I woke up from my alarm clock's annoying sound, I pressed the snooze button and looked at what time or date it is [5:30 AM Sep/30/20] My eyes widened, as I sat up almost immediately.

I ran to the bathroom and washed off as I wore my neatest clothes, and contacted George, George picked up, his voice was husky and sounds like he just woke up from his sleep "Clay?"
he said 

"TODAY'S NICK'S PERFORMANCE!!" I said enthusiastically through the phone practically jumping around the room "Clay shut up!!!" then they banged their hand against the wall. "SORRY!!!"

"Clay your aunt's angry," he said as he laughed through the phone "I'm just excited! I made this letter practically the entire night!"

"Clay you're asleep before even 1 AM I know cause I was still playing past 12"

I pouted a bit "my point is I put real effort into this one!" 

"I'm sure he'll like it... but hey if he turned you down... you'll have another friend right?" he said chuckling.

"George! that's not funny!!!" I said practically shouting at the phone again, the door to my room opened, and saw my Aunt walking in "Clay it's 5 in the morning, what's wrong with you?"

she said as she placed her hand on her waist raising one eyebrow "I'm gonna do something later"

she sighed  "Time?"

"12"

"Clay Nick's performance takes place at 3!" George exclaimed

"Is that George?" she said as she points at my phone "Hello George! what is Clay up to?"

"Oh, Auntie! he's gonna co-"

"SIRI DISCONNECT!" I shouted

then the call got dropped

"CLAY!!! what did you do that for?!" she sat on my bed legs crossed "Clay spill what is wrong"

"I've been thinking about... uhh" I scratched the back of my head can't even look at her straight in the eye "there's this guy..."

she smirked "go on" I felt the heat crawling up to my face as my body grew tenser and the butterflies in my stomach start fluttering like their's colliding onto one another "h-he's a classmate of mine..."

she looked at me with that interested sly look "he?"

"y-yeah" I was just standing in the middle of the room like I'm being interrogated

she stood up with a straight stern face as she walks up to me "Clay you do know our family hates homosexual relationships right?" she said straight to my face.

I felt my heart sank, but she hugged "But not me... I'm actually glad you came out to me... but if it were the bastards from our extended family I'm sure they wouldn't take this lightly..."

she sighed as she hugged me, I felt my tears falling from my eyes as I bury my head in her arms "Thanks... for everything..." she hugged me tightly "Of course,"

She walked out of the room after that and went downstairs 

I contacted George again 

he picked up after 2 rings

"George!" I heard chuckling at the other end of the phone "guess where I am"

"huh?" I said 

"Whoa is that Clay?" I heard Nick's voice at the other end. "NICK!!!"

"I'm coming there wait for me!"

I grabbed my wallet and ran out of my room, as I go down the stairs I saw my aunt preparing a simple breakfast but earlier than usual "Clay eat up first... I'll give you some pocket money after"
