I had some problems of my own that no one really knew. I could never open up to people, I was afraid to. I don't know what I was afraid of, maybe rejection or something childish like that. I reminded quiet about everything. Never revealing why I did stuff or talking about my past. My past wasn't terrible; it just wasn't super amazing like a lot of kids were. It led me to do stupid things like drugs and drinking. Link was the only person who could help me.

00000000000000

It was a few days after the incident at my home. Link only spoke to Nabooru. He refused to speak to me no matter how many times I tried to talk to him. Whenever I tried to talk to him, he looked really hurt and upset and I could tell he was about to cry.

Nabooru tried to get him to talk to me but it always failed. He couldn't even look at me straight in the eye. Every day, without his attention or love, my heart ached. I'd cry every time I was alone and the tears would never stop until I heard someone nearby.

I couldn't handle it. Before was a little bit more understandable because we both refused to speak to each other but this time…. I keep trying to speak with him, I keep apologizing but it gets me nowhere.

I watch the rain gently beat against the glass window as everyone gets into groups for an activity. No one wants to be paired up with me so I sit alone, receiving a failing grade while watching the rain fall. I see everyone's happy reflections in the window and feel like crying again. Link and Nabooru look so happy. I want to go over there and be happy with them but I can't pull myself to do it.

Nabooru suggested coming over when I can handle it. I can't handle it now. I'd cry if Link looks at me with such a plain or depressed expression. I can't do anything to change this stupid situation.

Some idiots walk over to me and sit next to me. There are two of them and there is a big grin plastered on their faces. I look at them with a blank expression.

"Can I help you?" I asked rudely.

"Aww don't be so mean…" One of them teased. He was tall and slender while his friend was short and average. "We just want to have some fun with you."

"I don't want a thing to do with you." I glared at them. I am getting more pissed then upset. "Please go."

"Come on. You're gay so you'd enjoy this little game." The short man rubbed his crotch up against my waist which made me feel very uncomfortable. "Don't you want to suck on it?"

"No I don't. Now go." I push him away which pissed off his taller friend.

"Oh, you only like blonde kid's dicks? How disgusting you are." He shoved me out of my chair and slammed me to the ground.

All the students began to laugh and began to record everything on their cell phones. Nabooru rushed over to my side but got slammed up against the wall. The teacher was out dealing with another student so there was no one to stop this.

"Let him go!" Nabooru shouted at the taller man who was beginning to strip me of my clothing.

They refused to listen though. I tried to escape but I couldn't get out of his tight grip. I began to become frightened because I had no idea what he was trying to do. I kept struggling to escape but I was too weak.

Nabooru began to shout curse words and threats at the top of her lungs. I suddenly felt very light headed even though I wasn't standing up. I started to cry as everything was growing dark.

I can't remember anything else.

I just remember waking up in a dark room. The curtains were closed shut and the room smelt of dust. I sit up and find my body underneath and on top of a blanket. I can't see very well in the room.

"You're awake?" It was Link! Why were we both here? Where was Nabooru?

"Um… Yeah." I replied, looking for his shadow.

"They didn't do anything, so don't worry." He suddenly was right next to me. I could see his small grin in the very dense light. Since he was closer, I could catch more of his details. "I dealt with them. Nabooru is bringing us some food."

"Why aren't we in class?" Link was talking to me again and I couldn't sound excited. My head hurt so bad, I was in slight pain and just couldn't bring myself to sound happy. "Where are we?"

"You like to ask a lot of questions, huh?" He chuckled and pulled me into his arms. I felt a little better being in his strong arms. "I took us out of class. I refuse for you to be in a classroom with a bunch of hooligans. We're in an abandoned class room, so no need to worry. No one knows where we are so we're safe."

I felt a little better knowing this. I relaxed in his arms and began to doze off. He was so warm and comfortable. I blushed a little as I could hear his heart pound gently against his chest. I loved the sound of it. It was so relaxing and calming. Link was all I needed to feel safe and be happy.

I remembered what happened before. It just flashed suddenly and I felt like a jerk. I managed to hold back my tears but my breathing was still becoming uneven. I didn't know what to say. Link, who I thought hated me, saved me from almost possibly getting raped by two idiots and he's being so friendly to me. I don't deserve all of this. For someone like me, who fucked up so many times in his life that seemed to of ruined his parents' lives, to have this angel hold me tightly in his arms… I just can't have it. I don't deserve this at all. This angel earns someone who can treat him right and never hurt him.

"Dark what's wrong?" Link asked me, noticing my body becoming very tense. "Did I do anything wrong?"

"N-No…" I couldn't even speak or think right. I felt too terrible for what I did. I just can't forgive myself for that! "I…"

"Food!" Nabooru shouted as she jumped into the room excitedly. "You're awake Dark! That's good!"

