TW- homophobic slurs used and offensive language.

I wake up at around 6am the next morning, Lynn next to me fast asleep as my dad barges in the door. I shoot upward and run my eyes to see clearly. "Dad? Why are you back you weren't supposed to be here for another three weeks" I say so loud it wakes Lynn up. "I got back early, whats this?" He points to Lynn as if she's just something in the way. "SHE is Lynn and SHE is my friend" I say annoyed he's treating Lynn my best friend/ crush like shit. "Ok then. I better not see anything going on, who am I kidding my princess would never be gay" he said laughing as he leaves the room and I look at Lynn and groan. "You have to come out to him sometime" she says, her morning voice perfectly on display. "Yeah I know but I can't right now cause I now he'll flip out and I don't want you to cop it" I say. "Anyways we should get ready for school it's finally the last day of the week" I say groaning in pure joy.

We both get ready, I grab Lynn's clothes from yesterday from the dryer and hand them to her as I get ready into some flare Jeans and a skin tight top with some worn down converse. I meet up with Lynn who was getting dressed in my ensuite and we grab our bags and the lunches. "Your mum loves me so much she makes me a lunch too?" Lynn says her eyes beaming. "She does it for everyone plus, you're the new best friend dude" I say calmly before we walk out the door but get interrupted by a male voice. "Don't let her turn you gay Ari!" My dad yells from the lounge room. I just roll my eyes "ignore him he's a little homophobic cunt" I say. "Yeah I kinda caught that when we walked in and said what's that about me" she laughs a little.

We finally arrive at school after having to walk because my mum was still asleep and my dad doesn't drive. I keep my AirPods in having them play "Bring Me To Life" by evanescence. I start lip syncing dramatically and Lynn tells me to stop being so weird. I take out my AirPods and put them in the case once the song finishes "so what do we have first" I ask Lynn. "Uhhh pe" she says her eyes lighting up at the realisation. I just groan "are you kidding me why do they have us in pe for first period are they insane" I say. But Lynn had different ideas "dude I'm gonna smash everyone we're doing basketball" she starts jumping like a little kid and I just roll my eyes at her.

We reach class and I get greeted with a bunch of stares because I'm late. I just groan and slump onto one of the benches. "Ari can you be my example" the teacher asks obviously seeing I'm not in the mood. "No." I say making it clear I'm not participating today. "What did you just say" the teacher raises his voice. "Sorry can you say that louder for the people in the back I don't think they heard your loud voice yet" I say. "Excuse me?" He says offended. "I SAID NO N O SPELLS NO DO I NEED THE CHEERLEADING SQUAD TO" I say getting a bit angry. The teacher just quiets down and moves onto someone else. I get glances from Lynn, not ones of annoyance, ones of concern.

Pe finishes after I spent the whole time benched and Lynn runs up to me. "Are you ok?" She says concern filling her words. "Yeah I'm fine I just feel sick" I say ignoring the concern. "You don't seem ok do you want me to take you to the medical room and they can see if you can go home?" She asks concern now over flowing her. "Yeah I guess" we walk to the medical room and they call my mum as I hug Lynn goodbye. "Ari?" They say and call me up. "Yeah" I say tired. "Your mum said you can walk home if you like" the lady says in a soft calm voice. "Yeah thank you bye" I walk out and put my AirPods in the second I can and start listening to crystal castles, specifically "untrust us" it's probably my favourite. I walk home before nearly getting hit by a car because I wasn't focusing.

I reach home and I see my dad in the hallway "now why are you home missy, did you have to get away from that absolute fag" he says laughing. "JUST SHUT UP WHO CARES IF SHES GAY, IM GAY TOO IM INLOVE WITH WOMEN IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED AND I DON'T GIVE A RATS ASS WHAT YOU THINK DAD" I yell before storming off to my room and crying. I nap for the rest of the day then wake-up to a text from Lynn.

I look at the messages my thoughts running wild. "Absolute fag" "what's this" "don't let her turn you gay" I just scream and cover my head with my pillow. Every time I think about her, the girl, the love of my life all my dad's comments run through my head. I used to never want my dead gone but now I really do want him gone. I walk downstairs "hey look it's a girl who makes friends with fa-" he stops talking when I flip him off and ignore him. I walk to the kitchen to grab some food, nothing. Not the "I'm not hungry for this stuff" nothing the cupboard is literally empty, same with the fridge. I walk out to my dad. "You're not getting any food until you repent your sins" he sits there and laughs. "When have I ever sinned tell me" I stand there my hands on my hips. "You're a faggot, that's a sin" he laughs like his evil plan will work. "Fine then, I'll just get that amazing talented independent woman called Lynn by the way to get me food with money I send her" I say walking back up the stairs. "ITS NOT A SIN TO BE GAY" I yell to my dad. Why is he like this, why can't he love his daughter. Why.

A/N
I'm so sorry I feel like I had to use the slur just to make it a bit more realistic to what a lot of lgbtq+ teens go through with homophobia.
If you ever need someone to talk to you can always put a message on my convo board and w can talk on a different platform, it's never ok to suffer in silence beautiful people.
