His Fortress (BoyxBoy)

Chapter Twenty

~Danny's P.O.V.~

I was back to cleaning again today. Two weeks of sleeping in really gets to you. Mr. Kon woke my up at 6 as usual and I could barley making out of my bed room. It was quiet and lonely in this house too, which was a big difference. Gage and Kimberly were both out at school. I didn't know they were in school. Gage being 18 I thought he had graduated. But I guess they just have really long winter breaks. Which kinda sucked. I wont be able to spend as much time as usual now. And now that I think of it, two months isn't really that long.

Maybe I should stop things between Gage and I before it hurts to much to leave.

Should I? Yes, I didn't want either of us to get hurt because of me leaving. Long distant relationships never work... But I like him. But were both guys, it's... it's wrong!

I shook my head. I've never liked guys, ever. Hell I barely ever liked girls. Maybe that does mean I like men. I mean my friends and my mom approve. So why and I doubting myself? Maybe it's me that I don't approve of. If that makes sense.

I've kissed Gage and enjoyed it.

Gage has touched me and I enjoyed it.

I've touched Gage, and I want to do it again.

Am I afraid of being abandoned? But he would never do that... again. But isn't they saying if they've done it once, they'll do it again? No Gage wont. I bit my lip, before shaking it off and continuing my dusting job.

A while later there was a knocking at the door. I turned around to see Mrs. Pure standing in the door way with a smile on her face. I smiled back before walking over to her.

"Yeah is there anything you need?" I asked.

"Yes dear there is, this room looks great by the way. I didn't you would be this hard of a worker." She smiled.

"Thanks." I shrugged.

"Here, come eat lunch then I'll tell you."

I nodded before following her out. I decided my lunch was going to be something simple, so simple it was. I grabbed to pieces of bread, and peanut butter. I slapped some of the peanut cream on the bread and ate it.

What? Issues with peanut butter sandwiches? Yep didn't think so!

After devouring my sandwich and walked out to where Mrs. Pure was. She sat down her book when she saw me coming. She motioning me over to her, handing me a short list of items, and a few dollars.

"Dear can you run to the store down the road and pick these things up for me? I would do it myself but I'm not feeling very good." She apologetically stated.

I sent her a small smile. "I don't mind, I'll be back in a few." I waved and walked away.

On the back of the list there were directions to where the store was. I followed them and ended up at a store called Booths. I walked in and instantly got a bad feeling. Instinct kicking I quickly as I could I picked up the things that were on the list. Luckily there weren't that many. But just out of the corner of my eye I saw someone staring at me. I turned my head but they were gone. I got a slight look of the side of their face... It looked just like my dads.

But that's not possible.

Hes in jail. Isn't he?

My heart began to race. I quickly pulled up to a self scan and paid for the items. I threw them in a bag rather roughly before practically running out of the store. I  walked fast up the road. Foot steps followed me, making my adrenalin race. I looked around. People were scattered around the side walk. My dad's not here. He's not here. I kept repeating in my head. He's in jail. He'll be there forever. Forever for attempting murder.
