we can make this work part 3
I spent over an hour trying to find Ian. No luck, so I decide to go home and get some sleep.
~Next day~
Finally maybe I can talk to Ian. I look up and down the hallway; finally I spot Ian at his locker. I race down to Ian; Ian looks at me and turns the corner. I stopped Ian before he could walk away from me.
“Hey -“
“Don’t even say anything Anthony, just leave me alone.”
“Ian Just-“
“NO go away before I punch you”
At that I let Ian walk to his 1st class.
~A few hours later~
Time for lunch. I try and look for Ian around the café, but I don’t see him anywhere. So next place I think of is the gym. I run down to the gym and I see Ian Lifting weights. My heart starts racing at the sight of Ian. I’ve never knew I would even feel this way about him. I never knew I would even feel this way about my BULLY. The guy who makes my life hell.
“Ian?”
“Really Anthony? I told you leave me alone before I hurt you.”
I look down at the ground and walk away, I stop at the door.
“Ya know you can tell me anything right? I don’t care anymore if you hurt me. You’re hiding something. I know you are.”
I look back at Ian who is staring at me with tears in his eyes about to burst.
“Listen…I’m sorry man okay? I’m sorry about everything. I’m sorry for making fun of you all the time and beating up because of your sexuality. “
Ian looked as if he was going to cry. I walk over to Ian and put my arm around him.
“Ian….are you gay?”
Ian looked at me with tear filled eyes, a tear slipped out.
“I- I - don’t know. I….” Ian began sobbing. I let him cry it out on my shoulder.
I don’t give a shit anymore that he bullied me. I could care less now. What I’m focused on is helping Ian.
