Chapter 28 - He Took Everything From Me

Asher

I’ve been lying awake for close to two hours, and no one has walked through that door since. Visions of my dad’s fist connecting with my face and ribs were still fresh in my mind, and they hurt just the same.

This entire weekend was fuck up upon fuck up, and it started when I went over to Liam’s place. I can’t help but blame myself for all of this; if I didn’t go over to his place after the game, if I didn’t fall in love with him and fuck him, things would be different right now. Fallon would probably be riding my dick, and even though I can’t stand another woman’s touch, I would have endured it.

“What a fuckfest,” I murmured to myself, my throat dry from not having had any liquid. What would happen now? I am in no fucking condition to play football and will probably be out of commission for the entire season.

What use would I be to the team, to anybody? When my dad did this, he knew exactly what he was doing. He knew he not only killed my high school career, but he completel

    Liam Asher hasn’t been to school in two months. Rumour has it that his father has taken him out of Waterford High, so he won’t be coming back here. I haven’t heard anything from him either, and all his social pages are silent. Am I worried about him? Of course, I am; he’s supposed to be my boyfriend! I just didn’t expect his ‘goodbye’ that day to be final. Looking up at the school, I am doomed to spend the rest of my school days alone; I breathe out a sigh and walk inside. Might as well get used to the loneliness. After that Friday spent with Asher, I thought things would start looking up; I had someone who genuinely cared about me. Someone who wanted to protect me against everyone and was in love with me. How did it all turn into this? I guess I would never know. When I didn’t hear from him, I managed to track my dad down. The asshole turned out to be the the fucking Dean at Yale and had a part to play in getting me in there. This pissed me off so much because now I felt like I d

    Asher Fuck. Oh my fucking God, this is not good. I need to get Liam out of here, so I grab him by the wrist and pull him behind me without even thinking. “He’s just leaving, Dad,” I say, walking towards the door and forcing Liam behind me, but my dad puts an arm against the doorway, blocking me. “Where the fuck do you think you’re going, you little faggot?” He slurs, looking straight at me, then at Liam. “Taking your girlfriend home?” I shake my head. “He’s just a friend coming to check up on me, nothing else,” I stutter, trying to put on a firm voice, but my fear stops me. My father walks inside, and I take a step back, ensuring Liam is behind me. “Bullshit,” he says, cocking his head towards Liam. “Everyone knows he’s a fairy, so what would he be doing here so late at night?” I squeeze Liam’s wrist out of fear, hoping my dad wouldn’t take his anger out on him. “Dad, it’s nothing. Just let him go home-” Before I could finish my sentence, my dad’s fist connected with my gut and

    Asher The church is packed with the crisp December weather inching into my bones. I’m staring at the faces of these people I have never met and listening to all the bullshit they had to say about my dad. “He was a good guy; he will be missed. What a great guy!” They spew as they give their eulogies, and all I can think is how far their heads were up their asses. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house except for my mother and me; we knew the real Benjamin Prince, and he did not deserve all the kind words everyone was saying about him. Some businesses were even closed down so they could attend the funeral, and my teachers and old team were all here, Coach included. I got so many slaps on my back that I knew it would be raw by the end of the day. Liam and Dr Marsh were here too, but Liam was keeping his distance for obvious reasons. Last week we spent our first Thanksgiving without my father, and my mom and Dr Marsh cooked an entire meal for us. I hadn’t seen my mom smile and laugh as

    Liam To say the last week has been difficult is putting it lightly. Asher is back at school and on the football team again, but he’s different. He said that he doesn’t care who finds out about us, and I have given him time since his dad died, but he’s gone back to pretending that I don’t exist. It shouldn’t bother me this much, but it does. When we’re alone, he’s back to the Asher I fell in love with, but when we’re in public… I should let him come to terms with who he really is instead of assuming that he already knew. Maybe it’s the stress of the upcoming games before Christmas break, I don’t know. Or perhaps I should stop trying to make excuses for Asher; it’s up to him if he wants to change or be the persona he created to shield himself. Walking through the hallways on Christmas eve, bundled up tightly, I spot him standing at his locker with the usual three assholes around him. We make eye contact, but as usual, he’s the one who looks away first. Sighing, I head to my locker,

  • Enduring Liam: A High School BL Novel   Chapter 33 - Coming Out?

