Chapter Twelve-The Times Change

Fluff is contained in this chapter

That part made me upset, but I was safe.... Right...?

It was dark, it was like I was blindfolded. Maybe I was, I couldn't tell. It was white, cloth I assumed. Nothing told me I was in danger, this time... Sure, there were a bit of shadows everywhere but, other than that nothing.

That's when I woke up, in a bit of a start. The figures were long, black and skinny and looked as if they touched you once. You'd die. That's when I felt something caress my cheek. Soft, warm....

"Al?" I said in a tired, hushed tone. He hummed, "It's me, you blind asshole." I heard a smile in his voice. I chuckled softly, we had school today.

"Your dad's gonna kill you..." I said, sadly and he sighed, kissing my forehead. "I know and, it's worth it. Get ready before I beat your ass."

Smiling, excitedly I got up and got dressed he left and so did Liz. Early, just to catch up with their families before school.

I knew how Allen's parents worked, they didn't really care but if they figured out he was like me, a faggot they'd kill him. You think Allen is nice now but, just wait until I get to school....

So, Travis dropped Tracy and Tiffany and I at school. After being called slurs and shit for the whole drive I got out of the car and heard footsteps coming near.

"Back. Off. Tiffany." I heard the male voice thunder, Allen I thought. She snickered and laughed "Aw, what're you gonna do hurt me? Looks like the blind devil finally has her guard dog back."

He growled, which made me get goosebumps I didn't like when things got out of control. I was trying to make sure that I didn't move. Allen didn't like when I moved, at all.

"Ivan. Come. Here." He boomed, I jumped walking towards him slightly and he pinned me to the locker. I whimpered and he growled, "You're not off the hook. Do you hear me?!" I nodded slightly, he let go.

I heard his footsteps go towards Tiffany and I heard a slap, a loud and hard slap. I jumped, hurrying to Soda's arms and she whispered to me, "Is that him?" I nodded, having been to in shock trying to process what had happened.

I ran to class and, did my normal. Then... Lunch period hit. I was sitting on the floor, eating along because Sally and Soda both had things to do. Clubs, I think.

I heard his footsteps go towards me, "Janitors closet. Now." He boomed, dragging me by my collar to the janitors closet. I felt a cold piercing pain in my throat

"O-ow...." I whimpered out, the pain going down oozing from my neck. "I fucking told you. You're. Not. Off. The. Fucking. Hook." I nodded, feeling the blood drip down my chest into my binder.

He pinned me to the floor, chuckling deeply. I got goosebumps, feeling him lick the blood from my skin. I bit my lip, trying to focus on anything else but the pain the wound gave me.

I heard shuffling from outside of the hall, probably someone looking for me. Allen stopped and, let me go. He knew as good as anyone, if a teacher walked in. We'd be fucked.

He whispered in my ear, "Stay quiet." I nodded, hesitantly. Getting up and, cleaning up the blood.

He cleaned up but, before I got off the hook. He handed me the knife and kissed my forehead, "I love you. Keep the knife until the end of the day, blind bitch." I blushed, softly at his touch.

He may have been a dick in front of everyone else but, around me... He was soft, gentle. Sometimes, that is.

I went outside after the coast was clear (Allen told me when it was) and, I went back into the lunchroom. I heard him follow about 15-20 minutes later.

I sat down with Soda and, Sally. They laughed and, teased me for the rest of the period.

Liz normally sat with Allen which, I was okay with. Allen got picked on, a lot too... Not only by his father but, by Tiffany and their heathens...

From what I've heard, Tracy normally sat with the newspaper group. She wasn't apart of the newspaper crew but, she was the type to look for all the information she could get.

I, of course sat with Soda and Sally. "Oi, dreamer boy." I heard Sally say, making me snap out of my small dream-like episode.

"So, how did you and Allen meet?" She asked, almost instantly. I blushed, "We actually met before I came to school, at all... We met at the park a walk away from the apartments." I responded with, of course not telling her the full story.

"So, you guys met? But like, what's the story you fucking fag." She said, jokingly. I laughed, "I was on a swing set, pretty much alone waiting for Neil to pick me up. He always came to pick me up after work." I replied

"And?" Soda chimed in, enthusiastically.
"And, they saw me and starting talking to me. Called me out on being depressed and, my dumbass broke down in front of them. People I just met, it was... Something." I shrugged, picking at my food eating some

I heard a long pause, don't know if it was from shock or pity. "Hey, Ivary." I heard Tiffany say, I rolled my eyes sighing. "What, Tiffany?" I responded, lowly really not looking forward to her talking to me. At all, she couldn't do anything though because of the teachers.

She then got real close to my ear and, said "If you want Allen to not be caught by his little daddy you will meet me after school." I clenched my fist, 'damnit.' I thought.

I nodded, not able to respond with words. I was frustrated, she was blackmailing my boyfriend if I didn't do her bidding... I didn't think it could get any worse.

That's, where I was wrong...
