So here is the next chapter.
Warning: this chapter contains abuse, self-harming and a character death!
Jeff stood in front of the door to the office afraid of what might be on the other side. He wished that he had bought Nick with him so that he had someone to comfort him if things got really bad. He took a deep breath before slowly turning the handle of the wooden door and seeing the one person that he had never wanted to see again. The head turned to reveal the brown eyes that used to be filled with kindness and compassion, but were now filled with disappointment and loathing. The blonde straightened up slightly before taking the unoccupied seat in front of the desk.
"Mr Sterling, would you care to explain to your father what happened yesterday in the grounds of the school?" he asked
"Well... I had dived into the lake to save my boyfriend who had tried to take his own life, sir" Jeff replied
"Boyfriend? as in the one who you shot? You shot in the Madness Massacrer?" his father said in shock
"That was not my fault. You were the one who made me" Jeff said through gritted teeth.
"Sorry gentlemen, but we are getting off topic. Jeff, what did you do when you have managed to get Mr Duval out of the lake?" That was it. The Principle must have heard about how Jeff had done mouth-to-mouth on Nick. His dad would flip when he heard. Although he didn't care. He loved Nick and his father wasn't going to change that.
"Well... I straddled over him and conducted mouth-to-mouth to resuscitate him." Then he felt it. The collision of fist to face. He yelped out in pain
"That is disgusting you should have both died. There would then be two less faggots in the world." The elder Sterling spat. That was it. Jeff was done being pushed around. He stood up and hit his father with as much force as he had (he was a lot stronger than he looked)
"That was for my boyfriend" he growled before leaving the office. He just didn't care any more. He didn't care if he was expelled for anything that he did. He just needed a way to relieve all of the pain that he was enduring. As he was making his way back to his dorm he was met by Trent with a look of panic on his face.
"Trent? What happened?" He asked, taking in the look of worry on the round-faced Warbler's face
"Just, come with me" he said before leading Jeff down the hall way until they reached the last door. Jeff threw it open to see... a body. A body of a boy. A boy hanging from the ceiling. The boy was in fact Hunter.
"W-what happened? Why did Hunter do that?" he asked quietly. Blaine walked up to him
"Just read this. It'll make sense then" with shaky hands Jeff takes the folded up slip of paper:
I am so sorry. I have tried to be there for you. But I know now that I will always be second best for you. My perfect blonde haired boy. You are what made me question my sexuality.
Goodbye.
Goodbye my almost lover.

Jeff can feel the tears prickling at his eyes. He can't stand it. He caused this. It was his fault. Hunter and him had never really gotten on well but still. He, Jeffrey Allan Sterling, had caused a person to take their own life. He had to get away from the room. So he turned and silently made his way to his dorm. He looked at his watch to see that it was now 7:30, he doubted that anyone would be at Thad's party so he quickly and quietly made his way back to the dorm.
When he had unlocked the door and made sure that Nick wasn't anywhere in the room he went straight to the bathroom and took his razor. Without thinking he started to slash at his bare skin over and over. When he felt and saw the blood start to run free, he felt his guilt also leave him in the midst of the river of blood running from his arm. He slowly breathed out. He saw his face in the mirror and thought that he saw Hunter. With his good arm he managed to remove the image by the first way that came into his head. The sound of glass breaking mingled with the scream from Jeff before it went black.
I know that this chapter was depressing and I am sorry. Feel free to leave a review of your opinions so far.
I love you all
