Seth

“Um I don’t know. I’m not really sure about all this and I’m kind of in a lot of pain.” I said flinching as I moved my arm as she fabric scraped across my back

“Yeah those look really bad. I’ll get some disinfectant and a bandage wrap.” He said getting up off the couch.

All of a sudden my phone started ringing and I didn’t want to pick up because it was my mom but I knew if I didn’t she would be really pissed.

“Hello?” I said quietly

“Where the hell have you been?! You just fucking leave everyone?! Why?! Huh, why do you think such a disgusting kid would have the right to leave?! You dumb piece of shit! Answer me!” She screamed. It hurt me every time she yelled at me. She was supposed to be my mom, but she really hasn’t been one since I was born. I’ve always put her needs before mine but isn’t a mother supposed to do that for their own child?

“James let me move out mom.” I said calmly. I could never bring myself to yell at her. I always treated her like a mother even though she didn’t treat me like her son. Tears threatened to fall as she continued her tantrum.

“Like hell James did! He isn’t your biological father! You don’t have the right to listen to him you ungrateful child! Do you know what I have done so that you can be happy?!” She yelled. All I could do was silently cry. Then Ryan just had to yell something and that really set her off.

“YOU DUMB PIECE OF SHIT! SO YOU THINK AS SOON AS YOU LEAVE YOU CAN GO AND ACT ON YOUR ABOMINABLE GAYNESS?! IF YOU DON’T LEAVE RIGHT NOW I WILL FIND YOU AND KILL YOU AND YOUR ABOMINABLE BOYFRIEND!!!!” She basically spit at me through the phone.

“No mom I won’t leave because he isn’t my boyfriend and James was always more of parent than you ever were!” I half yelled at her and hung up.

I could no longer hold my self up and fell to the ground. I heard Ryan running across the floor to me. Thoughts were running through my head so fast I could barely even comprehend them. My mother threatened to kill me and Ryan. Being Gay was fine. My mother hated me. What was I going to do? What if she really did find me and kill me?

“Seth? Seth!? Can you hear me? Seth?” I could hear him saying but it was kind of cloudy.

“I’m fine…” Was all I could say before I passed out from the pain and the exhaustion from talking to my mother.
