Chapter 2
Pic is Alex:
So, there's a scene in here that may be a trigger for some people, and if it does, I'm sorry, I just started writing and then I couldn't stop myself, but I put a warning before it, feel free to skip it and go to the thing that says *TRIGGER OVER*
Alex's POV:
It's the last period of the day and I've been teasing Riley all day. I look over at him. "Hey, wanna come over after school?" I ask. He looks up at me with wide eyes.
"Really? You um, you want me to come over?" He scratches the back of his neck.
"Yeah. You're cool, and hot. Why wouldn't I?" I laugh as he blushes.
"Alex, I'm straight. Stop flirting with me." He looks at the ground blushing insanely. I just laugh.
"So, yes or no?"
"Sure." He nods his head enthusiastically. I smile. He's so cute, I just wanna kiss him right now.
The bell rings, signaling the end of the day. I quickly stand up and head towards the door, dragging Riley behind me. We get to the house rather quickly. I look around, it seems like we're alone. I guess mom had to take Lilly to the hospital again... I start to cry. I don't want her to die. She's too young.
"Hey, you ok?" Riley asks. I shake my head and wrap my arms around him. The tears just flow. It seems like they have no end. "What's wrong?" He asks wrapping his arms around me, softly rubbing my back.
"My... My sister... She's... She's gonna die..." I manage to say between sobs. He freezes for a second before continuing comforting me.
"Shh, it's ok baby. Just relax." He whispers in my ear. Baby, he called me baby. I don't even think he realized what he said. I pull away.
"You... You called me baby." I say catching my breath.
"I know." He pulls me back into the hug. "I know baby. I meant to."
His hugs are warm and he smells like vanilla. I want this moment to last forever, but unfortunately, mom walks through the door, absolutely hammered. She didn't even stay with Lilly, she just had to go out and get drunk.
*POSSIBLE TRIGGER WARNING*
"Ew you faggot, why are you in my house? I thought I told you, you're not welcome here. You're the reason your father left and your sister is dying. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!!" She screams, her words slurring, and slaps me in the face. She didn't even care that someone was there to witness it. Riley's eyes widen. "Come on, you're gonna be my toy for now." She grabs me by the hair and starts to drag me upstairs to her room. Not again.
"Mom, please, let go. You don't wanna do this. I'm sorry, please just don't make me do it again. I don't want to. Please?" I start to cry. I should've thought about the possibility of this happening before I invited Riley over. He just stands there shocked, he doesn't know what to do, it's fine though. I wouldn't either.
"DO WHAT I SAY!!!" Mom pushes me against the wall and places her lips to mine. She was my first kiss, it happened just like this. It wasn't with my first boyfriend, it was with the woman who gave birth to me. I'm absolutely disgusted with her. I mean, what kind of mother would do this to her own child?
"Mom, my friend's here, please don't make him watch this. I'll do it later. Just don't make him stay here when I do." I try so hard to get to her but it just made it worse.
"Ooh, you have a friend. Well he can join us then." She laughs wickedly. Riley looks horrified.
"No, mom you're not going to touch him. He's not your toy, hell, I'm not even your toy. Get someone else to do this with you." I manage to break free and run down the stairs, grabbing Riley's hand and pulling him out of the house. We don't stop running until we get to a small park I go to all the time.
*TRIGGER OVER*
"So, you got to meet my mom..." I start but he cuts me off.
"Does she always do that? Has she always done that to you?" He looks like he's about to cry.
"She started after dad left to be with someone else and my sister was diagnosed with leukemia. She does that almost every time she comes home drunk and catches me out of my room. Usually I can avoid it." I put my hand on his shoulder. "You ok?"
He shakes his head. "That reminded me of the night my uncle came into my room and beat me really badly..." His voice cracks.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry Riley." I pull him into a hug, "if you don't wanna hang out with me again, I'll get it."
"No, it's fine. I just can't believe your mom would do that to you." He looks up at me with his beautiful big brown doe eyes and I can't help it. I lean in and capture his perfect lips in a kiss.
