James's POV
"It's the third time this month". I told mom holding my guitar. "I know". Mom replied calmly with a sigh. "You have to do something about him. He's always picking on me." I continued to mom and dad walked through the door.
"I know his is. I'm so sorry honey. Hey". Mom replied to me and turned to dad. "Hey what's going here?" Dad asked looking at me and mom. "Oh, you'll see. Kevin get down here please". Mom yelled for Kevin. "Look what Kevin did to my guitar". I told Dad and showed him my guitar that has 'i have a vagina' written with sharpie on it.
"Oh not again". Dad said looking at my guitar. "God! You told mom and dad? You have such a vagina". Kevin said walking downstairs. "Okay enough. Enough. Now young man, we talked about the bullying of your older brother". Mom scolded Kevin pointing a finger at him. "That's right and we don't make fun of someone just because they're a little different from us". Dad said to Kevin looking at me.
"D-- I don't have a vagina". I told Dad. "I'm just sayin. Even if you did it wouldn't be okay for Kevin to tease you about your vagina". Dad continued trying to back himself up. "No! Why are you making it sound like I have a vagin?" I asked him. "I know you don't have a vagina I'm not doing that". Dad replied looking at mom wanting her to back him up.
"Kevin, apologize to your brother please." Mom said to Kevin. Kevin sighed "Fine I'm sorry". He said sarcastically. "Now, go to your room". Mom said to Kevin pointing at the stairs. "I was in my fucking room". Kevin whispered to himself walking up the stairs. "Whoa. Hey Kevin? Get back down here". Dad said stopping him. Kevin rolled is eyes and walked downstairs.
"Now listen, there are a lot of boys that are born with vaginas it's very hard for them". Dad explained to Kevin and Kevin had a smirk on his face. "Honey!" Mom said to dad. "Hmm?" Dad a
sked looking at mom. "W-why? Mom asked with her arms out. "It's a teachable moment. Hon. Gender fluidity right?" Dad said looking at mom. "It's a serious issue". Dad continued looking at me and Kevin."I'm not gender fluid". I denied shaking my head at dad. "It doesn't matter if you are. The point is your mother and I would love you even if you were completely blank down there". Dad continued looking at my.....you know... Kevin's smirk growing.
"Okay, that's not-- this is not the point. This--None--Kevin? Just go to your room". Mom said not knowing where to go with this and pointed upstairs again I slowly nodded. And Kevin went upstairs. Stopping when he was right above me. "Hey James don't just your gender fluid on me". He said with a smirk. "Awesome". I said looking up at him. "Stop!" "It's not a fluid". Mom yelled at him looking at him while he ran in his room.
"And what about my guitar? It-it's ruined!" I said to my parents showing them my guitar again. "Let me take a look". Dad said reaching out for it. I gave him the guitar. He took a sharpie and wrote something one it. He gave it back to me. I looked at it. "There you go that'll do for now and get washed up. The Petersons are coming over for dinner". He said giving me my guitar back kissing moms forehead and leaving the room.
I showed it to mom, it crossed out 'i have a vagina' and put 'i have a penis'. "Oh gosh! I'll get you a new guitar okay?" Mom said patting my shoulder.
