FLASHBACK
Six months ago.

I walked out of one of the bathroom stalls and to the sink. I tucked my long hair behind my ear as I turned on the tap and washed my hand. The door opened and I looked from the corner of my eyes and sawnDamian walk in with four of his dogs who followed him about to mean something.

I said nothing and continued washing my hand with the soap.

"Hello, brother."

"Do not use that Damon Salvatore reference on me, Davian." I said and turned off the tap, I cleaned my hand with a souvenir and dropped it in the bin. I turned to go and Davian blocked my path, I sighed and rolled my eyes.

I turned off the tap once I was done and turned to look at him. "What'd you want, Davian? Seriously, i have to head back to class, one of us has to care about studying to....you know? Get away from the likes of you."

"A little birdie told me you told Dad that I was bugging you." He said with a smirk.

I cocked my head to the side. "And is that little birdie, your pathetic, gold digging whore of a mother?" I asked with a smile and Davian's smirk disappeared and turned into a scowl.

He grabbed me by the shirt tightly and pulled me closer to him while he breathed heavily. "You are testing my patience, Elvis."

"You need to seriously brush your teeth, Davian. It's worse than a two months old dumpster." I grimaced.

"You think you're really funny, huh?" He let out a bitter laugh.

"I never called myself a comedian, did I?" I chuckled.

Davian let go off my shirt with a little laugh, he after my shoulder and turned to go but turned back to me and punched me hard across the face. I stumbled and held the wall for support, I winced in pain and touched my lips. I looked at my fingers and saw blood, I wiped it off and turned to Davian, chuckling.

"Wow, you do hit like an infant." I said and let out a sigh, acting like it didn't hurt even when my face stung so bad. "I could put in a favor for you and ask Alex to teach you some moves that doesn't involve hitting like a five year old girl."

I smiled and looked at the boys behind him. "Did you know he's scared of her?" I giggled. "I think it's also funny how you lots just follow him around because he feeds you all don you're from broken homes or lack self respect or love."

"Shut the fuck off." One of them said as he approached me but Davian stopped him by placing his hand on his shoulder.

"Oh, you better listen to your master." I smirked and looked at Davian.

"You know you are such an arrogant pest."

"Oh." I grinned. "Did your biological father think the same and is why he sent you all off ?"

That was enough to set him off, I could see it in his eyes. Even I knew by now what his trigger words and points were.

Davian groaned and reached out to me, punching me again and throwing me to the floor. I rose my knees up and my hands up to shield my face as they all began kicked me.

"Take your fucking hands off!" He snarled as he kicked.

It hurt.

It hurt a lot, but I took i took my mind off it. I tried to not be in my body so I wouldn't feel all the pains and it worked a bit.

He knew how to easy hurt my body, but I was going for the mind.

"Not so tough huh?" Davian chuckled and walked out with his guard dogs.

I laid on the floor, holding myself and trying to gather enough strength to stand. I moved further to the wall and rested my back against it as I panted heavily, my face was bruised. Hell, I was sure they broke something. My ribs hurt so bad and I was too weak to stand the fuck up.

The door opened and I tried to hide my face to avoid looking pathetic but I wasn't so quick and just looked down.

"Uh sorry, i uh...Elvis?"

I looked up once I heard that voice, my heart started pounding.

Chase.

"What the fuck?!" He threw his backpack aside and ran to me, kneeling beside me. "What the fuck happened?"

I huffed. "I uh...fell?"

"Yeah, I totally believe you. You fell and got blood on you and your lips busted and all of that." He said with a nod, looking at me like I was stupid.

"Chase, I—"

"Shush. Let's get you to the nurse's office." He said and tried to pick me up.

"No please." I shook my head at him. "I'm fine, really."

"Shut up and let me help you." He said and helped me to my feet, throwing my arm over his shoulder. "God, your brother's such an evil can't."

"How'd you-"

"I know it's him. You don't have any enemies in school except him and his hungry minions." He said as he helped me out of the bathroom.

