I Cant Deal With This Right Now

Josh POV

Its been a month since I've seen Mal and I can't stop thinking about him. I can't concentrate at school in classes, nothing.

I dragged myself out of bed and took a bath. Mom and dad had shut me out since the day they found out I was bisexual.

I went down the stairs and I heard mom and dad talking. I went in the kitchen and sat at the table, they both stared at me as if they expected me to say something.

I looked them in the eye and stood, took my bag.

"Young man that is no way to treat your parents " my mom snapped. I turned and faced her, anger raging through me.

"You be the one to talk about fair, I'm miserable because of you" my mom expression saddened and she walked towards me.

"We had to send him away" she paused and looked at dad.

"You think you are the only one hurting, well no, were hurting as well" I scuffed and walked away, she grabbed me by the upper arm.

"Watch your attitude " I snatched my arm out of hers and walked away.

I went to school feeling sad again for the past month. I stepped out of the car and walked to the library.

I sat at the table, started listening music and close my eyes. I felt someone presence above me, so I opened my eyes and looked up to see Jamie eyes meet mine.

He sat next to me "How are you?" I told Jamie about the hold situation and he has been supporting me since Mal left.

I placed the ear pads on the table. "You know " he put his hand on my shoulder and gave me comfort.

Lunch time I sat at the table by myself until Jamie joined me. I looked up and saw chanté approaching me, I really don't want to talk to her now.

"Hi, babe" she said in a high pitch voice, I ignored her. She rubbed her index finger on my fore arm. I stood immediately, "don't touch me!, and I'm not your bae"
I shouted, everyone heads turned to me and I walked away.

Her face grew with anger then it faded and she started to smile. "I know you weren't interested, or else you wouldn't speak to that fag" I stopped in my tracks and turned.

"What was that?" She crossed her hands and stood on the table. "Yeah, everyone Josh Hale is gay and I can prove it"

She took out her phone and on it was the same picture of Mal and I kissing at the beach. I was enraged with anger, I stepped up on the table and grabbed the phone out of her grasp.

"Where did you get this?" She started to grin.

"Where do you think?" I started to connect the dots.

"Did you send the picture to my parents?" She smiled.

I threw her phone in the wall and walked out of the cafeteria. I felt do betrayed, 'why would she do this?'

I went inside of my car and sat there in silence for a while.

A few minutes later Joshua approached me. "Was that true, were you guys together? " he asked sounding a bit hurt.

"Yeah, your sister just made it pretty clear"

"Was that the reason why Mal left? "

I shrugged ''what do you think?" I said before driving away left Joshua in the parking lot.

'I can't deal with this right now, I just can't' I drove home and went straight up the stairs.

As I walked through the hall I stared at the big red door. 'I wonder what's inside?' I walked to the front of the door and opened it.
