Tw:mentions of guns,mentions of abuse and rape Tw: mentions of suicide Noah's pov Today is the day! I come out to all my family and tell them that me and james are dating! I really really hope that they understand! All my friends know now and they are totally accepting so hopefully my family will be too!! I walk out of my room and I see my mum cooking for dinner tonight! Someone knocks on the door and i open it and richelle smiles at me softly before hugging me, she walks in "hi mum!"richelle says "hi Richie how are you?"my mum asks "I'm good how are you?"richelle asks sitting on the bar stool. I kiss Richelle's head see me and richelle have this agreement with each other for my family until I come out to them! We will flirt with each other so no one finds out. We've been doing since we were 13! Richelle is my best friend and has covered for me multiple times!
I begin to bite my nails and richelle moves my hand away, my mum gives us breakfast "oh no thanks mum I'm not that hungry!"richelle says "I didn't ask you to eat I'm telling you!"my mum says so richelle starts eating. We head to dance and we practice for about five hours with breaks in between and we are all messing around at the end of it. I go home and I'm greeted by all my family like aunties and uncles and grandparents! Everyone except from my friends! "Okay so I wanted to tell you guys something!"i say and they all look at me confused "okay so obviously all of you know I'm trans but I'm also gay!"i say and everyone's faces drop including my mums "the fuck you are!"my mum says and I feel the tears already stream down my face! "No family members of mine will be gay!"my uncle says and everyone agrees with him "wait if you are gay you would have to be dating a boy!"my mum says angrily "yeah I am I'm dating james!"i say in the same tone as my mum and they all scream and shout at me "you can say what you want because I have NEVER EVER been happier!"i shout as I leave. I begin to sob as I get in my car and drive away, i immediately go to the next step.
I walk in still crying and everyone looks at me confused and richelle runs over and hugs me,i sink to the floor and she goes down with me as i sob into her shoulder "sh it will be okay"richelle whispers "even my mum isn't okay with it!"i say in between sobs "oh darling I'm sorry"richelle whispers wiping my tears. After I calm down a bit I hug james "they'll come around eventually baby"james says and i nod. Richelle walks off to grab something but my uncle walks in angrily and i grab my phone and text richelle

"Noah where's richelle?"my uncle asks "right here!"richelle says behind him and that's when I see the gun. Richelle spots it too but she doesn't move away "did you know he's gay?"my uncle asks "yes!i do"richelle says "what?"my uncle says "I've know he was gay for years now and umm this won't make you feel better but I'm gay too!"richelle says. My uncle pulls out his gun and points it at me and only then did I see richelle become worried!
"Wait shoot me it will hurt him more to see me in pain then him so shoot me!"richelle says "no!"i shout and my uncle turns to richelle and I feel like I could throw up! "Shoot me no one else"richelle says "why not them?"my uncle asks "because I know you Mitchel I know you could never hurt your own nephew but shooting me will hurt him a lot!"richelle which is true "yeah why not the others?"my uncle asks "because you said when your willing sacrifice yourself for your friends they aren't friends they are family!"richelle says "and they are my family!"richelle says. Richelle smiles at me "let me just do one thing?"richelle asks my uncle before walking over to me. Richelle looks at me before hugging me "I love you noah so much okay?"richelle asks "yeah I love you too but he's not going to shoot you!"i say softly
