(Evan's Pov)
"Evan! Get your fat ass down here now!" Father said. I sighed and put the book I was reading down. I left my shitty junk room and went down the old creaky steps. I went into the trash filled living room and saw my dad on the couch doing cocaine, Oh s**t. Last time he did coke he almost killed me! He got up and glared at me. He smirked before grabbing my hair, causing me to scream.
"Stop stop! Please stop!" I whimpered.He laughed evily and threw me on the floor. I cried out in pain and he started taking off his belt. Oh god... I quickly got up and ran out the door.
"Get back here you little brat" My father shouted. I ran and ran to the only place I could think of.... Brandon's house. After 10 minutes of me standing outside each window like a creeper to find the right window, I picked up a rock and threw it at his window.
(Brandon's Pov)
'Tap tap tap'
I woke up to the tapping noise on my window. I groaned and crawled out of my warm cozy bed. I groggily opened the window and opened my half closed eyes to see what was out there. I saw Evan standing down there with tears in his eyes and he looked to be a mess.
"Evan?" I whispered yelled.
"Can I come up?" He asked. I nodded and went downstairs to unlock the door. He
came in and I snuck him up the stairs and into my room. I closed my door and turned the light on.
"Nice pajamas." He said and I noticed I was wearing my black veil brides pajama pants.
"Thanks... Evan, why are you here and why are you crying?" I asked worried.
"My dad..." He said. I went over to him and said
"You didn't cut, did. you?"
"No, that's why I came here." He said shakily like he was going to cry.
"Awww Evan, I'm so sorry." I said and hugged him.
"It's not your fault, I may of treated you badly before but I never wanted to hurt you. I was just taking my anger out." I smiled a little and said
"You really never wanted to hurt me?"
"Well I'll admit I wanted to hurt you in the beginning but then guilt caught up with me." He said. I shrugged and said
"Well at least you feel guilty and don't have a heart of stone." I said. He laughed a little and nodded.
"Can I sleep here tonight?" He asked. I smiled a little and nodded.
"Yeah, does this mean we're friends?" I asked hopefully. He chuckled a little bit and said
"Yeah, we're friends. And I promise to be friends with you even in school." He said, causing me to smile and hug him. He hugged me back and smiled.
"I have a big bed so you can sleep with me." I said. he nodded and I turned out the lights and we got into bed. After 5 minutes of me staring at the ceiling I finally worked up the courage to ask Evan something.
"Evan?" I whispered. He turned over on his side to face me.
"Yes?" He said.
"Why... why did you kiss me?" He blushed a little and bit his lip.
"I don't know, it's weird. I just got a really weird feeling for you. I guess I kissed you because I mind of like you? But that can't be it cause I'm not a fa- I mean gay." He said.
"Evan, there's nothing wrong with being gay." I said.
"Maybe to you, but my dad would kill me if he found out I was gay." He said. I frowned and said
"Are you gay?"
"I don't know anymore. I feel attracted to you but I still feel like I need to hurt someone to get over my dad.Thats why u cut myself." He said.
"Evan, you should never cut yourself. Would if you cut too deep one day?" I said. Thank god tomorrow is Saturday, it's already 2 in the morning.
"Then I'll be free from this Hell." I felt myself tearing up. I sat up and shook my head.
"Evan, do you know how many people would miss you?" I said.
"My friends I guess, but they'll live." He said.
"I would miss you! I don't know what I would do with out you. Your my only friend now. Yeah it may be your fault that I have no friends but that doesn't. matter." I said. He looked at me and sat up, he leaned over and kissed me again and I didn't hesitate to kiss back. He pulled away and said
"Thank you." I smiled at him and laid back down. He laid back down and we fell asleep.
"Well ain't that adorable." I heard dad say. My eyes shot open and I saw Evan was holding me and my head was on his chest. Evan's eyes opened and he blushed when he saw our position.
"Ummm." He said and let me go. I sat up and looked at my smirking father in the doorway.
