It seemed that Drake was not done with the story. "But it seemed there were some people ready to martyr themselves on the cause I and ended up in the home of a loving couple. They were kind and understanding I was probably 15 at the time and finally lived in a nice home with a perfect school all dressed up in nice clothes and fed at normal times. Had my own bed even and they were patient with my twitchy habits. I started dating a guy at the time, I knew I was gay for a long time he was older and while he was hot he was pretty useless and broke. The sex was great and he would pick me up from high school but then the couple found out about us. Turns out their Christian beliefs didn't align with men loving men so they said I was going off to the pray the gay away camp the next day." He smirked, "otherwise my soul will burn in hell right? For all the dick I sucked. Anyways, I wasn't about that so I escaped out the window to beg my boyfriend for help. He told me he didn't have a place for me to crash and was broke himself so there was nothing be could do. " Shifting around on the pillow Drake got a thoughtful look.<br/><br/>"Mistakes of my youth. Anyways that's when I realized that you can enlist in the military if you have a parents premission at 16. It wasn't har to fake it and the recruitment office was all too happy to sign my naive ass up to be shipped off to Vietnam. I figured it was going to be one Hell and I might as well trade it for another. Stupid really... War is a terrible thing and does terrible things to people and what I witnessed humans do and was ordered to do myself I was sure my soul wasn't worth salvaging then. But I was a quick and eager learner at the time too happy to take marching orders and bend over any time it was demanded. Literally and metaohically. Kept my popularity high enough to have get a grenade thrown in my tent or getting some of the worst duty." Drake could tell that his words were effecting Gabe but it was his reality and be wanted the angel to see it. To see why he was a bad idea.
