Chapter 4 (End)

(Caspers POV)

I like kiko, honestly I do. Theres something about his acceptance that makes me fall head over hills for him. I want to confess that too him once he gets here.

here I am, sat on top of a ledge of a 3 story building. About to confess my love to someone I just met, not even completely sure about my sexuality. Everything that happened so far has lead up to this tho, I've had to conceive my sexuality from others because I'm not ready to come out. What if my parents found out? They have openly expressed how much they hate gays, and how fast they would disown me without hesitation.

I sighed, reminiscing on all the bitter sweet moments I've shared with kiko up to now. Granted they arent amazing ones and there certainly arent alot, but they were memories.I heard someone clear their throat behind me, I turned to see kiko watching me with suspicious eyes. "So what did you ask me here for Casper? Were not exactly on good terms." "Yes I'm aware Kiko, that's one of the things I'd like to adress, my behavior, it wasn't nice of me to treat you like I have especially when all you've tried to do is be nice to me" I stressed, Kikos eyes softened at me. He walked over and pulled me to the ledge slowly, urging me to sit down with him. "Let's talk Cas" he said, I smiled at this new nickname he gave me. "Ok I'll start at where it's really important, Kiko I'm so sorry for how I've been acting. Pushing you away when you're only trying to help me out. Making a scene in front of everyone when we interact.." "Yeah that's about right" he said in a bored tone. I sighed going to grab his hands, he didn't pull away as I rested my hands on top of his, "I want us to be friends, I really do its just.." I paused, and Kiko began to grow impatient. "It's just what? I'm gay? Is that it??" He ripping his hands from mine with an angry expression. "Kiko no! Well..maybe it is" I said scratching the back of my head. "I knew it, you're embarrassed to even be seen with me because I'm gay huh?" He said angrily. "No Kiko wait, please just listen to me I'm trying to explain it right now" I stressed begging him to calm down. "I wasted so much time trying to be your friend, but you're so fucking far into the closet Casper, you can't even allow yourself to be friends with a gay person" he snapped. "What did you say?" I began growing a little angry at his accusation. "Fuck you said it yourself Casper, your parents are extremely homophobic and would disown you in seconds. It makes sense that you wouldn't want to be friends with me." Kiko said laughing dryly.

I felt my hands ball into a face as my jaw clenched. "Kiko let me explain please, if you'd just shut up and let me get one word out I promise some things could make sense" I said through gritted teeth. "Fine. Spit it out." Kiko said, he was done. I sighed and calmed down, preparing myself to confess that I like, no I love Kiko. "Kiko, ever since I first met you I felt something different, something amazing. You made me feel special and I know I want to be with you." I confessed, "what?" He questioned. "Kiko Amari, I love you and I wanna be with you, will you be my boyfriend?" He paused…

"No"

"What?"

"My answer is no, why would I ever be with you Casper? You're homophobic, you're so fucking deep in the closet I could be asking you to pick out my clothing for the day!" He yelled

"I don't understand you don't  want to be with me?" I said confused, anger growing slowly inside of me.

"No! Why would I want to be?! Would you even come out? Would we be able to hold hands or just be together out in public?!" He yelled. I paused, not being able to answer those questions, I couldn't possibly come out.

"I-" I didn't answer. I heard Kiko sigh, I looked up to meet his disappointed gaze. 

"I will never love you Casper, you are the bane of my existence and we've only known each other a day and a half. You've managed to make me hate you faster than I've been poor my entire life." He said viciously, my heart burned as my anger grew and grew. I stood up tears running down my face.

"You're just a homophobic, insensitive to anyone's feelings but your own, back stabbing piece of shit! How could I EVER possibly date you?!" He yelled.

I pushed him…

He stumbled back on the ledge…

He fell off…

He screamed...

He hit the ground...

He's dead.

(No ones POV)

Casper ran home to his house like the coward he is. He didnt even stop to check on Kikos dead body. Kiko never came home to his mom, which lead to a search for him conducted by police in the area. They found his dead body, splattered all over the concrete. Kikos mom couldnt take it, she cried and cried and cried. She had just lost the only person that she had left of course.

After an autopsy was conducted, it was found out that Kiko did in fact fall off of a roof. A funeral was served a month after, his body was cremated so his mother could keep the ashes.

Kikos mom tried to move on, she found a boyfriend who she felt happy with. She lived with him for 2 years before they got married.

That didn't last very long. Poor Kikos mom came home, and found that her spouse had a mistress. She left but before then, she went a grabbed as many pills as she can find.

She went back to the spot they found Kikos dead body. She took the pills and laid against the alleyway. Kikos mother died of an overdose.

The End.
