FATE

Chapter 46

(Multiple P.O.V.'s in this chapter)

Derek's P.O.V.

I grabbed my books from my locker and stuffed them into my bag. I have second period with Austin so I would have to wait awhile.

I didn't want to wait.

I want to get this over with and make him know not to fool around like that with Matt.

I know Austin has physics first period but I'm just not sure what class. I made my way to the science hallway as I felt my anger rise. I walked into the first classroom and groaned. He wasn't in there. I went to the second classroom across the hall but he wasn't in there either. I started to get frustrated as more and more classrooms disappointed me. I was about to give up but I saw the too familiar cocky smile of Austin Romano.

Just seeing him smile pissed me off.

I threw my bag on the ground and charged at him. I don't know what got into me but all I saw was red. I grabbed him by his collar and pinned him against the wall. "What the fuck Derek?!" He yelled trying to loosen my grip. I wouldn't even budge.

"Listen here you fucking bastard!! If I ever hear of you pulling some shit like that again on Matthew I will fucking end you!! Got it?!"

I only got angrier as Austin chuckled. "What are you his body guard? He's my brother and I can do whatever I want with him." I shook my head tightening my grip on his throat. "He's my boyfriend. That's fucking gross to take advantage of your little brother!! Watch yourself!!" I balled my fist seeing him smirk. I was honestly done with his bullshit. I cocked my fist back and punched his jaw with all my might. He groaned and slumped to the floor. He shook his head almost as if he was trying to stay conscious and stood up. He tackled me to the floor and threw a few punches. I was able to dodge some but he caught my left eye with his right hand. Fuck.

I punched his ribs causing him to topple over in pain and I smiled in victory. I took MMA for a few years so let's mix it up. I lifted my right leg and kicked him in his chest causing him to cough up blood. I wasn't done yet.

I went to punch him again but I was grabbed harshly. "Break it up!! Break it up!!"

Shit.

Mr. Thomas pushed me to the side and quickly attended to a bloody Austin. "What is going on here?! You..!!" He said pointing at me "go to the principal's office right now!!" I groaned. Fuck.

Mr. Thomas called another teacher to escort me to the office while he spoke to the actual principal on the phone. I sighed. This is not gonna end well.

We entered Mr. Romano's office and I could already tell he was pissed. He thanked the teacher that escorted me and closed his door behind him. He made his way back over to his desk chair and folded his arms over his chest.

"Mr. Moretti given your status and our history. Did you really think it was smart to pick a fight with my son? I can end your entire educational career. You are a senior so I don't think you can afford the consequences at the moment." I shake my head running my fingers through my hair. "With all do respect Mr. Romano your son caused your other son to be very shaken up. Did Austin tell you what he did to Matthew in the shower?" His eyes visibly darkened. "Whatever my sons are doing is none of your business. You let me handle that. You need to stay away from Matthew because your just an accident waiting to happen."

I chuckled sitting up straighter in my chair. "See now there's the problem. You want me to stay away from Matt but.....I can't do that. He loves me you know...and I love him...probably twice as much. Plus I have a job to complete that I can't fully explain to you right now but you shouldn't worry because I would never lay a finger on Matthew. Don't ever think otherwise."

The tension in the room was thick. I shifted uncomfortably in my chair as his glare became more intense. He suddenly stood directly in front of me. "I'm giving you two weeks suspension. Now get out!!"

Vincent's P.O.V.

I paced back and forth as I waited for Austin to show up. What the hell is Moretti's deal. I know he wants something more than just dating my son.

"Dad..."

Seeing Austin's bruised face made me stand instantly. "Dannazione!! Stai bene?! Cazzo guarda la tua faccia! Lo ucciderò, cazzo!" (Dammit!! Are you ok?! Fuck look at your face! I'm gonna fucking kill him!!)

"Dad calm down ok. I'm fine."

"Like hell you are!! What the fuck happened??"

Austin winced as I pressed an ice pack to his jaw. He sighed, "he attacked me in the hallway because he doesn't want me going after Matty." I ran my finger through my hair and sighed "how did all this shit even get started I'm tired of hearing all these things that involve Matt. After Mateo's death we vowed to get them back. To make them pay for what they did and now it seems like they're screwing us over again." I sat in my chair and picked up the phone pressing it to my ear.

"Who are you calling?"

"Matthew's teacher. I need him here right now."

Within a second the phone was answered. "Good morning Mr. Romano. How are you today."

I sighed running my hand over my face. "I'm fine. Please send Matthew down immediately. Thank you."

Matthew's P.O.V.

My hand started to cramp from the amount of notes on the board. Why can't she just print all this stuff out and give us worksheets. I mean come on can she at least be a little considerate.

"Matthew."

I jumped hearing my name. "Y-Yes ma'am?"

"The principal wants you in his office immediately. You should take you things with you just in case the bell rings when you're out."

I nodded grabbing my binder and my bag. Why does he want to see me. Today was going so well. I didn't even get beat up once. I was somehow able to stay in the shadows today. It's almost like as soon as something is going good something else has to mess that up. I was honestly over everything.

I opened dad's door to his office without knocking and plopped down into the chair. "Yes dad?" He frowned. "Since when did you start calling me that?" I rolled my eyes. Seriously? He must have read my mind because he sighed and looked away.

"Matthew this is about your boyfriend. Now I know you're annoyed with the whole situation but this has to stop. You guys cannot stay together....and what the hell was that stunt you pulled yesterday?! Running out the house....really?! When we have problems we're suppose to talk things over. Not run away!!"

I shook my head as my anger rose. Tears blurred my vision as I stood. "I wouldn't have to run away if you just listened to me!! You always want things your way. I mean yes I understand that your my dad but come on!! Can't you just open your eyes and see how unhappy I am here!! The kids pick on me every day. I get laughed at, hit, spit on....the teasing never stops!! My own brother hated me just because of my sexuality!! Something so simple and he literally shut me out! Dad I'm sorry... I'm so sorry but Derek.... Derek makes me happy. He makes me forget about school and about the teasing. He makes me forget about Austin and everything else. I don't know how to explain it but...but when I'm with him I can honestly say I'm happy..."

A/N: Hey guys

Omg I literally almost cried writing that.....
