talk to your parents, let them know what's going on. ask if they'd be willing to help by letting him stay for a few nights. have him call an aunt/uncle/grandparent/etc if your parents aren't down with that. but you have to understand it's only temporary anyway- this needs a much bigger fix than sleeping on your couch.
If Dad doesn't cool down in a couple days, Child Protective Services will have to be called in to handle the situation. A parent can't throw out a 13 year old kid. A 13 year old kid can't live on their own. The situation has to be dealt with.
Meanwhile, be supportive, be positive, be helpful. Get your BF to understand what his part in this was (he's wrong too or Dad wouldn't have done something so crazy). See if you can help him make the first step to fix things at home. Good luck to you!

Call childline immediately:
ChildLine is the free helpline for children and young people in the UK. Children and young people can call us on 0800 1111 to talk about any problem – our counsellors are always here to help you sort it out.
You can call from any phone (even a pay phone) for free. Sometimes they get lots of calls so try again if they don't answer the first time.
Also tell your parents and a teacher at school if you go to the same school as him.
There may be a day or two when he has no where to stay, maybe your parents will let him stay with your family? Or could he sleep over at a friends house?
Good luck xxx

The best advice is I can think of is to go to the police
if he has been physically hurt.
Or he could phone Child-line (0800 1111),
who could help him by phoning agencies for him.
Or phone the social services & speak to a duty officer
(you may have to leave a phone number so they can call you back if they are busy)
My understanding of the law is that social services only help kids who have been assaulted or abused.
If you are on the streets for other reasons they do not have finance.
That may not be true!
My local social services could just by saying that...
There may be a Connections (Connextions?)
office near you,
or an Advisory service for young people EG. 11 - 25 year olds?
Connextions have a few emergency beds if you are lucky enough to live near one of their offices.
If Connections are closed,
is there a relative you can call, or a good family friend
he knows, likes & TRUSTS?
Is there another charity that works with homeless people near you? A church? Crisis? The Salvation Army?
Anyone who could help him practically?
Or try & find somewhere he can stay tonight with his mates that is SAFE.
I think an adult should phone his parents -so they know he is safe &
IF there is NO risk of his parents acting horribly
let them where he is staying.
Then tomorrow, he could tell his Head-teacher, to ask for help.
If possible, stay off the streets & avoid dark places where there are no street lights
& Do NOT accept offers to sleep with wierdo STRANGERS
who might try to pick you up off the streets...
If he is on the streets, his best bet is try to find a squat occupied by kind students or other KIND homeless people
Good Luck XXX

Call child services. Any child under the age of 18 is supposed to be with a parent. His parents could get into big trouble for doing that.

how old is he? if he is the same age tell him to go see social services and have his father questioned to why a kids of his age is on the streets, they may put him in temporary accommodation/foster care until something is sorted, but he should not really be sleeping on the streets, he's too young, it's dangerous out there

First of all, it's against the law for his father to throw him out at that age. Your boyfriend needs to go to Social Services, and they'll help him, and will also deal with his father's criminal behaviour, because it's criminal to throw the boy out as he is a minor.

He needs to contact social services if he's under 16, why not speak to your parents and ask for their help.

Call child services and try to help him out in the meantime, with your parents help!
