When I'm With You

Asher POV:

Get out!!" my dad yelled throwing a hard cover dictionary at me.

"... I wish you'd just... die..." I ran off without closing his room door. I stop in front of my room door and decided I wanted to run away, so I put on my shoes and left the house. I couldn't see anything outside... My vision was blurry... And... I couldn't talk. I started to suffocate on air and the world closed in around me. Everything was dark...

"Asher wake up and get dressed!!!" I wake up to a startling slap in the face.

It was my friend Kate. For some reason I gave her a copy of my keys so she can enter my house whenever she wants too. I regret that decision now.

Kate started to search my closet, thrashing and knocking down everything in it. "Hey what are you doing!?" I got up and pulled Kate from her hands and I guess I pulled too hard that I tipped over. I didn't notice that I was pulling Kate with me, in 3 seconds we were both on the floor and Kate was on top of me.

"Asher! Why did you-"

"Just get off of me you're crushing my ribs!!!!" I yelled in pain.

Kate looked embarrassed and quickly stood up from my body. "I'm sorry Asher!" Kate apologized.

It's 8:00am. "Oh no!! I'm late!!!" I start searching my closet for my uniform.

"You're late? WE'RE LATE!!!! Hurry up and dress!" Kate stepped out my room and closed the door.

"Hey Asher! Kate is telling me you're making us late! What's the big deal-"

My friends Hans opened the door and walked in.

(awkward silence)

"Why didn't you knock Hans!! I'm in my underwear!!!" I yelled.

Hans just stood there like everything was normal. "Just hurry up and... Dress." he started to laugh. I immediately started blushing while quickly putting on my uniform.

When I was done I kept thinking about why I didn't tell Hans to leave my room when I was changing... Maybe I actually wanted him to be there... But does that mean I'm ga-

"Asher why are you just standing in your room. Come on" Kate peeked in my room rushing me.

"Fine let me get my bag..." I walk over to my closet again and grab my book bag, but I stopped and started thinking... "Why do I feel this way around Kate too? Does this mean I'm not gay...? Ughhhhh let me just go..." I go down the stairs and out the door to my front yard, where Kate and Hans were waiting for me.

"Hey Asher... Do you really own that house?" Kate asked.

I look at her with an expression of not wanting to talk about something. "... It's not... It's my dad's..." I decided to tell Kate the truth.

"You have a dad?? Me and Hans has grown up with you and never met him... Why's that?" Kate started getting too personal.

"Kate..." I paused for a second... But of course life never goes well for me.

BEEP! BEEP!

A car was driving into the front yard of my house heading straight for me.

"Asher!!!!!" both Kate and Hans screamed.
