Victor woke up with a wrenching in his gut and reflexively whiped any tears off his face. He'd dreamt that he ans Walter were on a beach. The sun was bright and the water was cool and they were so happy together. So happy...
He was confused to find a few chocolate eggs on his bed, and for a second believed that Walter was trying to surprise him. Then, he heard the annoucements.
Well, shit.
"This is never gonna end, is it?" he asked, looking up to the celing and pretending he was talking to God. "I mean...is it always gonna hurt like this?" Of course, there was no answer, but Victor figured someone would answer when he or she or whatever God was was ready to.
He'd left his computer on all night, he realized when he heard music coming from over near his desk. A techno song was playing:
"People never tell you
The way they truly feel
I would die for you gladly
If I knew it was for real..."
"Fuck this shit," Victor grumbled, and got up to turn the sound off. He was starting to get really tired of breakup music. Right now, he just wanted to relax and process what was going on, and figure out what he could do to get Walter back. When he reached the computer, though, he saw that he had an email. With a curious look, he opened his mailbox, then smiled a little when he saw that it was from Paras.
Victor:
I am sorry that I had to leave so suddenly before. My roommate was coming in and I did not want him to see what chat room I was in.
How are you doing? Do you like it at your new school? How's your boyfriend? Let me know, okay?
I need to go again. It is late, and I need to get to bed. I hpe that everything is well with you.
-Paras
Victor frowned at the mention of his boyfriend. "You mean ex," he muttered, then shook his head. "No, Vic, you can't think like that. You'll find a way to make him see." With a sigh, he leaned forward and typed a reply:
Hey, Paras!
Don't worry, it's cool. I used to do the same thing too, before I came out. School's alright. It's actually kind of like Xavier's. Instead of evil villans attacking the school, though, we have snow monsters and demons and stuff. Good thing I've had lots of training in this stuff, huh.
And Walter...Walter broke up with me two nights ago. It's a long story, but basically he doesn't want me to get hurt by him or because of him, so he thinks that if he's not around anymore then it won't happen. He's so fucking supid right now, and I hope that I'll be able to make him see it. I just don't know how, yet. He doesn't want to listen to anything I say, but maybe if I drill it in his head he'll get it.
Sorry to dump that on you, but it really hurts right now. I'm in love with him, and I thought he was in love with me, too. My friends say that he still is, and that he broke up with me because he loves me. But if he loves me, why doesn't he trust me? it's so confusing, and it makes my head hurt.
I'll talk to you later. I think I need a long shower right now.
-Victor
Victor shut down his laptop and rubbed his eyes again. He had a feeling that it was going to be a looong day.
