Keith please come home.

Keith's POV

It's been about a week an a half since I left home but I'm really making a life of my own out here and Kyle is pretty much my bestie now right now I'm sitting on the floor behind the counter why Kyle sits on a stool waiting for customers. "Crack head in coming." He says then the door rings and someone come to the counter. "Any cigarettes please." Kyle nods and gets up grab in a box then the guy holds up ten fingers so he grabs ten different kinds and checks him out and he paid in all ones which pissed Kyle off. "Thank you for coming hope to see you again." The guy leaves. "Ten packs of fucking cigarettes?" I say and he nods holding up ten fingers. "Oh yeah." I get up and grab some beef jerky and hand him cash. "Nah its on the house." I amile and go back behind the counter and sit down eating it. "Oh looks like we got a lost Cuban boy coming this way." "What?!" I look up and its Lance and I duck down. "Dont tell him I'm here that my boyfriend." He nods and zips his lips then the bell rings and Lance comes in. "Hello how may I help you?" Kyle asks calmly. "Um I'm just here to drop off missing persons posters if you could hang them up that'll be great but it would be even better if you've seen him heres a picture." He looks at it. "Nope sorry never seen him in my life but I'll keep an eye out for him." Lance sighs sadly then leaves and Kyle looks down at me. "Im not gay but damn you got yourself one hell of a man and you're just gonna leave him hanging?" I stand up and go grab a box from the back. "Look its complicated I just dont want to hurt him." I start stocking shelves. "He probably thinks you're dead and that's gotta hurt." I sigh. "Are you trying to make me feel guilty?" He shakes his head. "No it's just if I was in his shoes I would be worried sick." I nod and head back behind the counter and hit my head on it. "Hey there will be no concussion in my store." He says with a smirk and I laugh. "You know what I'll call him to tell him I'm fine." I walk over to the phone and pick it up dialing his number and I hear it ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey its Keith I'm just here to tell you I'm fine you dont need to find me I'm safe and healthy."

"I'm coming to get you where are you?"

"No I'm starting a new life in starting fresh."

I look at Kyle and he motions for me to hang up. "I cant just do that!" I whisper yell.

"What? Keith who are you with did someone hurt you again."

"What no I'm fine really." I say then hang up on him and walk over to Kyle. "See it's not that hard to hang up on someone." He opens his arms for me to hug him so I do then we hear the bell ring and look to see who it is and its Lance. "Shit..." I duck behind the counter. "Keith I just saw you now come on we're leaving and who's this your new boyfriend!?" He yells angry. "Look man I'm as straight as a pole I'm just Keith's friend." Lance calms down a little and Kyle pulls me up by the arm. "Kyle what are you doing!?" I whisper yell at him. He bends me down and whispers. "Get your stuff and go home here I'll give you my number so we can still talk." In my ear writing his number on a slip of paper and hands it to me. And I slowly get out from behind the counter and walk over to Lance. "We need to get my stuff from my motel room." He nods and I wave Kyle goodbye and we leaves and go get my stuff then get back on the bus. "Why'd you run away is it because I told them about you skipping and smoking?" I shake my head and bite the inside of my cheek. "Shiro slapped me so I left..." I look out the window. "He slapped you!? I'm gonna beat his ass for laying his hands in you!!" I shake my head. "Its fine I've been hurt worse by foster parents."
