Y/n is adopted by Sarah and Holland she has been living with them since she was young. She is now 17 and coming to terms with her sexuality.

________________________________________________________________________________

Y/n POV

I've been struggling for a while now. I don't quite understand where I fit and its scaring me. I'm too scared to even find the words to describe my feelings. I always felt different to my friends at school. They were always talking about what boy they had a crush on or asking me who I liked. It was all so confusing. I knew I liked girls but I also sometimes felt an attraction to some boys.

When it came to labelling to me I always ended up in a muddle. Try to find the right one that fit me was hard. My brain would always end up in a muddle and I would then be unable to think straight. I knew I wasn't straight but I didn't know if I was a Lesbian, Bi-sexual or even Pansexual. Eventually, I gave up on trying to label my sexuality as I realised it didn't change my feelings or who I was attracted to. I was attracted to who I was attracted too and that was the end of it. Eventually, I decided on labelling myself as queer as it felt the most fitting, even though I had began using this I still was not going to be defined by a label. Love is Love and that's what matters.

This was still all so new to me even though I knew I had these feelings a long time ago. I decided I wanted to talk to my moms Sarah and Holland about the way I felt. I knew they would be accepting but I was so scared to even say the words I was thinking. Eventually, I decided tomorrow would be the day. I would go to school, come home, shower and then tell them.

I went to sleep so nervous but also excited about tomorrow. I laid restless in my bed for ages then decided to get up for some water. My moms where still downstairs with Winnie and Louise.

Holland: "Hey darling, are you okay you look kinda pale? And weren't you going to bed like an hour ago." She raised her brows at me.

Y/n: "Erm..yeah sorry I couldn't sleep and needed water so"

Sarah: "That's fine honey. Is something bothering you? You seem kinda tense."

They could clearly both tell something was up but I wasn't ready to talk yet so I just said "No don't worry I'm okay just tired." With that I got my water and went up to bed.

I tossed and turned all night and then eventually got to sleep.

Time skip 7:00am Morning

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

"Ugh" my alarm wouldn't stop beeping as I woke up for school. I eventually got it to shut up and then I showered, got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast.

Sarah POV

Y/n came downstairs for breakfast and I could immediately feel something was off with her. She barley spoke and even when she did I had to virtually drag sentences from her. I asked her what was bothering her but she just said she was tired so we left and I took her to school. She got out of the car and met some of her friends and then she went off into school. When I got home Holland mentioned she noticed y/n hasn't been her usual self this past few weeks. We both decided that we would both pick her up from school tonight. Eventually, the time came round and we picked y/n up from school. She seemed even more on edge than this morning, she was clearly very nervous about something and that worried me. She could barley even make eye contact with me or her mom and she kept fidgeting with her sleeves pulling them over her hands. We made it home and I prepared dinner with Holland. Y/n went upstairs to shower and came back downstairs with her pyjamas on.

We all ate food together

We all ate food together. Me and Holland tried to get y/n to talk to us more than she had been but nothing seemed to work so we all decided to sit in the living room. Me and Holland sat on one size of the couch and y/n on the other looking rather sheepish. After a while she turned to us and simply asked us to turn off the TV as she had something she needed to speak to us about. I got really nervous and so did Holland. My mind jumped to lots of conclusions so quickly.

Y/ns POV

We were all sat on the couch and I knew this was my time. I asked my moms to turn off the TV so I could talk to them and them did. I started to fidget and look for my words.

Y/n: "erm...sooo...I have to tell you guys something."

Sarah: "Honey what is it? We wont be mad whatever it is just tell us please."
Holland:" Me and your mom are worried sweetie. What's happened."

Tears began to fall from my eyes. It was happening again and I couldn't get my words out. I kept stuttering and stumbling over everything.

Y/n: "Well I erm I don't know how to tell you guys. I don't really understand it myself to be honest. It's kinda scary."

Sarah: "Honey please tell us. We just want to help."

Y/n: "Well I umm I guess I have known for a while that I well you know don't just like boys."

Holland: "That's totally okay honey and we support you."

Y/n: " I like girls too. I don't really have a label yet as I have been finding it hard to find the right fit if you understand what I mean so I have decided on referring to my sexuality as queer. I know I like boys and girls but I never felt like I could decided if I was Lesbian, Bi or even Pan. I know I like boys and girls but I'm not sure if I like people regardless of there gender, it might be more of their personality that attracts me. I do know though that I lean more towards women."

Sarah: "Oh honey I'm so happy you told us. I don't label myself as that's what makes me feel most comfortable. I think we both understand how you are feeling about this and we both want to help as much as we can."

Holland: "Honey were so proud of you! Thank you for being brave enough to tell us."

Sarah: "Don't worry about labels, they don't define you or your worth sweetie, we love you regardless."

Y/n: "Thank you guys. I love you!"

Sarah: "I love you sweetie."

Holland: "I love you too my dear."

And with that we all snuggled on the couch. I felt so much better that I had told them even though I still felt all weird and fuzzy inside. It was all so new to me but I was glad to have their support.
