Sweater palms, teary eyes, and a mind filled with various Scenarios, Xsavier is woken up by his vicious night mare. As he is awaken, he looks at his phone which has multiple empathetic texts. "X are u okay." "X it wasn't your fault." "X idc if your gay." He was appreciative of all the texts accept the last one. He doesn't know what to do. It still hasn't been confirmed if Omar passed away or not but everyone in school is basically saying it. Snapchat is filled with the story about the fight with him and omar two nights ago.
"Goodmorning, do u want some breakfast." Zara ask politely. Zara is walking on egg shells with Xsavier. She doesn't want an outburst like what happen yesterday.
"No I'm good." Xsavier says. He has lost his appetite since yesterday. Zara tells him okay and walks out the room worriedly. A few minutes later after watching funny videos to distract his distraught feelings. Xsavier gets a phone call.
"Hello?" Xsavier says. "Hi, this is Cathy. I heard that you and Omar are friends?" She questiones. "Yeah, who is this?" Omar request. "It's Omar's mother." Cathy admits.
X's hand is shaking. He doesn't want to get the news Omar died over the phone. Hell he doesn't want to get the news at all.
"I'm hear to tell you." Cathy's voice breaks. As Cathy's voice breaks Xsavier tears start bursting tears out of his eyes. "Omar is okay. He's okay. There's no need to worry, but he does have a fractured neck. And a slight concussion." Cathy reveals. Xavier cries of relief. "Thank you, for letting me know he's okay. I'm so sorry for what I did. I wish I could take it back. Can you please tell him…" Xsavier pauses as he flashes back at when he told Omar he "loves him but he can't love him." "What would you like for me to tell him, sweetheart." Cathy politely questions.
"That I love him." Omar admits.
Cathy is not the religious type she isn't against gay people. She lets Omar be himself and she instantly forgave Xsavier after hearing him cry because that revealed to her that he actually does care for Omar. "I will." Cathy says as she tells him not to worry. Xsavier tells her thank you and they both say their goodbyes and the phone is now hanged up.
"Z!" Xsavier shouts. Z peaks her head out from the hallway and into the door. "What happen." She smiled as Xsavier tells her that Omar is still alive. She rushes over and gives him the biggest hug and he smiles as tears of joy creeps down his eyes. "Okay I'm glad everything is okay. We got to go to school and get your permission slip sign for prom." Xsavier's smile turns into a face of despair. "I don't even think I'm going." X responds.
"X, you have to go! Like think of looking back and feeling left out. It will be fun for you." Z demands.
Xsavier doesn't want to go to school. Not even for a minute to get a permission slip. Everyone has been talking about him all over social media. He's ashamed to be viewed as the man who almost killed Omar. Plus the only person he truly wanted to go with was Omar. He knew that wasn't possible considering he wasn't out, but he starts to think Z is right because he spent so much money on a suit to not wear it.
"Yeah I know it's tough X, but I'll walk in their with you." Zara says comforting him. He tells Zara thank you as he walks to the bathroom. "Alright imma get ready." Xsavier says as Zara tells him okay. She goes down stars to finish her make up.
Alternative rap music vibrates the whole car as Xsavier and Zara stop in the high schools parking lot. Xsavier's phone starts ringing. It's a blocked number. Zara turns down the music.
"…." Silence. Silence is all he hears. "Who is this?" Xsavier ask. "….." again silence. Then suddenly they hang up.
Shaking and nervously he walks into his old school to turn in the permission slip.
The shock on the secretaries' faces and the teachers walking up and down the halls you would think there was an alien abducting earth. Xsavier's heart is beating critically fast and he turns around trying to flee. Z stops him. "No, you will not let this effect you. Eventually you're gonna have to show your face in public. We gotta start now." Z gives Xsavier an ultimatum. Wanting to disagree Xsavier turns back around and faces the fire. He walks down the Scarcely silent hallway and wonders his way to the Principal office. The main secretary was talking to a counselor then they suddenly stop it was very stunned by the presence of Xsavier. "Hi, can we help you?" Mrs Jones questions in a condescending voice. Xsavier always despised Mrs. Jones. She always rubbed him the wrong way. "Yeah I'm just hear to turn in the permission slip." Xsavier says. "Sorry, X I've been inform that we have to deny that because you have a warrant for your arrest. The police was looking everywhere for you." Mrs Johns says as she's interrupted.
Xsavier sprints out the room. Z runs behind him. He's running to the street he keeps going and suddenly a car runs on the sidwalk he Collides of the black Nissan. His eyes rolls in the back of his head. Z is screaming from her lungs. Xsavier's body seems lifeless. Z is still screaming as she looks over and a familiar face gets out the car, she is in disbelief.
