Dan looked at the poem in from of him.
"-Are you happy now? Says she is a girl no longer. But as a girl, she'll drown."
Dan looked at the poem, once again, and cried.
The poem was about being trans, and how society didn't except it. His mum got it for him..
He threw it across the room, "Danielle!" His mum said opening the door. "What was that noise?" Dan looked up, "Nothing. Mum." He said through gritted teeth. "Oh also! I bought you a beautiful dress for when our new neighbors come over!" "I don't wanna wear a dress!" "That's what girls do Danielle!" "But I'm not a girl!" He yelled. Dans mothers face turned red. Dan felt a smack to his face, "Don't you EVER say that!" She said, then she walked out the door. Leaving Dan alone, to cry on the floor. Dans mum was very supportive at first. But then his dad left because he couldn't deal with his "lifestyle" Dan knew the real reason he left. He had cheated on his mum.
Dan was walking home with his best friend Pj, Then he saw it. His dad. Making out with some random girl in the back of the car. "D-Dad..?" Dan whispered, "You've gotta tell your mum, Dan!" Pj whispered. "I-" Just then Dan and his dad, made eye contact. Dans dad came out of the car, he grabbed Dan by the front of his shirt,"IF YOU EVER TELL YOUR MOTHER ABOUT THIS! ILL KILL BOTH OF YA!!" Dan nodded his dad left go of his shirt and pushed him to the ground.
Dan sat in a corner crying for the rest of the night.
