The security opened the gates for me and I can't even see where I'm going because of the tears in my eyes.

Where am I gonna go?

What am I gonna do?

Out of the distance, I saw Jake's car parked.

He opened the door and looked at me with concern.

He got out of the car and ran to me and hugged me tight.

"He doesn't want me anymore" I cried.

"I'm sorry" Jake whispered.

Dwight and Ashleigh looked at me with concern as they walked towards me to comfort me.

"I'm gonna punch an old guy" Dwight frowned.

"He disowned me because I'm gay" I took a deep breath as Jake and I pulled apart.

"What?! That's fucking bullshit!" Jake raised his voice in anger.

"You guys stayed?" I looked at them, my cold heart slowly melting.

"We just wanna make sure you're gonna be okay" Ashleigh smiled at me.

"Why?"

"We look out for each other remember? You looked out for me now it's my turn" Ashleigh patted my shoulder.

"You looked out for me too" Jake smiled.

"Me too" Dwight tried to smile.

I looked at them and can't help but feel ashamed.

I am such a failure.

"It's getting dark" Jake sighed.

"Yeah... We should get going" Dwight looked around with concern.

We got inside the car and Jake started to drive.

I never thought I would find a friend in this school but I'm still not gonna lay my guard down.

You know... The thing about friendship is that the closer you get the deeper the stab in the back.

And I would rather be holding the knife than receive it's sharp betrayal.

You can't really trust people these days.

Even your family are not so innocent.

"So, I can't afford to drive for another five hours anymore... We need a place to rest" Jake sighed.

"I can book us a room" Ashleigh sighed.

"Nice... Please do one room with four beds or two rooms with two beds" I suggested.

"Okay, so who are sleeping each room?" Dwight asked

"I will be with Ashleigh... Boys will stay with boys" I smiled proudly.

"You're a boy too" Dwight teased.

"Yeah? Well I'm a fag so deal with it" I rolled my eyes.

"Well... Jake is gay too" Dwight teased again.

"I'm bisexual" Jake frowned.

"Still... How do I know that he won't touch me?" Dwight smirked.

"Dwight... You fucked me remember?!" I glared at him feeling so annoyed.

"Exactly! I can't resist both of you! You're both hot" Dwight joked which to be honest made us all laugh.

"Wow... So I'm the only person who is not queer?" Ashleigh asked.

"Uh babe... Don't forget... I swing both ways" Dwight winked at her.

"Me too" Jake joked which made me playfully hit him in the shoulder.
