I had just returned back home from Catherine's place. I was smiling like an idiot and even my mother noticed.

She looked at me with a smile on her face, "What's all that happiness for? Is there something I should know?"

"I don't know mom, what are you taking about" Yeah, like she couldn't tell I was hiding something.

"Come on Vic. I know you too well... Is there a boy I should know about?"

"No mom. It's definitely not that."

Oh yeah... My mother also didn't know I was a lesbian. To be honest I have no idea if she supports lgbtq+ people. She has never said anything against them in the past but also nothing in their favor. I guess she just doesn't care. But what if I, her own daughter, told her that I was gay? How would she react? I have no clue... But I'll have to tell her at some point. I want to have these mother-daughter moments where I tell her about my relationships or about girls I'm interested in. So I decided this was the right time.

"Uhm... Mom I was actually thinking... I need to talk to you..."

"What's up my dear? Is everything okay? Did something happen?"

"No mom, everything is good. I just want to talk to you about something."

"Okay talk to me, then."

"Yeah... So as you know the latest years I haven't ever been interested in someone like a normal teenager would... But now when I think about it, it's not that I didn't want to... I was scared mom. I was too scared to allow myself to have any feelings about someone. It didn't feel normal." At that point I don't know what has gotten over me but I'm starting to cry. "Mom... The latest year I have discovered, that I don't like men... Not in that way. I'm a lesbian..." The last part left my mouth so quickly that I didn't even realize I said it. That was it. I had just told my mother that I was a lesbian. I decided not to let her know about everything that has been going on with Catherine though. Not yet. Now that she finally knew, I started crying even harder...

When she heard me say these words I saw a look of surprise on her face. But I guess, when she processed what she had just heard her face softened.

She hugged me while I was still crying, "Don't worry honey. I think, all these years you gave me signs but I just never saw them and understood what was going on. I'm sorry that you felt this way. I should have showed you that this is normal, since you were a kid. That you are normal. All this time you felt so scared and it is mostly my fault. I'll always love you, Vic. You are the most important person in my life. Don't you ever forget that..."

"No mom it's not your fault. Don't you ever say that again . I love you so much."

And with that I hugged her even tighter.

She then suggested: "What about going out and grab some coffee? Just the two of us. Like the old times. What do you think?"

With tears in my eyes I responded: "Yeah mom that would be great. Thanks."

And with that I spent almost the whole Sunday with my mom. We went to grab a coffee then straight for shopping. It was dark outside when we returned home so we decided to watch a movie and then go to sleep. What a day.

___Monday morning___

I woke up, and today I was overexcited... Something I wasn't used to... But why wouldn't I be? Everything just seemed perfect in my life right now. My mother finally knew about my sexuality and she reacted in the best way possible and I was finally in a relationship with Catherine... The person that I seem to care about so much. I mean, was it a relationship? I think it was. We had just admitted our feelings for each other the day before, right?

I couldn't wait to go to school today. I had to find my best friend and talk to her about everything that happened this weekend. With everything that had been going in I hadn't had the chance to text her since Saturday morning... When she gave me advice about Catherine. I owe this to her...

I got ready as fast as I could. And left for school. I texted Jane to be at school as soon as possible because I had something important to tell her.

When I arrived I saw her waiting for me in our usual place. I practically ran towards her and hugged her.

She seemed genuinely confused when she asked: "Hey! What's going on? I can't understand if you are extremely happy or extremely frustrated. Enlighten me!"

"Thank you so much! You have no idea how much you helped me Jane!"

We spent at least the following fifteen minutes talking about everything that had happened with Catherine and the fact that I came out to my mother. I told her about how gentle and loving Catherine was throughout the whole time we spent together and she just seemed so happy about me.

"We made it! You made it! We have to celebrate! I don't care if we have lessons tomorrow, so we are going to meat tonight after you're done with training. You wouldn't miss it after all, would you?" She said that last part ironically and we both bursted out laughing, then the bell rang and cut our conversation. I headed to my first lesson, with a silly smile on my face.
