Chapter 12

“Max and Zach! Time to get up!” Yelled Cheryl. I sighed and turned over. Zach Turns over against me and put his hand over me. “Come on let’s go.” Demanded Cheryl. I start to get up and Zach pulls me back down. “We have to get up.” I said and he kissed me. “Fine.” He responded. I get up and head into the bathroom. Hopefully today is a better day. I thought while brushing my teeth. Zach comes in and starts brushing his teeth too. “This bathroom is occupied.” I laughed. “Not anymore.” He smiled. “Do you want to go to a movie tonight?” He asked. “Yeah, let’s do it.” I said and smiled. “Oh…well we can do it too.” Zach responds while laughing. “Not what I meant.” I smiled. I finish up in the bathroom and head into the room to change my clothes. “I don’t feel like going to school today.” Said Zach. He says while grabbing onto my waist. “Me neither but we have too.” I responded. I hold onto his arm. He lets go and we grab our stuff and head downstairs to sit at the table. “Don’t forget about our meeting this morning Max.” Said Cheryl. “I won’t.” I responded. “Let’s go.” Said Zach. I nodded my head and we grabbed our stuff and head out to the car. “What movie are we going to see?” I asked. “That’s for you to find out.” He laughed. “How do you know what movies I like?” I asked. “Well, you’re a boring person so boring movies.” He winked. “Is it a scary movie?” I asked. “Yes.” He smiled. “I know what it is then.” I smiled back. “What is it?” He asked. “That is for you to find out when I act surprised.” I started to laugh. Oh that’s just rude. He said. I know. I smiled. We make it to the school and head inside. Zach walks over to my locker with me. “I’ll see you second period ok?” He said and kissed me. He walks away. “Hey fag, how you doing?” Asked Andrew and Alyssa. “What do you want?” I asked. “What we want is for you to leave this town. I mean no one likes gays here. Go somewhere where there are plenty of them.” Demanded Alyssa. “Well sorry, I’m not leaving. If you want me to leave, you are going to have to kill me first. And that is so unlikely. So if you don’t mind, I have to go.” I pointed out. “We will do what ever it takes queer.” Said Andrew. I shut my locker and head down to Cheryl’s office. “Hey sweetie. Just sit down I’ll be with you in a sec.” She says. I sit down and wait until she gets off of the phone. “Ok, so how are you.” She asks while hanging up the phone. “I’m good.” I responded. “Are you really? Or are you just saying that?” She asked again. “I’m fine. Believe it or not. I am.” I responded. “Good. How are you and Zach doing?” “We are doing well.” I smiled. “You changed him. He is like a totally different person. I guess you brought out the best in him.” She smiled back. “He said he loved me last night.” I say awkwardly. “Really? He doesn’t even say that to his parents.” She starts to laugh. I smile. “I can tell you like him. You've changed to.” She said. “Really?” I ask. “Yes, you became such a different person. You actually stick up for yourself now.” She responds. “Can you submit my application to North Carolina?” I asked. Cheryl smiles big. “What made you change your mind?” She asked. “Zach kind of talked me into it.” I responded. “He’s good talking people into something.” She frowns. “I’ll submit that right now.” She added. “You already filled it out?” I asked. “Yeah, I was just waiting for your approval.” “You and Zach are so much alike.” I started to laugh. “Are you ever going to see your dad?” She asked. “I doubt it. I don’t even want to talk to him nor see him. He has done things that are unbelievable. That I can’t even wrap my head around. He killed my grandparents. He is crazy. And the most important thing is he doesn’t care about me or Cassie. Probably not mom either.” I pointed out. “The only way you are going to cope with your anger is to talk to your father. He is sober now. It’s been two days so I bet it is out of his system. Go tomorrow if you like. Because I know you and Zach has plans for tonight so tomorrow, you need to go talk. That’s the only way. Face your problems then you’ll be happy that you did.” She demands. “Well, I’m not ready yet. I mean I’ll think about it but it’s no guarantee.” I respond. “Think hard about it. You need to do this Max.” She says. “Ok. I’ll think hard about it.” I frown sarcastically. The bell rings and I grab my stuff. “Have a good day.” She says. I walk out and head to trig. People are still staring. They act like I have killed someone. I just rolled my eyes and walked into the class and sit down. I seriously hate math so much. I don’t know how I have passed