Camping

♤ Mavis' Point Of View ♤

Ok. This is it. There is no turning back now. There they are. Just tell them Mavis. Do it. Come on say it.
"I'm gay." A sigh of relief left me as the words floated out into the atmosphere.
My parents looked at me confused.
"Are you sure?" My father asked.
I nodded while a their shell shocked faces where still.

"Well it could have been worse. I thought you were going to tell us you were pregnant." My mother said hasty.
I just sat still in front of them staring at a speck on the wooden floor.

After an awkward silence i decided i would go to my old room, but not even the thick walls and carpets could block out the words coming from my parents mouths.

"What? Are we just supposed to throw away everything we have ever wanted for her?"
"I can see she is struggling with this."
"Oh what and i can't?"
"Thats not what i meant, look she is alive and healthy and that counts for a lot."

I can't take this anymore i need to get out of here! I grabbed my bag and a few essentials and ran away. I left a note in my room saying gone back to school but that was a lie. I rang taylor and asked if she felt like camping out, so here we are.

"So you told your folks huh?" Taylor asked.
"Yup."
"How'd that go?"
"Ok i guess. They didn't say anything to my face it was when i went up to my room the shouting started."
"Oh Mavis." Taylor put her hand on mine and gently squeezed it. I looked at her longingly
She blew out a flaming marshmallow and handed it to me.
"Thanks."
She smiled with her perfect teeth, which made me smile.
"What was it like for you to come out?" I asked her.
"Oh well you know. I haven't actually disscusted it with my parents yet."
"What!"
"Yep. I wasn't planning to unless a realationship was special."
"So this doesn't mean anything to you?" I was both shocked and hurt and the words that was spilling from her mouth.
"No i am going to tell them because this feels so right."
I laughed and playfully hit her arm.
"Good you worried me for a minute there."
She laughed alond with me as she cuddled against my chest.

After that we sat under the stars, and talked.
