Standing On Edge (boyxboy)

Chapter 2: Prismatic

MOM: omg cory you are going to LOVE them! your going to live with Jocelyn shes 16 , her little baby brother, Luis hes 3 , and their guest Derrick hes 17

i gave her a menacing look. A "please dont embarress me or ill chop your fingers off with a spoon" look.

MOM: what? WHAT? I thought i told you?

ME: mom..... you told me how old Jocelyn and Luis are, but not Derrick.

MOM: oops

she giggled. No one knows my biggest secret. I'm Gay. Im so far in the closet that im pretty sure i can see Narnia in there. I've never told anyone. Im too afraid of the outcome. I'm pretty sure my mom would except me. she's full of unconditional love! but not my new step-family!! what if they're  super homophobic? They will surely kick me out! no questions or concerned adressed. No hesitation. My mom would be so devistated!

I know i probably should come out to my mom. either way i act normal. and by normal i mean there is no feminine side of my gayness. i walk, talk, eat, and breath like a man. Its how my first dad taught me. and then there is another reason! I love my family way too much to let them down like that. If i tell them, im going to a disgrace to them. i will "LET DOWN OUR FAMILIES' NAME" 

I might not be out, but i'm sure as hell smart enough to know that these are question closeted teens go through everyday. Its why society is so messed up. People are so close minded. There is no where as enough support that there need to be.

Maybe this family is different who knows?

But right now i have to worry about my mom, and myself. not who im atracted to.

MOM: ready, baby?

ME: yeah mom. just me and you.

I looked at the house. it was huge. the border was covered in adorned bushes, there was a three way driveway, and the house was two floors- but the length is what broke my scale.

ME: holy shit

my mom threw me a look. i catched it and thre it back. she smiled

we pulled up in front of the dark mahogany covered house. THe front yard was spotted with flowers and it was really green and neat.something tells me they were prepared for our visit- or stay. my mom was telling and nagging me about the house during the wholde ride- but she never told me about the beautiful garden or tulips and roses. its was beautiful and breathtaking.

my mom stopped the car and got out. i stared at her. she held my luggae in her arms, she walked across an iredescent marble path to to door that was coated in silver spirals. i followed. she knocked once then twice. i took a look at my mom. she was nervous but excited.

i got ready to see my new stepfather. okay here i go. lets see what this demon looks like.

eye closed my eyes and tried to imagine what he would look like. a big fat wealthy man, with gold coins spilling out of his pockets, eating a huge turkey leg. ew.

the door opened.

there standing was a man. he wasn't eating a turkey leg, nor was he stout. he had a neck-  teeth, two arms, a face, and two legs. okay. he quickly smiled when he saw us.

STEPFATHER: its so nice to finally meet you Coreth!

ME: call me cory, please. 

i smiled. or atleast tried to. im pretty sure my mom was high when she named me. CORETH? REALLY MOM? WHY.

STEPFATHER: okay cory. my name is Jack.

Me: nice to meet you.

jack turned to my mom. they stared at eachother for like 20 seconds until he finnaly spoke.

JACK: why dont you guys come in?

MOM: why thank you jack

ME: thanks

the inside was huge. this family was RICH. im sure i was going to like it there.
