Hi! So, I might be adding more ships to this story. They wont have big story lines, but will be mentioned briefly. Enjoy.

About an hour after talking, we heard a knock on the door. "Oh, ill get that." Charlie said, about to start wheeling over. "No. I got it." I said, opening the door. It was Ali… I smiled as I let her in. "Hey Ali." I said, sitting back beside Abraham. "Hey guys. Charlie, glad you're back." She said, taking his hand and patting it. "Thanks Ali. You know, I never realized how hard this is. We only have 2 ramps on campus, people treat you differently if you're in a chair, and some don't even notice you. I am so sorry that you are stuck like this for your whole life. You're so brave Ali. I applaud you." He said, rolling over to her. He hugged her, smiling. "I better go." I said, looking at the time. "Nice to see you Charlie." I gave him a hug, waved goodbye, and left. I walked down the hall, and grabbed my phone out. I realized I had 2 messages, one from Nellie, one from mom.

Hey babe c; Miss you. Come home, I got a surprise… ~Nellie

I replied back with a,

Sure deal, see you soon. ;) ~Dani

My mom's message read,

Call ASAP. Need to talk. ~Mom.

I quickly dialled the number, and waited for her to pick up. Dammit mom, pick up.

Hello?

Mom, I got your message. What's wrong?

Its your father. He called me, and um. He told me that..

That what mom? What?

He's going into the war.

Wha- What? He cant. He cant!

He didn't have a choice.

I cant believe this. When's he leaving?

He's already gone… I've tried calling before, it just didn't put me through. Honey, I'm sorry.

I was in shock. I couldn't speak, or do anything. What if he died? He's a great person, I cant live without my dad…

Honey? Honey are you there?

I just moved the phone from my ear, and hung up. I started running, not caring who I hit. I was too upset to even care. Without noticing, I accidentally whacked someone in the face. "Hey!" They yelled. I quickly stopped, but I didn't turn around. My face was red and puffy, and tears were coming down my face. "Watch where you're going." They said. Wait, I recognized that voice. It couldn't be. It wasn't. I turned around, and saw somebody I didn't expect to see. It was one of my old high school bullies, shit. His name was Maxfield, he picked on me at school everyday since I came out. Also, before I knew I was gay, we dated for a bit…"What are you doing here?" I asked, hiding my face from him. "I go here now. You?" He asked, with that same smirk on his face he always had. "I.. I" I stuttered, not being able to make any words come out.

"Probably visiting all of your girlfriends. Homo." He laughed. I just rolled my eyes, and started walking. "Listen!" He shouted. "What?" I asked, turning once more towards him. "I knew you went here. My girlfriend told me you did." He said, crossing his arms. "Girlfriend? YOU have a girlfriend? Is she blind, deaf, and just plain stupid?" "No. She's gorgeous. You're jealous." He said. "No. Any girl who would date you is obviously an idiot. Now, if you'll excuse me.." I started, but he grabbed my arm.

"Still trying to pick up every girl? I'm gay, remember? And you're probably the one who turned me gay." I said, making him angry. "Don't you want to know who I'm dating?" He asked. "Yes. Bring in the village fool." I said, waving my arms out. "Her name is Emily. This is a picture of her. Don't get any ideas." He held up a picture, and it was the same Emily I know… Holy crap. I hated him, but he could get hurt. Literally. "I know her, may not want to get involved with her." I pointed to the picture. "Ill do whatever the hell I want." He said, pushing me lightly against the wall. "Bye Shay." He laughed, leaving.

DanI, don't let him bother you. Don't let anything bother you. You'll be fine, the police will take Emily away, dad will be fine, everyone will be okay. I thought to myself. But it didn't help. My eyes suddenly filled with water, my heart kept beating faster and faster. I started to run, crying really heavily. I want to leave here, so I don't have to deal with any crap. I opened the door to my room, and saw Nellie there. She saw me in tears.

"DanI! What happened?" She asked, running up to me. I threw my stuff on the floor, and just grabbed her. I cried into her shoulder, really heavily. She just held me there, the door wide open, my stuff all over the floor.

About an hour later, I started explaining stuff to her. "So, my mom told me he's gone. To make it worse, my old high school bully, and ex boyfriend, is here. He's already tormenting me, and I haven't even seen him much." I said, grasping her hand tightly. "It'll be okay. He lays a finger on you, ill kill him. And your dad will be okay." She set her other hand on my lap, and just smiled at me. "I'm scared. But knowing you're here for me, makes it better." I said, leaning my face closer to hers. I kissed her softly on the lips, and set my head on her shoulder. She just wrapped her arms around me, and squeezed me. "DanI Shay. I love you so much." She kissed the top of my head, as we sat there.

"I love you too."
