"Sal?!" Larry knocked on the door for what seemed like the 100th time.
It was the next day and Sally hadn't been in school. While at home Sally had felt awful. No matter how many showers he had taken he couldn't wash away the dirty feeling inside of him. He didn't want to see his friends today. He was afraid Larry would see what was wrong, and he couldn't bare to see him react to what Travis was doing.
"Sal I swear to god I'm about to kick down this fucking door if you don't open up."
Well fuck, looks like he was gonna have to open the door now. Sal knew his dad would not be happy if he came home to no door. Hesitantly he opened the door to face Larry.
"There you are! I haven't seen you today where were you?!"
"I was here. Never mind just come in." Sally said.
He ushered Larry in through the door and they both went to his room. They sat on the bed, Larry looked over at Sal with concern.
"Sal, I know somethings wrong, you've not been yourself for weeks. Please tell me what's going on."
Sally sighed.
"Larry it's nothing. I've just been feeling a bit under the weather recently. It's because of the new meds I've been taking. They have some really shitty side effects."
"Are you sure there's nothing else you want to tell me?"
Sally thought about telling his friend. But decided not to.
"It's all ok. I promise."
Larry sighed. "Well if you say so I guess. Oh yeah, Todd wants to tell us something. That's originally why I came to see you."
"Ok let's go then."
They arrived at Todd's and knocked on the door. Ash opened it and pushed them into Todd's room.
"Well? What did you want to say?" Larry said.
"Neil's throwing a party at his place. Normally I wouldn't go but he's my boyfriend so I kinda have to make sure he doesn't get too drunk."
"What does this have to do with us?" Sal asked.
"We would like you guys to come as well. Mostly to keep me company."
"No way" Sal said.
"Oh come on!" Ashley spoke up. "It'll be so fun!"
"It's just gonna be a bunch of drunk teenagers doing stupid shit."
"That's exactly why it's fun!"
Larry looked at Sal before saying. "I'll come along."
Sal thought for a moment. Maybe with Larry there the party wouldn't be too shit.
"Fine I'll come along to your fucking party."
Ash cheered and Todd looked slightly relieved.
"It's next week on Saturday. Starts at 7 ends when the police turn up." Todd said with a frown. "At least that's what Neil said."
>•<
The next few week for Sally went by quite smoothly. He stayed far away from Travis and always made sure he always had Larry by his side. He hadn't even felt any need to hurt himself in about a month. Which in general made him a lot happier. He wasn't particularly looking forward to the party but expected it wasn't gonna be too shitty. It was 2 days before the party when he went to the doctor about his height, Lisa had made him arrange an appointment after he admitted that he had no idea why he wasn't having a growth spurt. He was given pills to help him grow a bit but these pills unfortunately had some side effects other than aching bones and joints. Since it was basically like taking a pill full of hormones it caused Sal to feel a lot more.... aroused than usual. And this was obviously a problem when he was constantly hanging around the boy he liked. It he worried about the party and how these issues would possibly cause a problem to arise but he said he'd go so now he must. Saturday came around quicker than expected and Sal had said he would meet Larry at 6:30 but at 6pm he heard a knock on the door. At first he thought it was Larry but it was actually Ash.
"I came to help you get ready." She said with a smile.
"It's fine really, I already have something picked out."
"At least try it?"
Sal groaned but agreed. Ash handed him the clothes and he went into his room to get changed. When he came out he was wearing a black skirt with lilac hoodie over it. Along with a black choker and lilac trainers. Ash practically squealed when he walked out. Ash then left so she could get ready and at 6:30 there was another knock on the door. This time it was Larry. He was wearing a red Sanity Falls hoodie that looked pretty new, he also had on some ripped black skinny jeans and black trainers. His hair was put in a half bun. He looked good. Like really good.
"I like your outfit." He said
"Why thank you, I like your hoodie and I plan to borrow it in the near future."
They laughed and headed downstairs to where Lisa was giving them a lift. They got to Neil's house and after Lisa had giving Larry a warning that he better not do anything stupid they went inside. Sal was right. There was a lot of drunk teenagers doing stupid shit. At first they all went to the kitchen to get a drink. Larry immediately went for the cans of beer while Sal settled for a glass of punch. It wasn't long before the house was practically full, and unfortunately Sally's pills started to kick in. He was thankful he was wearing a skirt so it wasn't as noticeable but now he had a bit of a 'problem'. He knew he had to get rid of it so with great difficulty he made his way to the bathroom to sort himself out. 5 minutes later he was back downstairs and helping himself to another glass of punch. Before putting it to his lips he noticed 2 things, one was that the punch smelt a bit funny and the other was that people were staring at him. At first he thought it might be because he was wearing a skirt but that couldn't be because he had worn a fucking dress once to a school dance so by now people wouldn't be as surprised.
And then he heard it.
"In the bathroom...."
"Getting off to who?!"
"Larry? I guess I saw that coming."
Oh god. Oh fuck. Someone had heard him. In the bathroom. Masturbating. And muttering Larry's name.
At this point Sal had noticed that Todd was walking over to him with a key in his hand.
"I heard what people are saying." He said.
Sal looked down at the spiked punch. He raises the glass to his lips and downed it. Todd looked like e was about to warn Sal about the punch but decided against it after seeing the speed that Sal was drinking it.
"Here, it's a key to one of the spare rooms. Neil said you can lock yourself in and we'll sneak you out when the party's over." He said.
Sal looked back at Todd and took the key in his hand.
"Thanks Todd. That means a lot."
Sal made his way upstairs and found the spare room. He unlocked the door, went it and immediately locked it again, then took of his mask and sighed. Putting his head in his hands.

Ooft that ending was a bit shite. Sorry if the part about Sal basically masturbating to Larry was a bit weird. This chapter was a bit of a mess tbh. Don't worry tho the next one will be a lot juicer ;)
