Salvation – noun: a source or means of being saved from harm, ruin, or loss.
At one point I found salvation in the walls of a class room. It provided a place of peace that I could go to and be myself 100% of the time… well if not my self-100% at least 99% of the time, except for the one week I pretended to be the complete opposite of who I truly am. But I learned my lesson and I never want to kiss Britney again.
Yet one class room was not enough to make me feel safe in a place that I did not belong. I may have been safe in that one class room from ice cold slushes that stain my clothes no matter how hard I tried to remove the color or the hard shoves into the hard lockers that left my porcelain skin spotted with deep dark purple and blue bruises.
There were two incidents that finally pushed me past my breaking point. The second was the most destructive so I am going to start with that one. It was when I stood up for myself for the first time in years. Adrenalin surged though my body as a pushed myself off the ground; and chased after my bully. David Karofsky was at his gym locker, I don't know what came over me but I walked straight up. Everything after that happened so fast. At one point I was yelling in his face the next his hands where gripping my face and his lips where on mine. I was terrified, I didn't know how fare this was going to go. I just knew that no one would be looking for me if this goes any farther. My mind was going a million miles a minute but as soon as it started it ended. And I was left with nothing but the threat that if I told anyone of what had just taken place he would end me and the taste of today's lunch special of tacos on my lips. The incident with Dave happened after going to "spy" on the New Direction's compaction the Dalton Academy Warblers. Dalton was everything I wanted in a school; it was nicely decorated and had a zero tolerance policy for bullying.
Dalton and everything it offered became my new salvation. Most of the salvation I found came from the leading man of the Dalton Academy Warblers, Blaine Anderson. Yes, the dream boat with the voice of an angle. Who melted my heart the first time he took my hand in his. I felt little jolts of electricity in that touch. We have grown close, closer than I ever thought I could get with a boy in Ohio. We started out with a basic friendship since we were both gay and he was the first out gay guy I have met. Yet our friendship grew further than any of the other friendships I have ever had.
Dalton was my salvation up Intel I got the phone call.
