Hidden

Chapter 19

I listen to the sounds of the park before going back towards the house. I open and close the door and walk into the bathroom. My eyes were pink and my face was tear stained. I go back into the living room and sit on the couch. Falling back asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up the next morning and start making some cereal. my face still had a little tear stained but other than that I looked fine. I hear the door open and Scott come out, fully dressed

"Hey honey."

He nods a hello and puts on his shoes

"Where ya going?" I ask as he grabs his coat

"Out"

He shuts the door and continues walking outside and around the corner. I burst into tears. What if my relationship was going down the drain. I put my unfinished cereal in the sink and walk away. My stomachs growling for not eating for 12 hours. I sit in our room and just cry.

"Why me." I whisper

I hear the mailman and get he mail. Ads and shit until I find one specifically addressed to me. I open it and see it's a letter

From my parents.

Dear Mitchell,

I'm rather disappointed you kept up your foolish decision
to remain gay and run away. The told us that your alive
but I really don't care. We won't support you and please
do not contact us you worthless fag. I'm disappointed in
who you have become.

Mark

I slide against the wall and bawl. Everything was falling apart. I throw it into my dresser and walk into the bathroom. I haven't done this since I was 14 but I don't care.

I grab an extra shaving razor and put my wrist over the sink and cut it. The release instantly coming to me. I clean up and hide the razor, putting on a long sleeve shirt.

Here we go again.