I pull away from Link's embrace and walk over to the window. The windows were nailed shut. Probably so no students could break in. I couldn't look over at Link to see if he was hurt or not. I wanted to know, I wanted to believe what Nabooru told me about him loving me, but I just couldn't look. I heard footsteps walk in my direction and force my gaze to be on the shattered glass.

"Dark…" It was Link. Oh God, why must he talk to me with such an innocent voice? Why is he so concerned about me? Why can't he just hate me? "What is wrong?"

"Nothing." I answered plainly. "Nothing at all. Don't think something is wrong because everything is a-okay."

"Then why won't you look at me?" He was good at picking up things. "What did I do wrong Dark? Why are you acting like this? Before, you were the one who wanted to talk to me; you were the one who begged me to speak to you again and to look at you." He paused. "Now you won't look or speak to me? What am I doing wrong Dark? Why do you just keep acting like this? Why do you keep pushing me farther and farther away from you?"

"Maybe I should go…" Nabooru sounded so far away. I think she was still at the doorway.

"Stay." Link commanded. "Maybe you can get him to speak. Obviously he wants nothing to do with me."

That was it. I couldn't take acting like this anymore. Link kept sounding like he was blaming himself for me acting like this when it really wasn't his fault. I turned to look at him and forced my lips onto his. I couldn't have him speak anymore. It was too difficult for me to keep hiding my emotions from him. I felt those damn salty tears drip down my cheeks as I kissed him.

The room was silent and nothing seemed to matter now. I forgot everything in one moment. I didn't want this to end. I wanted more of this even though his body was frozen from this action. I clenched onto his shirt tightly like my life depended on it. I felt like I'd lose him again if I let go at that moment.

I had to pull away though because of lack of air. I couldn't look at him still, my face was all flustered and I was still crying. I stared down at the pieces of broken glass and felt a little saddened by the sight. I didn't know why I was acting like that. He was talking to me so friendly even though I hurt him terribly. I just couldn't accept the fact that Link was a loyal friend and wouldn't hate anyone because of what they said.

Every being in the room were speechless. I wanted to end this horrible silence but I myself were speechless as well. I kept crying and didn't bother with hiding it. I felt like running out of the room but then nothing would be solved. I didn't want to screw things up again but I felt like I was making them worse.

"Dark…" Link mumbled. It sounded like he was a little embarrassed. "If you're upset about what happened before, please don't worry about it. It's not a big deal at all. I wasn't mad at you at all; I was just a little hurt was all." I didn't look up at him, but I could tell that he was faking something with how his tone was. "So it's okay if you don't like me!"

"I never said that though!" I shouted at him. Now it seemed like the tables turned around. Now he was the one hurting me. "What I said that night… I didn't mean it!"

"It's okay. Please don't worry about it at all." Link was walking a little closer to me but I just stepped back.

"It's not okay Link!" I began to head towards the door but Nabooru refused to let me escape. I didn't know what to do. I felt cornered and rushed. "Please let me leave…"

"Dark you need to stay here and talk with Link." Nabooru was only trying to prevent another mess. "Please?"

"Nabooru I really don't want to be here…"

"Dark. You know why you need to stay, please do?" She begged.

I sighed. "Can I at least go to the rest room real quick? I promise to be back."

Nabooru nodded and I quickly left the room. I wasn't really lying. I would be back, I just had to go and do something real quick. I went to my father's friend's house which was the closest to the school. I opened up the door to it because he didn't care too much if people just walked in.

I walked around his small home attempting to find him. He only works night shift and sleeps during the day so it's not impossible to find him. I hear footsteps coming from the kitchen and walk in there. He was preparing another "batch" it looked like. Which was odd, because rarely did he work in the morning.

"Hey Vaati." He jumped as he heard my voice and turned around quickly.

"Phew! It's only you." He whipped away his sweat nervously. "I thought you were a copper or the landlord. What brings you here, Dark Link?"

"Could you possibly give me some LSD?" I asked, taking out my wallet.

"Why do you want that? You don't normally want that kind of a drug unless something is upsetting you terribly." Vaati stopped messing around with the current drug he was making and put all his attention on me.

"Why not? I haven't had acid in a while." I paused. "I'm not upset. How much are you selling it for now?"

"Dark Link, you know I refuse to charge you since you are like the son I never had." Vaati sighed. "I have some, but it's not very much. Sold quite a lot last night and I haven't had the chance to go and order more. I'll give this to you for free, but I'm going to have to tell your father about our deal."

"Fine fine." I needed it quickly if I wanted to return back to the classroom without any suspicion. "Where is it?"

