Third Person POV

Kaitlynn stared at her reflection in the mirror, almost at the point of tears at what she saw.

Short, spiked hair, flat chest, and other details on her face that disgust her.

She knew who she was.
But the mirror didn't reflect that.
It didn't show who she was. It showed who she was born as.

'Kai'. A cowardly 'boy' who was too afraid to even tell 'his' sister or boyfriend who 'he' truly was.

Kaitlynn remained a coward. Scared of what the world would do if they found out her secret.
She hasn't told anyone.
To this day, she lives a lie.

What am I supposed to tell him?

Tears stain her face as she slides down the bathroom wall.

He'll hate me, I know it.

She pulls her knees into her chest and buries her face in her arms, attempting to hide from the world.

Everyone will...

A faint creaking noise could be heard outside the bathroom door. The hallway, someone came in the bedroom.

She tried to stay quiet, but the footsteps grew louder, and at this point she didn't care for hiding her cries. It wouldn't work anyways.

The footsteps drew nearer, and someone opened the bathroom door fully.
She turned, it was Lloyd...her boyfriend. "..Kai?"

Kaitlynn only cried harder at the humiliating scene, sobbed into her hands.

He knelt down next to his lover and asked, "Kai, hey, what's going on?" she said nothing and threw her arms around him. He leaned in and allowed her to cry into his shirt. "..it's alright." he whispered.

When the tears seemed to calm down, he pulled her up and they left the bathroom. Lloyd tried to lead her to the bed but her knees felt weak. Halfway across the room they gave out, and she fell to the ground.

"Kai!" The tears returned and her arms shook as she tried to sit up. Lloyd got on the floor again and this time his face was full of distress. "Kai- baby, talk to me, what's wrong?"

"I-I-" She sat back and tried to wipe her face as the tears poured down. "I'm s-sorry."

"For what?- You didn't do anything!" He reached for her hands but-

"Y-Yes I did!" Kate yelled.

She put her head down, not wanting to look at how worried and sad Lloyd looked. "I-" her hands continued to shake and her voice began to crack.

"..y-you've been great since we s-started dating. B-But I still lie to you. E-Everyday...I say that I'm happy...happy as your...your boyfriend."

Lloyd let out a small gasp, sounding teary-eyed. "..you.." his voice was low, hesitant. "...want to break up with me?"

"No! No- I-I need you- I just don't want you to leave me after I tell you this!"

Her breathing was shaky after her outburst, it being the only thing in the silence until Lloyd finally asked, "..what?"

"P-Promise." she timidly demanded. "Promise me you won't. That you-you'll understand and respect my choice."
