Bette lowered her head and stared at the study floor, she knew she was in the wrong but she couldn’t help it, she sometimes thought she was addicted to everything she got herself into, but those thoughts were wrong, the real reason was that she wanted to hide, she couldn’t bear her parents finding out, she was young and she was probably wrong, Could your own feelings be wrong? Could you be someone that you really didn’t have a clue you were?, Did it take just what it took her to realize that you have been living a lie?, God she needed a drink, this couldn’t be happening.

Her father continued talking, unaware of his daughters thoughts, “Love, maybe tomorrow you won’t remember this but i want you to hear it anyway, you are Elizabeth Porter, you are heir to your father’s throne, MY throne, you have grown up in a way every child would love to, maybe that was the problem, maybe your mother and I spoiling you made you think you could party through life, that is not what we wanted for you Bette, that is not the daughter you were and i know deep down that is not who you are now” He walked over to Bette’s chair and kneeled between her legs, lifting her face and continuing with a shy smile, “Talk to me, what’s going on, Why have you been acting this way the past months?”

Months, four to be exact, that was the time that had past, four months ago she had met her, for months ago she caused Bette’s world to turn and her heart had grown, four months ago she had seen the beautiful Christina Kennard for the first time and she knew that was it, she could try to deny it, she could even try to fight it but now she knew, she knew that it didn’t matter how many boys she tried to pick up on her way home because there was only one person for her and that was the beautiful blonde she had met four months ago, that person was Christina Kennard. Bette lifted her eyes and smiled shyly at her father while answering.

“Daddy, i’m gay”