I smiled.

This was my prince charming.

How could I stop my heart from beating too fast because it's so loud and fast, I was scared he'll hear.

At that moment. I didn't even think about the pain.

Just Chase

***

That night, 8 walked down the stairs, my face looked like a makeup done on Halloween after my beating at school. I walked to the table for dinner and sat on my normal seat, Dad looked away from Clarissa and at me.

"Dear God, look at your face." He said, his voice filled with concern. "Since when did you start getting in fights?"

I looked at him with a frown. "Fights? You think...I got in a fight?"

"Your principal called me and told me you got in a fight, said the nurse told him."

I chuckled softly. "How was I in a fight if there was no fight to begin with and they didn't even see me in 'the fight' . I was beat up by some jocks at school who hates my guts." I said and watched as Giselle fixed rice on my plate.

"What jocks?" He asked.

"Your other son." I said calmly, not even sparing any of them a look.

Davian huffed. "Seriously?"

I looked up at him. "Just because you beat me up today in the boy's bathroom doesn't mean I'll worship you and do your every will and also cover up for you in front of my father. You're still full of trash." My voice was still calm, I picked up the spoon as I looked away from him.

"Why do you hate me? Why are you so ungrateful?"

I chewed my food slowly since my face hurt and arched a brow at him. "Excuse me?"

"I saved you from those jocks when you all were fighting and this is how you repay me? I stopped the fight and you blame me for it."

I paused, blinking. I looked away from him and then Clarissa, then June and my father before laughing. "Oh, I see. This is one of those evil twin episodes you guys do. Awesome." I said and kept eating.

"I took you to the nurse. I stopped Chad and Richie from hitting you and-"

"Okay, I'll stop you right here, Davian." I said pointing my spoon at him. "Don't try to claim being batman when you're the joker. You beat me up because your whore of a mother-"

"Elvis!" Dad snapped, smacking his hand on the table making June and Clarissa flinch in their seat.

I looked him in the eye annoyed. "....your whore of a mother complained to you about me and said I was telling dad about how you keep bullying me at school and at home when he's not here." I continued.

"How dare you call me a whore!" Clarissa angrily said and I turned to her.

"What? You prefer the term gold digger?"

"Elvis, what the hell is your problem? What's with this attitude of yours? This isn't you! First you get in a fight and then you call your mother a whore?"

"Mother?" I laughed and regretted that a second later due to the little pain I felt. "Oh, she is not my mother. She barely is a mother to her own kids. My mother was everything Clarissa could never be, she could never match up. Yes, my mother is dead but how does she have two kids and—"

"Watch your mouth." Dad warned.

"See. This is what he does." Davian huffed . "I didn't want to say anything before but Elvis goes around and tells everyone at school that my mother is a gold digging whore." He said, his face filled with innocence. "What did we ever do to you? You were in a horrible fight and I saw my brother being beaten and I helped him out and this is what I get? We get?"

"Oh my God, Davian. Really? Quit the act. If I wanted to tell the whole school your mother was a gold digging whore, I'd be making cardboards at home and making postcards to share at school and even have a speakerphone to do that." I frowned. "And we're not brothers. The fact that you and your mother and sister always do this is sickening. You guys hurt me and act like the saviors and then dad here believes you like he's some kinda illiterate."

Dad slammed his fist on the table. "What the hell if wrong with you?"

"I should be asking you that, Dad! You actually do believe that I started a fight, that I was in a fight. You know me. You know how I feel about fights and how I want nothing to do with stuffs like that and yet you think I was in one."

"I got a call from your principal."

"Jesus. Dad, listen to yourself. The nurse knows what happens so why don't you ask her."

"Haven't you been listening, she told the principal about it." Clarissa said and I turned to her rapidly.

"When the real people of this family with the same blood are talking, outsiders shouldn't open their mouth to interfere." I snarled at her.

"That's it, you're grounded!" Dad yelled.

