Chapter 7

Silver felt as though everything in the theater had stopped and he and his mother were the only conscience ones. His hand covered his mouth, shaking, trying to keep himself from screaming. But his tremors would not cease, not even for a second. He was staring at his own mother, the woman who had left his life more quicker than she was in it. The questions in his head burst as he tried to wrap them back together. He couldn't believe it at all.

Ariana's song came to a close and she stood up and bowed to the roaring applause and cheers for an encore. She turned and walked away, her flaming red hair in tow. Silver's eyes fell to the ground as he started to sob silently. His hands shook as he tried to cover his ears, he needed quiet to think and the applause wasn't helping. Gold took action and grabbed Silver's hand and took him out of the theater. He brought him around the corner outside and into an alley. Silver's panting had stopped once he realized he was outside.

He looked up into Gold's beautiful amber eyes and felt all of his emotions leave him. He pulled Gold close and rested his face in Gold's shoulder. Gold held him like he was the most precious thing in the world which suprised him, he didn't think that the brunette would react so quickly to his breakdown. After a few long moments Gold asked not letting go, "So that was your mom?" Silver nodded in his shoulder. Gold sighed, "Why is she here then? After all this time? Its so weird.." Silver lifted his head up and looked at Gold, his eyes a wreck from the crying, "I don't want to go back in there..." Gold smiled a very warm and inviting smile, "We won't have to." He leaned in to Silver and kissed him softly. Silver closed his eyes as he received the kiss, his heart a flutter. He had forgotten how seeing his mother messed him up for that instant. He didn't want to break this blissful kiss.

But suddenly a door slammed open and made the two jump and look around. They saw two people walk out already in a heated arguement. "...Why are they here still? It means that HE is still here! I should've never came here, I-" The voice was Silver's mother, a voice that sent chills down the redheads spine. "Well I'm sorry! They offered us a ton of money so I couldn't just refuse that! Who cares if that little bastard happened to be here?!" The other was Lucas, and Silver had the feeling that they were talking about him. "We're playing another show whether you like it or n-" SMACK! His mother had slapped Lucas in the face hard. Lucas gasped and covered the side of his face and looked around to see if anyone had noticed. His eyes spotted Silver and Gold and his jaw dropped. Ariana was already looking at the two boys, her eyes horrified at the sight of her child. "S-Silv-?" Was all she could manage before Silver sped out of the alley as fast as the wind. Gold turned to the two adults with a furious look and stuck his middle finger at Lucas, who was taken aback by the rudeness. He sped off after Silver calling for him.

He finally caught up with the redhead at the docks; Silver was staring out to the water. Gold slowly walked up to Silver when Silver broke his stride by saying, "Why do people do this? Why put so much time and effort into something if you're going to throw it away? I don't get it..." He put his head in his hands and sighed heavily. Gold stood, unsure of how to answer Silver's question. For once Gold couldn't say anything because he couldn't relate to Silver's situation. He bit his lip and walked up Silver and hugged him from behind. "Don't let them get to you. They're all jerks." Silver brushed Gold away, "How would you know?!" His face red and eyes swollen with tears streaming down. "You don't know ANYTHING about me!" Silver's thoughts clouded his vision of his only lover in this world. It was too much for him to handle and he felt like he would explode. He pushed past Gold, sending him to the ground and sped off again. Gold rubbed his bottom as he got up, he felt his eyes swell and he wiped away the coming tears. Silver was too fast for him. And right now he was speeding out of his life, just when things were going great...

Silver reached his house by sundown, clutching his arm wishing it was Gold's. He cursed himself to oblivion for doing what he did to the brunette. Now he probably wouldn't even want to see him ever again. He acted so childish over something so trival, although it wasn't trival. It was real and painful to see; his beautiful mother, after all of these years. Those lonely, abusive years. He cleaned up his face and got out his key and unlocked the door. He quietly creeped inside. But to his efforts his father was already standing there furious. "Where the fuck have you been?" He said coldly. Silver stumbled on his words, "I-I-I, at the library." Giovanni took a step forward and grabbed Silver by the collar, "Stop lying to me boy. You didn't even come home! What the hell were you doing?! Why are coming home so late?!" He threw the redhead against the door. "I already t-told you." Silver said. "You whoreing yourself out?! You little bitch!" He punched Silver square in the stomach. All the wind had left him at that point. He collasped to the ground, gasping frantically for air. Giovanni kicked him in the head then his side repeatedly. Silver cried out in pain as he tried to get away.

