So sorry it took so long. I have been really busy so I haven't had time. Hope you enjoy this really short chapter.

It was a cooler day as Matthew stood waiting on the bus with Alfred standing by his side. It was an awkward silence between the two brothers that could have been cut with a butter knife.

"Listen Mattie..." Alfred turned to him quietly and Matthew didn't look at him. The only proof Alfred got that Matthew was listening to him was he had tilted his head just slightly. "I'm really sorry, bro, I didn't mean what I said...I was a big ass and I should have never said that. I had no idea you were gay or being messed with...I just hate commie-ass."

"...It's fine Alfred, but I don't care if you don't like him. I do like him and he's been the only one there for me when I really needed it.'' Matthew turned and looked at Alfred. Alfred's face looked disappointed and angry since Matthew wouldn't leave Ivan. "I love him more than you could understand..."

"But Matt, he is gonna hurt you...I know he's only doing this to fuck with my mind!"

"Oh , so this is all about you again!" Matthew snapped angrily at him glaring. Alfred defended quickly waving his hands in front of his chest.

"No! It's not like that! I just worry for you and I don't want you hurt..." His shoulders dropped and he gave pitiful puppy eyes. Matthew slowly relaxed.

"I'm sorry for snapping...let's just drop the subject..." The bus pulled up and they quietly walked on. Alfred sat down next to Gilbert. Matthew didn't feel comfortable since Antonio and Gilbert both seemed to be staring at him. He sat down and neither picked on him or spoke to him. 'Great...it's going to be one of these days.'

Matthew had three types of days; physical, mental, or none. He would either be beat down or physically bullied, the trio would get the entire school in on ignoring him or acting like they couldn't see or hear him, or they all would be either sick, bored, or in trouble and leave him completely alone for that day. Today it seemed it was going to be the mental.

They were dropped off at school and Matthew went to his class. It was really weird the entire time leading all the way up to lunch since Antonio and Gilbert had watched him really close, like they were waiting on him to have some sort of super power and they would catch a glimpse of it. Matthew went to lunch almost in a run. To his horror Ivan wasn't at lunch for some reason and he was left alone.

Two shadows went over him as he ate and Matthew swallowed slowly and turned his head seeing the pair standing right behind him. Gilbert put a hand slowly on his shoulder and Antonio did it to his other side. They lifted him slowly and covered his mouth. Matthew was so terrified that he couldn't even seem to fight or scream. The look in their eyes was something different and Matthew couldn't tell what they were going to do. When they started leading him to the bathroom again he started fighting and struggling to get away. The bathroom door flung open when Gilbert kicked it with his foot since he didn't have free hands.

Matthew shut his eyes tightly waiting to be put into a swirly again or beat badly. He waited but when nothing happened he opened an eye slowly and saw Gilbert standing in front of him quietly just staring. He opened both eyes and stared back starting to shake quietly.

"Take your shirt off..." Gilbert said plainly.

"W-What?!" Matthew was horrified and scared. This was completely new and it terrified him even more. 'Are they going to rape me!? Will they tie it around my neck and strangle me!? What is he going to do, why would he...'

"Take off your shirt and let us see your arms..." Antonio said quietly right beside him. Matthew's eyes widened and he almost stopped breathing.

'Ricardo told!' He backed away quickly and Gilbert took a step forward towards him. "NO! Get away from me!" Matthew backed into the wall right next to the door.

"Matthew let us see your arms!" Gilbert snapped out as both him and Antonio advanced slowly.

The door opened as a student came in to use the restroom and Matthew made a break for it. He shot from the room running as fast as he could. Gilbert and Antonio went after him on his heels almost.

The gym was empty and Matthew ran across it as fast as he could and saw the locker room. He stopped only a second to think.

'I could go in and hide in one of the big lockers, but if I run fast enough maybe I could get to a teacher and they wont bother me. Fuck, but what if they tell the teacher and they tell papa or dad?...' He heard the pair getting closer and yelling after him. He made up his mind quickly and he knew, since he had been put into them so many times, he knew he could fit into the lockers.

There were three rows of lockers with large walls between. Matthew ran past the first two and turned to go down the third row where the large lockers were and froze with wide eyes staring.

Ivan had Yao, a Chinese student who had moved there five years ago, up against the lockers in a heated kiss.

"I-Ivan..." Yao whispered softly and smiled arching toward him.

"Da Yao-yao?~" Ivan was smiling happily and chuckled.

"It looks like we have company..." Yao nodded to Matthew with an amused smile, he had no idea of Ivan dating Matthew. Ivan looked over and choked quickly with a panicked face. He let go and jumped away from Yao.

"M-Matvey! I-It's not what it looks like!" He stuttered quickly and Matthew took a step back shaking his head staring.

"I-I'm s-sorry to intrude..." He took off running and crying. He shoved Gilbert and Antonio out of the way as he ran all the way across the school and into one of the old bathrooms that nobody really used anymore.

He sat against the cool wall and started crying hard into his hands. He pulled his pencil sharpener from his pocket and started to unscrew the blade.

XOXOXOXO

"What the hell was that about!?" Gilbert turned and yelled at Ivan, who was standing with Yao holding his hand.

"He saw me kissing Yao and I suppose got a little upset considering..."

"Considering what!?"

"I've used him to get at his brother...I was acting like I was dating him to get Alfred pissed off since he hurt my sister..." Ivan shrugged and Yao blinked at him.

"Don't you think you went a little to far..." Yao said feeling a little bad for Matthew even tho they weren't really friends.

"YOU FUCKING ASS! WE WERE AFTER HIM BECAUSE HE'S BEEN CUTTING HIMSELF! DO YOU REALIZE WHAT HE COULD BE DOING RIGHT NOW!?" Gilbert exploded and hauled back ready to swing a heavy punch right to Ivan's face.

"Gilbert! I found him! He's in the old bathroom in the Senior hallway." Antonio came back. He had went after Matthew to see where he would go while Gilbert had stayed behind to question.

Gilbert put down his fist and glared at Ivan one last time before quickly running out with Antonio and toward the bathroom.

XOXOXOXO

Matthew felt his heart breaking as he sat in the bathroom with his sleeves rolled up and six new cuts on his lower left wrist.

"Why would Ivan lead me on like that?..." he sniffled to himself staring at the blood going down like it was going to answer all his problems. "Alfred was right..." He sobbed out.

He set the cold blade to his arm and made another cut about an inch across and was going slowly up his arm.

The door swung open and Matthew froze in shock and fear and stared up at Gilbert and Antonio. 'I'm fucked...' He thought to himself as he saw Gilbert's wide red eyes and Antonio's face in a look of horror.

"Oh my god..." Antonio couldn't seem to look away from the blood dripping to the floor.

"Hold still..." Gilbert pulled gauze and tape from his pockets, that his brother made him carry, and advanced on Matthew.

Ivan got caught! So what do you think Alfred or his parents are gonna do if they find out? This will be hard for me to type after this because it'll come from personal experience at the moment. So chapters after this will take longer because they will be longer.
