My Little Viking

Hes broken, but I love him

Chilleds Pov

*Knock* *Knock*

Someone knocks on the door causing me to jump. I look up to check if it had woken Steven, no. Thank god. I get up from the floor where I had been since I herd Steven talk in his sleep, and I open the door. Its Minx, shes holding two plates of food. Once she sees my face her eyes widen.

"Are you ok?" She asks. Starring at me.

I didn't understand.

"Yea, Thanks" I say taking the food and closing the door.

I put Stevens plate next to him in the bed, and walk over to the mirror on the wall in the room. I can now see what she meant. My eyes were blood shot and puffy, dry tears on my face. I looked like shit. I go to the bathroom and wash my face, I look alittle better. Ohm is gone now so I don't have to sneak back to the room. I get back to the room, Stevens still asleep.Witch is good, he needs it. I sit on the floor again and eat my food. I take my plate to the kitchen and start to walk only to be stopped by Minx.

"Is he ok?" She asks grabbing my arm again.

"Why do you care." I say in an angry tone. yanking my arm away but not walking away.

"I don't" She says Trying to sound cool, but failing

"He's sleeping" I say looking away.

"Are you two a... a... thing?" She asked hesitantly.

"Yea..." I say in almost a whisper. worried at what her reaction might be.

*.........................Silence......................*

"Can you keep a secret?" She says looking at me

"Yea I guess..." I say looking back at her.

I'm dating a girl...." She says looking down at her feet. "I only  bullied Steven so my friends wouldn't find out."

All I felt was pure anger. I wanted to punch her right in  the gaw but I didn't.

"Thata's not a good reason!" I say almost yelling

"I thought that if they thought I hated that kind of stuff they wouldn't think I was a lesbian." She said looking back up at me sadly "I'm sorry"

"Well I'm sorry, but sorry isn't going to help him is it!" I say clenching my fists. "Sorry doesn't help the fact that his dad almost beat him to death and makes him sleep in a dog cage!"

After that she just looks at me in shock. Her mouth moves as if shes trying to talk but nothing comes out. I feel tears start to run down my face. I don't say another word to Minx I just turn and run down the hall to the bedroom. I go in and slowly get into the bed, and grab Stevens hand. I don't want to wake him up but I need him. I lay there and hold his hand and I cry. I can hear Minx knocking on the door, but I don't answer it. Her reason was not good enough. No reason would be good enough. Hes been though so much all because he was just being himself. Hes broken, but I love him.
