Saving you (boyxboy)

Frustration

Lorenzo^

Lorenzo's POV

The night was cold. Ruthless if I were to describe how it made me feel. There was something in the air that made me feel weird and I'm not sure if I liked it or not.

The park was close and it was just calling my name. I typically go there every night to just think and yes at 2am since everyone likes to judge me during the daytime.

I liked the emptiness that the world held at this time of night. No one was out and the world just seemed so lively. It was so much better.

I arrived at the park in not even 5 minutes considering I lived behind the trees that separate the park from my house.

I stepped foot in the park an froze. No one was usually here. This young boy is just laying in the middle of the field, looking like he's deep in thought.

Typically I would've scared him and made him leave, and I know it's rude but if people are scared of me already, then what do I really have to lose at this point. But as I made my way over there and was about to say something when I was standing beside him, I noticed his eyes were closed and he had a black eye.

I shrugged and laid down instead. Might as well get comfortable.

We chatted. It was the first time someone who knew my name didn't run away from me. It was shocking that someone so unprotected and small could look at me with a damn smile and still introduce himself.

He limped when he walked away. I want to know what happened to him and why I haven't seen this boy before. His last name sounded familiar, which was odd but I just couldn't place it.

I don't know what came over me but I shook his hand and the gentle touch of goosebumps that ran up my body told me to not let go. He was getting scared and I didn't want to be the reason.

The built up frustration I was holding was eating me alive as I let him walk home alone, knowing he had just got himself beat up. I couldn't change that now though. I stood there, helpless, as I let him waltz his way down the pavement.

The dread of going back home to an empty bed made me want to punch a wall. I sometimes hated being involved in this damn mafia. It made everything incapable of liking me. Everyone in this damn town knew me and it even surprised me when Gio told me he knew, considering I know everyone in town and haven't seen him around.

I walked through the front door to be greeted with darkness. Oh how I loved it. It held emotion that no one showed. The suspense and jittery feeling you get when you walk through the darkness unaware of your surroundings. That's why I loved going out at night, well more like early morning.

I made my way upstairs and undressed myself before crawling in bed. My thoughts kept going back to Gio and how he wasn't afraid once he saw me. I also want to know how he knows who I am.

He was cute, I'll admit. I didn't quite like the fake smile he kept giving me. I could tell he was obviously upset. I'm hoping I see him again. It seemed like he was the only one who wasn't scared of me and might understand me.
