The Beginning of the End: prologue-The Start of the Beginning of the End.
This is my first story so go easy, please, besides its only the prologue, so its really just him sitting in bed thinking.
Everything had been going fine, highschool was started, his grades were fine, his life on track. People still made fun of Tech (A nickname he hated) for not having a girlfriend but he was fine with that. Dom sat on his bed thinking what had gone wrong.
Him.
He came to our school toting about how he was openly gay. He had just moved in from another town, and he was always so... Happy. Dom wanted to be happy, not dull like his day always was.
Go to school, hang out with Nikki, and then sat in bed thinking till he fell asleep. His tail swished back and forth when he thought of the new kid, Kane. Kane had come to school a week ago and was the first boy accepted to the schools basketball cheer leading.
Dom was a tall, underweight Skunk. Kids at school called him Tech, because of his fondness for computers. He joined the basketball after pressure because of his height in middle school and
now was on the highschool team in his sophomore year, which just made it worse with Dom as a cheerleader.
'Thats when it went wrong' He thought. 'On the first game of the season' he started thinking back to that time, Dom was running to his team after a huge win of 68-18 and he looked at Kane, who winked at him
and he just stared for a while thinking about it while his teammates held him up and carried him into the locker room. 'That's were these thoughts started'. Everything had changed, he no longer fantasized about Nikki being with him, now no matter what he thought of it always was Kane he was holding...hugging...kissing. Just the thought of him was amazing.
"NO! This is wrong, it would be impossible' one side of his head screamed.
While at the same time the other was screaming back 'But you want it so badly! Think of what your dad always told you, do what you need to to get what you want most!'
"My dad is an extreme catholic" Dom said to himself hugging his pillow "No way he would ever approve of this, I'd loose my home, my family, my life." A tear streaked his face but he didn't wipe it.
Dom never thought of himself as gay, maybe Bisexual after seeing Kane wink at him but gay seemed so.. alien to him. Each day he was pounded by his father saying things to the TV, homophobic ranting when a movie like "Broke back mountain"comes onto the screen or when the Ellen show is on. His father was so scary that way, so unaccepting of new traditions in place of his old well worn ones. No matter how many times I tell him i don't believe in the bible and Christianity as a whole he still makes me read from a Bible and go to church every Sunday to try and "wear the truth into me"
Kane was a small Cheetah with green eyes. 'His eyes winking at you, his eyes, his EYES' part of his brain said. The other said 'Who cares look at Nikki's eyes! There nice too!'.
Dom would think like this every night of the week. Back and forth between yes and no. ' Stop living in a dream land Dom, your dad is catholic, homophobic, against interspecies, and a naturally angry soul. What would happen if he found out?'
Dom went on to remember when one of his cousins came out before thanksgiving, one on his mothers side. His dad has just stood up, left the room, and drove away leaving Dom and Theresa (his mother) alone at the table
with there relatives and no way to get home.
After discovering his secret thoughts for Kane he had been terrified of his father, 'What if i get in a relationship and he finds out?' 'What if he kicks me out, than what do I do?' 'What if..What if...What if..'
these thought plagued him every night since seeing Kane for the first time. He thought he might get to live with Kane, but what if Kane doesn't accept me, or what if his parents are against interspecies?
Every way he put it it seemed like he was screwed through and through.
Making it even worse was the fact that Kane was in all of his classes accept two, and in one he sat NEXT to him! Sure if they were together that would be cool but what if He asked him out and Kane didn't accept? Than it would make every moment they spent near each other awkward and annoying, and than everyone would know he was Bisexual, and than..and than.. and than. 'So many questions to ask and nothing comes out of it, The answers always trail of into more questions and more questions, its like they gave me a linear algebra course instead of a simple geometry class'.
Dom thought of telling him in his head, imagined a fist coming out and hitting him, imagined running from his own home with nothing. "No I cant tell,"He concluded, "Do what you need to to get what you want most"
he said to himself "What a fucking hypocrite". He hadn't noticed but by now his pillow was wet with a river of tears, silent tears he found there each night after thinking.
_ I know its short but its only the prologue, just testing out any writing ability I may or may not have and looking for help in it. Also, I need someone to help proof my stories, I guess the only upside would be you get to read them early.. Also HUGE inspiration from Sci the Cheetah, if your reading this I only just noticed this is a Cheetah and a skunk so don't get mad please ;_; i swear i didnt mean to copy you lol _
