We were always meant to be

Chapter 5

I was terrified. Well I was out of my mind. I was so nervous. Today, this dinner I am coning out to my family. I am so scared! The worst case scenario is that they disown me. Why am I like this. Why can't I be "normal"? Why me? Just why. Another bad scenario would be if my bestie would cut out friendship but I do believe that won't happen. But still with my family I am, I have to do this. I will do this. I have to. I can't keep it any longer. My parents, sister and Iris are concerned that I am keeping something away from them. And they are right. I am. this is it. I will say it. If I won't then drag me to hell for not doing it. Either way I am not going to change on who I like and it will happen sooner or later. I will do this. My mom called for dinner. This is it.

I walked down and sat next to me sister on the left and to my right was my father closest. We got our food, which was a beef stew. I love this stew. I tried to eat as much as I can, because most likely what will happen I will be sent off to my room and if I dont eat enough, I won't be able to get out of my room until everyone is asleep. But I had to still be subtle about how much I eat, because too quick or a lot of food I would consume, my parents will get suspicious.

"How has been your day, Kiya?" My mother asked.

"Has been good. I mean nothing too special happening in school, just another test or homework."

"Well then how has our littles day been?"

"Its been also kind of fine."

""Lovely."

"I am not going to be at home next week. It is a business trip to the US." My father announced. Nothing new though.

"Alright, me and Kiya will make sure everything will be good at home while you are gone."

"Of course dear. Always call me if something happens, alright?" I hummed in response. We continued eating.

"I'm a lesbian!" I couldn't take it.

"What?" Dad said.

"No. Not my daughter will be a sin. This is not happening. Its a faze darling. It will pass. It has to!"

"Nothing will change mom. I like girls okay? You can't change it."

"What would anyone think of me or your father and I? That we have raised a freak?! Not in this household. That is it! Go to your room and dont come out. Dinner is finished for you. And don't you dare come out of your room today and this night! Do you hear me?!"

"Y...yes mother." With that I ran to my room and banged the door closed.hopefully she didn't get more mad. My dad was confused for a bit but did look angry in the end. Well. I have come out of the closet for my parents. One of the hardest things to do was done. Now my best friend was next. Tears were streaming down my face. I had texted Iris that I needed to talk with her. She called me up.

"Hey."

"H..hey."

"You are not okay, are you?"

"N...no."

"What happened?"

"I am a lesbian. I have come out to my parents like five minutes a...ago."

"Oh dear. They have not disowned you or kicked you out yet?"

"No. Just grounded in my room tonight."

"You like girls. Nothing changes between us really. Everything will be okay. Tomorrow, come to school a bit early and go to the first floor's bathroom and I'll meet you there. Let your parents go to hell!"

"Yeah. Go to hell my parents. I mean I still love them."

""Of course you do."

"Try and listen to some music with headphones on and try and not think of what happened. Maybe even immerse yourself in a daydream, that should help get you distracted for a while. "
