(JAEDEN'S POV)
I wake up once again due to a text message from Finn telling me to hurry up, I put on my uniform and rush downstairs to meet him, but first there is a note on the door. "Make sure you are ready to go at 5:30 to go to Wyatt's house after Dad and I finish work, have a good day, Love Mum". "Great" I thought to myself I had almost forgotten about the birthday bash that was coming up this evening, it put me in a really bad mood. I leave the house and lock the door before getting in Finn's car, "you really need to set an alarm Jae" he snickers, "yeh, yeh" i respond and we get on our way towards the quick drive to school. I didn't really talk much to Finn, he knew about my mental health problems and probably assumed I just needed some space, it was worse for me though because I would have to spend the night with my nemesis Wyatt Oleff. We pulled into school and quickly hurried to class as we often do just making it before the bell rang. It was English and it was my only class with Wyatt, I saw him across the class and instead of making a comment towards me he just uncharacteristically stayed quiet. He surely knows that I will be at his house tonight and he probably isn't pleased about it. Once again the school day went on reasonably quietly apart from a few homophobic slurs, I just don't understand why people in this school can't just mind their own business and not worry about what others are doing in their own personal lives. Finn was meeting at Jack's house after school so I had to walk home it took me roughly 20 minutes until I just collapsed on the couch, I looked up at the clock which was reading 3:27. I sigh to myself only 2 hours until I have to spend the night with that waste-man, I decide to bing some Netflix for the next hour and a half until I need to get ready. I think to myself what are the most manly clothes I wear, I don't need to give Wyatt a reason to bully me. I just wear casual with some black ripped jeans, a white top as-well as socks and slides, who knows I think to myself maybe this night won't be quite as bad as i'm thinking it will. Both my parents arrive and after 20 minutes of them getting ready we drove out for a quick stop at the bottle-store and then the Oleff's household. At the bottle-store I grabbed two Dark Fruit Ciders to keep me going for the night, my parents were both completely fine with me drinking alcohol since they believed 16 old enough to drink, little did they know hoe drunk me and Finn have got in the past. We head out to Wyatt's house and pull up in their drive, I jump out the car scared but slightly excited surely this night couldn't go that bad, my parents ring on the doorbell and Mrs Oleff is there to invite us in. "Happy Birthday Tara" my Mum greeted Mrs Oleff, "Oh Thank You, come in and take a seat you three", we walked inside and there was no Wyatt to be seen, maybe luck was on my side and he was at Chosen or Caleb's house. My heart stopped as he trickled downstairs to meet my parents, "Hello Mrs and Mr Martell' he said like a prat, "Wyatt could you please take Jaeden up to your room so that the adults could enjoy some time to socialise, we'll call you both down once dinner is ready" his mother articulated. I followed him upstairs dreading every moment until we arrived in his room, it was huge with a massive king sized bed, an on-suite and a walk-in wardrobe. Hey just lay down on his bed without saying a word to me, I sat down on a desk-chair on the other side of the room, neither of us talked for the next 45 minutes as we just sat on our phones without saying a word to each other. It could have stayed like this for days until Wyatt's Mum called us both down for dinner, he rushed out of the room and I just took my time. We both sat down at the table next to each other, it was Pizza, my favourite, I knew this night wouldn't be as bad as I dreaded, everyone ate dinner and there were good vibes all round until everyone finished and Wyatt and I went back upstairs to his room. Once we got back up there we resumed our roles from before of not socialising and just going on our phones. I eventually plucked up to courage to talk to him and just said "hey", he replies "what do you want faggot". I was in shock and reply with "what the hell man, i'm just trying to start conversation and you just have to be an ass to me", "if it were up to me , you wouldn't even be here, the only reason i'm not talking to you is because my parents get really angry when I say shit". Still in shock with how unbearable he is I exclaim "it isn't just saying shit, it's being homophobic, it ain't cool to be a dick to someone just because of what they do in the bedroom", "I don't fucking care" he responds, "don't try and make me gay just stick to your faggot friends and leave me alone you quire". That statement put me on the edge of tears and I just left the room and rushed to the bathroom, how can someone be such an asshole, I close up into a ball and cry my eyes out until it was time to leave. What I had been dreading came to pass, this night was really just like hell.
