Chapter 14

(Daniel)

Damn, why was he crying now? Did I say something wrong? Seeing him cry was horrible. He just let it all out and I didn't know what I should do.

It was like a little puppy cried.

James was very fragile and so I just had to pull him in my arms.

"Shhhhh, James..."

He leant back and sobbed one last time.

"Sorry for that..."

"James, it's okay. But do you accept my apologise?"

"Daniel, I was never mad at you. I'm called a faggot all the time. I am called a faggot by my own father. That word doesn't hurt anymore. And the thing with my mum you couldn't know."

"But why do people always talk bad about you?"

"Ask them, not me. I'm just illegal in their eyes. I'm a sin, the devil in person."

"That's not true and you know it."

"What? That they say it or that I am it?"

"That you are a sin. You're a normal person."

"Tell them."

He laid down on the blanket and stared at the ceiling.

"Why did you come here?"

"Why? Because I have nobody."

"And why me? I wasn't nice to you, either."

"But you are new here. And I had the little hope that you're not homophobic."

"You were right at that point."

"Thanks god. And I can't thank you and your family enough."

"That's nothing, James."

It knocked on the door and my dad walked in.

"Liz told me about you" Tim said.

He sat down.

"Let me have a look at your knee. It's just your knee, isn't it?"

"I wish. It's like my whole leg. My thigh isn't okay, my knee is shit at all."

"Left one?"

I nodded.

He laid his hand on my knee and squeezed it a bit.

I almost screamed in pain.

"That hurts?"

I nodded.

"What about here?"

He squeezed another part.

"Ahh, yes!"

"Okay, I'll take you with me to the hospital tomorrow morning to take x-rays and stuff."

"But I can't pay it..."

"That's when Liz comes in it."

I didn't understand.

"My mum has a charity for people who need medical help, but don't have enough money" Daniel explained.

"Oh wow, thank you..."

Tim smiled and left.

"James, I'm sure my dad can fix it."

I looked at him. I just hoped so.
