Emmerson left, and so I decided that it is time to talk to my parents about how I needed medication.
And of course, I was going to tell them about the hallucination I had that went on for a few weeks, to back up my stating.
But there was something I switched up...
The gender of my hallucination and the name. Instead of Astrophel it was going to be Astrophella. Basic, I know. But believable enough. And I wasn't going to tell them about me being trans and a homosexual, of course, I was too scared to do that after all.
Why, you ask? Because I figured 'I have only one year left in highschool, I ought to tell my parents the news in college!'.
Another stupid idea, of course.
Not to spoil it, but, it was never a good idea for me to come out to my parents. They're communists who think mental illness can just go away if you want it to go away. They also think being a homosexual is a mental illness. In the first chapter, when they found out that I have schizophrenia,they told me to'flick away' my mental disorder and expressed to me that the condition I have is just in my head.
So, back to the story.
I told them I needed to be on medication because I had an illusion of a girl named Astrophella for a few weeks an yada yada...
And my parents were skeptical at first, but after a few minutes of begging them to give me my necessities, they gave up and willingly apologized for their behavior.
The next day we resolved the problem.
