Alice: ?Hope and you? I don?t understand why can?t she hang with both of you??
Will: ?You know?we just hang with different people now, and my friends don?t really associate with her or the people that she hangs out with.?
Alice: ?You?re kidding right? Please tell me that you are not dissing one of your oldest friends for a bunch of kids you just met.? she says letting her disappointment come through in her voice.
Will: ?You don?t know what it is like mom?I swear.? he says staring out the window.
Alice: ?What don?t I know? What it is like to want to be ?popular? with all of the ?cool? kids? Pretending to be someone I am not so that others will like me. No I don?t know what that is like at all.? she says tapping him on the shoulder so he turns and looks at her. ?Believe it or not I know what you are going through; and even if you don?t believe it now everyone goes through what you are going through at least once in their lives.
Will: ?Yeah. Can we just go home please.? he says as Alice starts to pull out of the driveway of the high school.
Alice: ?Sure, let?s go home dear son of mine.? she says and pats his leg.
Meanwhile on the way to the Junior High School?
Sam was really enjoying the short walk over to the junior high school with Hope. Hope was cooler than Sam thought; if that was even possible and it was turning out that they had a tremendous amount in common.
Sam: ?So Ethan?is he your boyfriend??
Hope: ?Eww?No. Ethan?s my cousin; we are really close, more like brother and sister than anything. Plus he is only 13.? she says pausing for a second to ponder weather or not to tell Sam that she is a lesbian. (under her breath) ?Here goes nothing.? she says and let?s out a sigh. ?Hey Sam?I uh?have to tell you something.? she says and stops walking.
Sam: ?What?? she says and stops walking as well.
Hope: ?Well I know that you?re cool with all of the adults in my life being lesbians but are you??

I have missed this story. Good luck with your family. Stay strong, and follow your heart. Thanks!!
thank you for posting again…pls post when you can…we’ll wait
This is a great update. I’ve been looking forward to seeing your return for a while… so thanks for the installment. Be strong, brave and courageous with coming out to your family.
pls post again soon.. i love this story..
This is a great story. I think, nah, I know if you can tell stories like these you’ll find the perfect words for ye folks…good luck…Peace
please post again soon. i like this story :)
k, i just read the author’s note. best of luck w/coming out. if you need someone else to talk to drop me a line at falafelgirl@gmail. My folks are ultra conservative christians as well.
Welcome back, missed this story/ Be brave
I wish you the best of everything in your journey with your family. Be strong and do what feels right. BTW loving the story.
You tell this story so well, glad you are back. I wish you all the best with your family.
Maybe Tina will show up an recognize her as Bette’s
I have been your shoes and I know how hard it can be. I hope that your family accepts you more than mine has. In fact mine has never accepted me as who I am. It just is left on the back burner most of the time and of course nothing is said. I guess that it is better than being cut out altogether (I guess). I will be thinking of you and praying that it goes well for you. I was glad to see your story. Sorry that you have been sick and hope that you stay healthy. It is funny that Sam has put it together that Hope’s mom is the one that Bette refuses to talk about. Maybe the girls can hook up those two stubborn women.
Alice nearly had me rolling on the floor with laughter. Wen she said to call her Al I kept hearing Paul Simon singing “You can callllllllll meeeeeeeeee Aaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllll!” Maybe Will got knocked down a notch or two and will quit being such a jackass. Good luck with the family. :)
thank you for the update and I just want to say I really enjoy this story.
hey…wow it was like u were MIA or somethin…great update like always…good luck with ur fam and all…everythin will be fine!!! : )
I so love this story!!!!!! Please Post more Soon!!!! Can’t wait for Tina and Bette to see each other again!
Been waiting for this update, can hardly wait until B&T meet face to face. Please don’t have them get angry with each other or all dramatic. Let them be civil to each other with that unmistakable spark betweem them that they both recognize and intend to act on. We need LOVE, not anger and recriminations. It is in the past and let it stay there, let them be in the here and now. Let them get back together and appreciate what they have together because it has never died. Thanks for the post.
Oh so sorry. Meant to tell you to stay strong and stick to your guns. It is your life and you have to be happy with it, no one else. Good luck.
I’ve missed this story, welcome back! Well, Good luck and stay strong!
All the best with your family. Be true to yourself. Can’t wait for future posts. This is a great story.
Enjoying this story.Good luck with your family…may the force be with you!
Nice to hear from you again. keep it going it’s a great story.If you follow your heart then you know that you can do no wrong, always be honest with yourself. It wont be easy, but at least you know, you have that off your chest. Goodluck
So glad this story is back! The cliffhangers are killing me.. seems like a lot is about to happen and I can’t wait! As for coming out, I did the same w/ my sister (she is also the black sheep). I just haven’t found the nerve to tell my mom or family. Too scared right now and since I live in Cali, I haven’t really had to face it. My “friends” out here know and they are totally cool- Good Luck. PLEASE POST SOON!
Oh my, it’s really getting good now!
i missed this story…i guess it’s finally all coming to open…i hope sam and hope will help their moms to reunite…good luck with your family and follow your heart
Good luck with your family. I like how Sam has figured out about Bette. Will she tell Hope so they can try and hook T&B up again. Can’t wait to see what happens when they all see each other.
i have to say i nearly fell off my seat when i saw you had posted, its been sooooooooo long i thought you had thrown in the towel. anyway its another masterpiece, and i love the way that everything is slowly falling into place. oh and on you coming out to your family, i say you are brave girl. i’m still very young and too weak to even tell my mum who is my bestest friend in the entire world, one day i will deffinitly tell her, but that will probably be when i am in my twentys and moved out of home. anyway good luck with telling your sis, and i hope to have your guts oneday!
I have missed you and this wonderful story, I’m glad you’re feeling better again…..Thank for the update, I love this :o)) Good luck with the family, I hope they are happy for you, be strong and always remember – follow your heart :o))
Just wanted to say – love this story – and hope all goes well for you.
