When You Left

2 Years Ago, Josh's POV

I walked through the halls of the school with my head down. Everyone knows now, no one has approached me yet. There are some whispers, might be about me maybe not.

I walked to the football field and sat on the bleachers. These past few days have been hell and I don't know what to do. My parents are shutting me out, my friends...wait I don't have any of those anymore.

Everyone seems to be drifting away, the only person that talks to me is Jamie and Joshua behind close doors. Good to know I didn't have any real friends.

Lunch time ended and I was walking to my class. I felt something pull my hoodie and push me into a nearby  locker. What the? They were punching me in my face my gut. I dropped to the floor and I saw Bryan looking at me with disgust in his eyes. His two friends hold lifted me by my arms. Bryan punched me, it hurt like a bitch. They dropped me on the floor and Bryan spat in my face.

"Fucking fag"

They walked away, before I realised what just took place I was crying. On the floor I put my head in my hands and cried.

I stood and ran, I ran and I didn't stop. I'm now walking on the streets and I don't know where to go. I feel like I have no family, no friends, no one. I miss him so much, no matter what society do or say I will still love him.

I saw a store came into view so I entered. I need something, anything. I need to release this pain in my head and chest.

I walked through the liquor isle. I don't know anything about liquor so I'll just pick randomly. I grabbed a bottle of grey goose and ran out of the store without paying. I could hear the cashier yelling at me. I looked back and saw him calling someone.

I ran down the street and stopped when u realised no one is following me. I don't want to do this, Mal would understand, right?.

No one in this place hate me because of my personality. Everyone hate me because of my sexuality. It's stupid why would you hate someone because they love the same gender that don't make any sense to me.

I opened the bottle and drank the rum. It burns as it surf down my throat, why do people drink this crap?.

I felt dizzy, I already drank half the bottle and I'm not feeling anything different. U should be drunk know but I'm not. I drank the whole bottle of liquor and I felt awful. I didn't know rum could full your stomach.

I walked and walked and walked. I'm tired asf, but that's not going to stop me, I'm not going back. Everyone hates me, seconds later I fell on the floor. A series of pain was sent through my chest.
Those guys hit me pretty bad.

I looked at my phone and saw the time, wow! Its late, I should probably get home, nah! I laid there in the floor.

I looked up in the sky, the stars were glistening and the moon was glaring all over my face.

"Is this what you want?" I shouted to the sky. "Uh?, to see me on the ground with dirt and bruises all over my face".

I tried to get up but I failed, I fall flat on my face. I started to sing, " you are not hearing, there's never been a moment you were forgotten. You are not hopeless, but you have been broken, your innocence is stolen..." I placed my head in my hands.

I was crying again, I saw flashes of lights a mixture of blue and white. Great! The cops are here. I hear footsteps approaching me.

"Mr. Hale?" I nodded, as much as this spot is comfy I need my bed.

"Come with me"

"I can't stand" he assist me with standing and I was now in the car.

Minutes later he pulled into my drive way. I did not want to see my 'parents' now. I stormed out of the car and slammed the car door.

"Hey!, take it easy on the car" the police officer yelled. I walked into my house and was greeted by my parents.

"Where have you been?" They shouted in union. I got angry when I saw their faces.

"Don't pretend like you care" I snapped, my mom eyes widen in shock.

"We do!" the police officer gave them a piece of paper and exit the house.

I need to be away from my parents now, I need to go to my room and meditate.

"Don't you dare talk about caring " oh no she didn't. I care about so much things and they always take them away.

"Really?"

Scuffed

"But the moment you found out who I was you treated me like I'm not your child"

Silence

"You sure have a weird way of showing it" they both stood there in silence, keep taking small glances at each other.

"Josh, we accept you, we just have a hard time adjusting"

"Well, Take all the time in the world" I walked pass them both and went to my room.

Adjusting?, I need to bathe.
I entered the bathroom and strip my clothes.

The water felt good on my skin, it hurts where there are cuts, Otherwise the cold water is all I need.

I  can't live without him, I just cant. How could they send him away? I Might not see him again.

I laid on my bed, the time is so late and I can't sleep. I keep thinking of his face, his perfectly shape face and the touch of his soft lips.

I will see him again not tomorrow, not today but someday.
