Connor's POV

I laid in the bed of the guest room just staring at the ceiling. Devon's mother and I had a discussion about me staying and was fine with it. She let me set myself up in the guest room.

It was like midnight and I couldn't bring myself to fall asleep. Everything that just happened was keeping me awake. I sat up in the bed and reached over to the nightstand and grabbed my phone. I got out of the bed and went to the dresser and grabbed a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. I put the clothes and then put on my jacket and grab my earbuds.

I plug in my earbuds and begin to walk out of the room, being as quiet as possible. I walk past Devon's room door and I could hear him mumbling things to himself. I wanted to knock on his door and ask him to take a walk with me but then I remembered what he said earlier.

"Don't touch me." 

"Don't talk to me either."

I turned away from his door and walked to the front door. I unlocked it and walked out into the cool night air. I closed the door and put my earbuds in and began my walk. I didn't know where I was gonna walk to but I just had to get away for a little while.

I walked for about 20 minutes and found myself at the park. I sat down on one of the swings and pushed myself back and forth slightly. I sighed and closed my eyes. I relaxed for a moment before opening my eyes and looking around. I noticed a few people standing over at a nearby bench. Some of them were smoking and chatting with each other but one of them was looking in my direction.

I squinted my eyes to get a better look. When I saw noticed who it was I immediately got up from the swings and started to walk in the other direction. I can't deal with them right now. I heard their evil chuckling before I hear many sets of feet running after me. I took off running trying to get away.

But they were faster. They caught up to me in no time. One grabbed me by the back of my jacket and pulled me back towards them. I was about to scream out for help when one covered my mouth with their hand. I struggled to get away but they were too strong. They restrained my arms behind me.

My heart was beating so hard I thought it would burst. I kept struggling until I was too tired to continue trying. One of the guys laughed. "Now this fag can get what he deserves." Someone threw a punch at me and hit me in the jaw. Another one hit me in the nose. One after another I was punched and kicked and beaten until I was a bloody mess.

I felt faint as they continued to beat me. I coughed up some blood as I stared up at one of the guys. He smirked down at me. "I..hate yo-" he punched me in the face one final time before I completely blacked out.

•••

I woke up with my head pounding. I groaned at the pain. "Looks like he's waking up." I heard a voice say. I opened my eyes and waited for my vision to clear up as I saw several figures surrounding me. We were in a some dark room with no windows. The only source of light was the single bulb hanging from the ceiling.

All of the guys stood there with sinister smiles on their faces. I tried to get away from them but was too slow. One grabbed me off the ground and lifts me into the air by the collar of my shirt. "What should we do with him?" The guy holding me chuckled as he asked.

"I know exactly what will do to him." Another voice said. I turned my head to see who it was.

Elliot.

He walked over and told the boy to drop me. Which the boy did causing my to hit the concrete floor with a loud thud. Elliot instructed another boy to go get something and the boy hurried off quickly. I attempted to try to crawl away but with the pain I was in I could barely get anywhere. Elliot grabbed me up by my arm. "Where you going, fag? We aren't through with you yet."

He twisted my arm behind my back and I yelled out in pain. All the guys laughed. I heard the sound of some kind of heavy metal scrape against the ground. "There." Someone breathed.

"Good." Elliot chuckled. He dragged my body over to the object and I noticed that it was a bucket full of water. Elliot grabbed me by my hair and held my face over the water. "No...pleas-" he dipped me under.

Water filled my nostrils and my mouth. I struggled and fought to get free from Elliot's death grip but to no avail. I was pulled up. I coughed out some water and was dunked back under again. Without a chance to take a breath I was taking in big gulps of water.

For a while this went on. Under. Up. Under. Up.  I struggled for air but only got water.

Every time I came up I heard the evil laughter of all the guys in the room. I was becoming weaker with every dunk. I decided that this was the way I was going to die. And I was going to accept it.

I felt my self go limp as my vision went black.

Third person POV

Elliot noticed how Connor went limp and stopped trying to fight back. He pulled the boy's head from the water and dropped him to the ground. Connor didn't move an inch.

"Hey. Fag. Wake up." He pushed the boy's body with his foot. When the boy still didn't move he got nervous.

"Fuck, Is he dead?" One of Elliot's friends asked in a scared tone. "I think he is." Elliot answered as he backed away from the boys body. Suddenly the whole room went into panic. "What do we do?" One of the guys repeated over and over.

"We need to get rid of his body." Elliot answered. He grabbed the pale boy's body from the ground. "Come on." He instructed as he and the other guys carried his body. "Where are we going to put his body?"
"I don't know." Elliot released a shaky sigh. "How about we hide him in that trash can over there and then we can just get rid of the body later."

"Yeah." Elliot replied. The boys made their way over to the large trash can and dump the body in it before covering him with trash bags. Everyone walked away whispering amongst themselves except for Elliot. He stood there thinking of how bad he felt. He didn't mean to take it as far as to kill the boy.

A large feelings of guilt set over him.

"Hey Elliot! You coming?" A guy asked him. "Uhh yeah!" He wiped his eyes of the tears he didn't realize were even there quickly before turning away from the trash can and running after his friends.
