Fragile Future *shadowpook and I*

"Yeah, your a really popular kid ho's always got the right clotes and the right hair and the right fucking ideas, so much like the emo faggot" aid Shayne.

"I like iron maiden, there my favourite band. I love heavey metal. i would wear eye liner every day and skinnies if i could. i hate track suits nad i have no fucking idea what footballs all about. ANd i'm..." he bit his lip

SHayne looked up "You're what?"

Garth took a deep breath. "I'm gay okay?"

Shayne looked at him "Ho long ave you known?"

Garth laugehd lightly. "Before i even lost my virginity. But i denied it. Why do you think i had sex with so many girls? i thought i could convince myself i found tits sexy. they're just blobs of fat."

"And you let me et o much shit for it. You know my life for he past month and a half would have been bearable if I had just had ONE person stand by me, even Mikey turned his back on me"

"I'm so sorry. I knew, taht if i showed what i was then i woudl get teh same shit you do. I know like two other gays at school, taht think your so cool.They just cant coem out. tehre to scared."

"I don;t feel 'cool' for coming out, I feel like a goddamn moron" Said SHayne "I get beaten up every fucking day, I got my boyfriend STABBED and Johs ick stuck down my throat because apparently I enjoy sexual abue no" said Shayne, bringin hi knees up to his chest and burid his face in them to avoid crying.

"I want to come out. Hell, i'd go home and get changed into skinnies an iron maiden t-shirt vans and put on eye liner rigth now if i knew i would have some allies through this."

"You'd have me, I kno it' not much but, well, I'd kill to have some support right now"

Garth smiled weakly. "Sorry mate, but your not much of a support pillar. I need more people."

Shayne shrugged "You don;t know ho much one person can be until you've been completely alone, there as a point when I thought even Ray hated me, you have no idea how shitty that feels"

Garth looked at him wearily.

"I better get to school" muttered Shayne, standin up reluctantly "More punches, such fun"

"Dont go to school. COme to my house. Please?"

SHayne miled lightly "Anythings better than there" he said "But I'll have to leave exactly when shcool finishes, since mom thinks that's where I am"

Garth nodded

Shayne ouched his split lip gingerly, feeling the blood spilled oer his face.

"Come on. I supposed you want to wash your mouth out?"

"Please, I can still taste that bastard" shuddered Shayne "Now I know How lilly feel" he said, the words spilling out of his mouth before he thought.

"lilly?"

"My sister" mumbled Shayne "She was raped on friday, spent the whole weekend crying and throing up, it' horrible"

Garth looked odwn. "I'm so sorry." muttered Garth, leading teh way to his house

Shayne sigehd and followed, even after their talk he couldn; help being urpried by Garths room "How do you explain this when peeps from chool come over?"