"Like I give a shit." I said and pushed my plate forward, standing up from my chair. "Today I'm grounded, tomorrow I deserved to be hanged." I snorted. "God, I hate this family so much. I hate it and I'm fed up. I'll give absolutely anything to not be here anymore." I said and walked away angrily and up to my room.

Why did the nurse tell the principal that I was in a fight when I wasn't?

Because Davian was feeding her dick and told her to say so.

♔ ♔

It's been a week since I started enjoying life, things were going my way. I wasn't poor Cinderella anymore, I was Jasmine like Jesse had asked me to be.

Dad had figured out who hit me after a little stunt I pulled and yes, he did catch Davian hitting me so he took his car keys away and handed it to June. Life was better now, I had the new iPhone. I had my dad's attention, well not all of it but at least he was listening to me now. I was even able to make him follow me to see mom and it wasn't even her anniversary or birthday yet.

He would tell me how I so much looked like my mother and how crazy it was and also told me on that day at the cemetery about the day they found out mom was pregnant with me and how excited they were. Dad knew how to exaggerate though and he had me laughing.

Davian was losing his shit the more and it was fun watching him do that, he couldn't hit me because dad would know it's him and June? Well, June was on my side now, I'd say. She's confused, so

It was great now.

Jesse and I were in Alex's house, it was Monday and school was over for the day. We had all completed our English homework about an hour ago so we just laid on her bed and talked for a while until I found something more interesting ten minutes ago.

"Are you currently stalking Chase on Instagram?" Alex asked, I looked away from my phone and at her, she was arching her brow at me.

I snorted. "Of course not. Why would I stalk chase?" I frowned and went back to staring at Chase's new uploaded photo on Instagram.

Damn he was a hottie.

I always imagined what life would be like if he was gay and I was out and we were dating. God, we'd be the perfect couple...so in love. We'd have so many sleepovers and talk about random stuffs. Friday nights would be movie nights and Saturdays are for the parks. I'd finally lose my virginity, we'd have so many crazy sex and then our families would know each other and we'll be meet again at the alter. I'll be putting on a white suit and he'd be putting on a black tux that makes him look so handsome, his hair would be combed backwards and we'll both be smiling cause we think we're both looking great. We'd put on our rings, kiss and be married. We'll move to Florida and start a new life, we'll have three kids and a roaster, maybe a dog too. We'll make love all night and watch our kids grow, have arguments and kiss to make it all better. We'll grow old together and leave this world together. The perfect life.

"Wow, he really is thinking about Chase." I heard Jesse say, I blinked and looked at them.

"W-What?"

"You've been staring at his photo for so long and actually muttered the words in quote " I do". Care to explain?" Alex asked and arched her brow.

I blushed and scowled at them. "I'm not...staring at his picture."

"Yeah, you are." She said and showed me Chase's picture on my phone which she was holding. I frowned and looked at my hands which was empty and back at her, I scurried up and dragged my phone from her hand.

"How the fuck did you take that from me?" I asked, kneeling on the bed.

"It's proof that you've been far into daydream land." Alex shrugged while Jesse laughed.

"I thought you said you didn't have anyone you were crushing on? Ugh, you're such a liar." Jesse shook his head at me.

"I don't...have a crush on anyone. Chase is just my past," I shrugged. "Look. Love isn't for people like me."

"You mean gay people?" Jesse arched his brow and sat up.

"No. Not...gay people. Gay people do get happy, I already told you this before Jesse. It's me. It's just...I'm not the kind of person to-"

"Hold that thought." A voice said cutting me off, we all looked at the door and saw Alex's mom looking at me with furrowed brows.

"Jesus, mom. Knock first." Alex sighed.

"You're in the room with two gay boys, why do I need to knock?" She asked as she walked over to us and sat beside me. "I couldn't help but eavesdrop on your last conversation."

"You do that a lot, mom." Alex said with a little nod.

