yanked from religion to love

unfortunate timing.. (Lance)

WARNING: slurs and some strong language.

I was thinking about George, my best friend and crush! he is a lovely friend, he's kind, comforting and always there when needed. my 'friend group' are all jerks unlike him, ever since they found out I was in love with him.. 

"hey, what are you thinking about?" Beth asks me, she is a mop and the one who hates me the most.

"uhh- nothing! nothing.." I hesitate to say, I swear if I did say his name she would snitch on me so quickly to him, god, I dunno what I would do if that ever happened..

"I know your thinking about boys you fag.." Beth whispers in my ear making me freeze in fear.

"now you may want to straighten up this mind of yours, because being gay can't easily be forgiven.." Beth says to me as I just stare at her in fear.

"it's not my fault I don't find you attractive.." I mutter under my voice as I quickly regret what I said

Beth get's threateningly close to my face and asks me "what did you say, faggot?"

"it's not my fault I don't find you attractive, it's YOUR FAULT!" I speak as my mind begins swirling around with anger.

"OH THAT'S IT!" Beth screams at me before punching me, I knew she was a hard hitter and could hurt someone in a severe depth.

as I am on the floor Beth gets on top of me and tries to punch me again until George showed up.

"hey, HEY! why are you two fighting??" George asks us with concern.

"no, no we were rough housing!" Beth says trying to dismiss it.

"well why does Lance have a black eye?" he asks Beth as I start to touch the area she punched me.

"WELL.. UHMM HE MUST HAVE FELL!! yeah that's it." Beth almost screams as she soon gives me the death stare then shortly leaves.

"hey, are you ok, bro?" George asks me helping me up from the ground.

"ah, I'm not quite sure.." I say rubbing the wound.

"well, do you want to patch that up?" Gorge asks me

"yeah,, that would be nice.." I reply while we walk to the nurses office.

we walk as my stomach starts getting butterflies and without thinking twice I grab George's hand.

"hm?. Does this make you feel comfortable?" George asks me

"yeah.." I answer almost sounding guilty.

"hey, no need to be guilty, this is nice.." George says as he arranges our hands to make it more comfortable.

I gaze at him as we are walking but quickly turn my attention away not to get weird stares.

we arrive at the nurses office and we both go inside.

"OH good heavens! what happened to you Lance?" the nurse asks me with concern.

"I got punched by Beth." I say while I feel George's hand slipping away from mine.

"oh, i'll get that wrapped up real quick! you have to be the one to report the incident to a staff member, unless it's unsafe otherwise.." the nurse says to me as she goes to get some bandages

"i might get punched by her again if I do tell so.. is it fine if you report it?" I suggest to the nurse as she silently complies.

she wraps the left side of my head with the bandages, it was not quick but George stayed all of that time, watching.
