It was Saturday morning I was meeting my cousin Emily at the local coffee house in town to tell her the big news.

When I arrived Tristan was there with this dude I didn't know. I hid myself for I didn't have to say hi. I thought to myself I wonder if that's his boyfriend? 

Me and Emily got a table and be can talking. I started the conversation by talking about stupid stuff like the weather my social life. I did this for I could stall from telling her. Finally I bit my lips and I said "Emily there is something I need to tell you it's really personal and I have been struggling with it for awhile. " She said "Sure you can tell me anything" I said "Emily I'm ................ I'm .................... O my god I can't do this". She said "It's okay whatever it is please just say it. " I said "Emily I'm gay." After I said that she got up and left without saying anything.  I really felt so alone at that point.  I felt so unwanted and hopeless. I felt as if everyone thinks this way. That being gay is a sin. Just because it's not what they believe they shouldn't treat me any different.  I began to cry , I have no hope.

After I collected myself I walked home wondering about the future.  When I got my mom said is everything Okay I said yep just great,  and I ran upstairs to my room. I began thinking about how useless I am. How unwanted I am.  How nobody cares, loves , or thinks about me. How I have no life.  How I have no friends. I feel dead inside. Hopefully today I will be.
