It's been a week since the incident with my father happened. I haven't left my room and I even forgot how the sunlight felt against my skin. I haven't mentioned a word to my mother or my sister because it wouldn't help the fact that because I began speaking my father hates me. It's all my fault. I should have never come out gay to them.

I took in a deep breath and sighed feeling my eyes burn up. They were stuck on the dark blue ceiling above me. My breath hitched as a droplet of blood appeared on it. I blinked and rubbed my eyes before looking down.

Oh, what a bad idea that was.

As soon as my eyes landed on the walls, it looked like a murder took place here. The sound of my mother's voice echoed in my ears.

-flashback-

"Keith! Are you ok?! What's going on?!"

I leaned against the wall holding onto my stomach as the thick, warm substance tickled my fragile body.

"Keith, open the door! Baby, please!" She yelled again. I screamed and fell hard against the carpet as tears fell from my eyes. Suddenly, it was dead silent and my breathing became heavy. I couldn't stand anymore. I couldn't think straight. The only thing running through my mind was the father figure I looked up too.

'I am not going to raise a faggot in this house!' His words echoed in my head.

"Keith!" 

Leave me alone...

"Keith, open this fucking door right now!"

L-leave me alone...

"KEITH!"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!!" 

Just then, the door flew open and the next thing I knew I passed out.

-end of flashback-

"Keith." A voice spoke. I snapped out of my thoughts, breathing heavily whilst my heart raced quickly. I looked over at the door before getting up and walking over to it. I opened the door to see my little sister staring up at me.

"What do you want?" I asked Chloe. She frowned and walked passed me.

"Well, come on in won't you," I mumbled and shut the door before walking towards my bed.

"Why won't you come outside?" She asked, ignoring my comment. There was a big frown plastered on her face. She looked broken, almost the way she looked when I came out gay to dad.

"I don't know," I replied causing her to roll her eyes.

"I miss you.... a lot." She mumbled, her voice breaking at the end of her sentence. My heart shattered at the sight of her. I bit my lip as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Gosh, I'm sorry," I uttered and pulled her into a hug as I felt tears prick my eyes.

"I'm sorry," I repeated and held her tight as she wrapped her arms around my waist.

"Please, come outside. Mom's been really distant ever since you locked yourself in this room, " She said and pulled away. I gave her a watery smile and pecked her cheek before getting up. She got up as well and walked over to the door. She opened it before walking out. I went out of the door before walking down the stairs but stopped when I heard voices coming from the kitchen.

"How's he doing?" An unknown voice said before a shuffling sound was heard.

"Who?" A familiar voice asked.

Mom.

Were they talking about me?

"Keith." The masculine voice replied. Wow, lovely.

"Oh... I don't know. He locked himself in his room after the incident happened, " Mom replied, her voice getting soft.

"I'm sorry that happened, and I'm especially sorry about my wife." 

Mr. St.Marie?

"It's ok, Chester. We didn't expect that to happen, but, maybe next time everything will be great." Came from my mother.

"Mom," I muttered as I walked into the kitchen. Her eyes landed on me and they grew wide before she ran over to me and pulled me into a hug.

"Are you ok?" She asked and looked at me with so much sadness in her eyes that it made me feel bad for leaving her in the house alone even when I was in the house myself.

"Yeah, I am," I replied and smiled. She smiled back as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Great, " She uttered and pecked my cheek before pulling away. I looked over at Mr. St.Marie and nodded. He nodded back and raised his hand in a 'hi' gesture.

"I'm going out for a walk. Can I bring Chloe?" I asked. She nodded quickly before going over to the kitchen again.

"Chloe, get down here! We're going for a walk!" I shouted and looked over at the stairs.

"I don't wanna go!" She yelled back. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.

"You're coming whether you like it or not, young lady," I said. I heard a groan followed by heavy footsteps coming my way before Chloe showed up with a scowl on her face.

"Fine, " She muttered and walked passed me before walking out of the house.

"You coming or not?" She asked and looked back. I chuckled before saying goodbye to mom and waved at Mr. St.Marie. I walked out of the door before shutting it. We then began to walk down the street just looking around, not uttering a word to each other.

"Mom mentioned that this guy from your school came over to dinner last week. Who is he?" Chloe asked breaking the silence. I shook my head, not really wanting to go into this conversation.

"Awe, come on. Tell me about him." She practically begged and smiled up at me with her hands in her pocket. I smiled and looked up at the sky trying to figure out a way to describe Alex.

"Well, for one. He has green eyes-"

"Dive deeper. I know he has green eyes, " She cut me off and rolled her eyes. I laughed and looked at her.

"For all you know, he could have blue eyes," I replied and raised an eyebrow at her in amusement.

"Yeah, yeah. Continue, " She said, her smile never leaving her face.

"He's 17. He's in almost all my classes and he's one of the sexiest boys in the school." I said and daydreamed about Alex's face.

"Does he know that you're gay?" She asked. I nodded and frowned.

"Why the frown?" She asked. I raised an eyebrow at her in confusion.

"Why, all of a sudden, you wanna know about who I like?" I asked. She just shrugged.

"What? So I can't be curious?" She asked and smirked.

"No," I replied. She rolled her eyes.

"How does he look?" She asked. We then turned the corner getting freakishly close to Alex's area.

"Uhh, sharp jaw, tanned skin, very muscular, has blonde hair, rosy red lips and the largest bubble butt ever, " I explained, my mind tracing over every detail.

"Is that him?" She asked and pointed at someone in front of us. I looked over at where she was pointing at to see Alex, without a shirt, washing, I assume to be his father's vehicle.

"Oh God," I mumbled and stopped walking before staring at him.

"Take a picture, will you?" She mumbled and poked me.

"Wanna play a game?" She asked snapping me out of my thoughts, a devious smirk displaying on her lips.

"What game?" I asked and looked at her suspiciously. Her smirk grew and she tapped my shoulder before running away.

"Tag, you're it!" She yelled.

"How old are you?!" I yelled but chased after her. Halfway through the street, next to Alex's house, she stopped causing me to lose balance and trip over my own foot.

She burst into a fit of laughter and started running again. I groaned before quickly getting up and chasing after her.

"God, Chloe! Slow the fuck down!" I yelled, not once my smile leaving my face. She ran behind a huge tree causing me to slow down and roll my eyes.

"Really?" I mumbled underneath my breath and stopped in front of the tree. I felt like someone was burning a hole into my head causing me to look back to see Alex staring at me with his jaw ajar. My cheeks flushed red as I averted my eyes.

"Yow, fairy!" A voice called out from above me. I frowned and looked up to see Chloe looking down at me with a smile whilst she sat on a branch, swinging her legs.

I facepalmed before backing away from the tree.

"Chloe, get down from there," I demanded. She pouted but shrugged and came down the tree.

"Someone's staring, " She said and smirked before looking behind me. I clenched my teeth before looking back at Alex. He was still watching me and to be honest, it kinda scared me. I turned to face Chloe before sighing.

"We should keep walking, " I mentioned for her to start but she just stood there watching him.

"Chloe, I'm serious. Let's go." I demanded but her eyes never left his.

"Chloe Maria-"

"He's coming over, " She said cutting me off. My eyes widened and I glanced over my shoulder to see him actually walking over to us.

"You little brat! You did that on purpose, didn't you!" I yelled and clenched my teeth. She smiled and shrugged before walking away.

"Where are you-"

"Hey, Keith."
