It was 6:47pm. Dad had come home from work and we were all sat at the table, eating tea. Tonight, I was going to tell them. I was going to come out to my parents. I hadn't quite figured out what I was going to say yet, but I really didn't want to do it. I waited until everyone had finished eating, and once everyone was sat in the living room, I put the tv on mute and stood up.
"Erm, mum, dad, I need to tell you something"
"What is it honey?" Mum asked
"Erm, well" I froze "It's just, erm"
"Spit it out" My dad laughed
"I've, erm... got a... boyfriend"
Mum's eyes widened "Oh. Okay. That's fine Phil"
"You're allowing this?" Dad shouted at mum
"Well, yes, it's fine" She smiled at me, but I was worried
"I will NOT tolerate a gay son in this house"
"I'm not gay, dad. I still like girls. I think I'm bisexual"
"Oh, gay, bi, its all the same. You've still picked the gay side though haven't you?"
"Dad, please don't be like this" Martyn butted in
"Oh, don't tell me you're gay too" He shouted
"No, no, I'm straight" He replied, putting his hands up
"Well at least I've got one son thats not a disappointment"

I stormed into my room and mum followed me.
"Phil" she started "Maybe you should just stay away from your boyfriend until your dad cools down"
"No, I won't. I'm not being punished because he won't accept me"
"Fine, but don't blame me for what happens with you and your dad"
I stood up, picking up Dan's phone and mine and started to leave my room
"Phil, where are you going?"
"To Dan's"
"Is Dan your boyfriend?"
"Yes"
"Wait, stay here for a minute" She demanded
"What?" I turned to look at her
"Is that his phone?"
"Yeah" I answered, looking down at the IPhone in my hand
"So he was the one who was here last night?"
"Er, yeah"
"Phil, did he stay over?"
"No, of course not" I lied
"Okay then. Don't tell dad where you're going"
"Fine" I replied, as I left the house