    Asher I’m fucking stupid; all this time I have been worrying about what would happen to Liam and me after high school, and he already came up with a solution. After freezing up that day, I knew that it would be over for us, I knew Liam would never forgive me for not protecting him, and I was right. I’m nothing but a coward, and now as I leave his hospital room, it is even more apparent. I’ve lost him, all because I couldn’t stay true to my promise. Everything is different in the school now; the team are all awkward around one another and especially around Dale. No one has spoken about what has been done, but I feel that this team will implode once they do. All I can do now is run my team ragged on the field, and they’re all taking the punishments. It’s been a week since Liam woke up, a week since he said he never wants to see me again and broke up with me. I haven’t heard a thing from him, and when Dr Marsh comes to visit, she avoids my gaze. Liam must have told her what happened

    Liam What the fuck did Asher just do?! I race towards the bathroom as fast as my beaten body can carry me and enter the nearest stall. Shit, I can’t show my face out there now; they will think I bewitched their Golden Boy! What am I going to do now? Fuck, will the three idiots come after me even harder now, especially since I’m pressing charges this time? Trying to level my breathing, I press my forehead against the door and breathe out a sigh, wincing at the pain. Damnit, I can’t do this. I thought I was strong enough to face everyone again, but today proved me wrong. Asher just came out in front of everyone after I told him that I couldn’t be with him, so what am I supposed to do now? I miss him so fucking much, and his stunt almost made me forgive him right on the spot. God, I want to forgive him; I want him to hold me again, kiss me again and tell me that he loves me. But I can’t allow myself to be a dirty secret, something to be ashamed of. So what if Asher just kissed me in

    Asher My dad’s lawyer just read out his will, and my mom and I drove home in disbelief. Benjamin Prince was an asshole when he was alive but made sure my mother and I were taken care of in the event of his death. My mom now owns all his companies, and when I come of age, his lawyers would transfer 20 million into my account. Basically, everything my dad owned now belonged to my mom. She couldn’t believe he would actually trust her with anything, given how he treated her, but he apologised for stunting her growth in the will. He left no personal letter or note for me, so that tells you just what he thought of his only son. “So, where do you wanna go after school?” My mom asks as we walk up to our house, and I shrug. “He groomed me for OSU, but I would rather not follow in his shadow,” I say, getting out and walking over to open the door for her. “Thanks, baby. Well, you can take a year to decide, if you want? Travel a bit, see the world before you make up your mind?” She asks, unlo

  • Enduring Liam: A High School BL Novel   Chapter 36 - Ego Shouldn't Win In The End

    Liam As Asher walks away from me, I reach out, nearly calling him back but stopping myself in time. Turning my back, I let out a sigh and whispered, “I miss you too,” before walking away from him. He actually parked in front of my house instead of around the block; this itself shows me that he doesn’t care about his name or status anymore; that I’m more important than the rumour that would start. We’re both being fucking stubborn; I know this. I have forgiven him, but I’m just too damn proud to tell him that. It’s been just over seven weeks since it happened, and although my ribs have healed, the pain still sits there. And I don’t just mean from the fracture. I understand his reasons for not breaking up the fight in time or at least telling them to stop, but it doesn’t hurt any less. He said that he loved me, that no one was allowed to touch me and that he would always protect me; so where did all the promises go? Yet, whenever he looks at me, I feel like I’m about to burst with a

