Nova POV:
I walk past the mirror that was in my room and caches a glimpse of myself I always try to avoid mirrors just looking at my body makes me uncomfortable cause I know the truth behind it i take off my jacket and shirt to show my black binder that I’ve been wearing for the past 3 days I know it’s dangerous and I know I should only wear it for about 6 or 8 hours but I can’t build the courage to take it off I can see the Bruises that a starting to circle my chests it’s starting to get hard to breath when All of a sudden I hear a knock on my door I quickly put my shirt and jacket back on and go to the door and open it to see Drew they’re
“Oh hey there Drew”
Drew is the only person I know that I’m trans and he’s also the one that makes sure I’m keeping myself safe with my binder-wait a sec he’s going to ask if I’ve token my binder off Crap, Crap, Crap he’s going to be pissed at me
“Hey nova Can I come in”
He says as I start to panic in the back off my head
“Umm yeah come in”
I say as he walks in my room and sits on the beanbag that’s in my room
“Do you need anything”
I say praying to god that he doesn’t ask about my binder
“Umm yeah well I just wanted to ask if you’ve been safe binding that’s all”
He says with a little bit of worry in his voice
“Oh umm yeah, yeah I’m safe binding”
I say to him but it’s obvious he doesn’t believe me
“Ok well then take off your shirt just so I can make sure”
He says to me Crap if I take of my shirt he’s going to see all of the bruises and is going to get mad at me
“Oh um”
I sigh I know I can’t get out of this so I take of my jacket and shirt to show my binder and the bruises on my sides
“Oh dear nova you can be doing this you have to stop unsafe binding your going to break a rib sooner or later”
He says to me worried obviously
“I know and I’m sorry ok I just, I didn’t want to take it off”
I say I’ve been dealing with gender Dysphoria for the past couple of weeks so it just makes me so uncomfortable seeing myself with out my binder
“Let me guess gender dysphoria”
He says with a sigh at the end
“Nova your a boy and will keep on saying that it doesn’t matter how you were born you are a boy and that’s fine”
He says to me with a smile he’s right it doesn’t matter the way I was born I’m a boy and you know what I think tomorrow will be the day I tell Ryan the truth
