"Hunny?" Mom said "Hm?" I answered "you spaced out are you ok..?" Mom asked "Yeah I'm fine also grandma grandpa I wanted to tell you guys something.." I said standing up "Go on" William said I glanced at my mom and she stood up "I wanted to say that I am not your granddaughter." I say and they look shocked. "What does that mean?" Megan said "I'm your grandson" I said as my mom walked over to me "Excuse me." William said "I'm trans, my name is alec.." I said "why on earth would you say that and choose that name?!" Megan said standing up "I am not a girl and Alex chose it.." I said "THAT NAME IS HIDOUSE YOU ARE A GIRL NOT A BOY!" William yelled standing up and I backed up hitting my mom's shoulder and she covered my ears "ALEC IS A BOY AND YOU KNOW WHAT MOM AND DAD IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT DON'T CONTACT US." My mom yelled really loud but to me it was muffled a bit

We left their house quickly. "Look I'm sorry.." mom said "why?" I said "because I told you not to tell them..not to be you so I'm sorry Alec" mom said "Its okay I forgive you mom" I said "Okay also Alec suits you there just dumb and can't see that." Mom said "And sorry for the yelling" mom said glancing at me and back at the road "It's okay mom I know you didn't mean to you just mad that's all" I said "yeah but that doesn't excuse your ptsd with yelling..." Mom said then I said "I'm okay it's ok I promise" promise god I hate that word "Okay I believe you Alec'' mom said "Good you should believe your son it would be bad to not believe me don't you agree?" I said and mom laughed a little "Yeah I suppose you're right" Mom said and messed up my hair "Mom! What the heck?" I said laughing. The rest of the ride we laughed and told jokes, the most fun we had in a while.

When we got to the house mom had me go up to my room and get ready for bed so I ran upstairs and took off my binder then changed into my blue pj's and brushed my teeth. When I finished I went downstairs and saw mom talking to a woman "Hey mom I'm done." I said standing at the bottom of the stairs. "Oh hey bud this is Olivia, Olivia this is Alec my son" Mom said "Oh this is Alec nice to meet you I'm as your mom said Olivia" Olivia said walking up to me and we shook hands "I hope I'm not a bother" she said "Oh not at all as long as you make mom happy" I said smiling and she smiled back "Oh hun did you take your binder off?" Mom said walking up to me "Yeah I did don't worry mom" I said reassuring her

"Oh yeah your trans I forgot to be honest I couldn't even Tell Alec" Olivia said "Thanks Olivia" I said "Yeah also love your name lil dude" Olivia said and I smiled "Thanks it means alot because my sister chose it" I said rubbing my neck "oh that's sweet I heard about her sorry dude anyway I better get going I have to feed the dog" Olivia said "You have a dog that's so cool" I said glancing at mom and she smiled "Yeah her name is shelby" Olivia said as she gathered her things and headed to the door and my mom kissed her on the way out.

"Well now you have met her, what do you think?" mom asked sitting next to me on the couch "I like her, she's a cool mom. I'm happy for you" I said smiling " Thanks bud I knew you would like her and I can Take you to meet Shelby after school tomorrow how does that sound?" Mom said "Sounds great also do you have a job now? I mean a better job?" I asked her last one was terrible "Yeah I work at the school now hope you don't mind" she said "oh not at all mom i'm happy you got it at the school means I can get to you faster if I need to" I said and smiled mom smiled back "you better get to bed you have a long day ahead of you" she said "Right..Also you get to meet liam I'm so excited" I said running up to my room and shutting my door I already knew I wasn't going to sleep that easy.

I walked over to my laptop and opened it to messenger and texted Laim. "hey bby what's up?" not long after he replied "Nothing much. You?" I texted back "I just got to my mom's and met her gf" he replied quickly "thats awesome alec, oh gtg im kinda busy rn" I replied "ok love you night" and closed the app then pulled up my story and started to write about two hours into it i got bored and opened my saved images to see a new photo album called 'roses for you'.

I opened the album to see a picture of a pink rose with the caption 'this rose is for you' and at seeing that I went to google and googled what a pink rose meant and I read aloud what I saw "Pink roses symbolize gratitude, grace, and joy" I am confused about what this means but in the corner of the picture I see writing and zoom in and see a sentence saying 'come back to see your next rose tomorrow.'
I got confused but I shut my laptop and went and lied on my bed and slowly fell asleep. Then day I wake up to my alarm saying 7:00 am I shut it off and picked my outfit for the day and got a towel and got in the shower when I got out it was 7:45am and I gathered my things and put them in my backpack and sat it down on my desk and did my hair when I was done it was 8:00am so I put on my shoes and went downstairs were I saw mom with a box.
