Owen hummed to himself and drove home. He opened the door to be greeted by his mother. "Hey Owen, dinner is ready." Owen smiled and went up to his room. He waved to his two sisters and walked into his room. He flopped on the king sized bed and felt his phone buzz. Owen smiled and texted the person back.
They were called down for dinner and Owen stood up. "I- I have an announcement." He said quietly and his father nodded. "Go ahead."
"I'm gay." Owen said and his parents expressions turned from loving to hating in a split second. "No son of mine is- is a fag." His mother spit and stood up. "Come with me." His father snarled and grabbed his wrist. Mara ran upstairs, bringing Lucy with her. His father punched him in the jaw as his mother watched.
Owen tried to fight back but his father pummeled him to the ground. Owen faded in and out as he tried to stand up. His father smirked as him laying on the ground, helpless. Owen tried to yell for help but no one came. He tried to back away as a fuzzy figure came in front of him. The girl came into view and she frowned. He shuddered and heard someone yelling.
He woke up and blinked. It was Ravi. His tanned body was yelling at whoever was in the room. Owen coughed and Ravi turned to him. "Owen. I- I tried to get to you but then-" He stopped, tears falling. Owen grabbed his hand and pulled him closer. "You have a couple broken ribs and your nose was broken. Owen.. you could have died." He whispered and Owen just nodded.
Ravi wiped his eyes. "I have to go to school. I'll be back." Owen smiled and kissed his hand before letting it go. Ravi left and his sister came in. "Oh thank god you are awake. Mom and dad are in custody. Our uncle is taking care of us." Mara says, holding Lucy's hand.
He went in and out for a few weeks while he was taken care of. Ravi sighed and stared at Owen. Owen just smiled in response and kissed him. "Love you." He said softly and left. Ravi sat on the steps and watched as Owen was taken away to UCLA.
