Hiya
I know this isn't my other story, but I wanted to take a little break, and the idea for this just kinda popped into my head. Another story with a song name for a title, I know, I'm just so creative :P
"D-d-dad. I'm... I'm gay"
"What did you say?" He hissed
"I'm....I'm g-"
My sentence was cut short by a paw connecting hard to my face, and I was sent flying to the floor
"He hit me...I can't believe my father hit me" I thought to myself bringing a paw up to my cheek. The large wolf in front of me... my father, had never once hit me, or even shown anger towards me. This was a side of him I'd never seen of him. This was the first time I'd ever been genuinely afraid of him, or anyone for that matter, in my life.
"D-Daddy?" I asked.
"You're not my son. No son of mine will be a tail raising faggot" He yelled, spitting the last word out like it was poison in his mouth.
"Go to your room and stay there, I don't wanna see your face anymore"
I attempted to get up, but before I could I was picked up, and carried to my bedroom door. My father opened it, and threw me in.
"If you tell ANYONE about this" He said with pure hatred "I will kill you. Don't you dare doubt it"
He slammed the door shut, leaving me in the dark. I curled up on the floor and cried myself to sleep.
2 months later
"TI! GET YOUR LAZY ASS OUTTA BED, BEFORE I GET YOU OUT MYSELF!" My father's scream echoed through the house.
I stretched out of my balled up position and slid out of bed. I went over to my dresser and got out a t-shirt, a pair of ratty jeans, and a hoodie. I grabbed my brush and looked into the mirror that stood against the wall, cracked from the many times I'd be thrown into it. I looked at the 15 year old wolf that was in it. I was relatively attractive, despite the bruises and cuts that decorated my body from the years of beatings. I slid my clothes over them, covering them from sight. I looked at my face next. There was a prominent dark spot over my left eye. I brushed my bangs over it, to make sure no one saw it. Usually my father was more careful of where he hit me, so that no one would see it. I tiptoed into the kitchen and quickly made myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, threw it in a paper bag, and put it in my backpack, and I left as quickly as possible. It was a cold and windy fall day in the small town in New York I lived in. As I was walking, I heard someone calling to me
"Hey Ti!" They yelled. I turned to see my neighbor Xandir. He was on otter, a year older than me, and was my best and only friend.
"Hey Xandir" I called back smiling. He caught up to me quickly and we decided to walk to school together.
"So Ti, how was your summer" He asked me
"Oh it was fine" I said with a smile on my face "How was yours?"
"Meh, it was okay."
While we walked and talked, a strong gust of wind blew, blowing my bangs out of my face, showing Xandir my black eye.
"Whoa, Ti... What happened?" He asked, not taking his eyes off of the shiner.
"Oh, I tripped and fell last night, it's nothing" I lied coolly
"...Oh" Xandir said, still looking at it. I prayed he'd believed me, and didn't want him to get involved, and possibly get hurt too. I'd had a crush on the otter since I met him I was going to tell him the day after I told my dad, but after how my dad responded, I was too afraid. I didn't want him to hate me, and if that meant we could only ever be friends, then so be it.
When we got to school, we put our stuff in our lockers, and went right to class. The heat was on full blast, and I was burning up in my sweatshirt, and reluctantly took it off. When the teacher, Ms. Corcoran walked by, she stopped for a moment, and I could feel her eyes on me, and I heard a small gasp come from her. Soon the bell rang, and I got up to gather my stuff and leave. Before I could however, Ms. Corcoran closed the door behind the rest of the class, and looked at me.
"Ti, can I talk to you for a minute" she asked.
"Uhh, sure, I guess" I said.
"Is everything going alright at home, is there anything going on?" she asked with genuine concern.
"No, nothing is wrong. Why would you think that?" I asked before her eyes fell on my bruised and cut arms.
I pulled them up close to me, covering them from her sight.
