Yellow Brick

1.

Darius was a much...different kid. He wasn't like all the other boys. He didn't like sports,wrestling,soccer,or...girls. That's right Darius was gay he'd been that way ever since he was younger although he never really knew what being gay was he always knew that he was way different form the other boys he grew up with. Darius never fit in with any of the kids he was always picked on and bullied not only by kids but by family members to. "DARIUS!!!!!" His older sister called out to him from her room."STOP TAKING MY SHIT YOU FUCKING FAGGOT" she said. He stood their in shock he was used to this from his sister but that's didn't stop the words from stinging less. Darius was shattered he walked to his room trying to keep his cheerful smile he always had until he could hold it anymore tears started rushing down his face as he plopped down onto the bed. "Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue" the wizard of oz was playing on the t.v in the background it was Darius favorite movie. As his tears came to a halt he drifted of into a soothing sleep where he dreamed of OZ. When he opens his eyes it all clicked "I got to get out of this house" he said as he still felt a little moisture in his eyelids. Darius was tired of living a life where nobody wanted him so he packed up his duffel bag and wrote a letter to his family he then jumped from his second story window and onto the soft grass below him. He wore a jean shirt distressed jeans and his lucky red vans. He assumed he would need all the luck he could get. Darius wasn't accustomed to running away he had no plan. But he knew one thing for sure he wasn't going back to that house. Darius laid low took the back-roots and alleys of all the streets to steer clear of cops. He hitchhiked rides until one night that's would change his life.
