Cold Love

Anger issues

Alex quietly slipped into the house.

It was 2 in the morning.

"Where were you?", asked his aunt...STILL SIPPING HER COFFEE!

(Ok fine I'll stop with her sipping the coffee.)

"I-I told you. I was with Collen at the park watching the stars", stuttered Alex.

"mhm, sure ya did", replied his aunt not believing him.

"You don't have to lie you know", said his aunt. "I know your gay Alex". And you have nothing to be ashamed " reassured his aunt.

"I'm not...GAY!", screamed Alex and ran out the door.

"Why does EVERYONE think I'm gay", thought Alex.

A few days later Alex decided he wanted to visit his father in jail. Sure his dad abused him but Alex had a soft spot for him.

"Hey, kiddo. long time no see", said Alex's dad.

He looked REALLY tired and skinny and so untidy.

"Hey...dad.", replied Alex keeping a few feet away from him.

"I have something to tell you, dad..."

"What is it", asked Alex's dad.

"I-I think I'm gay", muttered Alex but loud enough for his dad to hear him.

"WHAT?! YOU FAGGOT! IF I WEREN'T IN JAIL I WOULDV'E KILLED YOU! YOU'RE A FUCKING DISGRACE!", shouted Alex's dad.

He leaped from his chair and started choking Alex.

Alex woke up in a hospital bed wary of his surroundings.

"Where am I?", He wondered.

"OH! THANK GOD YOUR AWAKE!", screamed his aunt in relief.

"You are NEVER visiting that bastard again", Said his aunt sternly.

"Mhm", what happened after I fainted?" asked Alex.

"Well, your father got taken away. And he's going to get the Lethal injection in a few days", told him his aunt.

"WAIT- c-c-can we visit him before that. I know that he abused me and wasn't a great dad but I love him and it isn't his fault that he has gone crazy. He had to go through ALOT of trauma with mom's death."

"Alright...fine, said his aunt reluctantly.
