Elias has been friends with his new neighbor, Alexander, who has moved from a town, Brussels in Belgium, whom he also has fallen in love with. Alexander doesn’t know, and Elias wants to keep it that way. Yet, they kissed once and Elias in denial of who he is, him being gay, he began to ignore Alexander. pushing him away when he asked for a hug, etc.

It’s October 31st in Belgium, Netherlands in a small town. It’s night time, and wonderfully, Halloween! Elias is a knight, while Alexander is the Joker. The night already started off tense between Elias and Alexander. At a game of spin the bottle when night has already hit, Alexander kissed another boy, which made Elias abruptly stand up from the circle and leave the area. Now outside, Elias was walking away from the backyard they had been in.

“Elias.” Elias’s friend, Lukas called out. “Elias, wait up!” He called again

“what? isn’t it hilarious?” Elias taunted sadly as he turned to face Lukas, his other friends and Alexander close behind, tears already welling in Elias’s eyes. “I’m not like him, I’m not gay.” Elias told his friend, Lukas, as he looked over at Alexander, who was watching with an unreadable expression.

“Stop acting like an idiot! Alexander is also our friend!” Lukas protested in Elias’s face. Elias’s eyes flickered to Alexander watching once more as he quickly responded.

“I don’t care about him, Lukas.” Elias said loudly, turning away to leave when Lukas reached out to stop him. Elias let out a grunt, and pushed Lukas to the ground. Alexander quickly went to help Lukas, before turning to face Elias.

“Why didn’t you just stay in fucking Brussels?! none of this would’ve happened!” Elias yelled out at Alexander. Alexander took a short second, before he harshly pushed him down, along with the brutal words-

“Fuck you, Elias!”

Elias stayed on the cold ground, looking up at Alexander with tears streaming down his face, watching as Alexander backed away then turned to leave, soon every one of his other friends leaving, too.
