Mr. Hunter's Home for Disturb Boys.

Chapter Three

Two hours later I woke up and headed down to the kitchen not caring that I was still in my night clothes. The only people there, was Mr. Hunter, who was cooking pancakes, and Liam who was sitting at the table. Yawning, I walked over to the coffee pot and poured myself a cup.
"Good morning Elijah" Liam said cheerfully.
"Morning" I said greeting both of them as I took a sip of my drink.
"The others boys should be down anytime now" Mr. Hunter said as I took a seat next to Liam. True to his word the other boys came down the stairs and sat at the table.
  Mr.  Hunter set a huge stack of pancakes in the table and the boys dug in. Majority of the pancakes where gone. I slowly reached over and grabbed  two pancakes. Everyone was eating in silence, I guess it was still to early in the morning for some of the boys. Slowly picking at my food I started to eat.
   When I was done eating I looked up and noticed that everyone else was done and was bringing their plates to the sink.
"Ethan it's your day to do the dishes" Mr. Hunter announced out loud. 
"Yes sir" Ethan said and made his was to the sink and started to do the dishes. As everyone started to file out of the room. I got up and put my dish on the counter by the sink.
"Um can I help you with the dishes?" I asked Ethan.
"Sure, you can dry them after I'm done with it" Ethan said.  We got into a rhythm, he was washing the plates and he would hand them to me to dry them. We didn't really talk while cleaning but once we were done I head upstairs and grabbed my book " Pride and Prejudice" that I was reading. I went back down stairs and sat at a chair that was by the staircase. I sat crisscross in the chair and started to read.

I was so in to my book that I didn't hear someone at the door.
"Elijah?" I heard with a hint of hate in the voice, looking up I saw my high school teacher, Mr. Miles.
" Why are you here?" I ask him.
" He is my brother, how do you know him?" Francis said.
" He was my teacher in school" I said softly.
" It's not surprising your mom send you here, I'm just surprised she let you live with them so long after you came out" Mr. Miles said. I closed my book softly and looked down.
" You know, you can't visit unless you call first Mr. miles" Mr. Hunter told him.
"I'm sorry sir, I just wanted to see my baby brother" Mr. Miles said grinning. He turned to me and said " I bet they don't know the real reason why you're here, minus that your mom can't stand a thought of a gay son".
" Be quite" I said as I stood up and Liam came over to my side.
" I also bet they don't know how messed up you are. Your mom didn't love you Enough to stop her boyfriend from beating you up every day, and how the kids at school would laugh and add more bruises to you" Mr. Mile went to continue by got cut off by Mr. Hunter saying, as he stepped closer to him,
" You need to leave now ".
" oh I will, one more thing, Elijah, you should kill yourself and save the people around you from knowing you " Mr. Miles said.
"Don't come back here Mr. miles, we will arrange something if you want to see you brother" Mr. Hunter said pushing him out and slammed the door.

Flinching as the sound of the door, I took a step back just as Liam grabbed my hand softly and said,
" don't listen to him".
My heart beating loudly in my chest and it got harder to breathe.
" um I-I'm going to go read in my room" I said as I took my hand away from Liam.
" Elijah, I would like for you to come to my office" Mr. Hunter told me.
" I'm f-fine sir, I would j-just like to go to my room" I told him.
" No we need to talk" Mr. Hunter said firmly.
"There is nothing to talk
about" I said then took off to my room and went inside, slamming the door behind me and locking it. I leaned against the door and slide down it.