"So Evan, why are you sleeping in my son's bed and snuggling him?" Dad said with a laugh. Evan scratched the back of his head nervously. I quickly came up with a lie and said
"His parents had to go out of town and he didn't feel safe alone. Can he stay here?" I asked. Evan gave me a thankful smile and dad said
"Of course! Come on down, breakfast is ready. I'll tell your mom about Evan." I nodded and he went back down stairs.
"Thanks for lying, I didn't know what to say." He said. I smiled and shrugged.
"It's no problem. Let's go eat breakfast." I said. He followed me down stairs and into the kitchen. Mom was in there cooking pancakes and dad was reading the paper. We walked inside and mom turned to us.
"Good morning! How you two doing?" She asked.
"Good, thanks." Evan said. Mom smiled and put our plates down. We sat down and started eating. Dad put his paper down and laughed.
"Cammy, you really should've seen these two. They were snuggling each other while they slept, it was adorable. Evan and I blushed while mom laughed.
"I can see you two being a couple." Mom said. We blushed harder and kept on eating. They both laughed and we finished our food.
"Why don't you guys go down to the park. It isn't supposed to be really cold today." Dad said. We agreed and walked out of the house.
"You do realize my friends might be at the park. We go there every Saturday." Evan said. I sighed and nodded.
"I understand, do you still want to be seen with me?" I asked. Evan nodded his head and I smiled. "Good." We walked into the park and I saw Evan's friends playing soccer. Evan smiled and we walked over there.
"Hey guys." Evan said. They looked at Evan confused and Daniel said
"Um what are you doing with him?" Evan rolled his eyes and said
"Relax he's cool." I smiled and Ricky smiled at me.
"Well okay then. I'm Ricky, that's Daniel, and that's Simon." I smiled and waved. They awkwardly waved back and Evan smiled.
"Good, now let's play some soccer." Evan said. We all got on the field and Evan said "Let's practice our kicking, Daniel, you be goalie." Evan said. Daniel went into the the goal and Evan put the ball down. He stepped back and ran and kicked it straight into the net. That was like a rocket!
"Jesus Christ that was good." Simon said. "Your up." He said while throwing the ball to me. I nervously stared up to the line and kicked it as hard as I can. It went straight through Daniel's hands! I smiled and they all clapped.
"Not bad for a beginner." Ricky said. I smiled and thanked him.
"Hey!" I looked over and saw Rider jogging up to me. Oh my glob I forgot to call him! I walked over to him and he said
"Hey Rider." I said. He smiled at me, his bright blue eyes covered with his hair and eyeliner and makeup. He was wearing a nightmare before Christmas belt and a black veil brides shirt. He was wearing a leather jacket and leather fingerless gloves. He said
"Hey Brandon."
"I'm sorry I didn't call you. I forgot." I said with a nervous laugh.
"It's okay, I was wondering if you wanted to come meet my band?" He said. I nodded my head and said
"Or course, let me just tell Evan." I said. I ran back over to Evan and he smiled at me. "Do you want to come with me to meet his band?" I asked.
"Sure, I'll see you later guys later." Evan said and we walked over to Rider.
"Now, their all 17 and 18 but you shouldn't worry. Their over at the picnic tables." Rider said. We walked over and I saw 5 guys, all of them looked older but I still wasn't really nervous. They all smiled at us and I smiled back. "Hey guys this Brandon and his friend Evan, the boys I've been telling you about."
"Sup, I'm Jamie, that's Ronnie, Jeremy, Luke, and Roderick."
"Nice to meet you." I said.
"So I was wondering if you guys wanted to join our band?" Rider said.
"What's the name?" Evan said.
"Dark Demonic Angels." Jamie said.
"Um wouldn't you like to have someone older?" Evan said.
"No, with the talent you two have to doesn't matter." Rider said.
"How do you know? You've never even heard me before." Evan said.
"My dad told me. He's your music teacher." Rider said. I smiled a little and said
"What would we do?" I asked.
"Well you both can sing and play any instrument you want." Rider said. I nodded and looked at Evan he smiled and nodded and said
"I guess we're in a band..."
