The Future

~Narrator~

*Hello, it’s me again the narrator to tell you about the second character. His name is Matt Martin and he is a werewolf and he is 18 years old and goes to leanvillie high school. He has two brothers, one sister, and a mother. His mother's name is Renee, he has an older brother who is 23 and his name is Liam and a younger who is 14 named Elijah and one younger sister who is 16 and her name is Ava. Matt is very close to his family and he loves them very much. His family is not rich, but not poor either. They live a very nice and warm life in their division. Matt is liked by many people and has many friends.*

*But one thing they don’t know about Matt is that he is gay and he also likes hanging out with vampires in the ansanm division. And if any of his family members or friends know about this is life would be over. He goes to the ansanm division whenever he has the choice and he hangs around people who don’t judge him for being him. So, let’s start the day shall we.*

*Matt wakes up bright and early and always goes for a run. By the time he comes back, his whole family is awake.*

“Good morning, my m&m. * That's his nickname.* Did you have a good night sleep.” Said the mom

“ Yes, I did.” *That was a lie Matt hasn’t had a good night sleep since the day he lost his best friend Kevin. Kevin was a sweet boy who always take care and protected Matt since they were little. But like all good things, some must come to an end.*

*Matt walked out the house and started his way to school and along the way he met up with his other friend, James. James was a kind kid who didn’t really care for what people had to say about him. That is what made Matt want to become friends with him in the first people.*

“What’s up, Matt.”

“Nothing, I’m good. How about you.”

“I’m good, I’m good, but how are you feeling.”

“What do you mean.”

“You know what I mean.”

“I’m fine.” He said in a shivering tone

“You’re lying and I can tell. Matt you have to tell someone he can’t get away with doing something like that to you. * As the narrator I should clarify what happened, but it’s hard to say.* You have to tell or I will.”

*Matt got violent and pushed James against a brick wall.*

“If you ever tell anyone I will kill you.”

*James wasn’t scared of Matt, but he did know Matt would kill him.* “Matt, you can say and do whatever you want, but that bastard has to pay. It makes him look like he has control over you and I don’t like it. If you asked me to kill him you know I will do it because a bitch like him doesn’t deserve to live and you know that and you still love him.”

“JAMES, MIND WHAT YOU SAY, I DON’T LOVE HIM IN ANYWAY HOW COULD I LOVE SOMEONE WHO RAPED ME..”

“Then why don’t you take him down.”

“James, it none of your business what I do and you don’t have to be by my side anymore.” *Matt said this in a tone that would make you believe that he didn’t want James I’m his business and didn’t want him as a friend. But if you looked into his eyes you could see the words that speak louder than he did. The words that was begging James not to leave him and stay. And James know that, that’s why he didn’t take those lines serious.*

“I know you don’t mean it, but it still hurts my feelings, Matt I love you like a big brother and I want that bastard to rot in hell for what he did.”

“Ja…ames, I’m scared I don’t want people to know.” *Matr said this as he fell down James legs to the ground.*

“I know, I know, I’m sorry. Shhhhh, it’s ok.”

*Matt didn’t go to school that day instead James took him back home and Matt laid in his bed for two whole months. His family just thought he was depressed, but it was more than that. Matt would blame that it was his fault that his friend did that to him. And it was hard for him to continue to live this life that didn’t feel like was his.*

“Mom turn on the tv, something happened to that friend that was Matt’s.” Said the older brother.

“Today, we have some terrible news a high schooler by the name Kevin Moors has been arrested for raping 10 different boys. It has been said that he has raped more, but not all of them has came forward. We will keep you updated about this matter that seems to be troubling the world. That is all for today and coming again is 15 news.”

*Matt was surprised by the news and he knew who did it, he thought that Kecin being locked up would make him feel better but it didn’t, but what came next was a shock to him.*

“Oh my gosh, did you know about this Matt.” Said the mom.

“No, I didn’t.”

“Did he do anything to you.”

“No, mom he didn’t mom.”

“Are you sure.”

“Yes,mom.”

“That’s good, all these rapers these days, and to top it off he’s gay and that goes to show that gays are terrible people. Glad to hear he didn’t do anything to you because if he did I would probably disown you.”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t think I could look at a son who has been fucked in the asshole by a man.”

