we have here, guys," said one of the boys pointing down at us, "Right here, we have two fags."

All of the boys started to laugh at us. I glanced at Logan to see if he was alright. Ever since we were little, I knew there was something different with him. He acted different than the other boys in our class, he also got his feelings hurt a lot because he was a sensitive person. Poor Logan had tears in his eyes, the word "fag" was a very sensitive word for him.

When we were in elementary school, his father would always call him a little fag just because of the way he did things. His father was very abusive towards Logan and sometimes would drink which made the whole situation worse on Logan's part. He would even go to the extent of kicking him out of the house and leaving him out there all night. With his mother being a nurse, it was hard for her to ever be home to witness most of the abuse. Now Logan mostly stays at my house, far away from the monster he is forced to call "father".

Whenever he hears people calling him a "fag", he breaks down and cries.

"Hey! Leave us alone. We haven't even been here for an hour and you are already bullying us! Wow! What complete morons!"

I grabbed Logan's shoulders and guided him past the bullies and down to our homeroom.

After that incident, it didn't get any better. Day after day. Week after week. The name calling started to change into full-on bullying like them saying that they wished him dead, beating him up in the bath, and so much more. But every single time, I was there to help him. Whenever they tried to beat him up, I would stand in between them and Logan. I would also shut them up if they started to make fun of him.

One day I missed school due to the fact that I had caught the virus that was going around. After school let out, Logan came home crying, talking out how a bunch of kids led him to the bathroom and then started to welt on his fragile body. I was beyond pissed. I did everything in my power to make sure that they got in trouble. But I hadn't realized that the whole situation messed with Logan's head.

It was a few months until school let out and the bullying didn't seem like it would cease. I was washing up for dinner one night and I spotted a razor blade that had blood on it. I picked it up and studied it. I looked like the blood on it was fresh. Then it hit me. I ran down to my room which was where Logan sat, holding a napkin to his wrist.

"Logan, what is this?" I showed him the newly used razor. His eyes grew big, he got caught.

"It's not what it looks like..."

"You can't be doing this. What happens if you lose a lot of blood? Logan, that can kill you! I don't want that to happen, you are basically my bother. Please don't do this to me." I didn't realize that I started to cry until I had finished my speech.

Logan had tears running down his face as well. "I'm sorry, Creed. It's just... I can't take it anymore. The name calling, the bruises, the people, this school I just can't take it! I should just die like they tell me to on a daily basis."

"You don't have to do this. You are not alone, I will always be with you no matter what happens. Don't you ever forget that, because if you die a little part of me will die too. I couldn't live in a world without my best friend."

I walked up to him, grabbed the napkin off his wrist, and then gave him a hug.

"Promise me that you will stay with me, even if we are married and have children." I looked him in the eyes, waiting for his response to my statement.

"I promise."

And with that, we both walked down to eat dinner with my family.

Back to the present

"You promised me that we would stay together," I whispered to myself.

"Is something wrong, Creed?"

Lilly looked at me with a concerned face. We had been waiting for 2 hours now. The doctors are still trying to get all the medicine out of his system. They have already stopped the bleeding from the cuts on his body. I tried to convince Lilly to go home but she insisted that she was staying for mine and Logan's sake. I guess she finally realized that Logan wasn't as bad as she thought he was.

"Yea, I'm alright. I was just thinking of something that happened years ago. Nothing to worry about." I gave her a smile before going back into my thoughts.
