Ah, Mister Andrews, "kata kepala sekolah. "Saya percaya Anda tahu Ibu Hunt."Aku disambut wanita menangis dan kemudian duduk gugup di kursi di sampingnya. Seribu pikiran membanjiri pikiran saya. Keheningan tergantung berat. AKU Mfidgeted dengan jari saya, pergeseran gugup di kursi saya."Anda tidak dalam setiap masalah," Mister Ferguson meyakinkan saya. "Ibu Hunt adalahdi sini karena dia percaya Conner telah melarikan diri dari rumah. Dia tidak datangrumah semalam.""Please," berburu ibu menangis. "Jika Anda tahu apa-apa, apa pun sama sekali.""I ... ... Tidak tahu di mana... Maksudku, aku benar-benar belum berbicara dengannyakarena... ""Ya," kata ibu Hunt. "Dia adalah terganggu bahwa kalian berdua bertengkar atausesuatu. ""Apa yang terjadi, ibu Hunt," kepala terganggu. "Melakukan sesuatuterjadi di rumah yang mungkin menyebabkan anak Anda melarikan diri?"Aku tahu ia adalah marah karena ia diskors dari tim. Dia mencintaibola kaki. Aku tahu dia mengambil yang keras.""Dia mencintai sepak bola," saya memberitahu kepala sekolah. "Saya adalah Les dia dalammatematika sehingga dia bisa tinggal di tim."Saat itulah aku ingat bagaimana ayahnya selalu kepadanya tentang tinggal ditim. Aku bisa mendengar suara keras ayahnya di kepalaku. Bagaimana ituseluruh situasi membuat Conner benar-benar gugup. Seperti ia takut untukmengecewakan ayahnya."Saya tidak ingin mengganggu," saya berbicara."Tidak, ada apa?" jawab ibu Hunt."Bagaimana Apakah Mr Hunt mengambil berita tentang Conner di suspensi dari tim?""Saya tidak tahu. Aku berada di kelas latihan ketika suami saya datang rumah. Diatravels a lot in his job. He got in Sunday afternoon. When I got home,Conner had left. I thought he went to a friend's house. Now that I thinkabout it, my husband was acting distant that night.""Has," I started, and then hesitated. "Has Mr. Hunt ever hit Conner?"Mrs. Hunt looked into the tissue folded in her hands on her lap. Lebih lagitears swelled in her eyes. Her silence, her hesitation clearly answeredpertanyaan."He's a good man," she defended. "He gets stressed from his job. He onlywants the best for Conner.""Mrs. Hunt," the principal asked sternly. "Has your husband ever hit yourson?""Yes," she said softly."Abusively?" the principal continued."He never meant to hurt Conner," Mrs. Hunt broke down into tears."Thank you, Tyler," Mister Ferguson said to me as he picked up the phone. "Ms. Jackson, get me the police."I shut the door quietly behind me. Walking past Ms. Jackson's desk, I sawher dialing the police as instructed. I held back my tears. Hatikubroke for Conner. He is such a wonderful person. How could a father abusehis son ... over football? My body shivered stressfully as I thought of myown dad beating me when I broke the news of being gay. He must be feelingthat same stress.Stres.Like a bolt of lightening, I knew where Conner was. Although school stillhad a few more hours before the day would be over, I ran out the frontdoors. I retrieved my bicycle and pedaled off in the direction of thetaman. Conner went to his treehouse, his secret treehouse, when he wasmenekankan.I couldn't pedal fast enough. Several times my feet rolled off the pedals. I hastily recovered and continued, speeding past stop signs and throughstoplights. From our many talks, I know he had been through a lot. Tadi sayasure he had to be there.I raced through the park and past the 'no bicycles' sign onto the dirt paththat led into the woods. Trying to spot familiar landmarks, I skidded to aberhenti. Letting my bike fall to the ground, I ran into the thicket of trees. Wanting to get to the treehouse, I was hit severely in the face, an arm,and right on my junk by branches that jutted out in this direction anditu.Finally, I came into the clearing!(((((5)))))To my horror, I saw Conner sitting on a limb of the tree, one thatsupported his treehouse. Tied around the branch was a rope, its end waswrapped around Conner's neck. Conner sat on the branch, shouldersslouched, staring into his lap. He must have heard me running, because helooked up at me sadly."Why did you come?" tanyanya lembut."Kenapa?" I questioned, trying to catch my breadth.Conner looked down at me. I could see on the ground, he had cut up hisfootball jacket. His feet dangled. He looked up at the treetops,breathing in deeply."What's the use?" tanyanya. "I played football ...""I know," I interrupted. "You love football.""No," he said plainly, shaking his head. "I played because my dad lovedfootball.""Shit," I said, realizing Conner