HERO, AUBREY, KEL, and MARI all arrive at the hospital shortly after I call them.

"You said there was something you needed to tell us?" KEL asks, confused.

MARI and I lock eyes. She knows what's happening. She gives me a gentle smile and nods, letting me know, this is a good choice. She is proud of me. 

AUBREY laughs, "We already know you guys are gay as fuck for each other. We don't care."

I shake my head. "It's not that."

BASIL grabs my hand, anxious and worried. I give his hand, slightly rough from gardening, but soft from fancy lotions, a gentle squeeze, letting him know that no matter how they react, no matter what happens, I'll always be with him, I'll always love him. No more hiding. 

I have no idea what will happen, but push aside my hesitation.

 I tell them the truth.