Alex's mom ignored her and just stared at me. "Elvis, you've been through enough already. You've had bad things come your way, you were not happy for years. Ever since your mom died and your father married that Jezebel, it's been pain after pain. You were only happy when you were here and the thought of going home always made you sad before you even got there, that was something we all saw." I swallowed and looked down at my hands. "Listen child," I looked back at her.

"People like you deserve that love. If anyone deserves all the love in the world, it's you Elvis." She smiled warmly. "You've been happy for the past week, I've noticed that too and even Alex's father has and we were happy to know that you were fighting back without actually fighting." She grinned and I smiled at that. "Thanks to you." She looked at Jesse who shrugged with a smile.

"Nothing is to be deprived from you, child. So stop hurting your damn self." She said and bumped my shoulder with hers making me giggle and my best friends smile. "You're a beautiful boy whose heart just needs that right kid. You know, the boy who dates you will be the most lucky boy. Extremely." She said and ruffled my hair.

I smiled. This was why I loved Alex's mom. She was like Giselle, she was a perfect mom and sometimes I was jealous of Alex because she had Stacy there for her. To give her advice's and to make her feel at peace like she made me feel at peace now.

"Thank you, Stacy." I said and gave her a hug.

She wrapped her arms around me. "Anytime, sweetie." She said and then stood up. "Now, y'all gotta come downstairs with me. I made some baked chicken and I figured y'all just be hungry."

"Yes! I'm starving." Jesse said and quickly stood up.

"Me too."

"What about you?" Stacy asked me.

"I'd never say no to food made by you." I said and stood up as well with a grin and we all made our way downstairs.

♔ ♔

I got home around seven thirty, I first greeted Giselle in the kitchen before making my way up to my room. June saw me and smiled widely, waving at me while walking side by side with her mom down the stairs.

"Hey, Elvis!"

"Hey, June." I flashed her a smile.

"Don't." Clarissa warned and put June's hand down.

"What? I just wanted to say hi." June frowned.

"Hello, Clarissa."

She looked at me and smiled, she was dressed in a blue skirt that matched her blue blouse. A silver necklace and red shoes, her eyes forever remained manipulatively evil.

"Hello, Elvis. Nice shoes."

I kept staring at her. "Thank you, lovely personality you have. It'd make the dogs vomits."

"If I knew you were a dog from the start, I would have gotten you a bone." She said and laughed and I joined her in fake laughing.

"Oh." I frowned instantly. "Well would you look at that," I tilted my head to the side as I looked at her.

She stopped laughing and began wondering what I was looking at.

"Even with all the botox and surgery, you're still ugly on the inside." I hissed. "God knows the amount of maggots you've got inside of you."

She glared while June laughed.

"Shut up." She sneered at her daughter.

"What? It was funny."

I smiled.

"You think because you've got your father's attention that you can do what you want? You think you're smart."

"I don't know what you're talking about, mom." I flashed her a smile.

"Don't. Call me that."

I blinked. "I thought you always wanted me to call you my dearest mom?"

"I'd rather die in a fire." She grimaced.

"Good. I'll get the fuel and the matches. You just get prepared." I gave her a small nod. "I have to go now." I said and walked past them.

"Later, El." June said.

"You really are gonna make me regret not giving you up." I heard Clarissa say as they both walked down the stairs.

I chuckled softly and made my way down the hall and to my room when I spotted Davian also walking towards me but something wasn't right; he didn't have that hateful look, that look of poisonous venom.

He was.....smiling.

"Hey, brother." He greeted, his hands in my pockets as he stood in front of me.

"Davian, hey."

"Isn't it a beautiful night?" He asked, grinning from ear to ear like a villain in a Disney cartoon.

I frowned and just stared at him for a few seconds, studying him. "What are you up to, Davian and why are you smiling at me like that?" I inquired.

He shrugged. "Oh nothing, I just got a wonderful news and I'm excited."

"What news?"

He chuckled. "I'll see you later, bro." And with that he walked away.

