Tina and Amy stood at the front of the school assembly hall as Mr Hunter was talking to the full school.

“Amy from the centre wants to speak to you all so show some respect and don’t speak when she’s talking.” Mr Hunter explained

Amy walked over to the podium

“hi guys…I’m not going to lie to you all or sugar coat it…you all know that’s now my style…Josh was murdered…he was murdered for being himself because someone couldn’t handle it…A talented 16 year old boy murdered for not hiding who he is…I’m absolutely horrified and disgusted and above all I’m entirely gutted…I’ve worked with Josh for nearly 7 years, He has such a promising life ahead of him wither it was basketball…music…whatever he decided….But that was stole from him. Not just one life was damaged yesterday several were…My little brother Nathan a junior, 12 year old found him, That picture will haunt Nathan and his friends for years to come…even all their life…I don’t know… Just because someone is Gay, Bi whatever doesn’t mean they are going to jump on you, infact most of the time when they find out your straight they back off, Being Gay isn’t a disease, it isn’t contagious it’s who you are, still normal people…I’m gay, I don’t hide it, I’ve been in a relationship with the same person nearly 8 year and I’d say I’m pretty normal”

Everyone was all listening carefully; Josh’s friends were sitting tears streaming down their faces.

“No-one can take back what happened yesterday I just really hope it makes people wake up and get a grip of reality…Josh’s friends, family, family and loved ones all need to suffer the consequences of this, Myself, Jess, and all the staff at the centre will be available around the clock this week if anyone needs to talk or just get away from things…Jacqui has also took time this week from her job incase anyone wishes to speak to her…I am aware she has a fan club…We will do our best and support everyone through this…Thanks for listening guys”

“AMY!” Liam shouted

“Yep?”

“Can we do something special to celebrate Josh’s memory?”  Liam asked

“What like?” Amy asked interested