Giovanni dragged Silver to the stairs and threw him on them, Silver's face smacked into one of the stepped cutting into his cheek. "GO ON GET UP THERE!" Silver stumbled but quickly got to his room, his father tailing him. Giovanni shut the door and locked it, "I WILL NOT HAVE WHORES IN MY HOUSE! STAY IN THERE!" He roared. Silver weakly collapsed on the floor, throwing up and dryheaving. He passed out shortly after.

"Brrriing! Brrrrrriiing brrrrriiiiiing!" Silver snapped awake at the sound of his cellphone ringing. Silver was laid down on his bed, a wrap around his head to stop it from bleeding. He sadly looked at his locked door, thinking about the next time he'd leave his room. Not in a while since it had been a few days since Silver was locked in his room. He had always stashed food away when things like this would happen. Just so he wouldn't die from starvation, his father would never bring him anything. It was all so terrible.

He saw his phone light up, he got up slowly and looked at it, Gold's cute smiling face appeared on the screen. Tears welled up inside of him and he ran to his bed, throwing his phone in the process. It hit the wall hard and slumped to the floor still playing the ringtone. He couldn't talk to Gold right now. He didn't want to deal with anyone right now. Gold would probably just forget about him after not answering. After all he kept ignoring his calls for awhile. He buried his face and sobbed. Why was his life constantly in tears? Now he was driving the only person who he cared about away...

The phone stopped for a while and Silver laid there trying to compose himself. Sniffling he got up and got some tissue to wipe his face. He jumped at how loud his ringtone had gotten, screaming to be answered. He picked it up and saw Gold again. Underneath his cute face was text saying, "I love you Silver ^0^" He never noticed that there before. He smiled and guessed Gold probably put that there when he wasn't looking. He answered the phone call, immediatly Gold answered, "Hello?! Sil?! Are you there?" Silver replied, "Y-y-yeah, um, hi."

"I was so worried when you didn't answer. I thought I could wait a while for this to go away... But I missed you after one day so I called and called. You're probably still mad at me huh?"

"No." He took a deep breath, "I was sleeping though." He lied. Gold sighed in relief; if only he could have that relief. "So your dad was ok with you coming in late?" "Yeah he was fine with it." He lied again. "I'm not mad at all anymore. I-." He stopped and blushed, "I miss you too." His heart raced at his gentle words. He could feel Gold's smile through the phone, the brunette sighed longingly. "Why couldn't you say that over here so I can cuddle you so hard?" He playfully whined, Silver giggled. "You're so cute Sil I can't stand it!" "Maybe I should stop being so cute if you can't stand it." He laughed. "NO! Don't you EVA stop!" They went on talking for hours, Silver's mood was lighting up as he talked more to Gold than Gold usually talked to Silver. "I've been working on our song again." He said. Silver and Gold had been working on a song together for a while before the day they went to the concert. It was a violin and piano duet, unexpectedly Gold could really write some music."I thought you would've ripped it up?!" Gold startled by Silver's statement. "Why would I do that stupid? I copied it twice already just in case you got me mad." Gold laughed, "Why you so smart? I would've never had thought of that..." Silver giggled, "Its ok silly." There was a long pause before Gold said, "Where are you? If I don't hug you right now I'm going to explode!" Silver thought for a moment. It'd be more than heaven if Gold came over, but his door was locked so he wasn't going anywhere.

"Well I can't really do anything right now. I'm still busy with uh, my house." Gold sighed very long which started to irritate Silver. "Oh you're home? Ok." He said sadly. Silver felt really bad about lying to Gold but unfortunately he had no choice in the matter. "I miss you so much. I don't think I could go another night without you in my arms Silver." Gold's voice grew raspy and husky, which sounded incredibly sexy to Silver. He perked up and blushed, "I-I-I miss you t-too you i-idiot." He stammered and jumped when he heard Gold's deep and seducing giggle. He could swear Gold was practically hitting puberty over the phone that instant. "I know I'm an idiot. I can't help it sometimes, you just drive me crazy that everything in my head becomes fart and I dunno what to say sometimes." Nevermind, his word play downgraded his smoothness. "Will you ever forgive me?" He said hopefully. Silver could imagine Gold's amber eyes staring into his own with hopeful look. A look that would make his heart throb in agony as it were right now. He bit his lip and said, "Of course you idiot. I-I-I." He paused again, "I love you idiot." He could feel Gold's grinning face through the phone.

"I love you too Sil. I hope to see you at school tomorrow. I wanna work on the song together." "Mhm, me too. I'll see you later then." "Yep, bye my love." Silver giggled. "Goodbye Gold." The line went dead and Silver hung up his phone. He sighed longly and layed down next to his pillow and cuddled it, imagining it was Gold.