was, like me, living a secret life. "Please meet me in the treehouse ... so we can talk.""Kenapa?" he scoffed."Because," I said, raw emotion swelling in me, "because, I love you."I went over to the rope ladder and climbed it cautiously. I begged Conneragain to come into the treehouse. I needed to talk to him. To my relief,he loosened the noose about his neck and slid over the branch and came intothe treehouse. I gasped as I saw Conner close up. My bruises were nothingcompared to his."Your father do that?" Saya bertanya.Conner nodded. I scooted over and sat next to him. To comfort him, I putmy arm around his shoulder. He leaned his head into chest, and started tomenangis. I rocked him a while, letting him vent fully his emotions. Diafinally wiped his eyes and nose with his left hand."Must think I'm weird," he said looking up at me."I don't," I assured him. "Life makes me cry sometimes too.""You said you love me," Conner said. "I have heard that a lot from people. But I always suspected it was not me, but what I was, they loved.""Not me," I added. "I love you no matter what balls you play with."We both laughed and then stretched against one of the walls. I allowed himto relax in the silence that enveloped between us. I reached my hand over,and placed it on top of his. I squeezed his hand firmly, a show ofdorongan. He sniffed a few times, wiping his eyes."What will happen now?" Conner asked."Before I left the principal's office," I started."What were you ... ""Your mom was there trying to find out where you might be. During ourtalk, she let it out that your dad was physically abusive to you. Ketika Akuwas leaving, Ferguson was getting the police involved. I think your dad'sgoing to be away for a while.""Damn," Conner responded. "But that's not what I meant.""Hah?""I meant, what will happen with us?" he asked raising our bonded hands.Aku tersenyum. He firmly squeezed my hand back."Can I be honest?" Saya bertanya."Of course.""When you ran out of here a few weeks ago before we actually ... you know. Well, I saw the trunk over there and looked through it.""Oh," he said. "You found my porn and shit?""Ya," kataku. "But even more, I found a notebook with pictures drawn insaya t. "I went over to the chest and took out the notebook. I flipped to the pagesthat had the pictures of the butterflies and flowers in various stages ofmekar. I turned the notebook to him. He looked up at me."You recognized it?" tanyanya."How long after our talk did you do these?""Shit, the next couple of days in class.""That's the real reason you were avoiding me. Because if you avoided me,you wouldn't have to face ..." I stopped. I then pointed at the page. "Which flower is you? I mean right now."Conner swallowed hard. To point to a particular flower would be to admithe had feelings for me. He raised his finger to the page, letting it fallon a full bloom."You know, flowers close at night. I think I was living in the night, andit's hard to see when it'a dark. I was not admitting to myself who I wasand was not. But I think the daylight has come. Saya melihat sekarang. Clearly.""Apa yang kau lihat?" Saya bertanya.Conner looked into my eyes, into my soul. He scooted next to me andwrapped his arms around me. Our hearts beat together, thumping a song allmereka sendiri. He pulled me close to him. He moved in, pressing his lipsbibirku. I wrapped my arms around him as we laid back onto the woodenfloor of the treehouse.I was lost in a world that knew only love, and shared it willingly withthis beautiful boy. His mouth opened and our tongues met, playfully pokingand swirling around each other. Our saliva mixed, allowing us to becomeintoxicated by the taste of love. Our hands caressed each other's body. He ran his hands through my long hair. He broke the kiss, looking at me."Thank you," he whispered, "for being patient with me and not flitting offto another flower.""You knew I was talking about you?""Yeah," he confessed. "Or, at least, I hoped."We laughed a little. Holding our embrace, we kiss each other passionately. He moved to different areas of my face; kissing my forehead, nibbling onmy earlobe. My body was alive for the first time in my young life. Tadi sayanyaman, aku merasa senang."Seseorang mendapatkan bekerja," kata Conner, mengusap tangannya atas selangkangan saya."Anda akan dapat memenuhi mimpi," kataku."Anda berpikir tentang saya saat Anda...""Ya.""Yah, karena kita sedang jujur, saya memiliki berkhayal tentang Anda juga.""Membuat senang saya," bisikku.
