Can't Hide Forever

chapter 8: The Real Me

June 4 2017. It has now been ten months since my friends found out I was bisexual. Also since me and Perla started to date. Now the school year is over and I am graduating from high school. It has been the best year ever. I don't have to hide who I am from any of my friends cause I told all of them. I have a great girlfriend and boyfriend and I'm going to the college of my dreams, Baylor University. The only thing left to do is tell my family who I really am. I plan on doing it at my graduation party witch is about to start.

Towards the end of the graduation party I decided it was time. So I got up on the stage. "Hey everyone I will like to say something." The room fell quit and my heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest but I know it was now or never. "I just wanted to say that I love everyone hear, but there is something I have been keeping from all of you." I take a deep breath and continue. "I'm bisexual." After I said it I felt relived. Relived that everyone I cared about know who I was. Relived that I will start my adult life as me. But mostly relived that I could be me and not have to hide anymore because it was really killing me inside. But I was also scared of what was going to happen now. Everyone in the room was so quit until my dad d up. He looked me in my eyes and I could tell he was angry and disgusted by me. He lifted his head and with everyone's eyes on him he said "You are not my daughter." Then he walked out of the room. I then had a pain in my heart. I thought this would happen and I thought I was ready for it but I wasn't. I didn't want anyone to see me cry so I left the party. Latter that night I received a lot of phone call from my family telling me that the loved me no matter what and they were sorry about what my dad said. I was even happy that my mom and granny called. I just hope that one day my dad will accept me for who I am.