"Oh, those... I just fell into through a glass door a few weeks ago, it's nothing to worry about" I said chuckling "I'm just a total klutz is all."
"Are you sure? You can tell me if anything is wrong, you can trust me. I promise"
I wanted so badly to take the offer, and considered doing so for a moment. But I thought of what woul happen if I did. If someone came to investigate, but couldn't prove anything, then my dad would know I told someone.
"No. Nothing is wrong Ms. Corcoran, thank you for your concern though" I said, and I turned and walked out of the room.
The rest of the day went by fast, and soon Xandir and I were walking home together again.
We got to the pathway leading up to my house, but before I could turn to leave, I felt Xandir's paw on my shoulder. I turned to look at him.
"Ti" he said looking at the ground. "There's been something I've wanted to tell you for a while now..."
"Yeah, Xandir?" I asked, wondering what it could be he wanted to say
"Um, I don't know how to say this, but... I like you, I like you a lot, and I know it's probably a long shot and I know you probably don't like me like that but-" I kissed him cutting him off. There was a look of shock in his eyes, but it slowly went away as we shut our eyes and continued the kiss. After about a minute we split apart.
"W-Wow. Does that mean" He started "You like me back" he said surprised
"Y-yeah, ever since I first saw you."
"Do you wanna be...you know....boyfriends" he said, the last word coming out very quietly"
"I would love that" I said smiling. Things were starting to look up.
"Well I have to go" I told him, before giving him another kiss. "I'll see you tomorrow"
"Yup, see yah I said running up the path and into my house. I closed the door and rested against it, smiling. My happy moment was cut short when a strong paw forcefully grabbed me and threw me to the ground. I screamed, but it was soon cut short by my father's foot connecting with my stomach and rib cage over and over.
"I saw you with that otter fag. Don't worry though; you'll never see him again."
"Wha-" I groaned out before his paws wrapped around my neck. I kicked and struggled, but it was no use. I hear a thump, and blacked out.
I was in a dark room that seemed to go on forever.
"Where am I" I thought. "Am I dead?"
"Please wake up!" I heard a familiar voice say.
"X-xandir?" I asked the empty dark room.
"Ti, you can't give up on me. Please wake up" The otter whimpered.
Suddenly a bright light appeared. It started out very small, but grew. I could hear a beeping through it, and as it opened more, I saw myself in a hospital bed, with Xandir sitting next to me, tears streaming from his eyes.
I stepped through it.
"T-Ti?! Oh gods, you're awake" My boyfriend said throwing his arms around me and wrapping me into a big hug. "I was so worried...that I was going to lose you." He said starting to sob." I was almost inside my house when you screamed. When I heard it, I grabbed a baseball bat from my lawn and ran to your house. When I got in, you're father was strangling you a-and, I just hit him with everything I had over the head."
"How did I get here?"
"Well, I called 911 and told them what happened, and they sent an ambulance and brought you here." Xandir explained.
"What about my father?"
"I only managed to knock him out, but don't you worry, he'll never be able to hurt you again" He said reassuringly.
Then it hit me.
"Wait, where am I going to live now? "
"Weeell. I was hoping that maybe you could move in with me...if you wanted to?"
"I would love that, hun" I told him smiling
"Yay!" He said excitedly.
3 Years Later
"Ti, I have something I have to ask you" Xandir said.
"Sure hun, anything"
The otter got down on one knee.
"Ti, we've been together for 3 years now, but I've loved you for so much longer. Ever since we were tiny cubs, I knew I wanted to be with you. I wish I could've known what was happening sooner so I could've save you all the pain and suffering you had to endure. And though I couldn't protect you then, I want to protect you and love you for the rest of my life. Ti, will you marry me?" He asked, flashing a grin at the end of it.
"Xandir" I said, choking back tears "Of course I will" I said before wrapping him in a tight hug, and kissing him.
"I love you" he said, breaking our kiss.
"I love you too" I said nuzzling into my fiancé.
