The ambulance arrived at the hospital ten minutes later and Clay got driven inside on a stretcher. My mum was driving here and I ran with the doctors. I hadn't let go of Clays hand the whole time and I wasn't planning to.

I got sent away when Clay needed and MRI scan and I sat with my mum waiting. I was so shocked about everything that I started crying. My mum held me close and looked me in my eyes.

'He will be okay.'

'I l-love him, mum. I'm so sorry.'

'I know you do and I'm totally okay with that.'

'I don't want to b-be gay.'

'Being gay is fine, sweetie.'

'It's not, Clay got just beaten up.'

'His parents are very homophobic, but being homophobic is wrong. Being gay isn't.'

'He is so beautiful.'

'What do you like about him?'

'His hair, his eyes, his smile, the way he talks, his personality, his body, his kisses.'

'You never stutter when you're with him.'

'He makes me so calm. I just wish to keep our r-relationship a secret for a while.'

'You don't have to tell it to everyone. You can talk about with me.'

'He is so- beautiful.'

My mum smiled and rubbed my hand.

'You really love him.'

'Mum, I sometimes wish to be s-straight to make you more p-proud.'

'I'm so incredibly proud of you, maybe even more proud since it takes a lot of courage to come out and get a boyfriend.'

'Did you know I was gay?'

She nodded. 'Yes, sweetie.'

'How?'

'Because I saw the look in your eyes as soon as you looked at Clay. And then you told me you kissed with him.'

'Have you always known?'

'A little, I expected it, sweetie. And that's totally fine.'

'I just want to kiss him again.'

'You might be able to,' my mum said. She pointed at a doctor walking in.

I jumped up and looked at the doctor.

'Come, you can see him.'

I run to Clays room and kneeled down next to his bed. He looked at me and smiled. I covered his face in kisses and held his hand tightly.

'I love you,' I whispered.

'I love you too,' he said, kissing my cheek.

The doctor smiled and spoke up.

'We have the results. Clay, you broke two ribs and you broke your jaw. You have a concussion and a lot of bruises and severe cuts. Some cuts need to fixed with stitches. You have to rest a lot and someone needs to stay with you.'

'He can stay with us,' my mum said.

I smiled and kissed his hand. 'Does talking hurt?'

He shrugged. 'A little, but I don't feel the pain that much yet because of the adrenaline.'

'And you are getting strong medication,' the doctor said.

'Can he go home today?' my mum asked.

'Yes. What are you from him? His brother and mother?'

'I'm his boyfriend and that's my mum,' I said.

'Oh sorry. We have to inform his parents.'

'What the hell? Haven't they informed y-you?'

'No?'

'He got abused by his parents, lets not call them,' my mum said.

'I'm sorry.'

I didn't listen to their conversation anymore and I kissed Clay softly. He smiled through the kiss and we broke apart after ten seconds.

'You're still so beautiful.'

'Am I really bruised?'

'A little, but you're so handsome.'

'George?'

'Yeah?'

'You almost never stutter anymore.'

I smiled. 'Because you make me so calm.'

'I wish to have some time alone, I want to kiss you.'

I looked up and saw that the doctor had already left. My mum heard Clay and stood up. 'Here you have some time alone,' she said grinning.

She walked away and Clay and I started kissing. It was soft and tender, since I didn't want to hurt Clay. He grabbed my middle and I rubbed my hand through his hair. We kissed for a long time, but we startled when we suddenly heard a voice.

'Uh, boys?'

I quickly broke the kiss and look up. The doctor was standing in the room.

'Sorry,' we both mumbled.

The doctor smiled shortly and then started laughing. 'It's fine. I only wasn't expecting to walk in on that. But Clay, you're free to go home.'

My mum walked in and ten minutes later Clay sat in a wheelchair on his way home. He would live with us for now and I was more than happy with it.
