A/N: So it's been a while since I updated. Sorry, I just haven't really had any inspiration. But now I have. As I type this, I'm watching (for the second time) the new Lifetime movie, Prayers For Bobby. It's a horribly sad movie, but it's a reality. Kids come out to their parents, they're told horror stories of sin and going to Hell. They feel like there's no way out, and they kill themselves. It's a sad truth, but it's a truth. It happens. I can't help but think about Goten feeling this way during Domination. So here's the new chapter.

Prompt: Prayers For Bobby (mine)
Nothing had me crying harder than laying in Dillon's bed, watching the movie 'Prayers For Bobby.' I knew how he felt. Being gay, and not knowing what to do, feeling like there's no way out. How it was described in the movie: "Feeling like I'm at the edge of a cliff, watching the crashing waves, and feeling like there's no way but down."
I had felt the same he had, felt like everyone hated me for something I couldn't control. Who I was. The feeling that no one would ever love me for who I was, at best, what they wanted me to be. What I could never be. Blending into society, trying to keep face. Hearing the words 'fag' and 'queer' spit out so venomously from everyone around me, and pretending that with every utterance I was being torn apart a little more inside.
I was luckier than him, though. I found Dillon. I had someone that loved me absolutely unconditionally for exactly what I was. Gay, crazy, basically just completely fucked up. But he loves me. Nothing about me could ever change how he feels. I have that one comfort that helps keep me alive.
He didn't have that. No matter how hard he tried he couldn't find that one person to love him no matter what. He felt like there was no escape, and he took his life. As much crap as I've been through, I begin to realize that I'm the lucky one.
