Chapter Text
Dawson's POV:
I slowly woke up when the alarm went off to 6:00 am, I got off bed and went to take a shower, I couldn't hide my feelings when I think about that guy at school, he was well-known for his bravery but I know from most people that he was against the LGBTQ community because his parents are strict with religion, he was an only child with expecting his parents to be a perfect child with good grades and perfect appearances. As I got off the shower, I dried myself up, put on my clothes and brushed my teeth, I headed out of the bathroom to see my little brother Bryson, he is 7 years old and he was resting on the sofa of the living room, I had to take care of him because our only parent, my dad left us with his mistress, our mother died when Bryson was born and dad only paid attention to him as a doll.
I was never planned by my parents, I was an accident according to my mom and my dad, I was born when my mom was 19 while she was dating my dad, they had to get married at a young age to take care of me, I wasn't treated fairly and once Bryson was born, my mom died and my dad paid only Bryson attention, spoiling him completely and once dad abandoned us, Bryson started to go easy on me after finding out that dad left us for another woman, I took care of him and see him as my own son. I woke my brother up by tapping on his cheek, he woke up quickly and asked "Brother? What's going on?" He realized it was morning and said "Good morning Brother!" I giggled before saying at my little brother "Good morning brother." I said, I grabbed him and got him dressed before I asked him "I only have 42 minutes until the bus comes, what do you want to eat?"
Bryson began thinking about what he wanted to eat, he had an answer "I want pancakes!" Honestly, I don't know how to make pancakes and asked "Is there anything else I can make for you? I don't know how to make pancakes!" Bryson began thinking again and said "Just give me cereal, I want the chocolate ones." I smiled and said "Great choice, once I have enough money, we'll go shopping." Bryson looked at me with a smile and said "Brother, save the money for yourself." I smiled at my brother again and said "I have to provide for you, just let me get you whatever you want and the rest will be transferred to my bank account." As a 17 year old boy, taking care of my little brother is hard, reading him a bedtime story was something that was easy, I had to dress him, feed him, and bathe him. I went into the kitchen to prepare him some pebbles cereal, he ate it quickly while making a mess and I had to clean it up, I decided to eat breakfast at school instead because I only had 20 minutes left of getting ready, I got my brother ready to brush his teeth and put on his bookbag. We walked out of the house to wait for the bus, his bus came first and I waved goodbye to him as he disappeared from my sight to Luni Elementary School.
Suddenly, I heard 'his' voice, I looked behind to see the boy that I was talking about earlier, his name was Luke... He was the guy who has a good reputation in Luni High School, I was just a nerd in the school, I saw him as he said to me "Oh look! It's the gay idiot!" Luke said, he was holding his book for school as the person next to him was my ex-girlfriend Angela, who I used to date before she dumped me for him and she became against me since then. It's turns out that I liked men, not thinking that I also like girls and she said to me to go read the bible, I'm not religious because my parents never had any religious beliefs. Okay, the truth is that I'm Bisexual... I like men and women, I guess she doesn't understand that and left me to be with him, Luke.
"What do you want from me?" I asked him, looking annoyed as his usual hom*ophobic phrase, he walked up to me, pulling out his bible that his somewhat grandmother gave him and threw it at me but I dodged it. "What the hell dude!?" I asked, now full of fury "I already told you that I'm not religious!" He looked disgusted and said "OH MY GOODNESS! WE HAVE A GAY MORON HERE! HOW RIDICULOUS!" Luke and my ex began laughing, calling me hom*ophobic remarks about my bisexuality, I looked away from those two and said "Go get a life! God doesn't want any people commiting sins!" Luke looked annoyed, he walked over to me and grabbed my hair as he said "WHY!? GOD DOESN'T WANT ANYBODY FROM THE STUPID LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY TO BECOME CHRISTIANS! YOU'RE A BISEXUAL FREAK YOU ANNOYING ROACH!" Angela started laughing at me while videotaping me being bullied by her boyfriend, Luke let me go and pushed me against the concrete floor, I got up with a headache and walked away from those idiots.
I couldn't imagine their treatment towards me being bad, Angela used to be nice when we met in elementary school and now she's rude, I just walked away to see the bus stopping where I am, let me in and I sat down on the front seat, ignoring the rest of the kids around me as I was looking out of the window. Once I reached to my school, I ignored the whispers around me, everyone just ignores me because of my poor family, I spend my time at school, alone and people belittling me over everything, it was driving up insane that I just want to go home and die. I couldn't stand it and throughout the week, I just ignored Luke and my ex-girlfriend Angela, as they belittle me frequently and call me bad stuff.
