Chapter 28
Eli’s pov
“Hey dad.” I said uncomfortably sitting up, ignoring the ache I was already feeling from carter leaving and the pain from my burns.
“So I guess I’m gonna be straightforward about this,” he sighed, talking instantly, “But what the hell were you doing last night? Why were you driving in the middle of the night?” He asked, the worry in his voice actually surprised me. There was baggs under his eyes and his hair was messy so I could tell he had been up stressing out. I could honestly see the sincerity in his eyes… did he…. Did he care about me?
I never thought my dad actually loved me but now… I guess people seem to notice you more when you get hurt.
When I didn’t verbally answer, he kept going.
“I guess it doesn’t matter now, but please don’t ever do it again.” He begged. I nodded gulping.
“And, since you did sneak out, your mom wanted to ground you but I told her a car crash was punishment enough.” He said light heartedly and i laughed.
“Thanks dad.” I laughed.
We were quiet for a while.
“Do you love me dad?” I whispered barely audible, cutting the silence.
I looked up and saw him chuckling.
“Of course I love you, you’re my son.” He chuckled and ruffled my hair standing up. I smiled as joy filled my body.
He started to walk
Out but stopped at the door way. “Oh by the way, why was that queer from your school here?” His words stung in my core. He said queer as such a negative term it made me mad and hurt at the same time.
“Don’t know.” I mumbled look down praying to God that he hadn’t seen the pools of water that were in my eyes.
He must not have seen because he walked out.
I looked down at my arms, running my fingers over one of my bandages.
If I didn’t tell my dad I was gay, he would never have to be disgusted by his only son, but I would never be truly honest with myself and never be completely happy.
If I did he would hate me. But at least I could show off the boy I loved.
And if I came out at school, Kyle would tell his parents no doubt, and they would tell my parents. I didn’t want them to find out that way.
I guess I didn’t have to necessarily worry about that now. But I would eventually.
I guess now I just had to focus on the adorable boy walking in the room.
“Hey Carter.”
Chapter 28
Carters pov
“Hey Eli.” I blushed and grinned walking over to him, sitting down.
“Actually I wouldn’t get too comfortable.” He smirked throwing my thin blankets off of me. He winced as He moved his arm, I felt so bad that he got hurt because of me.
He was still wearing pajama pants that they let him wear and a t-shirt so He didn’t have to worry about a hospital gown.
“Umm Eli I don’t think your supposed to get out of bed yet.” I worriedly said standing up.
He stood up and grabbed my hand pulling him out of the room, thank god his dad had left.
“Eli you might hurt yourself.” I said with anxiety lacing his voice. Yet I let him drag my down the hallway.
“Don’t worry about me.” He replied shrugging it off.
“No, you have to go back they don’t want you to leave your bed.” I begged as I looked at the bandages on his arm.
“I have a few little burns it’s fine.” He replied.
“No you have a concussion and multiple burns from a car wreck so please just go bac-” I couldn’t exactly finish my sentence because next thing I knew he had turned around, pulled me close by my hips and crashes his lips on mine.
I breathlessly kissed back but almost as soon as the kiss had begun it ended.
He pulled away smirking.
“I. Will. Be. Fine.” He assured me and kissed my forehead.
“Alright, fine.” I gave in. “But only for a while.” I scolded.
We started walking again,my heart was starting to all down from the kiss but he wasn’t helping Much holding my hand.
“Where are we even going?” I asked.
“The cafeteria. Duh.” He said rolling his eyes. Of course.
“Your a dork.” I mumbled adoringly and noticed the blush in his cheeks.
He was slowly becoming my world and I loved him but that scared me.