I stood still for a few seconds before turning and watching him walk away.

That feeling was back.

That same feeling in my gut that I had weeks ago about something bad coming. He was up to something........or was he just trying to scare me?

That's what he does anyways.

He always tries to make me worry about nothing.

Hmph.

I walked into my room, shutting the door behind me. I threw my backpack on the floor, knelt to the ground and pulled out my diary from under my bed before laying on top of my bed, I opened it and took another pen from my drawer.

Dear Diary,

Today was nice like the rest of my week. Today, I got lost thinking about Chase which was the craziest thing and didn't even know when Alex took my phone. It was funny but embarrassing as well, I mean he looks so fucking good and I can't help myself. Try uncrushing the crush you've had on a kid since you both were little kids. Anyways we both know he doesn't look at me that way, hell he doesn't even speak to me so much but I guess a lot of people crush from faraway even when the person is so close to them.

I'm so jealous of that venom girlfriend of his cause she doesn't deserve him since she sleeps around but who am I to tell Chase that the girl he is in love with is having sex with the armies from 300 and yes, Davian is one of them, he plays a huge part in this.

It sucks and I wish he'd notice me more. God, I wish he was gay but then what would happen? I'm still in the closet which sucks and I'm never coming out.

I sighed.

Elvis ❤ Chase

I'm only human, I can't help liking him but I wish I didn't cause it hurts loving someone you're never gonna have.

Stacy said love was meant for me and I guess i believe her a little. My worst fear is having everyone know I'm gay and I can't live with that fear.

Enough about Chase and my stupid fear, let's talk about my evil stepbrother whom I think is up to something. He actually smiled at me and acted like what he isn't. Something isn't right there and I must find out what he's up to before he turns dad against me again.

I closed my diary and put it back under my bed with a sigh, I walked over to my dresser and pulled it open. I took out a necklace that mom had given me the day she died but I never wore it cause I tried to forget what I couldn't forget. It was a silver necklace with the symbol of a crescent moon, I always admired it whenever she wore it and wanted it but couldn't even wear it after she died.

I remember seeing June wearing it years back and I snapped, I had dragged it out of her neck and yelled like a beat at her; she was scared of me that very day, shocked at my outburst and actually cried but I didn't care. I didn't want her wearing what was my mother's, I was so mad at her for wearing something I didn't have the courage to wear.

Until now.

I fixed the necklace and stared at my reflection at the mirror, I let my hair down and smiled a little at myself.

God, I look so much like her.

I placed my hand on the necklace and let out a shaky breath. Maybe it was time I went around with her. She always said the necklace was a part of the moon and had the powers of the moon as well.

The crazy things I believed as a child.

I smiled.

♔ ♔

I walked down the stairs, carrying my backpack on one arm. I was dressed up in blue jeans, a white polo that was tucked in and a jean jacket. My curly hair was let down and I had a smile on my face as I made my way to the dinning.

"Hey, good morning El." June greeted with a smile.

"Hey, June." I sat on my regular spot.

"Hey Elvis, you look good." Giselle said with a smile and smoothened my hair backwards with her hand.

"Thank you." I grinned.

"Good morning, Dad." I greeted once he got to the table.

"Hey, son." He smiled and sat down, he was all dressed in a blue suit.

"Good morning, Dad." The twins chorused.

"Morning, loves." He smiled at them. "Your nights?"

"Great." They replied at the same time, smiling. I hated that twin thing they did of talking or answering the same time.

Dad looked back at me as Giselle served him and he smiled. "You're....you're wearing it."

It took me a second to understand before I smiled. "Yeah, I guess it's time." I nodded, smiling back.

"It's nice."

I grinned. "Thanks, Dad."

"She'll be happy."

I smiled and touched it, I could sense some jealous emotions on the table and my eyes went to Clarissa to see her glaring at me, I smiled.

"Good morning, Clarissa."

She quickly faked a smile once dad looked at her. "Morning, Elvis. The necklace is really pretty. That's the same necklace you lashed at June for, right?"