He pointed over to the broken cabinet that was above the sink. I walked over in that direction and reached up for it. The tiny bottle was all the way in the back which was a struggle. The bottle was frail that if I tipped it over, it'd break. The bottle leaned up against my finger tips which made it each to grasp.

I stood up properly and thanked Vaati for it. I quickly ran out of the small house knowing that I didn't have any time to waste. I hid behind a nearby tree and did what I needed to do to feel "satisfied."

88888888888

I returned back to the class room halfway drugged. It wasn't kicking in as quickly as I thought it would so I was a little disappointed. Nabooru ran up to me and pulled me away into a small corner.

"Where were you?" She whispered to me. "Link was so worried! He was about to go and kill someone!"

"Haha..." I snickered. "Don't worry about it! I had to pee reeeeally bad."

"…" She gave me a really weird look. Damn. She was funny looking when I'm drugged up. "What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you on acid or something?"

"How'd you know?!" I shouted loud enough for Link to hear. "Daaamn Nabu! You're smaaart!"

"Shut up!" She grabbed a hold of the collar of my shirt and pushed me harshly against the wall. "Why are you acting like this?! You don't really do drugs, do you?"

Link walked over to watch the confusing situation. I began to laugh as I didn't know what to think or do. I felt somewhat happy but not really. When I saw Link again, my heart sank. He was watching us with those angel-like eyes. He tilted his head in confusion as he tried to piece everything together.

"What's going on Nabooru?" Link asked.

"Link, why don't you go and get us a drink out of the vending machine?" She suggested. "My wallet is in my purse, dear."

"But Nabooru!" Link was so stubborn. I just realized that and I somehow remember that even though my attention span is like nonexistent at the moment. "I want to know what's going on! Why is Dark acting weird?"

"He's just…" She bit her bottom lip. I kept giggling as I thought nothing about this was funny, which is why it was funny. "He got hit in the head, remember sweets? So it's now affecting him."

"Oh... Maybe he should lay down then!" I laughed much harder at that comment.

I couldn't believe how gullible Link really was. Nabooru let me go and she spoke with Link alone. I began to look around my surroundings and found the shadows looking like fucked up cartoon characters. I just couldn't stop laughing at nothing.

Link finally left the room which left Nabooru and I all alone. She grabbed a hold of my wrist and slammed me back up against the wall. She gave me a terrible glare which made me shiver slightly.

"What?" I asked. I stopped laughing as I became more frightened.

"You know what." She slapped me. "What are you thinking?! Dark! You can't do drugs. I know you're in a fragile state but…"

"Again with Link!" I slammed her against the ground and forced my foot into her gut. She let out a horrible cough as I pulled my foot away. "I'm perfectly fine! I do this whenever I want! I don't need anyone telling me that I am upset when I'm not!"

I began to cry as I spoke so my words were becoming choked. Link ran into the room with the cold drinks. He wanted to return quickly but he didn't like what he saw. He ran to Nabooru's side and tried to help her up.

"Nabooru! Are you okay?!" Link began to cry. Did he care more about this bitch? I started to become jealous as he helped her.

"I'm fine…" She mumbled as she stood to her feet. She looked up at me with a concerned face but looked away quickly so Link couldn't see. "Why don't you go and hug Dark? He might like that..."

"Don't touch me." I hissed. Link looked hurt again as Nabooru looked even more worried. "You don't love me! You want her!"

"I never said that…" Link tried to fight back, but he felt a little intimidated.

"You don't have to lie to me! I know you don't love me!" I headed towards the door but he just grabbed my wrist.

"Dark! You know I can't love you because of my boyfriend!"

"Well then don't kiss me! Don't allow me to go far like I did that one night! Don't let me fall in love with you!" I cried much harder. This was just too much for me to take.

The acid was failing horribly and now I wondered if I should have even bothered with it at all. I yanked my arm out of his grip and ran out of the room. I heard Nabooru cry my name but I refused to slow down, stop, or return.

I needed him to call my name, but he never did.

Updated! 'm sorry for the lack of cliff hangers. Since this is in past tense, it's a little challenging for me to. Dark Link likes to tell new stories each chapter... XD

Okay. One thing. I know not a whole lot about LSD. I grew up around pot-heads, not people who did acid. So please forgive me if I screwed up on describing it. I know people who do it but I'm never around them to actually see what their like.

By the way, you might want to pay attention to Vaati. He will be somewhat important later ;x After a couple more chapters, things will actually start to get more dramatic and this whole past thing will be over with then we'll be in present tense. Just though I'd mention that XD

Thank you for the reviews! Thanks especially to Haley and Ebony-Thorn! Thank you for reading up to this point. It really makes me happy 3 Thanks for proof reading! Read and review please 3
