(Graham)

After the first day in school the three bullies didn't give Damon a day off.

They bullied him every day and I saw the once very strong Damon falling apart.

It hurt me to see him like this. Days, weeks and months went past and they only left him alone on the weekends. We hung out almost every weekend and every Sunday he faired going back to school. We hadn't told anyone, for the best.

It was Christmas soon, today was a Thursday and Damon came running into the bathrooms where I had just zipped up my zipper.

"Gra.." He said his eyes filled with tears. Black marker had scripted the words "cheap faggot whore" over his entire face. His one eye was blue and blood was dropping from his nose.

"Oh Dame" I said and hugged him tightly.

He was sobbing loudly as I took paper to dry up his blood. Then I brought the makeup that I nowadays always wore and tried my best to hide the bruise on his eye.

"Damon, Damon" I sighed "..maybe.. We should tell some.." But he cut me off

"No! We agreed not to Gra" he sobbed angrily "it's for the best!"

"You didn't even let me finish!" I said

"Because you're being silly, we agreed not to!" Damon looked at me like I had betrayed him.

"You're right, you're right.. I just thought.." I started

"Well don't" he said and then sat down on the loo. He looked hurt, not like he was when the bullies had hurt him but like someone had betrayed him.

A wave of guilt rushed over me.

"I'm sorry Damon, I shouldn't have.. I'm sorry!" I said

"It's okay Graham.. It's just.. I really trust you.. You know"

The guilt rushed out of my body as I embraced my friend

" I know,"

A minute later we're walking through the hallway. The rest of the day went on well. We avoided the bullies the best we could.

After school we decided to go to his place. Halfway there he stopped. "Graham" he said "I... I gotta tell you something.." I stopped too a bit ahead of him. He looked really concerned. "What..?" I said, my hands sweating. I didn't like big confessions.

He stared at me for a while, seeming to think.

"Uhm.." He started. Then his face expression changed and he said "we're going to a cabin over Christmas and I was wondering if you wanted to come along?"

I knew that wasn't was he planned on confessing but I didn't want to press him so I just said

"Yeah that seems great Day, I'll just have to ask mom!"

Then we went on and I didn't think about it anymore.

As the night came me and Damon were having a great time, so we figured maybe I could sleep at his house, we called my mum first and she said it was alright.

So we asked Days' mother and she said "well yes of course you can stay Graham.. It's just Jessica's having a friend over too, so maybe you two boys could share bed?"

We said it was okay and went off making ourselves ready for bed, brushed our teeth and bedded Damons bed with two covers and I could lend one of his pillows.

Damon asked if I wanted to borrow anything to sleep in, that he didn't owe a pyjama since he slept in his underwear anyways. I said it was alright and he took off all his clothes calmly.

For a second I found myself staring at him, watching his muscles tense, and relax.

I woke up like from a dream wondering what the heck I was doing before I quickly took off all my clothes, except for my underwear, put my glasses on a bedside table next to me and crawled in to bed as I felt my cheeks turn red.

"You shy, Coxon?" Damon grinned.

"Maybe.." I said turning even redder. Damon chuckled and went to turn off the lights. The next second it was pitch black. I heard Damon crawl into the bed next to me.

"Goodnight Gra" he said

"Goodnight Damon. Sleep tight"

"You too"

And then silence. I heard his breath slowly turn softer and slower as he fell asleep.

Then Damon turned in his sleep and his arm came over me in a sort of embrace. I froze. I couldn't breathe. A bubbly feeling spread through my body as I looked at Damons face. He looked so peaceful. I felt like death was upon me.

I had never felt like this before, I had read about it and seen it happen to others but I never thought it would happen to me, and with.. Damon?

I had to get out of this house. I wanted to stay, I wanted to stay like this forever in a way but I couldn't, and it'd be too awkward facing Damon in the morning. I grabbed my glasses, quickly put my clothes back on, sneaked out of the house and ran home in the silent night.

I don't know how I got into the house but the next thing I know I was i my own bed, all tucked up and the alarm rang telling me to wake up. But I was already awake. I faked being sick that day and my mum let me stay at home. I didn't leave the bed that day. Not once.
