Snake Eyes [boyxboy]

Snake Eyes {28}

                Something hit me again and I gasped in pain. I spun around and my eyes widened in terror at what they saw.

                Joey and Glen grinned, standing next to one of the park trees. Both were holding rocks in their hands. Joey pointed at me, his grin getting wider.

                “We’ll beat the gay right out of you, faggot,” he said and he and Glen advanced at me.

                I got up and stumbled backwards, my heart slamming. No. There’s no way they would actually pelt me with rocks. They would throw one or two just to scare me.

                Glen whipped one at me and I cried out in pain as it struck my arm. Joey threw one and I yelped as it hit my knee.

                Realizing that they weren’t kidding around here, I turned and took off sprinting. I had to get out of the park. I had to at least get to the main road, where maybe someone would stop to help me.

                I felt myself being tackled to the ground, and then Joey was standing up and kicking me. He and Glen began to hit me with rocks, screaming things like “faggot” “cock sucker” “fucking homo”.

                “GET OFF OF HIM!”

                Maxx’s voice penetrated my ears, but it didn’t matter. The only voices I heard were those of Joey and Glen. Their words swam around my head as the pain rocked my body from their blows.

                I heard the sounds of fighting and yelling, but I didn’t open my eyes. I didn’t pull my hands away from my face. It was a trick. I would uncurl my body, and then Maxx would attack me as well.

                “Mark!” Maxx’s frantically concerned voice broke through my thoughts now. “Mark, are you okay?”

                I felt hands on me and I whimpered. They instantly pulled away from my body. I curled up tighter, shaking violently.

                “Mark, it’s me. Please calm down. I got rid of those fuckers. How bad are you hurt?” Maxx asked, trying to keep the panic and fear out of his voice.

                I slowly pulled my hands away from my face and looked up at Maxx. I bit my lip and felt tears coming to my eyes.

                Maxx helped me up and hugged me tightly as I tried to get under control. I buried my head against his chest.

                “Why do they have to do that? Why is being gay so bad? Why do they have to do that to me?” I cried, furious , hurt, and terrified.

                “I don’t know Mark. I don’t know why they do that to you. It’s fucked up. There’s nothing wrong with being gay. They have no right to hurt you like this,” Maxx said.

                I looked into his eyes, seeing only love and concern. “You’re okay?” he asked softly.

                “Mentally, emotionally, and physically bruised, but otherwise okay,” I said bitterly.

                Maxx moved as if to kiss me, but quickly stopped himself. He slowly released me and we stood up together.

                “What are you doing here anyways?” I asked, not meeting his eyes anymore.

                “I’m on my way to drop something off to my mom’s friend. There’s a shortcut through the park,” Maxx explained, showing me the string bag he had on his bag.

                “Mark!”

                Shaw and Nick hurried over to me. “Mark, what happened to you? Why are you bleeding?” Shaw asked in fear. He turned to Maxx. “Did you hurt him?” he demanded, fury flashing into his eyes.

                “No! It was Joey and Glen. Maxx…well, Maxx made them go away,” I said quickly, not exactly sure what Maxx had done to them.

                “I’m pretty sure I broke Glen’s nose. And I cut Joey’s forehead with a rock,” Maxx said, keeping his voice as calm as possible under Shaw’s hateful glare.

                “I’m sorry we weren’t here Mark! I was already on my way to pick up Nick…and then I got talking to his mom…” Shaw miserably dropped his head.

                “Shaw, it’s okay. You didn’t know. I shouldn’t have come here by myself. Joey lives around here,” I said, feeling stupid for just remembering that fact.

                “Well, I’ll leave you alone,” Maxx said.

                “Maxx, find me in lunch tomorrow. We need to talk,” I said, keeping my voice low so that Shaw and Nick wouldn’t hear me.

                Maxx looked surprised, but nodded at me quickly. He turned and walked off, disappearing onto a path that led out of the park.

                “You’re really all right Mark? You looked awful banged up,” Nick said with a frown.

                “I’m fine,” I said with a shrug, despite the pain I still felt. My thoughts were on Maxx now. Was I making the right decision? Should I…Should I really get back together with him?
