“kids! Come on, your gunna be late for school.” my mother screeched at the top of her lungs. My brothers and I made our way down the stairs as I spoke on my cell phone to kaylen. “I know Spence, I miss you too. I gotta go, bye.”

I hung up the phone and sighed. Why does it have to be so hard? Being gay and coming out wasn’t bad, it was the reaction and after affect that made it horrible.

-flashback-

“mom, I … can I talk to and dad for a minute?” I asked.

“of course sweetie.” my mother said, obviously not noticing my weary expression. They sat down in the living room together in the love seat, making my insides twist and curdle.

“guys…im gay…” I said quietly. My mother just sat there shocked, but my dad, got up and stood in front of me. I winced slightly as he touched my arm. I had been afraid he was gunna hit me, but instead he embraced me tightly whispering tiny reassurances as I cry silent tears into his shoulder.

“alright jokes over.” my mom said coldly. “its not a joke.” I say. She got up suddenly walking towards dad and I stopping abruptly in front of me.

SMACK! My face stung and I grabbed my bruised cheek.

“ you disgust me!” she whispered with venom. My eyes wide with shock, I rushed up stairs and cried into my pillow until I fell asleep. That night my dad died from a crazy shooter in a drug store.

“Spencer!” clay yelled snapping me out of my daze. “huh…what?” I ask agitated.

“we need to go lezbo!” glen said meanly. We walked to the car and drove to my new hell. King high school. When glen finally parked after an hour of us yelling for him to just pick one, we noticed all the students gathering around a little circle of people chanting “fight! fight! Fight!”

“sweet!” yelled glen as he ran to se who was fighting. I ran after him, I was curious after all.

When I got there I saw that it wasn’t a fight between two boys, it was between 2 girls I looked at the scene and one girl was laying on the ground as a pretty Latino was laughing, along with a boy who could be a male model. The girl on the ground shifted, unconsciously, I walked through the crowd and kneeled down next to her. She was absolutely beautiful.
