I go in and see a woman with vibrant red hair laying on the couch. "Who are you?"

"Uh, a friend of your son..."

"Okay."

I go past her and into Kenny's room. It looks the same. I guess it hasn't been that long but it feels like it's been forever. I sit on his bed and hug my knees. Now that I'm safe in his room, my emotions are unleashed. I start to cry. I do my best to stay quiet so I don't alarm his parents...

-

I hear footsteps run quickly through the house. Kenny throws the door open. He is out of breath, did he run here?

"Mar!" He runs and tackles me on the bed.

"Kenny..."

"You're crying... What happened? Where's your usual clothes?"

I hug him tightly, "Kenny..."

"Shh... it's okay... I'm here..." he strokes the back of my head as a cry into his chest.

"My *sniff* my dad... he took all my stuff and- and he said I couldn't see you anymore and that I wasn't allowed to go out or wear my girl clothes or go by Marjorine or-"

"Slow down... you're gonna hyperventilate. I'm not going anywhere so take your time. Start from the beginning."

I take a breath. "Okay..."

I tell him everything. Staring from when I first came out to my parents to now. It's a bit incoherent because my voice is shaky and I'm still crying, but he listens to every word, doing his best to understand.

"Fuck..."

He looks mad.

"Kenny, I don't know what to do! I need to be home right after school gets out or my dad will be furious. So I don't have much time here..."

"It's okay. We'll figure this out. Together. Let's talk through it, one piece at a time. Okay?"

"Okay..."

"First, your appearance. You said you're uncomfortable going to school like this, right?"

"Yeah,"

"Well, we both get to school pretty early. Karen and I can work something out. We can bring you clothes, makeup, whatever you need. You can get ready in the mornings at school before many people get there."

"Okay..."

"Okay. Next... you aren't allowed to see me anymore. We can either try and convince your dad otherwise or sneak around..."

"He will never listen..."

"Then we sneak around."

"I can't leave the house."

"We still have school. We can hang out at school."

"That's not enough..."

He thinks for a moment. "What if... Okay I have an idea, but it's pretty big. It'll take a lot of work but it might solve every problem here."

"What is it?"

"It also might cause some additional problems..."

"Just tell me..."

"Okay... what if... what if you move in with me."
