Jackson is a middle child who has been in the closet since he was twelve. He met his boyfriend and best friend Danny when he was fourteen. Soon after that they started a secret relationship. Jackson's dad left when he was four but came back two years later. Ever since then Jackson has been trying to be everything he wanted. His dad kicked his older brother out three years ago after they had a physical altercation with each other. Everyone knows that Jackson is gay but his dad and he wants it to stay that way. He dad had always had a temper and he didn't want to be in the line of fire if he came out. Everything was going good until one night changed everything.

Frank Whitmore was just getting off of work when he spotted a male figure come from the backyard. Before he could say anything he ran off. He got of his car he went inside and up to his fourteen daughter's room. When he opened the door Jackson was sitting on her bed while Jamie was on her computer. "Who the hell was that sneaking out of your window?" He yelled. "And don't tell me that you don't know what I'm talking about."

"Dad it's not what you think." Jackson said walking over to him. "That guy was-"

"I'm not talking to you." Frank said. "I'm talking to your sister whose sneaking boys out of her bedroom."

"Why are you yelling?" Their mother said coming into the room.

"Did you know that she had a boy in the house?" Frank said looking back at her.

Mary looked from Jackson to her husband. "Honey maybe you should calm down."

"I'm not calming down until someone tells me what the hell is going on." Frank said looking at everyone. "Did you know that he was up here?"

"Dad his name is Danny." Jackson said. He looked over at his sister who was shaking her head. "He's going to find out sooner or later." He looked back at his father. "His name is Danny and he was here to see me not her."

"What do you mean?" Frank said walking closer to him.

Jackson took a few steps back. "He's my boyfriend."

"You're what?" Frank said. "Are you telling me that you're a homo?" Jackson nodded. Frank looked back at his wife. "And you knew about this?"

"Dad just let me explain." Jackson said.

"Explain what?" Frank yelled. "There is no way that my own blood is a fucking faggot. It's sick and wrong and you're going to burn in hell for it."

"Dad!" Jamie cried out.

Jackson left the room and went to his own. Grabbing his jacket and keys he headed outside. Ignoring his mother and sister who were calling for him to stop. Getting into his car he pulled out the driveway and drove off.

Jamie was standing in the doorway with her mother. Turning around Frank was standing behind her. "How can you say that to him?" She yelled. "I hate you." She yelled again and ran upstairs.

"Jamie?" Mary yelled going after her, shooting her husband a look before going past him.

Saturday afternoon

Frank had been driving around all day trying to clear his head. When he got home he saw his oldest son's car in the driveway. Going inside the three of them were sitting on the couch talking. "What is he doing here?"

"We haven't heard anything from Jackson so I called Jake to see if he heard anything from him." Mary said. "We were just going out to look for him again."

"Do you need me to do anything?" Frank said.

Jake stood up and walked over to his dad. "You've done enough already Frank. So who don't you stay out of our way? We can do this on our own and you better pray that he's okay." He headed for the door, Jamie right behind him.

"Mary I'm sorry." Frank said.

Mary sighed. "I'll call you if we find anything." She left the house with the others.

Frank sat down on the couch and buried his face in his hands. He couldn't believe that all this was really happening.

…

They searched all day and half the night but couldn't find Jackson anywhere. So when the other called it a night Jake kept looking for Jackson. He didn't get home until early the next morning but he still couldn't stop worrying about his brother.

….

Sunday

Danny was freaking out because when he woke up he saw that he had a message from Jackson. Telling him that he was sorry and he loved him. So he got dressed and went right to Jackson's place. "He really said all that to him?"

Jamie nodded. "My mom took time off work and is out looking for him now. I don't know where my dad is either. Jackson isn't answering his phone and I'm worried that something bad is going to happen." She started down at the text message that Jackson left. "This almost sounds like a-"

"Please don't say that." Danny said looking over at her. "He's going to be fine." He knew how Jackson got when he was upset and he wasn't going to talk to anyone until he's ready too.

…

Jackson was sitting on a bed in a hotel room. He's been getting phone calls from everyone since he left. He couldn't stop thinking about the words his father called him. After he left the house his father even left him a voice message telling him that he was no longer his son and how much it disgusted him. He felt like he had lost everything and he just wanted the pain to go away.

…..

That night Jake had to say with his sister because their mom was out looking for Jackson while his father was nowhere to be found.

"Do you think he's okay?" Jamie asked. They were in the kitchen making dinner.

"Why wouldn't it be?" Jake said. He was still very afraid that something was wrong but he didn't want to say anything in front of his sister. Just then there was a knock at the door. "Stay here I'll be right back." He left the kitchen and answered the door. Standing outside was two police officers and he knew something was wrong. "May I help you?"

"Hi um we found your brother." The officer said. "But he was taken to the hospital."

Jake heard his sister coming and told her to go upstairs. He walked outside and shut the door behind him. "What happened?"

"A hotel maid found him in one of the rooms." The officer said. "You brother tried to kill himself."

Jake sighed. "Jackson." He said looking down. How was he going to tell his mother this?
