((homophobia))

~Laurens pov~

I walk out to my parents who are surprisingly not fighting. "Mom.. dad? Can I talk to you for a minute..?" I stand in front of them already starting to panic. "Of course. What do you need" I hear the soft words of my mother as she and my dad sit on the couch. "Uhm.. well the thing is.." I felt like backing out of telling them when I saw the stern expression on my father's face.

"I'm a boy.. and i-.."

I couldn't finish when I felt a firm slap get laid across my face and tears down my cheeks. "That's nonsense! You're not a boy. You are a girl. You will always be a girl! Nothing can change that." He huffed and my mom looked at me and back at him. "Henry.. that's not a good way to treat.." she looked at me trying to figure out what to call me. I wanted to respond but was far too scared. "Don't tell me how to treat my daughter." That hurt worse than the slap that I've felt many times before. I run back to my room sobbing.

A little while later I hear a few soft knocks. I knew it was it was my mom so I mumbled slightly letting her know she could come in. "Hey kiddo.." I hear her say and a click of the door closing. I slowly sit up and wipe my eyes. She sits beside me and rubs my back. "Sorry about him.. would you like to talk to me..?" Mom says and I nod. "So.. I don't feel like a girl anymore.. and I never really did.. I am a boy and would like too be called John or Jack.." I look at her and wipe my eyes again. She smiles slightly and nods "Alright.. I'll try my best to remember that for you.."
