Will You Save Me // Jercy AU

16~ Waiting Out The Rain

A/N

Just so you guys know there is going to be some homophobic language in this chapter- just a heads up. I have also been guilt tripped into publishing this today by foundtheavacado so this chapter is dedicated to this bag of crazy hope you enjoy ut.

Percy's POV

I gently opened the window, slipping out onto the ledge- I was careful to make no noise.

I can't afford Gabe to hear me

Not now

A sigh of relief escaped my lips as I lowered myself down the fire escape- leaving the hell hole behind me.

'Hey' I said quietly, as I slowly hopped into Jason's truck.

He leant over, kissing me on the cheek.

'What injuries this time?'

I sighed, he always starts like this- he has for the last two weeks.

'Twisted ankle, bloody nose, cut on my left shoulder'

I saw Jason wince, subconsciously empathising with me-

With my pain.

'I'll get you outta there Percy, I just gotta figure out how'

I gave him a sad smile, he can't save me

No one can

'Where's my beer?!'

The brash yell from the living room shook me to the core.

'I'm-uh- I'm just coming' I shouted back, my mouth dry.

I grabbed a beer as quickly as possible and gently made my way to the living room- carefully trying to keep my shoulder stiff and keep my limping to a minimum.

'Get your worthless ass over here princess!'

I gritted my teeth and entered the room, trying my hardest not to berate the guy.

'Here' I said roughly, biting my cheek so hard I drew blood.

He reached out, prising the beer from my stiff fingers.

He took one disgusted look at it before throwing his eyes back to my hunched frame. He stood up, his hulking body towering over mine.

'How many... Fucking times do I have to tell you I want my beer opened!'

I gulped, hesitantly taking a step back away from him.

'I'll get it right next time, I'll- I'll do it righ-'

'Don't. fucking. Bother with the next time...You... faggot'

I sucked in my breath sharply, I could feel the hatred burning in my eyes.

A fire suddenly flared inside of me

I've had enough.

'So what?! I'm gay! Yes, I like dudes! Is that such a fucking problem?!'

Gabe stared at me, his eyes bulging from his head.

'Yes, it is a fucking problem. It's fucking disgusting and I don't want to have to share my house with some fag!'

I swung my fist at his jaw, overcome with rage.

How dare he insults me after hitting me year after year.
