Jonas walked back home feeling filled with pure joy, he had secretly hoped that the giver would have him leave early more often now, he opened his door, and tried to hide the joy that spread across his face, he could hide it as something to do with his job,

His mother was setting the table and making dinner, and his father was tending to Gabriel in the other room, little snug a sweet melody in the room over, dancing along the way. Jonas’s mother swiftly turned around and smiled,

“Jonas, your home a little late”, he commented, worrying jonas, “Oh, the giver had me stay a little later”, he nodded and he sighed silently, he didn't know how many questions would be asked at the dinner table, Soon it was time for dinner, jonas sat at the far end of the table shuffling uncomfortably in the wooden chair, Finally after what seemed like a lifetime, his father chipped up, “So jonas how was your day?”, He swallowed the spit that was in his throat, and casually speaking

“, i-i'm not really allowed to talk about what i do with the giver, but it was normal, nothing too exciting happened”, he said nervously, his parents were starting to pick up on his strange behavior, but said nothing,

Oh god, oh god, oh god. I thought to myself. They know. They know something's off. I tried to keep calm, but that only made things worse, i asked to be excused from the table after only eating a small portion of my food, I speedwalked to the bathroom and locked the door, i slid down the wall and tried to hide my shaky breathing,

after what seemed like forever, i finally seemed to calm down and be somewhat normal, I went down to my room, and tried to sleep, I thought i would finally be able to fall asleep, when i heard a small Tapping at my window, I sat up in my bed, and held my breath, the noise had finally gone away, and i exhaled,
but as soon as i tried to close my eyes again, i heard another “Plick, Plick, Plick”, at the window and this time i decided to get up, yawning slowly, and rubbing my eyes, I looked down over at my window, and i saw her standing outside with small pebbles in his hand, i opened my window slowly

“Urg!, finally!!, do you know how long I've been throwing these?”he chuckled. I looked down at him again, “Wait, asher, what are you doing here?”, he laughed “That seems to be the question you've been asking me all day jones”,
I blushed at the nickname and looked over at him, he lifted up his hand for me, and i not-go-quietly jumped out of the window, we ran down the streets together, laughing, and holding hands. Everything seemed perfect at that moment. We sat in a grassy field, and he held my hand as we looked up at the stars, he looked into my eyes, he held his other hand out and cupped my face, kissing me. I felt like everything I had ever wanted was coming true. The cool air made our breath visible, and all I could think about was him.

After the course of a few months me and asher had been sneaking out and getting away from our jobs to see each other, more and more my parents had noticed the change in my behavior, how i was slightly tired, and constantly happy, I had kept insisting it was nothing, but they were persistent on something going on,

The topic of me possibly liking a girl got brought up, and I blushed, thinking about asher. It DEFINITELY wasn't a girl, They asked about a girl i used to hang out with, i denied it, knowing it was most definitely not her. My parents seemed to get the hint that i was in fact not in love with a girl, my mother looked puzzled “jonas, it's not a boy, is it?” I stood there silent, I tried to say something but I was speechless, I had been caught being in love with a boy.

My father sighed and left the room, my mother looked at my not believing what h=she was seeing, “Its a boy isn't it”, she said her voice was shaking, “Mom- i,,” i tried to start and talk to her, but she got the hint and walked out, I panicked and ran out the door, running to ashers house, not even knocking when i got to their front door, i burst through and ran into ashers room and tried to explain it to him, my voice was breaking and i was full on sobbing at that point, he held my face and tried to calm down,but he too starting crying eventually,

they knew what was going to happen to them, either one of them, or both of them were going to be released.
The two boys held each other in their arms, basking in their possible final moment together, not saying a word and sitting in somewhat comfortable silence, Jonas half zipped up jacket and messy converse on ashers neat bed, marking it with dirt and any of the other things that had stuck to his shoes, Asher felt claw like nails piercing into his back, jonas squeezed him even tighter, he didn't mean to dig his nails in, it was subconscious.

There was a slight sob bettweet the boys, both of them had no idea when it would happen, They stayed in eachothers arms until Asher's mother walked up the stairs, eerily not making a sound. Asher jumped up from the tap on the door that was vaguely open, he pushed back Jonas, leaving him on his bed and he sat up, His eyes filled with fear when his mother opened the door, motioning Jonas to hide, he did poorly. “M-mom, i- uh. Why are you in my room?” his voice was shaking and his fist was balled up.

“Asher,” She spoke in an extremely sweet but condescending voice that sent chills down down both ashers and jonas spine, There was some banter between the two, she knew about jonas, how the two had been seeing each other more and more,

Jonas cupped his mouth and slid down the closet wall he was “Hidden” in, his body was filled with fear, one of his hands was on the floor of the closet, he gripped the carpet ever so slightly, hoping and praying to god that he wouldn't be heard while asher's mother was in the room. He squeezed his eyes tight and tried not to cry more than he had already.

Jonas didn't know how long he had spent in his closet, but eventually Asher was dragged out of his room, only leaving Jonas in his closet. He didn't want to know what was going to happen to him.

Jonas opened ashers window it creaked loudly opening, he didn't have time to look back when he jumped out of his window, landing on his legs, they aches and a sharp pain admitted from them, but he got up and ran, he ran all the way to the giver,

tears streaming down his face as he ran, his headphones cords leaked out of his pockets, he didn't have time to put them away, they slipped out and he tripped on them, his face hitting the concrete. There was a scrape across his cheek, but he got up wincing at the pain and blood streaming down his face, he looked like a mess, his eye bags, the gash on his face, and the tears mixing with the blood, his hair ruffled and stuck to his sweat filled forehead.

He had gotten to the community, he didn't want to go into the room, to see anyone except asher, why did he think he could go and sneak around with another boy?, thoughts like that filled his mind to the brink,
His face and legs hurt, along with the constant headache he had had for most of the time he had been crying, He went to open the door,

But the sound of a loud gunshot echoed through the room he was about to walk into, he tried to think rationally, “Maybe it's an elder?No they wouldn't be shot like that”, he kept thinking, when it hit him, It wasn't an elder, it wasn't anyone he didn't know, it was asher.