    Seth When Asher Prince asked me to be his girlfriend back in high school, I thought it would finally end these fucked up feelings inside of me. I was head cheerleader, smart, up for an Ivy League school and guys saw me as their wet dream personified. Blonde, perky, nice ass and the perfect sized rack. People wanted me, and they wanted to be me; I had it made, boy. Little did they know that I didn’t want any of it, but I was good at faking. I needed to keep up appearances; no one could find out how much I hated myself. I hated my body, I hated my breasts, the curve of my hips, the softness of my voice. I was attracted to men, but I didn’t feel like a woman. I know they say God doesn’t make mistakes, but I do feel like a little error went into making me. I don’t feel like a woman. I don’t feel girly. I hate the skirts, I hate the dresses, the make up and lace panties. The only time I feel like myself is when I strap up my breast

So here I am, pacing the porch while waiting for his Audi to pull into our street.The sadness I felt has been replaced by worry and fear for him. He’s never switched his phone off; we can’t even track him through his cell. Where the fuck could he have gone? Is he safe?“Ash!” I hear Seth call out from inside and am about to go inside when he bursts through the door. “I know where he is! Let’s go! How could I have forgotten?!” He says, then pulls me towards my truck. “I didn’t think he would go to a bar by himself because that’s just not who Liam is!”A bar? Liam is alone at a bar?“Which bar, Seth? How do you know this?” I ask, starting up my truck and pulling out of the driveway. When I look over at Seth, I see him biting

    Asher “Liam!” I run out after Liam, but he’s already speeding away in his car. I call out to him, but I get no reaction whatsoever; he doesn’t even slow down.“Shit! Shit! Shit!” I exclaim, punching the concrete garage wall and running back inside to grab my cell phone. We can’t leave things like this, and I won’t allow us to end things like this even if it is all my fault.Liam doesn’t answer when I try his cell, but I keep on trying even after he’s killed the call.How could I have been so stupid? We spoke about having our anniversary dinner indoors and reliving our first night together, but now it doesn’t look like that will be happening. In fact, it feels like Liam has given up on me, on us.I sink down into the couch, my eyes going to everything he has set up for us and finally landing on my gift.

    LiamHe walks into the living room, swaying a bit on his feet as he does so, and I stand up. “Hey, baby. You've been waiting long?” He asks me in a slurred voice, scratching the back of his hair, and I shake my head. I know he’s seen the balloon because I saw the dread creeping into his eyes as he did.I shake my head and walk towards him, catching a whiff of stale cigarette smoke on his clothing. “You know, Asher, I decided to be patient with you because I knew you loved me and wanted to make things right, but now, I’m not so sure,” I say, scoffing. I hand over the balloon to him and smile, despite my tears.“Last year today, you claimed me as yours after the first game. It was the best night of my life, knowing I had someone who actually wanted me for more than sex this time around. I felt loved; I felt accepted and cared for. It’s amazing how a year can change someone.”Horror flashes

    Asher The after game win always feels like such a rush, and it doesn’t matter if you’re playing it or watching it on TV. When your team scores that winning point and you’re the one to do it, there is nothing quite like it! During the trip back to New Haven, I couldn’t stop thinking about the guy waiting for me at home. I would never have pictured living my college life like this, much less with another guy. I thought I would be at OSU, living it up in my dad’s shadow, pretending to be straight, fucking more girls than I can count and pledging to a frat house. Instead, I’m spending weekends at football practice, actually studying and coming home in the evenings to my boyfriend and ex-girlfriend, who is now transitioning, watching movies and cooking dinners. What a weird turn my life took, and I wouldn't want it any other way. It’s four pm the day after our match, and Coach has decided to treat us to congratulatory drinks. Obviously, I followed

    LiamAsher came home at 4 am last night and got up earlier than me. He’s left for school as well, while I’m sitting here nursing a hangover before my first class at 11. The movie and wine with Seth lasted for two movies, and we both cried like babies, mostly because of the effect the wine was having on us.I shuffle downstairs and see a note from him saying he’ll be home late because of practice tonight, and I sigh. Alone again, then? Should I get used to this?My cell phone ringing catches my attention, and I answer it quickly as it is not helping with my hangover. “Hello? Liam? It’s dark. Are you there?”The voice of my mom breaks through the silence in the house, and I roll my eyes at my stupidity; she’s on a video call with me.“Sorry, mom!” I apologise, then turn the phone to face me, and I smile.
