Riker and Roy graduated from high school and are living a normal life, though there are still some obstacles that they have to face. They both applied for the same college, but only Roy got accepted. They have gotten through the summer and dealt with people's reactions. Although, they do love each other, it still does hurt to be separated.

Riker sighs and sits on his bed. "It's the last day I'll be able to see him." Riker said to himself. He laid on the bed while looking at the ceiling, facing the fact that he'll miss his Roy. He grabbed his phone and wanted to call Roy, but his words were clogged in his throat.

Roy is excited to start his new life at college. He has to keep his cool though so he doesn't upset Riker. "I'm sure gonna miss him..." Roy said to himself.

Just then, his dad bursts in his room and shouts, "I KNEW YOU WERE FUCKIN' GAY!! GET YOUR SHIT, AND GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!! I WON'T OWN A SIN FOR A SON!!" He then slams the door shut.

Roy doesn't know how to feel or where he should go. He really was confused. How in the world did he find out? Does his mom know about it? Does she approve of his decision?

Roy has so many questions and he was trying to put the pieces together, but was having no luck. He wasn't even in the mood to argue with his dad or talk with his mom. He just got his stuff and left the house.

"Wonder where do I go now?" Roy grabs his phone and calls a hospital. "Yes, can I be hospitalized?" Roy said to the operator. After the phone call, Roy got the address from the hospital and went there.

They had to ask him questions about his mental state, make him take off his clothes for any scaring or self harm. He also had to get his parents approval, but he didn't have any parents anymore. At that moment, he just bursts into tears.

The doctor said "It's ok, you can stay by my approval." Roy let out in a weakly tone "T-thank you.." so then Roy was given some papers, and he filled them out. He filled them out, and was given a room.

The room had two twin sized beds, and were a couple years old, looking at its structure. There were two bookshelves, but that's what the "closet" was supposed to be. The other bed was occupied by someone, so it looks like he had a roommate now.

Since it was nighttime, he had to go to bed. They ran a certain program, and he needed sleep, but when he got in his bed he couldn't sleep. He felt like he was empty, like nothing mattered anymore, and that no one cared about him. He looked at his phone on the bookshelf, wanted to text his love, but he didn't want him to worry, so he turned away from it. He twisted and turned in the bed, wanting to get some sleep, but he couldn't. He then looked up at the ceiling and he started having tears coming down his face. He got tired of everything, and eventually cried himself to sleep.

"Why isn't he answering his phone or reply to my texts? Riker though to himself. "Maybe he just went to bed because he wants to do good in college, so I shouldn't bother him."

Riker puts his phone on the charger and sets it on the dresser. He then needed to take a shower, so that he could fall asleep easier. He grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom. Riker turned on the water, and striped down to his boxers and waited until the water was warm.

After that, he took off his boxers and stepped into the shower. Him and Roy been hiding their relationship for almost 3 years, so this was his only stress reliever when he got home.

"I hope he's ok." Riker said to himself. He didn't want Roy to be unsafe, or harmed. He needed to go by his house. He doesn't care if he got in trouble, I'll do anything for him.

Riker got out of the shower, and put on all black clothes with his black hoodie. He didn't want anyone to notice him. He quietly hopped out his window, and went down the pipe on the side of his house.

Before he knew it, Riker was noticed by someone. They shouted out "Hey!" and at that very moment, Riker took off running. It didn't make things any better because he could hear footsteps, and it seemed like they were getting louder and louder.

Riker then turned down an alley, and he quickly realized he was trapped. He turned around, hoping to not been found, but when he turned around, he saw a silhouette. The silhouette seemed to be a bit bigger and taller than Riker.

"Let's play a game." The mysterious person said. He had a very deep voice with all black on as well. He walked up to Riker and said "Why don't you become my prey?"

Riker wasn't able to describe how terrified he was. He just wanted to see what Roy was up to. "C-can you please leave me alone? I have somewhere to be." Riker said while biting his lip.

The person said "Fine, I'll let you go, but on one condition. He laughed in a evil-ish way.

At that moment, Riker felt chills go down his spine. He didn't want to do anything with this guy. He just wanted to get out of that alley. "What's that, exactly?" Riker responded.

"If you date me and do what I ask, I'll let you go, but if you don't, there will be severe consequences."

Riker suddenly had the urge to vomit. It felt like he was about to pass out. If anything, cheating wasn't a option, so he declined. "Yeaaaa..no, I'm not doing that. Riker walked past him and began walking out of the alley, but then he was stopped.

"Listen, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way." At that moment, Riker saw him slowly reaching out for his gun. He got a little dizzy, but still managed to say "Ok fine, we can date."

"Good, now kiss me." the guy demanded. Riker got pissed and shot him with the gun he had in both of his legs. After that, he wasn't gonna take the risk into running into him again, so he went back home.

Riker swiftly jumped back into his window, closing and locking it behind him. His mind overloaded with questions. Who was that man? What did he want? Why did he want to date me?

Even still, his main question still hasn't been answered. He deeply wanted to know where Roy was. Just at that moment, Riker got a notification and it was from Roy.

"Hey bae...I'm sorry to tell you this but I'm being hospitalized."

"W-wha?" Riker's heart shattered into pieces and a tear dropped onto his phone screen.

"Oh, Roy...." 💔
