Garroth's POV
I was walking toward my homeroom. I was almost there when I was stopped. It was Gene. I looked up at my boyfriend. He smiled lovingly at me. He grabbed my hand and led me away from my homeroom. I protested. I actually wanted to go to class. Any other day and I would have not fought him. I yanked my hand away and started back to homeroom rushing. Suddenly Gene stepped in front of me. His eyes were cold. Hateful. He slapped me. Hard. I yelped in pain hand flying to my cheek.
Suddenly I woke up. I breathed heavily. Just another nightmare flashback. I slowly calmed myself hand subconsciously going to my cheek. I hated how Gene made me do things I didn't like. But I'm free of him. Granted I still talk to him and hang out with him. But I moved on. Gene is a lot sweeter now... At least Zenix doesn't have to deal with what I did... I curled up with the comfort stuffy I have. It was a adorable little rhino that Laurance won me at a fair. I won him a matching on. They literally can stick together. I was panting and a few whimpers and tears slowly rolled down my cheeks. I told very few people about Gene... And the abuse. Vylad was first. Then Aph. Then mummy then... Zane. And finally... I told Laurance. He helped me most to escape Gene. I heard a light knock on my door. I quickly wiped all evidence of me crying away pushed the Rhino under my pillow and got up wrapping my blanket around me tight. It was winter. So it was freezing. I opened my door expexted Zane to be there to complain about something. Like usual. However. This time it was Laurance. My eyes widened at his red eyes that showed he has yet to sleep and that he hasn't for a while. I quickly pulled him into my room shut the door and guided him to the bed. I laid down with him and held him close. He held me back and murmured "by the way. I heard you crying. Another nightmare flashback about him?" I just nodded my head. Having him beside me was calming and comforting. Laurance slowly fell asleep. I soon joined him. Before I did. I noticed he had the Rhino I won him. I grabbed mine. It couldnt mean anything that he still had it. Or slept with it. Right
Do you really believe that?
Nope. But we are stubborn.
Yes we are.
We are also dense.
And not observant.
And we don't seem to see the simplest things.
Yeah. But hey. At least we know our problems.
That is one step closer to fixing them.
Yeah. But how many more steps do we need.
Quite a few.
Exactly. Also what stage are we from the break up years and years ago?
Well. We went through denial negotiation and anger. So either depression or acceptance.
Most likely depression knowing our mentally unstable self.
True.
I went to sleep. I knew that my life was gonna change forever soon. And I also knew. I wouldn't be able to stop it.
