Living Closeted

16 Part II

And just when I expected it the least... there was a loud noise, the lights went out and people started screaming. Everybody was running towards the exit kicking elbows and knees to flee from the immediate peril. I was still recollecting myself after I was harshly hit by the blow. Something volatile exploded near me. My ears are ringing and I think blood is coming from one of them. 

Not again... Why does stuff like this seem to follow me these days? Do I ask for too much if I say I wish I had my ol'14 years old life back? I was trying to get off the floor as I was massaging my jaw. Damn! This is going to hurt tomorrow. But just when I finally managed to get on my feet a second blow hits me from behind throwing me forward hitting the floor again. The whole house was now on fire. I was once again, choking in CO2 and whatever else was lurking in this room. 

My eyesight was all hazy and I now realize I'm missing my glasses. All I can hear are unintelligible screams from the people still trapped inside. Just then with the corner of my eye, I saw someone wanting to open the window. I tried to muster all the strength left in my body to warn him not to but I couldn't say a word. He opened the window and fresh oxygen that poured in fueled the fires that have now grown to indescribable proportions.

I lost consciousness. 

Adrian? What are you doing? 
He hugged me and put his hand on my butt. He then leaned in for a kiss which I happily responded to. Things started heating up and becoming blurry.
I was now running in a forest. It was pitch dark and I could barely see anything. I trip over a tree root and hit my forehead hard against a rock. I turn around to see the monster chasing me and I want to scream but I can't.
I now am driving a sports car around a city I don't know. Wait I don't have a drivers licence either. 
Mum? I hug her but she pushes me. She... rejected me? 
'Mum?' I said tearing up/

'How could you?'

'What do you mean I don't understand!?'

'I didn't raise my son to be... an abomination... a homosexual!'

I was trying to sob my tears and speak up. Defend myself. But I couldn't my heart had just shattered to pieces.

- He's waking up. Sh! Make room. He needs air.

I woke up from my unconsciousness state blinded by the neons on the ceiling and deafened by the beeping sounds of the machines around me. I felt a hug which was supposed to be gentle but hurt like hell. It made me ache and scream in pain. The person hugging me immediately retreat. It was my mother. The dream with her popped up in my head. Does she actually think that? I mean she doesn't now. But if she'll ever know. Will she have the same reaction?

-Aiden? I'm Dr. Hunt. You are at the hospital in the ICU. Can you tell me what day you were born? Good. At what high school are you currently studying? And how old are you? Very well. For the moment everything seems normal neurologically speaking. Aiden you have suffered massive damage. You have mild to medium burns all over your body. Luckily for you, neither are any close to your face. Even so, most of them, surprisingly I may say are mild burns and shall not leave any visible scar. We will attempt to minimise the permanent damage of the rest of the burns as well. You also went through surgery a week ago, thus the abdominal and thoracic pain. We had to fix some internal bleedings.

-Wait. A week ago? What day is it?
-Well, Aiden, sweety. You've been in a coma for almost 3 weeks. 
-You're kidding, right? 

And they weren't they gave me my phone. They weren't lying. I opened my Snapchat and took a selfie and put it on the story. 

'Thought you'd get away from me? I'm back bitches!'

Because of the recuperation time I had to go through to get back on my feet and out of that hospital now most of my Summer has passed by. I missed that Summer camp as well and on other stuff, I'm sure too. Andrea, unfortunately, was no longer in the country but Emma and Aya already want to meet and catch up.

Note to self. Get Satan to stop blowing you up and then BBQ you.

I am back. Exams have passed. I got good grades and all-cause I am a nerd and I gotta confirm my social status. I hope I haven't been gone that long to have lost any chance for this to actually get to people and be read. Imma post more soon. Enjoy! You knew he was going to make it :P. It's a past tense story :))