all these years. This is the only class I suck at. Which is hard to see but I suck at it. “Is everything ok?” Asked Zach. “Yeah. I’m good.” I responded. “No you are not. Come with me.” He grabs my hand and pulls me out of the class. “Where are we going?” I asked loudly. He ignores me and we walk into the locker room. “What are we doing?” I asked again. “Now, tell me what’s wrong.” He demanded. “Nothing is wrong.” I said again. “I know when something is bothering you.” He responded. I sighed. “Fine, truth is I have to go see my dad and talk to him but I don’t know if I can. Because all of those years of suffering and trying to protect my sister I just want to kill him. He lied to me, he beat me, he has done things that are so unbearable that you couldn’t imagine….. I start to cry… But if it takes talking to him to get my anger out then I have too. But I can’t stand to look at him. I just can’t deal with seeing him. I don’t see him as my father. A father wouldn’t do that. All I wanted was him to stop but he never did. He kept drinking and drinking and drinking more and more every single day. Morning and night. You know, some nights I cry myself to sleep? Some nights I didn’t sleep at all. Some days I didn’t go to school because I was too sore to get up from getting beat. Some days I stay up for three days straight. Sometimes I thought about giving up. But then I thought, what was the point? Why should I go? I had to protect my sister, I had a future to live, a family to have, a husband, a house in the city, a dog, if I would have killed myself I would never have none of that. There were some days that I tried to kill myself. But it didn’t work. I guess it wasn’t my time. He put me through hell and back. I just don’t know if I can go and face him.” I said. Zach starts to get tears in his eyes. “Babe, the only way to face your anger and get it all out is to go see him. If you don’t you are just going to break down again and end up hurting your self and I can’t loose you. I know your dad put you through hell but you have to face him. Tell him what he did to you, your sister and your mother. Tell him and get it through his head and make him feel sorry. He is going to pay for what he did. That’s why he is in jail. He is paying for what he did to you. If you need me to come with you then I will. If you want to go alone that is ok too.” He says and grabs my hand. “Max, I love you and I can’t see you to hurt. If someone hurts you they are going to pay for it. It just happens your father is in jail so I can’t do that.” He added. I wiped my tears off of my face. “God! See what you are dating? You are dating an emotional roller coaster.” I say and wipe my tears again. He reaches his hands over and turns my face over to his. He starts to kiss me. Then my tears fade away. “I love you. Even if you cry. And to be honest you are an ugly crier.” He smiled.  “Shut up.” I laughed and shove his shoulder. He holds my face into his palms and uses his thumbs to wipe the rest of my tears. “You are really an ugly crier.” He started to laugh. “Stop!” I said. “Are we going to stay in here for the rest of second period?” I asked. “Well yeah, once you skip you can’t go back and walk in and say “Hi sorry but we skipped but we decided to come back”. He started to laugh. I look down and see that we have twenty minutes left until second period ends. “What are we going to do for the rest of……?” I start to say and he kisses me. “Well that answers my question.” I mumble while kissing him. He starts to laugh. We’ve made out for seven minutes straight then we hear the door open. Then the sound of heels starts clicking. “What are you guys doing in here?” Asked Cheryl. I and Zach look at each other. “Something was bothering him mom. So I went somewhere private and so we can talk.” Zach responded. “Like what?” She asked and crossed her arms. “About my dad and about going to see him tomorrow.” I reply before Zach opens his mouth. “Alright, but I’m not saving your butts next time so stay here until the bell rings then head to your third period. Ok?” She asked. “Go it mom.” Zach replies. She walks out and I and Zach start to laugh. “You know one day she is going to catch us making out?” I informed. “I know.” He winked and started to kiss me. I try to get up but he lifts me up in his arms. I wrap my legs around his waist and he pushes me against the wall. His hand grabs my ass and he squeezes it. “Ding Ding Ding.” The bell ranged. “Let’s go.” I demanded. I push him away from kissing me. He sighed and grabbed my hand. We walked out of the locker room and headed to Chemistry.