“I know right.” Said his sister

“I know like that’s disgusting.” Said his older brother.

“I wouldn’t be able to look at a son like that either because I would like he was gay and like it.” Said his younger brother.

*Matt knows that his family was not ok with the LGBTQ+, but he never know that that they would disown someone because that got raped. This put him in an awkward and devastating situation. He felt like anyone was against him.*

“Oh, I see.”

*Matt walked away and laid back in his bed. His mom called out to Matt to come and eat, but he didn’t answer. He just laid there with his thoughts and decided to call and talk to James.*

“Hey, did you get Kevin arrested.”

“No, I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“If you say so. I just called to say goodbye.”

“What do y..” *Before James could finish Matt hung up the phone.*

*Matt walked out the house and told his family he was talking a walk. He went to one of his favorite places the stonewall bridge, it was the highest bridge in the world. It was his favorite because it had a really good view at night. He loved it because it was the only place that made him forget the fucked up world that he lived in.*

*Matt jumped on top and the rail and just sat there thinking. He sat for about 25 minutes hoping someone would stop him, but no one showed up so he stood up and was ready to jump and in the distance you could hear someone yelling.*

“STOPPPPP.” *And Matt stopped and who was there.”

“James?”

“Yes, it’s me,'' What are you doing?”

“How did you know I was here.”

“I know because you would always talk about this place like it was the most beautiful thing ever. So I know you were here. What are you doing.”

“I don’t have anything to love for, so I think I should just die.”

“What do you mean you have many things to live for.”

“WHAT DO I HAVE TO LOVE FOR TELL ME.”

“Matt you ha….”

“I HAVE NOTHING NO ONE……. NO ONE LOVES ME MY WHOLE FAMILY SAID THEY WOULD DISOWN ME IF THEY KNOW I WAS RAPED BY KEVIN. THEY WOULD LEAVE ME TO SUFFER WITHOUT SAYING OR GIVING A DAMN THING ABOUT IT AN…..AND YOU WANT TO TELL ME THAT I HAVE SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR. EVERYONE ONLY LOVES ME BECAUSE I AM GOOD LIKING SMART AND POPULAR NO ONE CARES ABOUT MY FEELING OR WHAT I GO THROUGH. I HAVE NOTHING LEFT FOR ME IN TH……..”

“LIVE FOR ME. I CARE FOR YOU.”

“NO YOU DON’T”

“If I didn’t care would I be here with you right now.”

*Matt didn’t answer, so James stand beside Matt on top of the bridge.*

“What are you doing?”

“If you die, I die.”

“James, no you can’t what about your family.”

“Matt you know my family is dead and I have no one. You are the only family I have and if you die it feels like someone has ripped out my heart over and over again and stepped on it. I don’t want to feel that way without you ever.”

“James, I can’t let you die because of me.”

“This is not because of you this is my decision and I’m not changing it unless you do.”

“James, I just can’t I don’t know what to do I feel terrible about everything and I don’t want to leave this world but at the same time I do.”

*At this point James started to cry.*

“Yes, you can live in this world, we are only 18 we have our whole lives ahead of us, so why would you choose to die.”

*Matt said nothing and James looked into Matt eyes and jumped back on the bridge.*

“If you have a death wish go right ahead, I can’t stop you I have been with you since we were little and I know you can’t do it. I know that you want someone to help you off that edge that you have put yourself in. And I am here to help you. Matt, I love you.”

“What? When.”

“ Matt, I have loved you since we were 13, but I could see it in your eyes that you were in love with Kevin so I didn’t dare to speak up to you about it. I love you and I don’t know if you could ever love again, but I want you to start over with me and if you can’t love me and you still feel like leaving this world I can’t stop you.”

“James, I ca…”

“ Don’t say you can’t you haven’t been out with me yet and I want to show you my world.”

*Matt could see it in James eyes and how he was telling the truth. So, Matt stepped down, James and Matt just sat there for hours just crying. When they finally got up it was 1 in the morning, so they both just want back to Matt’s parent's place. They just laid in bed and stared at each other without saying a word, it was like they didn't need words to say anything. It was like their eyes were speaking for them in a way that was beautiful.*
