Chapter 1: Mob

Most of the world was becoming homophobic. It was no longer safe for Gay, Lesbian, and bisexual people. There were, in every town, safe houses. This is where most of the unsafe people lived. Still a few tried to resume a normal life and there were hoppers who went from town to town just trying to get a fair chance at life.

Marie was a hopper, she had just moved to Clock Tower, Montana. She was running from a huge amount of people who were shouting various obscenities at her. Suddenly she plowed into someone knocking them down.

“Sorry, I was just,” Marie started but the obscenities grew louder and the person got up. It was then Marie realized she recognized the person. He was one of her brother’s friends. “Kris,” I asked.

“Err…yeah,” He replied.

“Do you know where a safe is?”

“Follow me,” He replied running with Marie’s arm in his hand

They finally arrived a grave yard and they entered the coroners house. After running up two flights of stairs he entered an elevator that took them down 8 flights under the ground.

“Kris, I’m Andrew’s sister,” Marie stated though she looked much different from when she had last seen Kris. Her hair was cut short and had a blue streak in it. She wore black baggy clothes and had gothic makeup on so you couldn’t really see her face.

“Really, I wouldn’t believe it,” Kris said but Marie knew he did.

“Kris, you have some explaining to do,” Marie said. Last time she saw Kris he was a huge homophobe, and only people who weren’t homophobes knew about where the safes were.

“SO do you, what is a 13 year old doing on her own?”

“Kris, I asked you first!”

“Fine, I’m Gay okay,” he said. Marie knew that she just wanted to here him say it after all she hadn’t seen him in eight years.

“I was thrown out of my house ‘cause I was bi,” Marie replied looking at her feet. She took a step to hid behind Kris when she heard people coming.

It a man Kris’s age and girl Marie’s own age. The man was Kris’s age she assumed. Marie was only a hopper because her brother was thrown out for being bi as well and she made a vow to herself to find him.

“Marie!” Exclaimed the girl. She peaked around Kris and saw Lilly, her girlfriend. Lilly wasn’t gothic as you’d expect actually she was a happy bouncy teen. Marie stepped around Kris and hugged Lilly.

Marie looked over Lilly’s shoulder to see who the guy was. She looked him up and down. He looked slightly familiar but she couldn’t place who he was. Marie was snapped back to reality as she realized that Lilly was crying. Marie rubbed circles on her lovers back and began to whisper soft nonsense comforting phrases.

Now looking at the couple you would automatically think that Marie who is a semi-gothic, suicidal, cutter would be the one who has break downs. However it is the ever bubbly Lilly who cries all the time, Lilly who gets angry quickly, and Lilly whom is scared easily.

“Whose that?” Marie finally asked looking at Kris.