I nodded. "Yes. My mother gave it to me and I was ignorant back then, I was just mad but now I understand that what I did was wrong and I'm sorry, June." I tried my best to sound convincing.

June smiled. "Oh, it's fine Elvis. Forgiven as long as you drive me to school to- oh! Wait, I have Davian's car now."

I smirked and looked at Davian, he rolled his eyes at June's statement and looked back at me, smiling again.

I frowned, I was beginning to feel uneasy but tried not to show it.

After we ate, I spotted Davian and Clarissa talking, it made me wonder. I walked over to Giselle, my eyes still fixed at the evil mother and son.

"Giselle, is it just me or do they look like they are up to something?" I asked in a low tone.

She looked away from me and at them. "Well, they are always up to something, don't you think?"

"I know but-"

"Don't let it bug you. Go to school and when you return, we'll talk about it and figure it out together."

I smiled and gave her a hug. "I love you." I said and kissed her cheek. "Bye."

She chuckled. "I love you too, son. Bye, take care."

I nodded and headed for the door, I wasn't gonna think about Davian or anything.

♔ ♔

I got out of my car and into the school, today it felt like a lot of eyes were still on me like the first day I brought the Audi. Everyone was reading the school bulletin which seemed to have been published today and I wondered what got everyone's interest but then, the school bulletin was filled with stories and gossips that everyone was eager to know.

I walked over to my locker and changed some books and as I closed my locker, I realized that I had not been imagining it from the beginning. Everyone was actually sneaking glances at me and whispering and it made me feel uncomfortable and confused.

What were they all talking about?

Some would even smirk my way and as I passed, some would whisper something to their partner's ear. I hated such attention, it didn't feel good.

I quickly walked out of the hallway I was and to the other side as I looked around, holding my backpack tightly.

"ELVIS!"

I looked ahead and saw Alex and Jesse walking towards me, I quickly walked over to them as well.

"Hey,"

"Oh my God, are you alright?" Alex asked, looking worried.

"Yeah? Why is...why is everyone staring at me like I grew two heads or something?" I asked softly.

"Oh my, he doesn't know." Jesse let out a little sigh.

"Know what?" I frowned. "Guys? What's going on?"

Alex gulped and looked at Jesse and then me before handing the bulletin to me. "Page four."

I took it from her even when confused and went straight to the page four and read.

"Another good news, I got Alex a date with the man of her dreams. Finn. You know Finn, told you about him. I'm happy for her anyways, everyone gets to find love and be with who they want, well except me.
Yeah, sometimes being gay sucks a lot. Scared of what the world might think of you, how they might change when they realize that you being a guy likes dick. People can be mean and that's what I'm trying to avoid, I don't even think love is for me. Do gay people get happy endings? Only famous people do, I guess."

My frown deepened, this sounded awfully familiar. My breathing increased and I looked down, skipping a few lines.

"So Chase said hi to me today, I acted like a complete fool. I honestly don't know why I get nervous in front of him but I'm thankful for the Audi or he wouldn't have spoken to me at all. I couldn't stop myself from looking at those muscles. Damn me."

No. No. No.

I could hear my heart thinking erratically, it was so loud I was sure the whole school could hear it, Alex kept saying something to me but I couldn't hear her, I was focused on the bulletin, I skipped to the next page and the page after, they were continuations of the last.

My hands began to shake as I stared at every section.

They were all familiar.

They were familiar because I wrote them.

They had been gotten from the one thing I shared all my secrets with.

My diary.

Now the whole school knows......that Elvis Giroud is a fag.

Author's Note.

Do nor forget to vote for this chapter; I tried to make this chapter perfect and a part of me says I did good a bit.

Let me know your thoughts on this chapter.

I guess it all just got bad for Elvis. 😫

I just realized that the two books I'm writing now both just ended in a sad way with the last updated chapter. 😂❤

Give me purples hearts cause you love me. 💜💜
