Falling... Hard (girlxgirl)

Chapter 16

Kay's POV

I called my cousin to come get me. Me and him aren't that close, but we're always there for each other.

He was also gay, very gay. His parents are very accepting, the complete opposite of mine. I knew my parents wouldn't care that I was at the hospital, so I didn't even try calling them. I figured I'd get some advice from him on coming out, and how to manage people that aren't so open-minded.

About half an hour after I called Caiden to come get me, he texted me saying he was outside. He lives only two blocks away, I don't know what took him so long.

I went outside and saw his car pull up to the front. It was a black 1967 Chevrolet Impala. It was like a baby to him. His boyfriend, Gerald, doesn't understand his obsession. Frankly, I don't understand it either.

When I got in his car, I noticed Gerald was there too. Gerald and Caiden are the cutest couple. Their both in their thirty's, but they act like little five year olds around each other.

As soon as I sat down Caiden started grilling me with questions.

"Did you kiss her?"

"Are you in love?"

"Have you told Jenna or Sage?"

"What'd your parents say?"

Me and Gerald sat there in shock, I never knew how nosy Caiden was, and I guess he didn't either. I made the mistake of telling him about Alex on the phone. I wanted advice, not an interrogation.

"Yes we kissed. No I'm not in love. I haven't told anyone yet that's actually why I called. I need some advice on coming out."

I sighed.

"I'm sure you know how big of dic- homophobes my parents are, so it will be a lot more difficult."

They didn't like when I swore or used "no-no words" as they say. I've tried explaining that I'm not a little kid anymore, but they won't listen.

By now I've noticed that we're not going to my house, we're going to their place. It was probably a good idea anyway, they're going to be pissed when they find out about Alex. My parents won't care that their only daughter is missing, they probably haven't even noticed.

"Honestly Kay, I don't know what to tell ya. My parents were very supportive when I told them. I was only ten when I came out, I didn't even know what being gay meant, let alone that there are people that don't like it. I just came home one day and was like 'mom I found this boy that I like, can I date him?' and her response was 'you're too young for that, in a few years, honey.'"

Then Gerald chimed in.

"My experience was a lot worse. My parents, like yours, were very open about how much they hated gay people. I was twenty when I came home one day with Caiden and told them I was in love. My mom almost fainted and my dad slapped me right across the face. An hour earlier I mentally prepared myself for whatever they would say. My mom hit Caiden and spit on his face. My dad started breaking things either on the floor, or slamming them on my head. I stormed out with Caiden and he drove us home."

I never knew how terrible Gerald's parents were. I knew that weren't very accepting at first, but I didn't know it was that bad.

"A few years later, they came to their senses and apologized. I never forgave them, I still haven't. No matter what they say or do, it won't make up for that time."

He started to cry, trying to hold it back. Caiden kissed him and made him feel a little better. He then continued.

"Point is, no matter how they react, its going to be terrible. But if your parents are anything like mine, they'll eventually accept you. It will be too late, but they will. I suggest not doing what I did. Write a letter, slide it under the door, and run. Run to Alex's house, she will comfort you. If you have no where to go, know that we're always here for you."

We hugged and I felt so much better. His story was terrible, but seeing him now, gives me hope. His parents are jerks, but he's still living a great life. Maybe It won't be that bad after all.
