Chapter 10: I Hate You

	Monday's suck...

	It was like things had been building to a boiling point and now it
felt like I was about to explode. I had to do something because for the
past few weeks I had spent the majority of my time with Ian, but this past
weekend I trained some more with my dad and did absolutely everything in my
power to forget he even existed.

It felt like there was a hole in my heart and it was aching and I don't
know why I was hurting like this. Part of me was chalking up to teenage
hormones but another part of me refused to let go. The mere thought of Ian
sent Icy chills down my spine.

Speaking of which those chills and feeling like I was being doused with icy
water were only getting worse and I didn't what it was or what I meant and
I was beginning to seriously consider going to see a doctor.

Monday came as both a blessing and a curse as I would more than likely run
into Ian again but at the same time I wanted to kick his face in. I had to
do something it was like those chills I felt every time I saw him were
making me do so.

	He ignored me through homeroom and in the halls he was being even
more overtly disgusting with Amanda. During that time I formulated my
plan. Just before lunch I'd make my move and drag him into the bathroom and
confront him. It sounded simple enough in my head so when the bell rang and
throngs of kids made their way to the cafeteria. I spotted Ian and I rushed
over to him

	"We need to talk" I said

 	I ushered him into the nearest bathroom and shut the door behind
us. I took a moment to make sure the room was empty and I looked him square
in the eyes

	"What do you want?" Ian asked me

	"I hate you" I said looking at Ian holding his gaze

	"What?" Ian asked

	This wasn't going the way I planned.

	"I said I hate you... you're a coward... I thought you were brave
enough to be my friend that you'd be brave enough to admit your own
feelings, but I guess I was wrong."

	"Is that all you wanted?" Ian asked

	That same feeling passed over me and I felt ice around my heart and
it felt like I was drowning.

	"I want you to look me square in the eyes and tell me that for not
for a single second that you ever were in love with me?"

	"I never loved you" Ian said

	"Very well" I said turning to leave

	"Raven..."

	I saw the tears well up in his eyes

	Why are you doing this?" I asked "to you and to me? I know and I
can feel it with every fiber of my being that you feel something for me and
you're holding back, I want to know why." I said

	"Dustin, some things just can never be, if I allowed this to happen
I would only succeed in hurting you even more. Please believe me." he said

	"How?" I asked "how could it be worse than this, I feel like I've
been doused in a bucket of ice water and I get chills every time I see
you. I feel funny all over and things have been weird." I said

	"I wish I could help you, that there was someone to help you get
through this..." Ian said suddenly becoming lost in thought. He surprised
me when he suddenly smiled and then his face returned to being completely
blank "I'm sorry" he said

	"I guess this is goodbye then..." I said walking over to him and I
planted a small kiss on his lips. It was short and tender.

	Ian's tears flowed down his face. He stopped by the paper towel
dispenser and wiped his face and tried to regain his composure as he left
the bathroom and I walked into the corner stall and wept.

	It was kind of weird sitting in that stall. I still felt that icy
chill spread all over me as almost as if it were trying to comfort me. I
felt the pain in my chest tighten and that icy feeling wash around it.

	I stared at the walls of the stall and for a very brief moment
imagined it as my tomb and a part of me had died, but I was never big into
suicide as I was far too scared of death to try anything stupid.

	So here I was crying my eyes out, I was never particularly
religious but I sat in that bathroom stall and I prayed, for the first time
I ever really prayed for anything.

	`God... Jesus...anyone, you made me this way for a reason. But I do
not understand the purpose. This is all so painful to me and it feels like
I am dying. I need you, I need you right now... I need your help. Please
help me, help ease the pain. Give me some sort of sign, any kind of
sign... to let me know that things will eventually end up right? Please
god... why am I like this, what are these feelings for?" I asked "amen"

The icy chill that I had been feeling disappeared and I momentarily calmed

Suddenly I heard the door to the bathroom open and my heart started
pounding into my chest. I heard a voice that will forever haunt my soul.

	"His faggot ass wasn't in lunch he's got to be in here!" I heard
Corey say

	"There's nowhere to run now" I heard one of Cory's friends say

	It at these moments time seems to slow down and ideas coalesce into
greater pictures and with the emotions I basically came to the conclusion
that I no longer had the will to fight anymore. I had given up and even
that chill I felt when I went into my focused place had given up with me.

	I got up off the toilet and opened my stall door

	"I'm right here!" I said loudly

	Corey turned and looked at me

	"There you are faggot" he said

	"Here I am" I said

	"Nowhere to hide now" his friend leered

	"I'm not going to hide" I said

Cory grabbed my shoulders and I saw his arm go back and felt the fist
connect with my face and then the work faded to black.

	I opened my eyes to see myself standing in the bathroom where I
just had been before. Glancing around I noticed that the furthest stall had
the door open. I saw Corey standing over me kicking me repeated everywhere
he could. I waited as Corey pulled down my pants and took out a dowel from
shop class and he quite forcefully shoved it into my ass.

	Instantly a torrent of blood erupted from my punctured hole and
they resumed kicking me. I was sure I heard some ribs crack.

 	Suddenly I heard a crash behind me and saw Ian come rushing into
the bathroom.

	Corey turned and raised his bloody fists but was suddenly thrown
back by a kick to his head. Knocking him out cold as he hit the wall, the
others weren't as lucky as they tried fighting too. One of them got their
arm broken and the other one had his knee dislocated. Ian rushed past them
and into the stall

	"NO NO NO!!!" Ian yelled

	I stood behind him and glanced down to the floor. I realized I was
looking at my own body. Blood was all over its face and coming out its nose
freely. There were bruises all over its side exposing it when his shirt had
somehow managed to come off the worst was the stick violating it at an odd
angle with the blood pouring down its legs.

	"Dustin can you hear me!" Ian yelled touching my face

	"Yes" I said from behind him

	Seeming to ignore me, Ian pushed his fingers into the body's neck
and put his ear over the face

	"Oh my god he's not breathing" Ian said

	"Please Dustin come back!" Ian placed his hands over the body's
heart and started CPR.

	"OWW" I said from behind him "I felt that"

	Ian started putting breaths into my lungs

	"DUSTIN YOU CAN'T DIE... PLEASE GOD... PLEASE... I LOVE HIM...I
LOVE HIM!"

	With the sound of rushing water I felt myself falling towards the
floor to my body and with that crashing sound in my ears I succumbed to the
darkness again.



	"Please let me go" I heard a voice say

	`Let me go' I thought

	"I want to be with him" the voice said again

	`All I wanted was to be left alone' I thought



.................................................................



	Well this is the end of Part 1 of Raven, but don't worry there is
plenty more. Big changes are coming for Dustin and hopefully they are for
the better. I want to take a moment and send a big thanks my
reviewers. Aditus, Chris, Dew, Darryl, Daniel, James, Jordane, Ken,
Michael, Nicolas, S.E. Sam, Scott, Tommy and Tracey. It really is your
positive messages that keep me motivated and writing.

	Next on the list; I realize there are some errors, and I want to
thank y'all who have taken the time to point out some of the larger
ones. They are being addressed and at some point in the future I will be
posting a PDF of a finalized version replacing the draft that is
here. Please don't let that discourage you from reading. Writing is a
process and I am glad that you guys are a part of it.

	Finally... YES this is a Fantasy story. Making the story realistic
in the beginning was completely intentional; the idea is that I want the
story to feel real. It is my hope that you will continue to enjoy the story
as it keeps getting progressively stranger.


Thank you all from the bottom of my heart
